Infectious Behavior: Brain-Immune Connections in Autism, Schizophrenia, and DepressionPaul H PattersonIn Infectious Behavior, neurobiologist Paul Patterson examines the involvement of the immune system in autism, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder. Although genetic approaches to these diseases have garnered the lion’s share of publicity and funding, scientists are uncovering evidence of the important communication between the brain and the immune system, and its involvement in mental illness. Patterson focuses on this brain-immune crosstalk, describing it both in healthy people and in those with mental disorders. The heart of the book concerns the involvement of the immune systems of a pregnant woman and her fetus, and a consideration of maternal infection as a risk factor for schizophrenia and autism. In the course of his discussion, Patterson takes up the currently hot topic of vaccinations and their connection to autism.

Popular EconomicsThe Darwin Economy: Liberty, Competition, and the Common GoodRobert H FrankWho was the greater economist - Adam Smith or Charles Darwin? The question seems absurd. Darwin, after all, was a naturalist, not an economist. But Robert Frank, New York Times economics columnist and best-selling author of The Economic Naturalist, predicts that within the next century Darwin will unseat Smith as the intellectual founder of economics. The reason, Frank argues, is that Darwin’s understanding of competition describes economic reality far more accurately than Smith’s.

I`ll Have What She’s Having: Mapping Social BehaviorAlex Bentley, Mark Earls and Michael J O’BrienHumans are, first and foremost, social creatures. And this, according to the authors of I’ll Have What She’s Having, shapes - and explains - most of our choices. We’re not just blindly driven by hard-wired instincts to hunt or gather or reproduce; our decisions are based on more than “nudges” exploiting individual cognitive quirks. I’ll Have What She’s Having shows us how we use the brains of others to think for us and as storage space for knowledge about the world.

Filled with memorable vignettes, this singular book provides a window into the thoughts and opinions of the twentieth century’s most celebrated scientist and allows us to share some of his fascinating experiences.

How We See the Sky: A Naked-Eye Tour of Day and NightThomas HockeyGazing up at the heavens from our backyards or a nearby field, most of us see an undifferentiated mess of stars - if, that is, we can see anything at all through the glow of light pollution. Today’s casual observer knows far less about the sky than did our ancestors, who depended on the sun and the moon to tell them the time and on the stars to guide them through the seas. Nowadays, we don’t need the sky, which is good, because we’ve made it far less accessible, hiding it behind the skyscrapers and the excessive artificial light of our cities.
