This Book May Cause Side Effects
'A wild and sometimes shocking ride ... Doctors, take note' Telegraph'Ambitious and fascinating' Book of the Day, Guardian'Absolutely fascinating' Dr Julie Smith'Entrancing' David RobsonA groundbreaking investigation into the nocebo effect - the placebo's evil twin - urging us to rethink the mind-body connection. Illness is not simply a matter of biology. Our thoughts, conscious or otherwise, can make us feel pain or become unwell. If you experienced side effects from your Covid vaccine, the chances are that these were caused by your belief that you would experience them. When a nurse tells you 'this is going to hurt', it generally does - but perhaps it shouldn't. In this revelatory study, neuroscientist Helen Pilcher explores the hidden impact of the 'nocebo effect' - the placebo's evil twin. Medical studies have proven the nocebo effect to cause pain, nausea, paralysis, seizures, and even blindness. The nocebo effect impacts how we grow sick and grow old, explains why people who don't have food allergies have dietary intolerances, and why, during the pandemic, so many teenagers caught tics through social media. From Havana Syndrome to hex deaths, chronic pain and mystery illnesses, this book explains what happens when illness, psychology and society meet - and shows us what we can do to become less ill and more well.

Digitální džungle už nikdy nebude méně divoká. Vaše děti se v ní ale nemusejí ztratit.
Rodičovství je těžké – a to digitální obzvlášť. Virtuální svět se mění rychleji než kdy dřív a zahlcují jej krátká videa, čím dál návykovější hry, sofistikovanější algoritmy i online formy vztahů. Jak přesně to ovlivňuje život našich dětí? A můžeme to změnit?
Michaela Slussareff vás seznámí s aktuálními vědeckými poznatky o vlivu digitálních technologií na děti i dospívající a pomůže vám je převést do každodenní rodičovské praxe. Jak společně komunikovat, nastavovat férová pravidla i rozpoznat, kdy se z běžného používání stává problém.
V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte
- Výzkumy z celého světa se shodují v tom, že děti do dvou let by vůbec neměly sledovat obrazovky.
- Krátká videa zásadně mění nejen schopnost udržet pozornost a učit se, ale ovlivňují samotné myšlení.
- Děti musíme připravit na to, že je mnohem obtížnější se pornografii na internetu vyhnout než ji vyhledat.
- Vztahy s umělou inteligencí a virtuálními společníky už nejsou sci-fi a některým dětem nahrazují ty skutečné.
- Pouhé zákazy a kontrola nefungují a nikdy nebudou – klíčem je přístup založený na otevřenosti, důvěře a dialogu.
Staňte se spolehlivým průvodcem svých dětí a pomozte jim na cestě k digitální odolnosti.

Wombat Waiting
From the Newbery Award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The One and Only Ivan and Odder comes a stunning new middle grade standalone novel about compassion, resilience, and surprising friendships, following a dog named Wombat in the aftermath of a catastrophic fire.
Wombat isn’t actually a wombat?but when the homeless dog is discovered, singed and ash-covered after a terrible fire destroys a community, someone tags her with the nickname and it sticks.
Wombat is a “destiny dog.” Something inside of her (she nicknames it “Voice’) keeps telling her there’s a special someone out there who is meant to be her person.
Surrounded by a devastated town, Wombat takes up residence on bench near the makeshift community center, an old brick warehouse that, for the most part, survived the flames. A small part of the community center evacuation site has been repurposed for the local wildlife rehab sanctuary that burned down. All of the animals were spared, and the temporary quarters include an elderly fruit bat and a young Northern saw-whet owl.
No matter what, Wombat refuses to move from her perch, despite the efforts of many humans. Clearly the dog is waiting for someone. But for whom? And what are the odds they survived?
Fans of modern classics like Because of Winn-Dixie, Pax, and Katherine Applegate’s own Crenshaw and Odder, and timeless tales like Charlotte’s Web, will find a friend in Wombat and her story.
