The genetic history of the dog is a sensational example of the co-evolution of two species, man and wolf, to each other’s mutual benefit. But how did this ancient partnership begin? To answer this question, Professor Bryan Sykes identifies tantalising clues in the recently mapped genetic makeup of both species.Sykes paints a vivid picture of the dog as an ancient and essential ally. While undoubtedly it was the mastery of fire, language and agriculture that propelled Homo sapiens from a scarce, medium-sized primate to the position we enjoy today, Sykes crucially credits a fourth element for this success: the transformation of the wolf into the multi-purpose helpmate that is the dog. Drawing upon archaeology, history and genetics, Sykes shows how humans evolved to become the dominant species on Earth, but only with the help of our canine companions.

Ever since Jurassic Park we thought we knew how dinosaurs lived their lives. In this remarkable new book, Brian J. Ford reveals that dinosaurs were, in fact, profoundly different from what we believe, and their environment was unlike anything we have previously thought.In this meticulous and absorbing account, Ford reviews the latest scientific evidence to show that the popular accounts of dinosaurs’ lives contain ideas that are no more than convenient inventions: how dinosaurs mated, how they hunted and communicated, how they nursed their young, even how they moved. He uncovers many surprising details which challenge our most deeply-held beliefs – such as the revelation that an asteroid impact did not end the dinosaurs’ existence.Professor Ford’s illuminating examination changes everything. As he unravels the history of the world, we discover that evolution was not Charles Darwin’s idea; there were many philosophers who published the theory before him. The concept of continental drift and plate tectonics did not begin with Alfred Wegener a century ago, but dates back to learned pioneers hundreds of years before his time. Ever since scientists first began to study dinosaurs, they have travelled with each other down the wrong path, and Ford now shows how this entire branch of science has to be rewritten.A new dinosaur species is announced every ten days, and more and more information is currently being discovered about how they may have lived: locomotion, hunting, nesting behaviour, distribution, extinction. Ford brings together these amazing discoveries in this controversial new book which undoubtedly will ruffle a few feathers, or scales if you are an old-school dinosaur lover.

Wissen ist Macht. Sprache kann vernichtende Gewalt sein, aber auch eine befreiende Kraft. Die Macht des Wissens soll ?ber die Kraft der Sprache geteilt und zug?nglich werden. Denn Gewalt hat Folgen. Chronische Gewalt hat chronische Folgen. Ein Psychotrauma soll eine Ersch?tterung sein, aber was ist, wenn Menschen diese Ersch?tterung als Normalzustand angenommen haben? Was bedeutet Traumatisierung eigentlich, wenn ?berall Stress mit »Trauma« beschrieben wird? Was sollen all die k?rperlichen Symptome, wenn doch die Psyche ersch?ttert wurde? Warum ist Pers?nlichkeit dynamisch und was passiert, wenn es diese Dynamik nicht in funktionellem Zusammenfluss gibt? Wer lebt weiter, wenn Gewalt t?dlich war? Mithilfe neurobiologischer Prozesse werden Natur- mit Humanwissenschaften verbunden, um sich mit diesen Fragen auseinanderzusetzen. Dissoziation klingt fachlich vielleicht fremd, doch ist es ein Ph?nomen, das in gewissen Formen alle Menschen in ihrem Alltag kennen. Unbekannter sind die pathologischen Extreme und ein anderes Spektrum – die Strukturelle Dissoziation, welche in ihrem Ursprung ein ?berlebensmechanismus ist. Charaktere, die in Medien als »Multiple Pers?nlichkeit« Massenm?rder darstellen, verzerren das Bild von Menschen, deren Organismen eigentlich nur schon zu fr?h und zu oft in ihrem Leben auf instinktive, unbewusste ?berlebensmechanismen zur?ckgreifen mussten. Menschen, die nicht vervielfacht (»multipel«), sondern (durchaus funktionell und lebensf?hig) gespalten sind. Auch geht es um das Leben, nach dem ?berleben, welches mehr sein sollen darf als Schuld und Scham. Denn Menschen mit Dissoziativen (Identit?ts-)St?rungen sind mehr als ihre Traumatisierungen, auch wenn Narben bleiben und es keinen Neuanfang geben wird.
