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.

Eat More Plants. A Chef's Journal is a collection of Daniel Humm's drawings and handwritten thoughts charting the re-imagination of his acclaimed three-Michelin-Star restaurant Eleven Madison Park as wholly plant-based in 2021. Shaped by the seasonality underlying Humm's cooking, the book is structured into a section each for spring, summer, fall and winter. His drawings are spontaneous and painterly, celebrating the bounty of predominantly local fruits and vegetables that inspires his creations-from familiar characters such as the carrot and cherry to the more exotic elderflower and matsutake mushroom. On the back of the drawings Humm has written notes on the ideas, beliefs and uncertainties behind his decision to re-invent (and risk) the 25-year story of Eleven Madison Park: "Our cooking should not conform to society, it should be a resolution / Most days we see endless possibility, some days fear clouds our vision / This isn't just an artistic experiment, it's our livelihood." The result is a revealing visual diary of a chef dedicated to pro-planet values as the basis of fine dining, and the liberating realization that following traditions had been his greatest limitation.

Could the diet of our ancestors prevent, treat, and reverse most cases of overweight, coronary heart disease (CHD), cancer, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and autoimmune disease, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis, as well as most other chronic, degenerative diseases? And is this a diet plan that is simple, effective, and allows one to eat to their heart's content? The simple answers are yes, and yes! This book presents a vast body of published and original research that results in profound conclusions: Overweight, obesity, and most all chronic diseases can be prevented simply by the elimination of processed foods and vegetable oils from the diet. And while the science and evidence presented are immense, the tenets of the authors' advice are deceptively simple. We can prevent and reverse most chronic diseases by eliminating the major processed food components - including refined flour, sugars, and most vegetable oils. Simultaneously, excess weight drops effortlessly, and energy increases, while fatigue, brain fog, and a myriad of other mysterious symptoms generally disappear. The effects of aging are obviously delayed. Most people are shocked at their results, including the authors. And what is the single most important component of an ancestral diet? The answer is as simple as the elimination of vegetable oils - oils that are extremely high in omega-6 fats - which are highly pro-oxidative, pro-inflammatory, toxic, and nutrient deficient. Come witness for yourself... the evidence is beyond compelling... it even meets the Bradford Hill criteria of 'proof,' as the authors have clearly demonstrated.

Dieses nach Sichtung Tausender von Werbeanzeigen sorgfältig zusammengestellte Buch präsentiert die Krönung der amerikanischen Printwerbung im Zeitalter der "Big Idea". Die bunten und originellen Kampagnen malen ein faszinierendes Bild der 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre und dokumentieren, wie die Angst vor dem Kalten Krieg immer mehr dem sorgenfreien Kapitalismus der Mad-Men-Ära wich, in der hemmungslos gequalmt und gesoffen wurde. Die Bilder, die digital überarbeitet wurden, um eine optimale Reproduktionsqualität zu erzielen, sind von einer bestechenden Schärfe und Farbintensität. Sie brachten einst ihr Zielpublikum mit der Verlockung ungeahnter Möglichkeiten dazu, alles nur Erdenkliche zu kaufen - von Hüfthaltern bis Handfeuerwaffen, Autos bis Zahnpasta, Flugreisen bis Küchengeräten. Dieses mal schockierende, mal amüsante und inspirierende Panorama eines vergangenen Marketing-Milieus ist zugleich Zeitdokument und Referenzwerk für innovatives Design und witzige Werbung.

Kaum eine Künstlerin stieg so kometenhaft in der Kunstgeschichte auf wie die mexikanische Malerin Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). Ihr unverwechselbares Antlitz hielt sie in über fünfzig außergewöhnlichen Selbstporträts fest, die seit Generationen bewundert werden. Diese Werke und zahlreiche Aufnahmen namhafter Fotokünstler wie Manuel und Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray und Martin Munkácsi machten Frida Kahlo zu einer Ikone der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nach einem Unfall in ihrer frühen Jugend entschied sich Frida, Malerin zu werden. Ihre Heirat mit Diego Rivera im Jahr 1929 katapultierte sie an die Spitze der Kunstszene, nicht nur in Mexiko, sondern auch in den Vereinigten Staaten und in Europa. Kein geringerer als André Breton lobte ihr Werk und nahm die Malerin in den internationalen Kreis der Surrealisten auf . 1939 stellte er ihre Arbeiten in Paris aus, wo Picasso, Kandinsky und Duchamp sie bewunderten. Dieser Band bietet Gelegenheit, Frida Kahlos Gemälden nahe wie nie zuvor zu kommen - in brillanten Reproduktionen und im Zusammenspiel mit berühmten Fotografien. Das Buch präsentiert Werke aus Privatsammlungen, die für die breite Öffentlichkeit schwer zugänglich sind, und zeigt Arbeiten, die bislang als verschollen galten oder seit mehr als 80 Jahren nicht mehr ausgestellt waren . Zeichnungen, Tagebuchseiten sowie eine umfangreich illustrierte Biografie mit Fotos von Frida, Diego und der Casa Azul - ihrem Zuhause - erlauben einen intimen Einblick in Frida Kahlos Leben und ihr künstlerisches Universum .
