Hors du temps

Autor: Michel Siffre

Número de Páginas: 372

Le 16 juillet 1962, Michel Siffre spéléologue et géologue, lauréat de la Fondation de la Vocation, descendait dans le gouffre du Scarasson à cent trente mètres de profondeur, où loin de toute lumière solaire et par une température inférieure à zéro, il avait décidé de rester soixante jours. Soixante jours sans horloge : la notion de temps était abolie. Michel Siffre devait appeler la surface pour signaler le rythme de sa vie; ses correspondants enregistrèrent, sans lui donner d'informations, ses messages. L'expérience qui, sur le plan scientifique, a donné des résultats d'un intérêt particulier, a été troublée par le fait qu'outre les souffrances dues au froid, à la solitude, à l'obscurité, à l'humidité, des chutes de pierre mirent constamment les jours de l'explorateur en danger. Cependant, il ne fut jamais question de mettre fin à la tentative et c'est un être exténué qui revit le jour le 17 septembre. Il croyait être le 20 août. Il n'avait eu pour compagnon qu'une araignée.

Expériences hors du temps

Autor: Michel Siffre

Número de Páginas: 498

En 1962, à l'âge de vingt-trois ans, Michel Siffre a réalisé la première expérience de longue durée, de confinement hors du temps, en restant seul plus de deux mois au fond du gouffre de Scarasson. Par la suite, il a conçu et organisé dix autres expéditions en milieu souterrain. Son livre est le résumé détaillé de ces expériences. S'il s'agit d'aventures, dont le récit est passionnant, la science ne perd pas ses droits, bien au contraire : elle constitue la motivation principale des recherches, auxquelles se livrent les spéléonautes. L'auteur examine les contributions que les expériences hors du temps ont apportées à l'étude du sommeil, des rêves, des rythmes, biologiques humains, de l'influence de la lumière sur l'organisme, etc. Avec l'expérience de Josie Laurès, que nous suivons grâce à de nombreux extraits de son journal, il analyse les réactions de la femme à l'isolement. Il raconte ensuite comment et pourquoi la N.A.S.A. s'est intéressée à son travail. La haute portée scientifique de cet ouvrage, qui souligne les rapports existant entre l'activité des spéléonautes et celles des cosmonautes, en fait un document d'une actualité brûlante.

The Mathematical Structure of the Human Sleep-Wake Cycle

Autor: Steven H. Strogatz

Número de Páginas: 250

Over the past three years I have grown accustomed to the puzzled look which appears on people's faces when they hear that I am a mathematician who studies sleep. They wonder, but are usually too polite to ask, what does mathematics have to do with sleep? Instead they ask the questions that fascinate us all: Why do we have to sleep? How much sleep do we really need? Why do we dream? These questions usually spark a lively discussion leading to the exchange of anecdotes, last night's dreams, and other personal information. But they are questions about the func tion of sleep and, interesting as they are, I shall have little more to say about them here. The questions that have concerned me deal instead with the timing of sleep. For those of us on a regular schedule, questions of timing may seem vacuous. We go to bed at night and get up in the morning, going through a cycle of sleeping and waking every 24 hours. Yet to a large extent, the cycle is imposed by the world around us.

Transcendence

Autor: Gaia Vince

Número de Páginas: 337

* A TIMES BEST SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR * From the prize-winning author of Adventures in the Anthropocene, the astonishing story of how culture enabled us to become the most successful species on Earth 'A wondrous, visionary work' Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers Humans are a planet-altering force. Gaia Vince argues that our unique ability - compared with other species - to determine the course of our own destiny rests on a special relationship between our genes, environment and culture going back into deep time. It is our collective culture, rather than our individual intelligence, that makes humans unique. Vince shows how four evolutionary drivers - Fire, Language, Beauty and Time - are further transforming our species into a transcendent superorganism: a hyper-cooperative mass of humanity that she calls Homo omnis. Drawing on leading-edge advances in population genetics, archaeology, palaeontology and neuroscience, Transcendence compels us to reimagine ourselves, showing us to be on the brink of something grander - and potentially more destructive. 'Richly informed by the latest research, Gaia Vince's colourful survey fizzes like a zip-wire as it tours our species'...

Psychology: 50 Essential Ideas

Autor: Emily Ralls , Tom Collins

Número de Páginas: 335

How do we learn? What is memory? How do we know how to behave? The formal study of psychology as a scientific enterprise began in Germany in the late 19th century but the observation of human behaviour dates back to Ancient Greece. Defined as the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes, psychology has attained a range of branches including clinical, cognitive, developmental, evolutionary, forensic, health and neuropsychology. In a wide ranging, highly illustrated book, readers are introduced to the world of psychology and those who formed the science as we know it. With discussion of a number of key ideas including prejudice and discrimination, social cognition, how we develop attitudes and why and how we fall in love, as well as reference to the people who developed these ideas, the book is an accessible guide to this fascinating subject.

How to Sleep

Autor: Matthew Fuller

Número de Páginas: 193

Sleep is quite a popular activity, indeed most humans spend around a third of their lives asleep. However, cultural, political, or aesthetic thought tends to remain concerned with the interpretation and actions of those who are awake. How to Sleep argues instead that sleep is a complex vital phenomena with a dynamic aesthetic and biological consistency. Arguing through examples drawn from contemporary, modern and renaissance art; from literature; film and computational media, and bringing these into relation with the history and findings of sleep science, this book argues for a new interplay between biology and culture. Meditations on sex, exhaustion, drugs, hormones and scientific instruments all play their part in this wide-ranging exposition of sleep as an ecology of interacting processes. How to Sleep builds on the interlocking of theory, experience and experiment so that the text itself is a lively articulation of bodies, organs and the aesthetic systems that interact with them. This book won't enhance your sleeping skills, but will give you something surprising to think about whilst being ostensibly awake.

Drunk Tank Pink

Autor: Adam Alter

Número de Páginas: 193

'Drunk Tank Pink' is a particular shade of pink. In 1979 psychologists discovered that it has an extraordinary effect: if you stare at it for two minutes, you dramatically weaken in strength. In this brilliant study of the strange recesses of our minds, Adam Alter reveals the world is full of such hidden forces that shape our every thought, feeling and behaviour – without us ever realizing. Some letters in product names make us more likely to buy them (nearly all successful brands contain a 'k' sound) We're more likely to be critical if we write in red rather than green biro Your first report at school can determine your future career Understanding these cues is key to smarter decision-making, more effective marketing, and better outcomes for our selves and our societies. Prepare for the most astounding and fast-paced psychology book since Blink and Predictably Irrational.

The Universe Within

Autor: Neil Shubin

Número de Páginas: 241

**Kirkus Best Books of the Year (2013)** From one of our finest and most popular science writers, and the best-selling author of Your Inner Fish, comes the answer to a scientific mystery as big as the world itself: How are the events that formed our solar system billions of years ago embedded inside each of us? In Your Inner Fish, Neil Shubin delved into the amazing connections between human bodies—our hands, heads, and jaws—and the structures in fish and worms that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. In The Universe Within, with his trademark clarity and exuberance, Shubin takes an even more expansive approach to the question of why we look the way we do. Starting once again with fossils, he turns his gaze skyward, showing us how the entirety of the universe’s fourteen-billion-year history can be seen in our bodies. As he moves from our very molecular composition (a result of stellar events at the origin of our solar system) through the workings of our eyes, Shubin makes clear how the evolution of the cosmos has profoundly marked our own bodies.

Extreme

Autor: Emma Barrett , Paul Martin

Número de Páginas: 289

Why do some people risk their lives regularly by placing themselves in extreme and challenging situations? For some, such as astronauts, the extreme environments are part of the job. For others, they involve the thrill and competition of extreme sports, or the achievement of goals such as being the first to reach the South Pole or climb Everest. Whether for sport or employment, all these people have made the personal choice to put themselves in environments in which there is significant risk. What drives such people? And what skills and personality traits enable the best to succeed? What abilities are shared by the successful mountaineer, astronaut, caver, or long-distance solo sailer? And are there lessons the rest of us can learn from them? The psychology of those who have to cope with extreme conditions has been a matter of much research. It is important, for example to those planning manned space programmes or the makeup of teams who will spend months in an isolated or hostile environment such as Antarctica, to understand the psychological pressures involved, and to recognize those best equipped to handle them. In Extreme, Emma Barrett and Paul Martin explore the challenges...

Underground

Autor: Will Hunt

Número de Páginas: 290

“[A] winningly obsessive history of our relationship with underground places” (The Guardian), from sacred caves and derelict subway stations to nuclear bunkers and ancient underground cities—an exploration of the history, science, architecture, and mythology of the worlds beneath our feet NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR When Will Hunt was sixteen years old, he discovered an abandoned tunnel that ran beneath his house in Providence, Rhode Island. His first tunnel trips inspired a lifelong fascination with exploring underground worlds, from the derelict subway stations and sewers of New York City to sacred caves, catacombs, tombs, bunkers, and ancient underground cities in more than twenty countries around the world. Underground is both a personal exploration of Hunt’s obsession and a panoramic study of how we are all connected to the underground, how caves and other dark hollows have frightened and enchanted us through the ages. In a narrative spanning continents and epochs, Hunt follows a cast of subterraneaphiles who have dedicated themselves to investigating underground worlds. He tracks the origins of life with a team of NASA microbiologists a mile...

Retrouvez santé et minceur avec de très nombreuses recettes et propositions de menus végétariens et vegan. Nous sommes devenus des êtres hyperconnectés, nous allons vite, nous voyageons beaucoup, nous allongeons nos jours, nous diminuons nos nuits, nous culbutons les saisons, nous mangeons n'importe quoi n'importe quand...

Behaviour Analysis in Theory and Practice

Autor: Derek E. Blackman , Helga Lejeune

Número de Páginas: 379

This edited book addresses four themes of contemporary importance in the experimental and applied analysis of behaviour: chronobiology (relationships between time and behaviour), the emergence of rational thinking, language, and behavioural medicine. The current empirical and theoretical status of each theme is considered in individual chapters, the authors of which are distinguished research scientists drawn from a wide range of scholarship and with a distinctive European dimension. This cultural and theoretical diversity emerges from the fact that each chapter is developed from a paper originally presented by invitation at the Second European Meeting on the Experimental Analysis of Behaviour, which was held in Liège, Belgium in 1988. Within the four themes, individual topics address issues such as circadian rhythms in behaviour, temporal regulation in children and in animals, the emergence of equivalence relations in children and animals, the development of thinking in mentally retarded children, reasoning and associative learning in animals, rule?governed behaviour, theoretical issues relating language to the theory of mind, the relationship between behavioural and visceral...
