La brutalitat i vitalitat d'un món del qual se'ns manté ignorants se'ns presenta, amb tota la seva cruesa, en quatre relats ambientats en quatre països africans: Namíbia, Congo, Senegal i Ruanda. Dos soldats perseguint uns fugitius pel desert, un home que conviu amb alguna cosa dintre seu, uns viatgers assaltats i abandonats a la carretera, un lladre que fuig i cau enmig del conflicte. Un llibre sobre l'Àfrica invisible i amb un fil conductor, Motorsoul. Abús i violència, malalties, heroïcitats, religió, esperança, màgia i superstició, uneixen i destrueixen comunitats, famílies i persones en aquesta novel·la d'aventures. "Motorsoul és l'energia intangible i primigènia que mou en última instància l'ésser humà. Motorsoul ens iguala en condició, no pot ésser dominada per la nostra voluntat i es manifesta en les pitjors circumstàncies. Motorsoul no ens abandona mai, és natura." Així defineix l'autor Motorsoul, allò que et fa reaccionar en última instància abans de prendre una ràpida decisió. Estàs segur que actues amb el cervell?

Escriptors frustrats, petons que no arriben, bevedors empedreïts, obscurs encantaments, els monstres i dimonis i pors que poblen la ment, un sàtir malèvol, joves turmentats i famílies perfectament disfuncionals són només una mostra de tot allò que Kevin Barry ens presenta en aquesta obra. L'autor de la perversa Ciutat de Bohane (2015, Raig Verd, guanyadora del Premi Impac 2013) ens ofereix una col·lecció d'imprevisibles relats d'amor, crueltat, crim, desesperació i llum. Kevin Barry ha estat descrit com "l'escriptor més sorprenent que ha sortit d'Irlanda en els darrers anys". Cada pàgina desborda de l'empatia, l'humor vandàlic i el llenguatge abrasador que marquen Kevin Barry com un gran artista i un contacontes singular. Aquest compendi reuneix els millors relats de les col·leccions There are Little Kingdoms (2010) i Dark Lies the Island (2013), aquesta última guanyadora del EFG Private Bank Short Story Prize que atorga el Sunday Times, a més d'"Ox Mountain Death Song" (2012), publicat originalment a The New Yorker.

'How can a three-pound mass of jelly that you can hold in your palm imagine angels, contemplate the meaning of infinity, and even question its own place in the cosmos?' V. S. Ramachandran, neuroscientist, 2011 How we think, feel, move, remember, imagine, and experience the outside world and our own bodies is the domain of neuroscience. For millennia, the workings of the brain and nerves could be approached only through superstition and conjecture. Then, in the 19th century, neuroscience began to cast light on this most complex of our bodily systems. This book traces the development of neuroscience, from ancient beliefs to the technologies of the present day. Neuroscience is the science of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Our fascination with the mental activity that makes humans unique in the animal kingdom is as old as humanity itself, and the interaction of the physical body with the insubstantial mind has puzzled some of the greatest thinkers. Here we trace the story of our growing understanding of the nervous system, from the time of the Ancient Greeks through Descartes, Willis and Golgi to the work of Nobel prizewinning scientists. The Story of Neuroscience weaves together narratives from philosophy, religion, psychology, physics, anatomy, chemistry, pharmacology, and a host of other sciences. It is a story that is still unfolding today. Topics include: The interaction of mind, soul, and body The localization of functions within the brain The workings of the nervous system The motor system and how we move The sensory system and how we construct perception Mental illness, brain damage, and lessons from dysfunction and disease Mental activity, including learning, memory, identity, and imagination

Neuroscience is the science of the brain and the nervous system. This volume explores the early history of the field, including landmark case studies like that of the railroad worker Phineas Gage's impalement by an iron rod, an accident he survived, though not without personality changes. Also examined are early studies of madness and genius, physical treatments for psychiatric disorders, and the categorization of neurological differences and disorders, such as autism. The emergence of cognitive science in the modern era is also covered, including theories of intelligence, learning, language development, machine intelligence, and consciousness. Loaded with color and archival images and graphics, this volume illuminates one of our greatest and most enduring mysteries, the human mind.

Film is often used to represent the natural landscape and, increasingly, to communicate environmentalist messages. Yet behind even today’s “green” movies are ecologically unsustainable production, distribution, and consumption processes. Noting how seemingly immaterial moving images are supported by highly durable resource-dependent infrastructures, The Cinematic Footprint traces the history of how the “hydrocarbon imagination” has been central to the development of film as a medium. Nadia Bozak’s innovative fusion of film studies and environmental studies makes provocative connections between the disappearance of material resources and the emergence of digital media—with examples ranging from early cinema to Dziga Vertov’s prescient eye, from Chris Marker’s analog experiments to the digital work of Agnès Varda, James Benning, and Zacharias Kunuk. Combining an analysis of cinema technology with a sensitive consideration of film aesthetics, The Cinematic Footprint offers a new perspective on moving images and the natural resources that sustain them.

In Biker Chicz of North America, Edward Winterhalder and Wil De Clercq have compiled in-depth profiles of twenty-two fascinating women who ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Each chapter features an individual whose life story is compelling, intriguing, fascinating, and inspirational. While each woman featured in this book is unique and extraordinary in her own right, there are, not surprisingly, certain attributes they all have in common. In addition to being avowed motorcycle riders they live to ride and ride to live they are successful, intelligent, freethinking, adventurous, creative, inspiring, and tenacious. They are women who have followed their dreams and dared to live life on their own terms. All are survivors who boldly took on challenges that many of us men or women would find daunting. Some of them came by their success easily, others by triumphing over adversity. Despite their common traits, most are as different as night and day. Some are introverted, others extroverted; some are family oriented, others are loners. They ll be the first to admit, however, that without their Harleys, they would not be who they are today. Their beloved motorcycles are what defines them and what sets them apart from their nonriding sisters.

Un brot d'Ebola s'estén per una zona rural del Sudan del Sud. Un bruixot serà la peça clau per a la seva extinció. Amb cert sentiment de culpa —perquè, potser, podria haver fet alguna cosa més— decideix adoptar una nena supervivent del desastre, l'Alice. Alhora s'enfronta a l'ésser maligne causant, un yam que habita al fons d'una cova, un lloc fred i fosc, un lloc buit i sense ànima on gairebé no es pot ni respirar. Amb catorze anys, l'Alice, protagonista d'aquesta història, rescatarà i adoptarà un nadó, el Topi, que canviarà la seva vida. Seguirem l'Alice i el Topi per un camí que els durà a enfrontar-se amb el mateix ésser maligne de la seva infantesa. D'alguna manera, l'ha estat esperant tota una vida. L'escriptor català sota pseudònim, Stalker, ens ofereix aquí un homenatge a un clàssic de la literatura ambientada a Sudan del Sud, ampliant les històries del seu llibre Motorsoul , aquesta vegada dintre del gènere fantàstic.

Encara n'hi ha que recorden bé els fets del 1976, l'any que van tancar el monstre, quan la gent es va endinsar al canyissar amb escopetes, matxets i garrots; i amb la gàbia. Van creure's lliures per sempre de la maledicció. Ignoraven que terra endins, embolcallats per una voluntat contrària al món, maligna, hi bategaven diamants, la veta més gran del planeta. Per revertir la decadència que porta a la seva fi, la humanitat només compta amb uns nens esclavitzats en unes mines perilloses, una bruixa vella i un cap tribal deprimit. Però també els que ens vetllen, els que ens estimen. Stalker ens ofereix la seva tercera obra, sisena entrega del cicle Motorsoul: aquest cop viatgem a Sierra Leone.
