"A concise and accessible introduction to exoplanets that explains the cutting-edge science behind recent discoveries. For centuries, people have speculated about the possibility of planets orbiting distant stars, but only since the 1990s has technology allowed astronomers to detect them. At this point, more than five thousand such exoplanets have been identified, with the pace of discovery accelerating after the launch of NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Satellite Survey and the Webb Space Telescope. In The Little Book of Exoplanets, Princeton astrophysicist Joshua Winn offers a brief and engaging introduction to the search for exoplanets and the cutting-edge science behind recent findings. In doing so, he chronicles the dawn of a new age of discovery-one that has rapidly transformed astronomy and our broader understanding of the universe. Scientists now know that many Sun-like stars host their own systems of planets, some of which may resemble our solar system and include planets similar to the Earth. But, Winn tells us, the most remarkable discoveries so far have been of planets with unexpected and decidedly un-Earth-like properties, which have upended what we thought we knew about the origins of planetary systems. Winn provides an inside view of the sophisticated detective work astronomers perform as they find and study exoplanets and describes the surprising-sometimes downright bizarre-planets and systems they have found. He explains how these discoveries are revolutionizing astronomy, and he explores the current status and possible future of the search for another Earth. Finally, drawing on his own and other scientists' work, he considers how the discovery of exoplanets and their faraway solar systems changes our perspectives on the universe and our place in it"--

A GUIDE TO USING THE SCIENCE OF THE BODY CLOCK TO CREATE THE OPTIMUM PERSONAL ROUTINE. SLEEP BETTER, WORK BETTER, FEEL BETTER.'A superlative guide to some of the most intriguing questions of human existence' Bill BrysonIn the twenty-first century, we increasingly push our daily routines into the night, carrying out work, exercise and our social lives long after dark. But we have forgotten that our bodies are governed by a 24-hour biological clock which guides us towards the best time to sleep, eat and think. New science has proven that living out of sync with this clock is not only disrupting our sleep, but leaving us more vulnerable to infection, cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and mental illness.In Life Time, Professor Russell Foster shares his life's work, taking us on a fascinating and surprising journey through the science of our body clocks. Using his own studies, as well as insights from an international community of sleep scientists and biologists studying circadian rhythms, he illustrates the surprising effects the time of day can have on our health:- how a walk outside at dawn can ensure a better night's sleep- how eating after sundown can affect our weight- the extraordinary effects the time we take our medication can have on our risk of life-threatening conditions, such as strokesIn the modern world, we have neglected an essential part of our biology. But with knowledge of this astonishing science, we can get back into the rhythm, and live healthier, sharper lives.

How sound leaves a fundamental imprint on who we are.Making sense of sound is one of the hardest jobs we ask our brains to do. In Of Sound Mind, Nina Kraus examines the partnership of sound and brain, showing for the first time that the processing of sound drives many of the brain's core functions. Our hearing is always on--we can't close our ears the way we close our eyes--and yet we can ignore sounds that are unimportant. We don't just hear; we engage with sounds. Kraus explores what goes on in our brains when we hear a word--or a chord, or a meow, or a screech. Our hearing brain, Kraus tells us, is vast. It interacts with what we know, with our emotions, with how we think, with our movements, and with our other senses. Auditory neurons make calculations at one-thousandth of a second; hearing is the speediest of our senses. Sound plays an unrecognized role in both healthy and hurting brains. Kraus explores the power of music for healing as well as the destructive power of noise on the nervous system. She traces what happens in the brain when we speak another language, have a language disorder, experience rhythm, listen to birdsong, or suffer a concussion. Kraus shows how our engagement with sound leaves a fundamental imprint on who we are. The sounds of our lives shape our brains, for better and for worse, and help us build the sonic world we live in.

"Cruel tyrant Taxian-jun killed his way to the throne and now reigns as the first ever emperor of the mortal realm. Yet somehow, he is unsatisfied. Left cold and bereft, abandoned by all he held dear, he takes his own life...only to be reborn anew. Awakening in the body of his younger self-Mo Ran, a disciple of the cultivation sect Sisheng Peak-he discovers the chance to relive his life. This time, he vows to attain the gratification that once eluded him: all who defied him will fall, and never again will they treat him like a dog. His greatest fury is reserved for Chu Wanning, the coldly beautiful and aloofly catlike cultivation teacher who betrayed and thwarted Mo Ran time and again in their last life. Yet as Mo Ran shamelessly pursues his own goals in this life he thought lost, he begins to wonder if there might be more to his teacher-and his own feelings-than he ever realized."--

A new dawn of brain tracking and hacking is coming. Will you be prepared for what comes next?Imagine a world where your brain can be interrogated to learn your political beliefs, your thoughts can be used as evidence of a crime, and your own feelings can be held against you. A world where people who suffer from epilepsy receive alerts moments before a seizure, and the average person can peer into their own mind to eliminate painful memories or cure addictions.Neuroscience has already made all of this possible today, and neurotechnology will soon become the "universal controller" for all of our interactions with technology. This can benefit humanity immensely, but without safeguards, it can seriously threaten our fundamental human rights to privacy, freedom of thought, and self-determination.From one of the world's foremost experts on the ethics of neuroscience, The Battle for Your Brain offers a path forward to navigate the complex legal and ethical dilemmas that will fundamentally impact our freedom to understand, shape, and define ourselves.

Fodbold er ofte andet og mere end den kamp, der udspiller sig på banen. Nogle gange gemmer der sig en anden historie i historien om den gode kamp. Per Høyer Hansen tager os med til 22 fodboldkampe verden over, hvor det politiske, økonomiske, sociale, religiøse og psykologiske aspekt har spillet en rolle. Det begynder i Paris i 1975, hvor de første hooligans dukker op til Europa Cup-finalen mellem Bayern München og Leeds United, og derefter skal vi til Montréal, Asunción, Lusaka, Buenos Aires, Valletta, Næstved, Hong Kong, Barcelona, London, Elbasan, Bruxelles, Nezahualcoyótl, Berlin, Sydney, Singapore, Port-of-Spain, Landskrona, Santiago, Gentofte, Dakar og Göteborg.Gateway /title /head body center h1 502 Bad Gateway /h1 /center /body /htmlPer Høyer Hansen (1941-2001) var en dansk sportsjournalist, hvis hovedinteresse lå indenfor fodboldsporten.

Gennem de sidste årtier er idrætten fra politisk hold blevet tildelt stadig flere funktioner som middel til fx sundhedsfremme, bekæmpelse af overvægt samt kønslig, social og etnisk integration.Denne antologi undersøger, hvordan etniske minoritetsgrupper i det danske samfund har brugt idrætten som løftestang for deres identitetsarbejde, og hvordan den danske stat, regioner og kommuner forsøger at løse samfundsopgaver ved at bruge idrætten til etnisk integration.Den danske idrætsmodel er traditionelt baseret på idræt i lokale foreninger med krav om kontingentbetaling, forældreengagement og relativt uniform idrætspåklædning samt faste mødetidspunkter, opdeling i hold ud fra alders- og færdighedskriterier, deltagelse i foreningsdemokrati og fælles badning efter endt holdundervisning. Hvad der virker som helt naturligt for en dansker med generationslange aner i landet, kan af tilflyttere opleves som fremmede, mærkværdige og rigoristiske krav.Den første del af antologien beskriver og nuancerer den historiske og politiske udvikling, der danner baggrund for, at dansk idræt i dag fremstår som en vigtig integrationsarena. Den anden del problematiserer fodbold og kampsport som særlige idrætsgrene, der kan fremme etniske minoriteters integration, mens antologiens sidste del beskriver, hvordan den aktuelle politiske opmærksomhed og støtte til idræt som integration bidrager til kategorisering og forsimpling af opfattelsen af etniske minoriteter.Antologiens artikler anlægger i særlig grad historiske, kulturanalytiske og sociologiske perspektiver på den etniske integration gennem idræt.Bidragydere:Hans Bonde, Jørn Hansen, Sine Agergaard, Martin Treumer Gregersen, Lian Malai Madsen, Glen Nielsen, Gertrud Pfister, İlknur Hacısoftaoğlu og Annette Michelsen la Cour.Sine Agergaard, lektor, Sektion for Idræt, Institut for Folkesundhed, Aarhus UniversitetHans Bonde, professor, Institut for Idræt, Københavns Universitet

Denne bog tager udgangspunkt i en særlig, pædagogisk tænkning om børns læring, udvikling og trivsel. Denne tænkning kan både pædagoger og lærere drage nytte af i forbindelse med implementeringen af folkeskolereformen.Folkeskoleområdet står over for en omvæltning i forhold til, hvordan danske skolebørn skal lære, udvikle sig og trives. Den seneste folkeskolereform lægger øget vægt på fysisk aktivitet gennem flere idrætstimer, og bevægelse indgår tillige i læreprocesserne gennem hele skole- og SFO-dagen.Bogen giver læseren en detaljeret beskrivelse af begrebet Pædagogisk idræt og den teoretiske ramme, der danner grundlag for metoden, herunder hvorfor denne pædagogiske tænkning har stor værdi for barnets almene kompetenceudvikling. Bogen giver talrige og konkrete forslag til den praktiske anvendelse af Pædagogisk idræt. Det sker både i forhold til nye og traditionelle bevægelsesaktiviteter med fokus på læring. Bogen rummer således oplæg til, hvordan pædagoger og lærere kan give aktiviteterne et twist og derved understøtte børns læring, udvikling og trivsel.Undervejs i bogen understøttes pointer, dagligdagseksempler og praktiske erfaringer med pædagogisk idræt af hjerneforsker Ann E. Knudsen og hendes erfaringer og forskningsresultater inden for dette vigtige område.Pædagogisk idræt - Læring og bevægelse i skole og fritid henvender sig til alle, der arbejder med læring og bevægelsesaktiviteter inden for skoleområdet, samt til studerende ved professionshøjskoler og efter- og videreuddannelse.

Bogen tager læseren med ind i en af verdens hurtigst voksende sportsgrene; kvindefodbold. Forfatterne - sportsjournalist Tina Müller og kvindefodboldekspert Amalie Bremer - kårer de bedste spillere, fortæller om de største legender, de mest markante klubber og genopliver kvindefodboldhistoriens vildeste øjeblikke, som fx da Danmark vandt VM-finalen i Mexico i 1971 foran 115.000 tilskuere på Estadio Azteca. Ofte har disse kvindelige spillere ikke bare kæmpet for dem selv på banen, men har også uden for banen taget kampe, der har været med til at bringe pige- og kvindefodbolden derhen, hvor den er i dag.

"A wide-ranging intellectual history that reveals how important games have been to human progress, and what's at stake when we forget what games we're really playing. We play games to learn about the world, to understand our minds and the minds of others, and to make predictions about the future. Games are an essential aspect of humanity and a powerful tool for modeling reality. They're also a lot of fun. But games can be dangerous, especially when we mistake the model worlds of games for reality itself and let gamification co-opt human decision making. Playing with Reality explores the riveting history of games since the Enlightenment, weaving an unexpected path through military theory, political science, evolutionary biology, the development of computers and AI, cutting-edge neuroscience, and cognitive psychology. Neuroscientist and physicist Kelly Clancy shows how intertwined games have been with the arc of history. War games shaped the outcomes of real wars in nineteenth and twentieth century Europe. Game theory warped our understanding of human behavior and brought us to the brink of annihilation-yet still underlies basic assumptions in economics, politics, and technology design. We used games to teach computers how to learn for themselves, and now we are designing games that will determine the shape of society and future of democracy. In this revelatory new work, Clancy makes the bold argument that the human fascination with games is the key to understanding our nature and our actions"--
