Neurobiology of Chemical Communication
Intraspecific communication involves the activation of chemoreceptors and subsequent activation of different central areas that coordinate the responses of the entire organism—ranging from behavioral modification to modulation of hormones release. Animals emit intraspecific chemical signals, often referred to as pheromones, to advertise their presence to members of the same species and to regulate interactions aimed at establishing and regulating social and reproductive bonds. In the last two decades, scientists have developed a greater understanding of the neural processing of these chemical signals. Neurobiology of Chemical Communication explores the role of the chemical senses in mediat...
The Neurobiology of Olfaction
Comprehensive Overview of Advances in OlfactionThe common belief is that human smell perception is much reduced compared with other mammals, so that whatever abilities are uncovered and investigated in animal research would have little significance for humans. However, new evidence from a variety of sources indicates this traditional view is likely
The Theater of War
For years theater director Bryan Doerries has been producing ancient Greek tragedies for a wide range of at-risk people in society. His is the personal and deeply passionate story of a life devoted to reclaiming the timeless power of an ancient artistic tradition to comfort the afflicted. Doerries leads an innovative public health project—Theater of War—that produces ancient dramas for current and returned soldiers, people in recovery from alcohol and substance abuse, tornado and hurricane survivors, and more. Tracing a path that links the personal to the artistic to the social and back again, Doerries shows us how suffering and healing are part of a timeless process in which dialogue and empathy are inextricably linked. The originality and generosity of Doerries’s work is startling, and The Theater of War—wholly unsentimental, but intensely felt and emotionally engaging—is a humane, knowledgeable, and accessible book that will both inspire and enlighten.
Schockdiagnose ALS. Leben und Pflegen: Zwei Seiten einer unheilbaren Krankheit
Die Linkes, ein gerade frisch verliebtes Paar, sind erschüttert, als bei Burkhard die seltene Krankheit ALS (Amytrophe Lateralsklerose) diagnostiziert wird. Die Krankheit, an der auch der weltbekannte Physiker Stephen Hawking leidet, katapultiert sie mitten in den deutschen Medizindschungel. Trotz Ausschöpfung aller Behandlungsmöglichkeiten bleiben die schultherapeutischen Ansätze erfolglos. Das Ehepaar wagt einen letzten, wagemutigen Schritt. In Bangkok unterzieht Burkhard sich einer riskanten Stammzellentherapie – seine letzte Hoffnung auf Heilung. Auch wenn sich der prognostizierte Tod Burkhard Linkes nicht aufhalten lässt, so nimmt er bis heute doch, künstlich beatmet, aktiv am Leben teil – dank der häuslichen Pflege seiner Ehefrau. Die Geschichte der Linkes gibt auf selbstbewusste und humorvolle Art Einblicke in das Leben und die Pflege eines unheilbar Erkrankten und seiner Angehörigen.

The Psychological Basis of Perfumery
During the many years of its publication and subsequent revisions, Paul Jellinek's book has been the standard work on its subject. This new edition, translated into English for the first time, was conceived in response to the increased interest in recent years in perfumes and the sense of smell. This interest has come not only from within the highly competitive perfumery industry, but also from psychologists and market researchers. The original text has impressively withstood the test of time and the approach of this new book has been to supplement it with chapters that are now of critical importance, but which were only touched upon in the original book. A market researcher looks at why peo...
The Age of The Strongman
**AN ECONOMIST AND THE TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR** 'Essential and definitive' CATHERINE BELTON, author of PUTIN'S PEOPLE We are in a new era. From Trump, Putin and Bolsonaro to Erdogan, Xi and Modi, self-styled strongmen have become a central feature of global politics. At home, they claim to be standing up for ordinary people against 'globalist' elites; abroad, they posture as the embodiment of their nation. And everywhere they go, they encourage a cult of personality. How and why did this new style of authoritarian leadership arrive? How likely is it to lead the world into war and economic collapse? And what liberal forces are in place, not only to keep these strongmen in check but to reverse the trend? The Age of the Strongman explores these essential questions and offers a bold new portrait of our world. 'TIMELY, LASER-SHARP... A MUST-READ' PETER FRANKOPAN 'FORCEFUL...
