This is the most unique quiz show ever! Brian Brain's quizzes can be enjoyed by the whole family. Why? Because there are always two sets of questions: one for the younger members of the family (the Budding Brains) and one for the grown-ups (the Boffs).

Bastian is not your regular run-off the mill doctor. He is smart as a whip, deeply intuitive, and equipped with an incisive mind that questions the different mental ailments that assail humans.

With this mighty little audio tome, you can have the next best thing - because Brain Trust is packed with bite-sized scientific wisdom on everyday challenges....

When it came to hunting vampires, I was second to none. Vampires are intelligent. It also means they have predictable patterns. Figure out their habits and I could take care of most vamps and be back in time for breakfast. They’re also image-conscious. But zombies are unpredictable. They run on pure instinct. They couldn’t care less about public relations. Since I’m an elemental, they can’t smell me. It gives me an advantage that human hunters don’t have. But will it be enough? If I can’t stop them, it will mean the end of humanity, the end of the world as we know it.

Wie entsteht eigentlich Intelligenz? Eine Kernfrage, auf die die moderne Hirnforschung bis heute keine befriedigende Antwort geben kann. Für den Neurowissenschaftler Jeff Hawkins ist der Grund offensichtlich: Weil wir ein falsches Bild von der Funktionsweise des menschlichen Gehirns haben. Deshalb verfolgt er in "A Thousand Brains" auch einen radikal neuen Ansatz, indem die hartnäckigsten Probleme der Neurowissenschaften neu bewertet und spannende Antworten auf die wichtigsten Fragen gibt.

Lucifer has been expelled to a place worse than Hell...Tucson, Arizona. After a flubbed attempt to overthrow Heaven, Lucifer (Lucious to his friends) is dumped on Earth—the one place he can die. Without options, he does the unthinkable and realigns with his old nemesis, God, for a shot at payback on those who betrayed him. But there is a price.
