Psychology Philosophy

Les écrans, la peur du risque, la diminution des espaces verts... Nos enfants, qu'ils résident en ville ou à la campagne, sont toujours plus coupés de la nature. Pour cause : en France, celle-ci n'est pas pensée comme prioritaire dans l'éducation. Partout dans le monde, des chercheurs affirment pourtant le contraire. L'accès régulier à la nature pourrait bien être une réponse à la situation alarmante que nous traversons, au mal-être infantile qui augmente, au niveau des enfants qui baisse, notamment en lecture, et aux capacités de concentration qui déclinent.

Throughout history society has determined specific rules of engagement between adversaries in armed conflict. With advances in technology, from armor to in the Middle Ages to nerve gas in World War I to weapons of mass destruction in our own time, the rules have constantly evolved. Today, when killing the enemy can seem palpably risk-free and tantamount to playing a violent video game, what constitutes warfare? What is the effect of remote combat on individual soldiers? And what are the unforeseen repercussions that could affect us all?

Inspire is a book about powerful forces that when applied in the classroom naturally cause students to want to listen, learn, and behave.

The Superluminal Universe reveals, for the first time in English, the incredible insights of French quantum physicist Professor Regis Dutheil. Thanks to the development of particle accelerators, physicists are now able to propel particles (tachyons) at a speed close to that of light (300,000 km per second). At these extreme speeds, the laws that govern our universe no longer apply. Professor Dutheil's work has shown that the theory of relativity is not incompatible with that of tachyons, provided that we allow for the possibility of a double reality.

In 1980, Ronald Reagan created one of the dumbest talking points of all time: "I'm not a scientist, but..." Since then, politicians have repeatedly committed egregious transgressions against scientific knowledge prefaced by this seemingly innocuous phrase. Yet, as science journalist Dave Levitan reveals, that line is just the tip of the melting iceberg when it comes to rhetorical tools wielded to attack scientific findings that don't cooperate with political agendas.

Aquí hay un extracto del Estoicismo Y La Fortaleza Mental: durante la antigüedad surgieron una gran cantidad de escuelas filosóficas, muchas de ellas contribuyeron con grandes ideas de progreso para la humanidad con un impacto tan relevante que incluso hoy en día muchos de esos pensamientos siguen siendo válidos.
