We are all living longer. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2050 there will be two billion people aged 60+, with 434 million of us over 80 years old.

Nikola Tesla established his innovative supremacy through a multitude of discoveries, and became an instant celebrity when he demonstrated his highly innovative tesla coil. He worked on edison’s direct current and came up with alternating current, an alternative that swept the world by storm.

 

Tesla’s inventive juggernaut rarely ever slowed down. Decidedly well ahead of his time, and after 300 well-earned patents, Tesla’s mind leap-frogged to work on the then ‘improbable’ like electricity transmission through air, fuel-less airplanes, flying cars and a death ray capable of decimating very large targets. For his extraordinary and imaginative prowess, seemingly out of sync with his times, today, Tesla has become a cult of sorts, and his name continues to attract all probing minds, both young and old, like a powerful magnet.

Publisher:A Tarcherperigee Book

Call Number:370.100 / T1

Synopsis:

 

 

 

 

It wasn’t that long ago that kids spent their days playing outside, naturally engaging their sensory system and building key skills. But with increasing time pressures and safety concerns, they are spending more time in front of screens and less time interacting with the world around them. As an occupational therapist with a specialty in sensory integration, Allie Ticktin has seen an increase in cases of children who struggle to sit in circle time or at their desk upright and who are delayed in walking, talking, and even playing.

 

The good news is that boosting your child’s sensory development doesn’t take a ton of time, expensive supplies, or special know-how. Ticktin discusses the eight sensory systems and how a child uses them, and offers easy, fun activities-as well as advice on setting up a play area to encourage development so that your little one will be better able to respond to their emotions, build friendships, communicate their needs, and thrive in school. That’s the power of sensory play.

America is on the brink of a green energy revolution that can save the planet, and increase peace and prosperity, by harnessing the unlimited solar power.

In the Truth chamber, they learn to thoughtfully and objectively evaluate the reality of the situation. In the final chamber, they learn to define and focus their Intent.

 

The last phase of the practice is the most profound – taking the knowledge they have gathered from the four chambers, readers then walk backwards through each of the four chambers, refocusing their Intent, Truth, Story, and Feelings based on what they’ve learned during the process.

ROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DISHES

Author:Lesley Blanch

Publisher:Grub Street

Call Number:641.500 / B1

Location:Area C

Synopsis:

 

This charming little book was first published in 1956 when people in England were still enduring post-war restrictions on both travelling and eating.

Seductive and piquant like its author, this is an appetizer for enthusiastic beginners, rather than a basic cookbook. Lesley Blanch’s gastronomic world tour includes eighty recipes, each prefaced by an account of where they were first tasted, or with some amusing anecdote, and are illustrated by her delightful line drawings.

CHANGE: HOW TO MAKE BIG THINGS HAPPEN

Author:Damon Centola

Publisher:Little, Brown Spark

Call Number:303.400 / C1

Location:Area C

Synopsis:

 

Most of what we know about how ideas spread comes from bestselling authors who give us a compelling picture of a world, in which “influencers” are king, “sticky” ideas “go viral,” and good behavior is “nudged” forward. The problem is that the world they describe is a world where information spreads, but beliefs and behaviors stay the same.
When it comes to lasting change in what we think or the way we live, the dynamics are different: beliefs and behaviors are not transmitted from person to person in the simple way that a virus is. The real story of social change is more complex. When we are exposed to a new idea, our social networks guide our responses in striking and surprising ways.
Drawing on deep yet accessible research and fascinating examples from the spread of coronavirus to the success of the Black Lives Matter movement, the failure of Google+, and the rise of political polarization, Change presents groundbreaking and paradigm-shifting new science for understanding what drives change, and how we can change the world around us.

Call Number:158.100 / S6

Location:Area C

Synopsis:

 

 

Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her – what to call it? – depression?

 

She feels persistently, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can’t be normal.

 

But if she’s so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?

 

Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness.

Author:Adam Grant

Publisher:Penguin Books

Call Number:153.300 / G1

Location:Area C

Synopsis:

 

 

 

 

It’s one thing to have new ideas, but another to stand up for them. Adam Grant, one of his generation’s most provocative thought leaders, explores how individuals can recognize good ideas and speak up without getting silenced, parents can raise creative children, and leaders can build cultures that fight groupthink and promote innovation.

 

Using remarkable studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant shows that original thinkers are surprisingly similar to the rest of us. They procrastinate. They grapple with doubt and fear. They have bad ideas. What sets them apart is that they choose to act anyway.

 

This book offers groundbreaking insights about how we can all become more successful in championing our best ideas.

Synopsis:

 

 

 

 

In recent times, we have come to favor all things Scandi ― their food, furnishings, fiction, fashion, and general way of life. We seem to regard the Swedes and their Scandinavian neighbors as altogether more sophisticated, admirable, and evolved than us.

 

We have all aspired to be Swedish, to live in their perfectly designed society from the future. But what if we have invested all our faith in a fantasy? What if Sweden has in fact never been as moderate, egalitarian, dignified, or tolerant as it would like to (have us) think?

 

The recent rise to political prominence of an openly neo-Nazi party has begun to crack the illusion, and here now is Swede Elisabeth Åsbrink, who loves her country ‘but not blindly’, presenting twenty-five of her nation’s key words and icons afresh, in order to give the world a clearer-eyed understanding of this fascinating country …
