Two Heads by Uta Frith,Chris Frith,Alex Frith Pdf

This “charming and addictively accessible introduction to neuroscience” (Steven Pinker) takes us on a highly entertaining tour through the wonders and mysteries of the human brain—from a renowned husband-and-wife team of cognitive neuroscientists. Professors and husband-and-wife team Uta and Chris Frith have pioneered major studies of brain disorders throughout their nearly fifty-year career. Here, in this “pleasing mix of wonder, genial humor, and humility” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), they tell the compelling story of the birth of neuroscience and their paradigm-shifting discoveries across areas as wide-ranging as autism and schizophrenia research, and new frontiers of social cognition including diversity, prejudice, confidence, collaboration, and empathy. Working with their son Alex Frith and artist Daniel Locke, the Friths delve into a wide range of complex concepts and explain them with humor and clarity. You’ll learn what it means to be a “social species,” explore what happens when we gather in groups, and discover how people behave in pairs—when we’re pitted against each other, versus when we work together. Is it better to surround yourself with people who are similar to yourself, or different? And, are two heads really better than one? Highly original and ingeniously illustrated, Two Heads is a “magical book...[and] a fantastically fun way to learn about the brain, the mind, and the lives of two of the world’s most brilliant scientists” (Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, author of Inventing Ourselves).

The Boy with Two Heads by Andy Mulligan Pdf

How would you feel if you woke up and found another head growing out of your neck? A living, breathing, TALKING head, with a rude, sharp tongue and an evil sense of humour. It knows all your darkest thoughts and it’s not afraid to say what it thinks . . . to ANYBODY. That's what happens to eleven-year-old Richard Westlake, and life becomes very, very complicated. Part thriller, part horror, part comedy – this is one of the most riveting novels about fear and friendship that you will ever read. Andy Mulligan won the 2011 Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, and his international bestseller, Trash, is now a major film – directed by Stephen Daldry and with screenplay by Richard Curtis.

Why Skeets Malloy Has Two Heads by Richard Shaver Pdf

AN OLD CARNY MAN DOESN'T LIKE TO GIVE AWAY TRADE SECRETS, AND SKEETS HAD GOOD REASONS WHEN HE TRIED TO . . . BUT THE PROF USED A VERY ODD TRICK TO STOP HIM!ExcerptSo you want to know why Skeets looks like that? Well, I'm probably one of the few men on the face of the Earth who could tell you the honest lowdown on Skeets Malloy. I've known Skeets ever since he poked them two heads of his through this carny's office-wagon door and got himself a job. That was a long time ago. Skeets was born that way, of course. But it never bothered him being different, until he met the Professor. You see, he wasn't really different from other people, not the way he looked at it, and he didn't even think much about being different. The Professor changed all that and ruined poor Skeers for life. If it wasn't for this carny- Well, you know how people are about such things. But he's pretty happy now, and it turned out to be a good thing for our set-up here, too. You see, aside from his two heads, Skeets turned out to be an old carnival man. Just a natural for the business, you might say. But let me tell you about it. Skeets had always accepted his appearance, just like you accept having two legs and one nose and freckles. He's a cagey guy, too. It would take the sharpest con in the rackets to touch Skeets for more than bus fare.

A private investigator trying to help an old friend escape jail time becomes a murder suspect, in this cozy mystery. When her best friend from high school turns up out of nowhere begging for help, private investigator Eddie Shoes is right to be wary. She hasn’t seen Dakota in years. Maybe it’s nostalgia that has her bailing the woman out of jail. Eddie even reluctantly agrees to help Dakota find the person whose been stalking her. Of course, the moment Dakota is freed, she disappears, leaving Eddie on the hook with the local police, headed up by Eddie’s ex-boyfriend, Det. Chance Parker. Now Eddie is hot on Dakota’s trail, wondering if she was kidnapped or if she just jumped bail. Either way, things are not looking good for Eddie, especially when her business card is found on the bodies of not one, but two murder victims. Even worse, all evidence suggests that the answers to this mystery are tied to Dakota and Eddie’s shared history. Which means that in order to solve this case, Eddie’s going to have to face down her own demons. . . .

Two Heads Are Better Than One by Chris Ladd Pdf

Written from the heart of a true Southern gentleman who walks the talk of his faith and beliefs, Two Heads Are Better than One narrates the God-filled life of author Chris Ladd. Inspired by his deep faith and love of Jesus Christ, he has spent his life in service to others. In this memoir, he tells his stories against the backdrop of Jesus Christ—how he brought Christ into his life and how he kept Him number one. Ladd tells of the problems he faced in growing up in Tennessee and Oklahoma but credits the work of his Christian grandmother in teaching him to do the right thing. He discusses how he discovered the meaning of true faith and how to reach for success in life with Christ. In Two Heads Are Better than One, Ladd asserts that God has a plan for all of us and that no matter what happens, He will see us through if we keep believing. Through the stories told in this recollection, Ladd shows you how to be ready for the return of Jesus Christ and how to live a life of happiness, peace, and success according to God’s plan.
