Ler por prazer é um importante antídoto contra o surgimento do "cretino digital". Centenas de estudos mostram que essa prática traz enormes benefícios para a linguagem, os conhecimentos gerais, a criatividade, a atenço, as competencias de escrita, as competencias de expresso oral, a compreenso dos outros e de si mesmo, e a empatia, com um impacto consideravel no sucesso academico e profissional. Nenhum outro hobby oferece tantas vantagens. Atraves da leitura, as crianças nutrem os tres pilares fundamentais da sua humanidade: competencias intelectuais, competencias emocionais e competencias sociais.Michel Desmurget mostra que nossos filhos leem cada vez menos, rejeitando a ideia de que as crianças em idade escolar aprendem a ler quando conseguem decifrar letras, e nos lembra que ler e compreender. Examina os fundamentos dessa compreenso e identifica as alavancas que permitem aos pais encorajar e manter o gosto pela leitura nos seus filhos.Por fim, sem negar o papel da escola, defende que a instituiço de ensino nunca podera compensar um ambiente familiar insuficientemente estimulante. Essa sintese de interesse geral fornece informaçes essenciais, principalmente aos pais, sem nunca os fazer sentir culpados. Fascinante e poderosamente benefico!"Esta obra faz o resgate da importancia daquilo que e realmente essencial para o desenvolvimento de crianças e adolescentes. No se trata de uma simples apologia da importancia da leitura, mas de um mergulho naquilo que o mundo da ciencia nos mostra sobre o que o nosso cerebro requer para se desenvolver melhor. Diante de um mundo cada vez mais complexo, competitivo, exigente, acelerado e conectado, e fundamental aprendermos a aprender a viver."Leo Fraiman

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical and mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla studied engineering and physics in the 1870s, gaining practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. In 1884 he emigrated to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen.Throughout the 1890s, Tesla pursued his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado Springs. In 1893, he made pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communication with his devices. Tesla tried to put these ideas to practical use in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project, an intercontinental wireless communication and power transmitter, but ran out of funding before he could complete it.On January 7 1943, at the age of 86, Tesla died alone in Room 3327 of the Hotel New Yorker, in the neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. His body was found by maid Alice Monaghan when she entered Teslas room, ignoring the do not disturb sign that Tesla had placed on his door two days earlier. Assistant medical examiner H.W. Wembley examined the body and ruled that the cause of death had been coronary thrombosis (a type of heart attack).Two days later the Federal Bureau of Investigation ordered the property custodian to seize Teslas belongings. John G. Trump, a professor at M.I.T. and a well-known electrical engineer serving as a technical aide to the National Defense Research Committee, was called in to analyze the Tesla items. After a three-day investigation, Trumps report concluded that there was nothing which would constitute a hazard in unfriendly hands, stating: His thoughts and efforts during at least the past 15 years were primarily of a speculative, philosophical, and somewhat promotional character often concerned with the production and wireless transmission of power; but did not include new, sound, workable principles or methods for realizing such results.This is the official version, which has been disseminated to the mass media and public opinion. A version that many have never believed.Teslas work fell into relative obscurity following his death, until 1960, when the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the International System of Units (SI) measurement of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor. There has been a resurgence in popular interest in Tesla since the 1990s.Beyond these brief biographical information, we can say that Nikola Tesla was an extraordinary scientific genius, a precursor, a modern Leonardo Da Vinci. Many argue that a large part of his inventions have been classified by the US government for understandable economic and military reasons.The name of Nikola Tesla has now entered into legend and has become synonymous with scientific revolution, free energy and future.My Inventions, first published in 1919 in the Electrical Experimenter Magazine, is the Nikola Teslas autobiography.

Quando pensiamo alle forze che hanno dato vita al cancro non pensiamo allevoluzione. In realta le due cose sono strettamente connesse: il processo storico che ha creato la vita e il medesimo che crea il cancro. Questo saggio torna indietro a milioni di anni fa, al momento in cui le forme unicellulari diventarono organismi multicellulari, e fra quei corpi di cellule cooperanti emersero quelle che utilizzavano troppe risorse e si replicavano senza controllo. Lautrice mostra quanto levoluzione abbia spianato il campo per lubiquita del cancro, e perche continuera a esistere finche esistera la vita multicellulare. Tuttavia questo non significa che dobbiamo rinunciare a curarlo, anzi: lapproccio evoluzionistico puo offrire nuove e promettenti opzioni per la prevenzione e i trattamenti della malattia. Grazie a una panoramica interspecie stiamo scoprendo nuovi meccanismi per la soppressione dei tumori, e i molti modi in cui le forme di vita si sono evolute per tenere il cancro sotto controllo. Accettando il fatto che il cancro e parte del nostro presente, passato e futuro biologico, e che non possiamo vincere una guerra contro levoluzione, le cure possono diventare piu intelligenti, piu strategiche, piu umane.
