'This book is a must-read for parents and educators who want to refocus children's attention to one of the greatest secrets to long-term happiness - discovering the extraordinary in the ordinary' - Jessica Joelle Alexander, co-author of The Danish Way of Parenting Children of the last twenty years have grown up in an increasingly frenzied and demanding environment so that, on one hand, education has been rendered more complicated, and on the other, the essentials have been lost to view. In order to ensure their future success, parents often feel that they must fill their children's schedules with endless activities that cause leisure, spontaneous activity, and the experience of nature, beauty and silence, to fade out of their lives. This veritable race toward adulthood distances children more and more from the natural laws of childhood. A constant stream of loud and flashy stimuli disturbs the only true and sustainable learning that exists in them: that of calmly and quietly discovering the world for themselves and at their own pace, with a sense of wonder that goes beyond mere curiosity for the unknown or interest in novelty. In a world such as this, it can be a daunting task for a parent or educator of young children to discern how to best raise their children. Catherine L'Ecuyer offers clarity, drawing attention to the findings of many studies of the last few decades on the effects of screen use, overstimulation and mechanistic approaches to education on young children, and suggests time exploring the real world, more silence and the 'Wonder Approach' as remedies. Learning should be a wondrous journey guided by a deep reflection on what the natural laws of childhood require: respect for children's pace and rhythms, innocence, sense of mystery and thirst for beauty.

‘A Theory of Wonder’ aims to determine the best way science can satisfy our sense of wonder by exploring the world. Empiricism tells us that science succeeds because it follows the scientific method: Observation passes judgment on Theory – supporting or rejecting it. Much credit is given to the inventor of the method, Galileo, but when historically-minded philosophers of science like Kuhn and Feyerabend called our attention to what Galileo actually wrote and did, we were shocked to find out that Galileo instead drives a dagger through the heart of empiricism; he strikes down the distinction between theory and observation. Plain facts, like the vertical fall of a stone, ruled out the motion of the Earth. To conclude that the stone really falls vertically, however, we must assume that the Earth does not move. If it does move, then the stone only “seems” to fall vertically. Galileo then replaced the “facts” against the motion of the Earth with “facts” that included such motion. This process is typical during scientific revolutions. A good strategy for science is to elaborate radical alternatives; then, and on their basis, reconsider what counts as evidence. Feyerabend was called irrational for this suggestion; but looking at the practice of science from the perspective of evolution and neuroscience shows that the suggestion is very reasonable instead, and, moreover, explains why science works best as a radical form of knowledge. It also leads to a sensible biological form of relative truth, with preliminary drafts leading to exciting discussions with other researchers in the philosophy of science. This book will be of particular interest to university students, instructors and researchers in history or philosophy of science, as well as those with a general interest in the nature of science.

Welcome to a captivating journey into the uncharted territory of your most incredible organ—the human brain. This book is your ticket to unraveling the mysteries of this intricate neural universe, a journey that will take you from the very basics to the frontiers of contemporary neuroscience, all while keeping the wonders of the brain accessible to every curious mind. In the pages that follow, we will embark on an exploration of the brain's intricate pathways, its awe-inspiring powers, and the profound impact it has on your daily life. Whether you're an aspiring neuroscientist or simply a curious individual eager to understand the enigmatic workings of your own mind, this book has something to offer you. Imagine delving into the world of neurons, those tiny messengers that transmit our thoughts, emotions, and sensations. We'll unravel their secrets, demystifying how they communicate through intricate electrical and chemical signals. Together, we'll embark on a grand tour of the nervous system, from the central command center in your brain to the far reaches of the peripheral nerves that carry out its orders. We'll explore the sensory systems that connect you to the external world—how your eyes capture light and transform it into vision, how your ears translate vibrations into music and speech, and how your skin senses the gentle caress of a breeze or the warmth of a hug. You'll gain insight into the gustatory and olfactory systems that turn a simple meal into a symphony of flavors and scents. But our journey doesn't stop at perception. We'll delve into the marvel of movement, from the motor cortex that orchestrates complex dances of muscles to the subconscious reflexes that keep you balanced and safe. And as we navigate the brain's emotional landscape, you'll discover how its limbic system shapes your feelings and memories. As we venture further, we'll unlock the mysteries of learning and memory, exploring how your brain encodes experiences and retrieves them when needed. The chapters that follow will lead us through the intricate terrain of language processing, attention, and consciousness, shedding light on the essence of human cognition. Yet, our voyage isn't confined to the present; we'll gaze into the future of neuroscience, where cutting-edge technologies like brain-computer interfaces and neural implants promise to revolutionize the way we interact with our own minds. Finally, as we conclude our journey, we'll reflect on the ever-evolving field of neuroscience and the endless horizons of discovery that lie ahead. So, dear reader, fasten your seatbelt and prepare for an odyssey through the neural cosmos that is your brain. Whether you're a scientist, a student, or simply someone curious about the marvels of the human mind, I invite you to join me on this expedition—one that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the complex, beautiful, and utterly fascinating organ nestled within your skull. Welcome to a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and where the wonders of the brain are unveiled, one chapter at a time.

Inthis mind-bending book, award-winning neuroscientist Henning Beck explains whyperfectionism is pointless - and argues that mistakes, missteps and flawsare the keys to success. Remember that time you messed upsimple maths or forgot the name of your favourite song? What if someone toldyou that our brain freezes are actually secret weapons, proof of oursuperiority to computers and AI? In Scatterbrain,we learn that boredom awakens the muse, distractions spark creativity andmisjudging time creates valuable memories, among the many other benefits of ourfaulty minds. Combining cutting-edge science with brain-boosting advice andrivetting real-life stories, Henning Beck takes us on a fascinating adventure throughhuman memory (one that we'll all remember differently!). 'The brain is a messy, faulty wonder, and if we could all agree that perfection is not the mind's ultimate goal, we would be much better off. Henning Beck shows us how to appreciate our imperfect brains - and is fine with readers straying from the page from time to time!' -- Ylva Østby, author of Diving for Seahorses 'At last, a user's guide for your brain, with plenty of fresh science and lots of surprises.' -- Robyn Williams, presenter of The Science Show 'An instructive celebration of the flawed, chaotic wonder that is the human brain.' -- Bianca Nogrady, Science Journalist and Editor of The Best Australian Science Writing 2019 'Illuminating, and a joy to read, this offers, in comparison to other recent neuroscience titles, a refreshingly accessible and relatable take on the brain's inner workings that should appeal to both science buffs and casual readers.' -- Publisher's Weekly, starred review 'Being scatterbrained has long been seen as a disadvantage, but as a neuroscientist, Henning Beck knows better. His engaging book will convince you that forgetting helps you remember and distractions can make you more creative.' -- Adam Grant, New York Times best-selling author of Originals and Give and Take, and host of the TED podcast Worklife 'Scatterbrain is a brilliant and engaging user's guide to the brain, masterfully transforming discoveries from neuroscience into practical personal insights and disruptive corporate practice.' -- Donald Hoffman, Professor of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, and author of The Case Against Reality 'For anyone who has ever momentarily blanked on a name, choked under pressure, or kicked themselves for making a "careless" mistake, you may now forgive yourself. With this insightful and accessible book, Beck humorously sledgehammers the notion that our brains are infallible and omniscient, guiding the reader through the myriad ways our nervous system can betray us and how to avoid the costliest miscues. All the while, Beck will leave you more in awe of the brain than ever before.' -- Zach Schonbrun, author of The Performance Cortex 'In an era of continuous self-optimization, Scatterbrain by German neuroscientist Dr Henning Beck offers novel insights on our often self-defeating pursuit of perfection, and provides a roadmap to more creative thinking and better decision-making to realise one's full potential. A must-read!' -- Sandra Navidi, Founder and CEO of BeyondGlobal and best-selling author of $uperHubs
