Forgetting: The Benefits of Not Remembering
Rs. 3,290.00
or 3 X Rs.1,096.67 with

Scott A. Small

Upbeat . . . Dr. Small is convincing on the value of forgetting (and also of sleep).”—The Wall Street Journal

“Eye-opening . . . accessible with an easygoing prose.”—Publishers Weekly

“In his clear-worded and compassionate book, Scott Small translates the current science of memory for the general reader and explains why the onset of forgetting may be benign or even helpful rather than the beginning of a tragedy. Forgetting is a welcome addition to the literature on human memory at a time of both solitude and hope.”—Antonio Damasio, author of The Strange Order of Things

“Scott Small has written a book that will calm the fears of anyone who has mislaid a pair of glasses or couldn’t remember the name of an acquaintance and worried they were suffering from incipient memory loss. Forgetting is the work of an accomplished neuroscientist who follows in the tradition of Oliver Sacks, illuminating the mysteries of the brain with personal stories and lively, accessible writing as he makes the case that not remembering is a crucial biological function rather than the inevitable prelude to dementia.”—Sue Halpern, author of A Dog Walks into a Nursing Home

“This book is both fascinating and useful. The distinguished memory researcher Scott Small explains why forgetfulness is not just normal but beneficial. By allowing us to see the forest as well as the trees, forgetting promotes creativity and pattern recognition. This readable book will help you understand how the right mix of forgetting and memory allows you—and our whole society—to be emotionally healthy.”—Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of Leonardo Da Vinci and Steve Jobs

Explaining Life Through Evolution
Rs. 2,690.00
or 3 X Rs.896.67 with

Prosanta Chakrabarty

“A good book for people who want straight answers to tough questions about evolution.” –– Dr. Mary Jane West-Eberhard, author of Developmental Plasticity and Evolution and 2021 recipient of the Linnean Medal

“This incredibly readable and engaging primer on evolutionary principles and processes is a ‘must have’ for any reader’s bookshelf. I enjoyed not only the elaboration of how evolution works but also the sections on misconceptions and applications. It even clarifies important timely topics like race as a social rather than genetic construct and our current COVID-19 pandemic.” — Dr. Mohamed Noor, Darwin-Wallace Medal winner; Dean of Natural Sciences, Duke University

“An enlightening and entertaining climb through the tree of life. Prosanta Chakrabarty is a superb educator who wants more than anything to persuade you to think. He offers an accessible and affable guide to evolution, what it is, what it isn’t, how it works and why it matters – especially right now. Essential reading for students, teachers and anyone who’s ever wondered how life on earth came to be the way it is.” — Dr. Helen Scales, author of Spirals in Time and The Brilliant Abyss

“Chakrabarty weaves his lived experiences into this poignant discussion of evolution, covering key concepts that are vital to our understanding of current conditions like mutation and natural selection. Important for any book on evolutionary biology is discussion of how the discipline has been (too often) misused to conflate socially constructed categories like gender, and here Chakrabarty’s incandescent analysis shines light on the problems with historical and present-day interpretations of evolution, while enlightening us about those who work at the cutting edges of the field. We need this book, to guide us through viral pandemics and social change, and to provide literacy so that we can work together toward a thriving future world.” — Dr. Jessica Ware; Associate Curator, American Museum of Natural History and winner of the ‘Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers’

Original price was: Rs. 2,990.00.Current price is: Rs. 2,690.00.
or 3 X Rs.896.67 with

Dr. David Schneider

“Brace yourself! The Invention of Surgery is a globetrotting historical adventure, told from the inside of the operating room. Through a series of colorful, bizarre and, at times, stomach-churning stories, Dr. Schneider reveals how the human, messy side of surgical history adds up to the wondrous advances we see today.

Original price was: Rs. 3,390.00.Current price is: Rs. 2,690.00.
or 3 X Rs.896.67 with

Trevor Cox

“The spectrum of sounds humans emit are not only the lifeblood of conversation—they are central to our sense of who we are and where we come from. In his book Now You’re Talking, acoustic engineer and BBC radio presenter Trevor Cox zooms in on the basic mechanics of our vocal abilities, broadly surveys the ways our speaking voices define and reflect identity, and asks what it means when this most human quality can be replicated by computers.” —Psychology Today

“A lucid look at the science behind human communication . . . The greatest takeaway from the book is the welcome thought that our best moments as human communicators are in ordinary conversations, ‘quotidian activity that allows knowledge about how to survive and thrive to be passed between us.’ There’s lots to ponder in Cox’s geekily entertaining exploration of how we acquire our voices and understand those of others.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A lively, intelligent and persuasive history of speech.” —Laura Freeman, The Times

“Illuminating . . . Cox knows how to make his subject sing.” —Sebastian Shakespeare, Daily Mail

“Cox proves an affable guide, and his sharp history will give casual science buffs a lot to talk about.” —Publishers Weekly

What’s Eating the Universe?: And Other Cosmic Questions
Rs. 3,890.00
or 3 X Rs.1,296.67 with

Paul Davies

Brilliant. You won’t find a clearer, more engaging guide to what we know (or would like to know) about the universe and how it is put together. — Bill Bryson ― author of The Body: A Guide for Occupants

Paul Davies gives us a thought-provoking, fascinating, and delightful journey through some of the big questions that have perplexed and tantalized scientists throughout history. These are the questions and paradoxes that have stumped and teased history’s greatest minds. What happened before the beginning? What is the meaning of the universe? Are there other universes? –– Michio Kaku

Paul Davies brings his customary lucidity to a survey of some of the most fascinating and puzzling aspects of our universe, simultaneously educating us about its vertiginous wonders and giving us a real sense of science’s questions as it confronts and explores them and wrestles with their mystery. It is an absorbing and stimulating read, one of the best of its kind. — A.C. Grayling ― author of The Frontiers of Knowledge

Compelling … Davies excels in succinctly addressing the cosmological conundrums that haven’t received as much attention as dark matter, dark energy, what triggered the big bang and the fate of the universe ― Forbes

A whistle-stop tour of the biggest mysteries that cosmologists are investigating today … a fun way of making sure you’re all caught up on where cosmology is at today ― Physics World

What’s Eating the Universe? is a veritable feast for curious minds. Davies, a polymath and lyrical writer, masterfully tackles all the big questions ranging from why this Universe to the meaning of life and the significance of the present moment-a whirlwind journey through ideas that have shaped our understanding of the cosmos and its constituents. — Priyamvada Natarajan ― author of Mapping the Heavens: The Radical Scientific Ideas That Reveal the Cosmos

Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe

Brian Greene

A cracking read…Greene serves up plenty of revelatory detail… If you want to know how everything got here and where it’s going, read this book. –– Stephen Bleach ― Sunday Times

Until the End of Time is encyclopaedic in its ambition and its erudition, often heartbreaking, stuffed with too many profundities that I wanted to quote, as well as anecdotes from Greene’s own life – of which we should wish for more – that had me laughing … A love letter to the ephemeral cosmic moment when everything is possible. — Dennis Overbye ― New York Times

It takes a storyteller to explain the sciences, and few are as gifted as Brian Greene. There’s real wonder in his descriptions of galaxies and planets forming, and of life blooming after that. It is all part of a fleeting moment in the cosmos – one that will eventually end – yet Greene finds meaning and optimism in everything around us. –– Chris Schluep, Amazon Editor

A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Human Story Retold Through Our Genes
Rs. 3,290.00
or 3 X Rs.1,096.67 with
Adam Rutherford

A National Geographic Best Book of 2017

National Book Critics Circle Award—2017 Nonfiction Finalist

An Amazon Best Book of October 2017

“Nothing less than a tour de force—a heady amalgam of science, history, a little bit of anthropology and plenty of nuanced, captivating storytelling.”—The New York Times Book Review, Editor’s Choice

“[Rutherford’s] head-on, humane approach to such charged and misunderstood topics as intelligence and race make this an indispensable contribution to the popular science genre.”—Apple’s iBooks Best Book of September 2017

In our unique genomes, every one of us carries the story of our species—births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and a lot of sex.

But those stories have always been locked away—until now.

Who are our ancestors? Where did they come from? Geneticists have suddenly become historians, and the hard evidence in our DNA has blown the lid off what we thought we knew. Acclaimed science writer Adam Rutherford explains exactly how genomics is completely rewriting the human story—from 100,000 years ago to the present.

A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived will upend your thinking on Neanderthals, evolution, royalty, race, and even redheads. (For example, we now know that at least four human species once roamed the earth.) Plus, here is the remarkable, controversial story of how our genes made their way to the Americas—one that’s still being written, as ever more of us have our DNA sequenced.

Rutherford closes with “A Short Introduction to the Future of Humankind,” filled with provocative questions that we’re on the cusp of answering: Are we still in the grasp of natural selection? Are we evolving for better or worse? And . . . where do we go from here?

Thinking Better: The Art of the Shortcut
Rs. 2,890.00
or 3 X Rs.963.33 with

Marcus du Sautoy

How do you remember more and forget less?

How can you earn more and become more creative just by moving house?
And how do you pack a car boot most efficiently?

This is your shortcut to the art of the shortcut.

Mathematics is full of better ways of thinking, and with over 2,000 years of knowledge to draw on, Oxford mathematician Marcus du Sautoy interrogates his passion for shortcuts in this fresh and fascinating guide.

After all, shortcuts have enabled so much of human progress, whether in constructing the first cities around the Euphrates 5,000 years ago, using calculus to determine the scale of the universe, or in writing today’s algorithms that help us find a new life partner.
As well as looking at the most useful shortcuts in history – such as measuring the circumference of the earth in 240 BC to diagrams that illustrate how modern GPS works – Marcus also looks at how you can use shortcuts in investing or how to learn a musical instrument to memory techniques. He talks to, among many, the writer Robert MacFarlane, cellist Natalie Clein, and the psychologist Suzie Orbach, asking whether shortcuts are always the best idea and, if so, when they use them.

With engaging puzzles and conundrums throughout to illustrate the shortcut’s ability to find solutions with speed, Thinking Better offers many clever strategies for daily complex problems.

The Big Bang of Numbers: How to Build the Universe Using Only Maths
Rs. 3,190.00
or 3 X Rs.1,063.33 with
Manil Suri

Shortlisted for the 2023 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award

“In The Big Bang of Numbers, Manil Suri invites the reader to create a universe made of mathematical ideas, sparking a thrill that may catch you off guard―an exhilarating sensation of playfulness, power, and insight.” ― Steven Strogatz, New York Times bestselling author of Infinite Powers and The Joy of x

“[Suri] successfully explores many areas of seemingly pure math that explain the natural world… He also sheds light on abstruse subjects (fractals, infinity, curved space) that puzzle humans more than they should, creating a text that is deeper than most popular writing on math but worth the effort. A successful contribution to the math-isn’t-boring genre.” ― Kirkus Reviews

An engaging and imaginative tour through the fundamental mathematical concepts―from arithmetic to infinity―that form the building blocks of our universe.

Our universe has multiple origin stories, from religious creation myths to the Big Bang of scientists. But if we leave those behind and start from nothing―no matter, no cosmos, not even empty space―could we create a universe using only math? Irreverent, richly illustrated, and boundlessly creative, The Big Bang of Numbers invites us to try.

In this new mathematical origin story, mathematician and novelist Manil Suri creates a natural progression of ideas needed to design our world, starting with numbers and continuing through geometry, algebra, and beyond. He reveals the secret lives of real and imaginary numbers, teaches them to play abstract games with real-world applications, discovers unexpected patterns that connect humble lifeforms to enormous galaxies, and explores mathematical underpinnings for randomness and beauty. With evocative examples ranging from multidimensional crochet to the Mona Lisa’s asymmetrical smile, as well as ingenious storytelling that helps illuminate complex concepts like infinity and relativity, The Big Bang of Numbers charts a playful, inventive course to existence. Mathematics, Suri shows, might best be understood not as something we invent to explain Nature, but as the source of all creation, whose directives Nature tries to obey as best she can.

Offering both striking new perspectives for math aficionados and an accessible introduction for anyone daunted by calculation, The Big Bang of Numbers proves that we can all fall in love with math.

Answerable and Unanswerable Questions Does alien life exist? Is time travel possible? How did the Universe begin and how will it end? Is the future pre-determined? These are just some of the fascinating questions posed in this book which stretches across physics, the life sciences and cosmology. Each chapter considers a separate question and ends with either an answer or, if there is insufficient evidence, a ‘best guess’ answer. For every question addressed here—be it time travel, multiple universes, intergalactic travel, or the end of the world—the author has tried to exhaust all possibilities before arriving at a conclusion. Everyone will have their own opinion but one thing is certain— Mysteries of the Universe will fascinate, educate, and stimulate.

Richard Dawkins

“The Selfish Gene” is a bestselling book by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. First published in 1976, the book presents a revolutionary view of evolution, focusing on the gene rather than the individual organism. Dawkins argues that genes are the primary unit of selection in evolution and that organisms are simply vehicles for their replication. This perspective, known as “gene’s eye view,” has had a profound impact on the field of evolutionary biology and has become a classic in its own right. The book has sold over a million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 25 languages. This 40th-anniversary edition includes a new epilogue from the author discussing the continued relevance of these ideas in modern biology, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the field of evolutionary biology.

The Ten Types of Human: Who We Are and Who We Can Be

or 3 X Rs.996.67 with

Dexter Dias

Dexter Dias is on the side of the angels, who turn out to be us, the people. He writes like an angel too. Uplifting and indispensable. — Howard Cunnell, author of Fathers and Sons

In defining and describing his human types, he draws on lab experiments, the animal kingdom, and all the literature you might expect from a modern behaviourist. Yet the main body of the book, the bits that transfixed and stayed with me, stopped me sleeping but got me up in the morning, were the human stories that Dias has travelled the world to find. His interviewees are always people, the most vivid flesh and blood, never case studies. And yet that’s not what’s so extraordinary about it: storytellers are rare, but not vanishingly so… Dias’s work as a human rights lawyer gives him this instinctive, urgent belief that all injustices, all catastrophes, exploitations, acts of violence, all human misery can be taken on and overcome, somehow, if the right people try and there are enough of them. His combination of rigour, idealism and pragmatism makes fertile terrain out of the most appalling battlefields… I emerged from this book feeling better about almost everything. The ideas in The Ten Types of Human are a layperson’s opening into a fascinating academic field: but more than that, a mosaic of faces building into this extraordinary portrait of our species. — Zoe Williams ― Guardian

The Ten Types of Human is a fantastic piece of non-fiction, mixing astonishing real-life cases with the latest scientific research to provide a guide to who we really are. It’s inspiring and essential. — Charles Duhigg

This book is the one. Dexter Dias has written a game changer. Think Sapiens and triple it. — Julia Hobsbawm, author of Fully Connected

A Short History of Humanity is an eloquent and timely reminder that viruses and other pathogens of infectious disease are merely fellow-travellers in an epic journey that began when the first human migrants left Africa around 200,000 years ago. The solution to pandemics is not to close borders in the hope of keeping viruses out but to recognise that we are a fundamentally peripatetic species united in our shared genetic inheritance and common humanity. ― Mark Honigsbaum, author of A Pandemic Century

A valuable contribution to our understanding of who we are and how we got here. ― Tim Marshall, bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography

One of those books that stops you dead in your tracks and makes you say out loud – why didn’t I know that before? So easy to read. So logically argued. So satisfyingly sensible and thought-provoking. Read it, think about it, and then read it again. An absolute revelation. ― Professor Sue Black, bestselling author of All That Remains

Rs. 3,490.00

Where did we come from? How did it all begin? These are the biggest questions in the universe, and New Scientist has the answers …

Introduction by Professor Stephen Hawking

From what actually happened in the Big Bang to the accidental discovery of post-it notes, science is packed with surprising discoveries. Did you know, for instance, that if you were to get too close to a black hole it would suck you up like a noodle (it’s called spaghettification), why your keyboard is laid out in QWERTY (it’s not to make it easier to type) or whether the invention of the wheel was less important to civilisation than the bag (think about it). New Scientist does.

Get ready for a whistlestop journey from the start of our universe (through the history of stars, galaxies, meteorites, the Moon and dark energy) to our planet (through oceans and weather to oil) and life (through dinosaurs to emotions and sex) to civilization (from cities to alcohol and cooking), knowledge (from alphabets to alchemy) ending up with technology (computers to rocket science).

Witty essays explore the concepts alongside enlightening infographics that zoom from how many people have ever lived to showing you how a left-wing brain differs from a right-wing one.

The popular science equivalent of Who Do You Think You Are?

Popular science master Brian Clegg’s new book is an entertaining tour through the science of what makes you you.

The most interesting part is when the book explores what consciousness is (or, rather, highlights how little we know about it but still shows how much more there is to “us” than the conscious part) and pulls apart the old nature versus nurture debate with some remarkable material on genetics and how the influence of our environment is mathematically chaotic. ― Peet Morris, Times Higher Education

JP MORGAN’S BEST SUMMER READ OF 2016

New York Times bestseller

Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Nonfiction (2016)

In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People).

“Grit delves into the personal ingredients of great success. It’s worth reading…the gist is that talent and skill are less valuable than effort.” —Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times

“It really isn’t talent but practice—along with passion—that makes perfect, explains psychologist Duckworth in this illuminating book. Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere.” —People

“[Have] no doubt: Grit is great. It’s a lucid, informative, and entertaining review of the research Angela has assiduously conducted over the past decade or so. The book also includes suggestions on how to develop grit, and how we can help support grit in others. There are few people who wouldn’t learn something from this book.” —Scientific American (blog)

“Duckworth is the researcher most associated with the study and popularization of grit. And yet what I like about her new book, Grit, is the way she is pulling away from the narrow, joyless intonations of that word, and pointing us beyond the way many schools are now teaching it…Most important, she notes that the quality of our longing matters. Gritty people are resilient and hard working, sure. But they also, she writes, know in a very, very deep way what it is they want.” —David Brooks, New York Times

“Offers invaluable lessons to business leaders, parents, recruiters, and almost anyone who wishes to have a roadmap to achieve greater levels of success.” —Forbes

It’s a pleasure to read, full of wonderful analogies and imagery and, last but not least, a celebration of the human spirit.”—NPR Cosmos & Culture

How The Brain Lost Its Mind: Sex, Hysteria and the Riddle of Mental Illness

Dr Allan Ropper

“How the Brain Lost Its Mind” is a book that explores the history of neurology and psychiatry through the lens of Jean-Martin Charcot, a leading physician in Paris in 1882. Charcot revolutionized the treatment of mental illness, particularly neurosyphilis, which was a driving force behind the overflow of patients in Europe’s asylums. However, his work took a bizarre turn when he brought hypnotism into his clinic, abandoning his pursuit of the biological basis of illness in favor of the far sexier and theatrical treatment of female “hysterics.” This set the stage for Sigmund Freud and his seductive theory of Freudian analysis, which brought sex and hysteria onto the psychiatrist couch and left the brain behind. The book raises philosophical and practical questions about the difference between a sick mind and a sick brain, and where neurology and psychiatry should converge to explore the nature of the human psyche. The book has been praised for being “hugely entertaining” and “fascinating” by the Guardian and the Mail on Sunday, respectively.

Professor Anil Seth

A brilliant beast of a book. A wide ranging synthesis pulling together disparate stands from philosophy, science, literature, personal experience and speculation – this latter being the most exciting for me, despite some proposals being as yet unproven. Seth proposes to explain not just what and how we are, but probably provocative for some folks, why we are the way we are. Why do we have the feeling of continually being the same person? (when obviously I, at least, am not) Why do we have this feeling of being self aware? What is it for? Hugely inspirational – I filled up 10 pages with exuberant notes. Keep a pencil handy. — David Byrne

Insightful and profound. The nature of consciousness is still one of the hardest problems in science, but Anil Seth brings us closer than ever before to the answer. This a hugely important book. — Jim Al-Khalili

Anil Seth thinks clearly and sharply on one of the hardest problems of science and philosophy, cutting through weeds with a scientist’s mind and a storyteller’s skill. — Adam Rutherford

Seth provokes us to think about thinking. And he offers what the interested reader always needs – a book which makes complex ideas readable, relatable, and gripping. If you want to understand his subject better – he’ll help you. And who wouldn’t want to better understand consciousness? In our lives, there is nothing weirder or more fundamental. — Alex Garland ― director of EX MACHINA

Masterly . . . deftly weaves the philosophical, biological and personal with a lucid clarity and coherence that is thrilling to read . . . This much-anticipated book lays out his radical theory of our invented reality with accessible and compelling writing . . . meticulously researched . . . Being You is an exhilarating book: a vast-ranging, phenomenal achievement that will undoubtedly become a seminal text. –– Gaia Vince ― Guardian
