What happens in our brains to make us feel fear, love, hate, anger, joy? do we control our emotions, or do they control us? Do animals have emotions? How can traumatic experiences in early childhood influence adult behavior, even though we have no conscious memory of them? In The Emotional Brain, Joseph LeDoux investigates the origins of human emotions and explains that many ex...(展开全部)

The Emotional Brain provides a cutting-edge scientific background to such books as Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, showing that while cognitive studies have tended to ignore the emotions, we are increasingly understanding how crucial they are to our evolutionary survival, as shortcuts to cut through conscious reasoning when speed and rules-of-thumb are more important a...(展开全部)

★国家公共广播电台年度图书之一 由我们杰出的医学史学家之一撰写的揭开DNA结构的竞赛的专业性历史。 詹姆斯·沃森和弗朗西斯-克里克于1953年发现了DNA的双螺旋结构，这是我们对遗传学和分子生物学的现代理解中几乎所有进步的基础。但沃森和克里克是如何做到这一点的--为什么他们是成功者？ 事实上，DNA结构的发现是五个追求科学进步的杰出人物的故事，对他们中的几乎所有人来说，都是追求名利和不朽的前景： 沃森、克里克、罗莎琳-富兰克林、莫里斯-威尔金斯和莱纳斯-鲍林。他们每个人都很有魅力和才华，具有强烈的个性，经常发生冲突。霍华德-马克尔巧妙地再现了激烈的智力旅程和充满矛盾的个人关系，导致了惊人的突破。但是，罗莎琳-富兰克林——在20世纪50年代的剑桥和伦敦大学，作为年轻的男性科学家中的犹太女性，她是一个坚定的、无情的、局外人——成为马可的焦点。 《生命的秘...(展开全部)

An authoritative history of the race to unravel DNA’s structure, by one of our most prominent medical historians. James Watson and Francis Crick’s 1953 discovery of the double helix structure of DNA is the foundation of virtually every advance in our modern understanding of genetics and molecular biology. But how did Watson and Crick do it―and why were they the ones who succeed...(展开全部)
