Все мы сталкивались с физическими травмами и имеем о них представление. А что мы знаем о психологических? Ведь, как бы банально это ни звучало, зачастую моральная травма накладывает больший отпечаток на нашу жизнь, чем рана на теле. Порез – быстро затянется, перелом – срастется, а вот как проявит себя психологическая травма в сознательном возрасте, каким образом она способна помешать нормальной жизни и что с этим можно сделать? Доктор Бессел ван дер Колк, один из самых известных в мире...

Дарвин произвел фурор, доказав, что основа эволюции – это естественный отбор. Его открытие было действительно фундаментальным и повлияло на будущее всей науки. Как Дарвин разрабатывал теорию эволюции и как добился признания своей правоты? В этой книге мы кратко и понятно расскажем о самых важных идеях теории эволюции и о жизни ее создателя – Чарльза Дарвина.

В 1860-х годах австрийский монах-августинец увлекся изучением гибридизации растений и стал проводить опыты на горохе. Результатом этих исследований стали знаменитые законы Менделя, определившие вектор развития биологии, а чуть позже и генетики. Несколькими десятилетиями позже поклонник евгеники (кстати именно он предложил использовать этот термин) Ф. Гальтон решил изучить принципы наследственности у людей. Работы Г. Менделя и Ф. Гальтона рассказали миру о том, что представляет из себя загадочная...

Its primary purpose is to interest the little child in, and to make him acquainted with, those feathered friends...

In this highly readable study, one of the great pioneers of modern science examines how people and animals display varieties of emotions via their facial expressions. British naturalist Charles Darwin–who expounded the theory of evolution by natural selection, the principle that launched a scientific revolution—based this survey on his personal observations. Most of his findings were proven by later research, and today's behavioral scientists continue to draw upon this work for...
