Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: From the author of the New York Times bestseller Mind Wide Open comes a groundbreaking assessment of popular culture as it's never been considered before: through the lens of intelligence. The $10 billion video gaming industry is now the second-largest segment of the entertainment industry in the United States, outstripping film and far surpassing books. Reality television shows featuring silicone-stuffed CEO wannabes and bug-eating adrenaline junkies dominate the ratings. But prominent social and cultural critic Steven Johnson argues that our popular culture has never been smarter. Drawing from fields as diverse as neuroscience, economics, and literary theory, Johnson argues that the junk culture we're so eager to dismiss is in fact making us more intelligent. A video game will never be a book, Johnson acknowledges, nor should it aspire to be-and, in fact, video games, from Tetris to The Sims to Grand Theft Auto, have been shown to raise IQ scores and develop cognitive abilities that can't be learned from books. Likewise, successful television, when examined closely and taken seriously, reveals surprising narrative sophistication and intellectual demands. Startling, provocative, and endlessly engaging, Everything Bad Is Good for You is a hopeful and spirited account of contemporary culture. Elegantly and convincingly, Johnson demonstrates that our culture is not declining but changing-in exciting and stimulating ways we'd do well to understand. You will never regard the glow of the video game or television screen the same way again.

In May 2005, "Freedom from Addiction" was published to critical acclaim. Each book in the series explores a recognised psychological or behavioural problem and shows in clear, non-jargonistic language how to treat it effectively with psychological interventions.

101 Facts You Should Know About Food - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: A ll food is, of course, chemicals, but processors add a vast range of extra chemicals, so-called additives, to food – and these additives have become a gigantic business. Today, there’s barely a food you can buy that does not contain at least some additives. In his book Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser describes how the New Jersey Turnpike in the USA is lined by vast flavour plants which despatch carefully balanced chemical brews to give flavour to everything from takeaway pizzas to microwave curries. On average, people in the developed world consume 6–7kg of chemical additives every year. Food processors sometimes defend the use of additives by saying that they are used to make food last longer and kill bacteria. In fact, barely 1% of additives are preservatives or antioxidants designed to prevent food going rancid. Around 90% are flavourings added to make the food more enticing, or, more commonly, to make up for natural flavour lost during the manufacturing process. Other chemicals are added to help the food survive processing, such as emulsifiers to ensure that oil and water stay mixed, and anti-caking agents to prevent powders sticking. Most developed countries have a long list of 500 or so chem- icals that can legally be added to food. Although some additives have familiar names like sugar and salt, many are known by com- plex chemical names, such as butylated hydroxyanisol, which mean nothing to those outside the additive business.

You Cannot Be Serious - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: John McEnroe was just an eighteen-year-old amateur from Queens when he stunned the tennis world by making it to the Wimbledon semifinals in 1977. He turned pro the following year after winning the NCAA singles title; three years later, he was ranked number one in the world. McEnroe dominated tennis in the eighties, winning three Wimbledon and four U.S. Open titles. His 1980 Wimbledon final match with Bjorn Borg is considered by many tennis experts to be the best match ever. You Cannot Be Serious is McEnroe at his most personal, a no-holds-barred examination of contemporary tennis, his championship seasons, his cantankerous on-court behavior, his marriage to Tatum O'Neal, his current roles as a devoted father, husband to pop star Patty Smyth, senior tennis tour player, and controversial television commentator, and much more. Funny, biting, close to the bone, this is exactly the book you'd expect-and want-from one of the most colorful figures of our time.
