Something Deeply Hidden

From the Royal Society Winton Prize winner'An authoritative and beautifully written account of the quest to understand quantum theory and the origin of space and time.' Professor Brian Cox Quantum physics is not mystifying. The implications are mind-bending, and not yet fully understood, but this revolutionary theory is truly illuminating. It stands as the best explanation of the fundamental nature of our world.Spanning the history of quantum discoveries, from Einstein and Bohr to the present day, Something Deeply Hidden is the essential guide to the most intriguing subject in science. Acclaimed physicist and writer Sean Carroll debunks the myths, resurrects and reinstates the Many-Worlds interpretation, and presents a new path towards solving the apparent conflict between quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of general relativity. In doing so, he fills a gap in the science that has existed for almost a century.A magisterial tour, Something Deeply Hidden encompasses the cosmological and everyday implications of quantum reality and multiple universes. And - finally - it all makes sense.

Witboy in Berlin: Adventures in the First World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 338min

When opportunity strikes, television producer Deon Maas joins the boatloads of migrants heading for Germany. Faced with the choice of taking all his possessions along or selling everything, he opts for the latter. With a rucksack and his four dogs, he departs for the First World. Decadent Berlin blows his mind but also leaves him at a loss for words. As he crisscrosses the city, scratching at its pulsating underbelly, he marvels at German idiosyncrasies, and is roped into this new world by an array of vegan anarchists, eclectic musicians, football hooligans and graffiti artists. While settling in, he has to deal with everything from obnoxious bureaucrats to nosy neighbours. In the process, Maas debunks a few myths about the First World: it’s not a perfect place where everything works, and German efficiency is definitely overrated.By confronting the loss of his support network and adapting to a different political and social context, he learns exactly how deep his African roots go. ungekürzt.

Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 595min

Robert Lustig’s 90-minute YouTube video Sugar: The Bitter Truth has been viewed more than two million times. Now, in this much anticipated book, he documents the science and the politics that has led to the pandemic of chronic disease over the last 30 years. In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control. To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress; and societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. Compelling, controversial, and completely based in science, Fat Chance debunks the widely held notion to prove "a calorie is NOT a calorie", and takes that science to its logical conclusion to improve health worldwide. ungekürzt.

A Macat Analysis of Elaine Tyler May's Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min

After World War II ended in 1945, the Soviet Union and the United States began a decades-long confrontation that would become known as the Cold War. American foreign policy focused on "containment" - preventing the communist USSR from gaining more ground - and many people looked at the geographical and political implications of this policy. Others, meanwhile, explored American domestic life in that same period. But historian Elaine Tyler May became the first person to bring these seemingly unrelated areas together. Piecing together evidence from a wide range of sources - data, surveys, examinations of leisure activities, and lifestyles as depicted by the media - 1988's Homeward Bound draws a convincing picture of how US culture in the 1950s did the job of containing and constraining its own people, particularly women. This groundbreaking work debunks many of the ideas that have grown up about 1950s culture, and is still an important text nearly three decades after it was first published. ungekürzt.
