Oscar Zarate Poradie kníh
Oscar Zárate, narodený v Argentíne, po štúdiu architektúry uspel v oblasti reklamy. Po presťahovaní do Európy sa naplno venoval ilustrácii, pričom sa preslávil najmä ako výtvarník grafického románu s textom Alana Moorea, ktorý skúma vnútorný boj idealistického muža a jeho mladšieho ja. Jeho tvorba často zachytáva zložité ľudské skúsenosti prostredníctvom vizuálne bohatého štýlu.

Quantum theory

Quantum theory is one of science's most thrilling, challenging and even mysterious areas. Scientists such as Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrodinger uncovered bizarre paradoxes in the early 20th century that seemed to destroy the fundamental assumptions of 'classical physics' - the basic laws we are taught in school. Notoriously difficult, quantum theory is nonetheless an amazing and inspiring intellectual adventure, explained here with patience, wit and clarity."

Jak se vyvíjela lidská mysl? Jak se člověk v této oblasti odlišuje od svých vývojových předchůdců? Je-li člověk založen na sobeckých genech, proč je tak kooperativní? Mohou být rozdíly mezi psychologií muže a ženy vysvětleny z evolučního pohledu? Tyto a další otázky jsou v centru zájmu vědeckého oboru, jež se nazývá evoluční psychologie. Kniha Evoluční psychologie je srozumitelným a zábavným úvodem do této nové discipliny. Předkládá klíčové poznatky evoluční biologie, kognitivní psychologie, ale i antropologie nebo archeologie, které evolučním psychologům pomáhají lépe pochopit, jaká je lidská přirozenost.
