Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spotting a face in a crowd is so easy, you take it for granted. But how you do it is one of science's great mysteries. Vision is involved in nearly a third of everything a brain does and explaining how it works reveals more than just how we see. It also tells us how the brain processes information – how it perceives, learns and remembers. In We Know It When We See It, pioneering neuroscientist Richard Masland covers everything from what happens when light hits your retina, to the increasingly sophisticated nerve nets that turn that light into knowledge, to what a computer algorithm must be able to do before it can truly be called ‘intelligent’. It is a profound yet accessible investigation into how our bodies make sense of the world.

Download or read book Tales of Young Gandhi written by Janhavi Prasada and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-10-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encouraged by his co-workers, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi decided to write his autobiography in the 1920s. The Story of My Experiments with Truth went on to inspire generations of people worldwide. As on millions of others, the memoir of an ordinary man who achieved extraordinary feats had a strong impact on Janhavi Prasada when she first read it. And with that was born her desire to share his path of peace, and the inspiration she had found in his work, with as many people as she could. As she realized, he was much ahead of his times not only as a thinker but also as a doer. The values that he taught - truth, non-violence, simple living, cleanliness - are even more relevant today than then. Exquisitely illustrated, with visual content that Janhavi collected over eight years of travel to Porbandar, London and South Africa, Tales of Young Gandhi retells the story of a fascinating life and hopes to introduce a new generation of readers to the Mahatma.

Download or read book Scent of a Story written by Shankar Ghosh and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining biography and memoir, Shankar Ghosh writes of his father's life as a journalist in his father's own voice. As the longest-serving and the first Indian editor of the second-oldest English newspaper in India, the Pioneer, his father Dr S.N. Ghosh's career matched step with the most profound changes in modern history, including India's coming of age as an independent nation.As a cub reporter for the Pioneer, Dr Ghosh saw the 'whites only' clubs of the British Raj. During the Bengal Famine he was one of the few journalists who wrote about the disaster, and even helped his wife smuggle grain to Calcutta, then a punishable offence. On the eve of Independence, he wrote the Pioneer's editorial to mark the historic day. In the 1950s he witnessed the beginning of the Ram Janma Bhoomi movement -- after an idol of Ram Lalla appeared surreptitiously in the Babari Masjid. He also chronicled the India--China war and the politicking in an incipient Uttar Pradesh, and had experienced first-hand the Jim Crow years in the US when he travelled in the country.As a journalist Dr Ghosh's personal accounts were many. He loved to tell them and Shankar to listen. Shankar's prose condenses, as a perfumer bottles a fragrance, his father's remembrances, his father's life in romance of a newspaper, and the spirit of an early Lucknow, all for us to get a whiff of those times. As memoirs go, Scent of a Story is a charmer of a book.
