Las acciones tienen consecuencias, y la capacidad de aprender de ellas revolucionó la vida en la Tierra. Aunque es bastante evidente que las consecuencias son importantes (¿dónde estaríamos sin el reforzamiento positivo?), pocos saben que existe una ciencia de las consecuencias con principios que nos afectan cada día. A pesar de su variedad, las consecuencias parecen seguir un conjunto común de principios científicos y comparten algunos efectos comunes en el cerebro, por ejemplo, en los llamados "centros de placer". El sistema genética-ambiente siempre opera de forma integrada, y los científicos han demostrado que aprender de las consecuencias activa de manera predecible los genes y reestructura nuestro cerebro. Las aplicaciones posibles de esta ciencia de las consecuencias están en todas partes, en el hogar, en el trabajo y en el ámbito escolar, por mencionar algunos ejemplos. A nivel individual y social, por ejemplo, el autocontrol se enfrenta a menudo a las consecuencias a corto y largo plazo. Después de diez años de trabajo, "La Ciencia de las Consecuencias" narra una historia que abarca desde la genética hasta los neurotransmisores, desde la emoción hasta el lenguaje, desde la educación infantil hasta la política, adoptando un enfoque interdisciplinario inclusivo para mostrar cómo algo tan aparentemente simple puede ayudar a dar sentido a tantas cosas. Este título ha recibido numerosos elogios de expertos reconocidos en genética, neurociencia y economía, así como en psicología, análisis de conducta y entrenamiento animal en medios como Nature, The Scientist y Science News.

"A vivid and impassioned Vietnam War Biography Nobody's Children: recollections from the maintenance line Vietnam '67-'68 is the real war in Vietnam, told without histrionics or self-pity." - BookViral Reviews: Golden Quill Read We began as nobody's children. Shuffled from military confinement in Tennessee to the battlegrounds of southeast Asia, we were conscripted to defend democracy against imminent threats. Transitioning from a carefree frat party mindset to the harsh realities of war, diverse groups of young men faced conflict, displacement, and the constant specter of death while occasionally contending with destructive typhoons. Assigned to an Assault Helicopter Company, these valiant airborne cavalrymen persisted despite unequal measures of prosperity and hardship. Constrained in a foreign land, beguiled by illusions of vacation ambience, we braced ourselves for escalating assaults wrung from malignant odors, menacing rhinoceros beetles, errant rockets, aggressive monkeys, and waves of NVA and VC forces lurking beneath parachute flares. In this poignant account, we delve into the months leading up to and following the first Tet Offensive of Vietnam, offering profound insights into the fear and loss that defined our experiences. Early harbingers of rock-n-roll warfare, we navigated life-altering situations with bravado, confusion, and sorrow reminiscent of generations before us. Paradoxically, our generation sought solace in marijuana-induced relaxation and soaring guitar riffs, while simultaneously enduring perverse humor and belittling tragedies. Through unwavering determination and resilience, we proudly transformed ourselves into individuals worthy of recognition. But upon returning home, we were treated once again as nobody's children.

Waanishii! from the Kutiikiitowaakanun family!This language book is a textual resource to revitalize the Nanticoke language. It is a product of years of research and collaboration. The lessons contained in this book provide a new voice for words spoken by the Nanticoke ancestors more than two centuries ago. The language may seem foreign and daunting at first from the perspective of an English speaker. However, regular study will make it seem more like a relative returning home after a long absence. Importantly, do not fear making mistakes and do not feel that there is a single correct way of speaking. While English discourse is artificially governed by a myriad of artificial prescriptive rules, the Nanticoke ancestors' speech allowed for more variety. Just as we have unique personalities, our ways of speaking differ in subtle ways that reflect our individuality.
