Cum funcționează mintea noastră? De ce facem unele alegeri și nu altele? Ce rol are plictiseala? Este moralitatea înnăscută, sau este nevoie să o învățăm? Cât de mult corupe puterea? Câștigul la loterie aduce fericirea? Dar zâmbetul? Sunt întrebări pe care fiecare dintre noi și le-a pus la un moment dat, dar cărora psihologii le-au dat un răspuns fundamentat științific. În 15 minute psiholog este o lectură ușoară și plăcută, care te introduce în lumea fascinantă a psihicului uman, așa cum este ea văzută și descifrată de specialiști. Prin această carte, autoarea realizează un parcurs captivant, reușind să prezinte studii și teorii științifice într-o manieră antrenantă și marcată de umor. Bogatul său conținut informațional este atent structurat și însoțit de numeroase imagini atractive, care au darul de a te ajuta să-l reții mai ușor. Când Albert Einstein a murit, în 1955, creierul lui a fost scos, examinat, fotografiat și conservat, dispărând timp de douăzeci de ani, până în 1978, când a fost redescoperit. A fost tăiat în 240 de bucăți pentru examinare microscopică, ceea ce a însemnat o pacoste pentru cercetările ulterioare. Nu există nicio deosebire de mărime între creierul lui Einstein și un creier „normal". Sunt însă deosebiri structurale. Lobul parietal inferior al creierului lui Einstein era cu 15% mai bine dezvoltat decât la alții [...] existau, de asemenea, mai multe conexiuni între părțile creierului său decât sunt în mod obișnuit. Anne Rooney I-ai administra șocuri electrice altei persoane, care nu e vinovată de nicio crimă, doar pentru că așa îți spune cineva să faci? Nu? Ești sigur? Suntem cu mult mai slabi în fața autorității decât ne-ar plăcea să credem. Stanley Milgram, un psiholog de la Universitatea Yale, a fost interesat de disculparea invocată de mulți foști naziști, care au susținut că ei doar s-au supus ordinelor. Psihologul a fost curios să vadă până unde ar merge oamenii supunându-se ordinelor. Așadar, s-a decis să afle.

"Great advances in human history have often rested on and prompted progress in chemistry. The exploitation of fire, the development of pigments, and the discovery that metals could be smelted and worked laid the foundations of civilization. The search for better tools and weapons drove metallurgy, and the need for medicines and perfumes lay behind the first laboratories. This book traces a story of exploration and discovery, from the earliest applications of chemistry by our ancient forebears. For more than 1,000 years, alchemists pursued the transformation of matter until the advent of modern chemistry in the 17th century set us on the path to the complex science of today. Topics include: prechemistry since prehistory; alchemy and the transmutation of metals; the rise of the scientific method; identifying the chemical elements; understanding gases; the nature of the atom; organic chemistry; chemical analysis."--Publisher description.
