Irresistible Bok
Why are some things cute, and others not? What happens to our brains when we see something cute? And how did cuteness go global, from Hello Kitty to Disney characters? Cuteness is an area where culture and biology get tangled up. Seeing a cute animal triggers some of the most powerful psychological instincts we have - the ones that elicit our care and protection - but there is a deeper story behind the broad appeal of Japanese cats and saccharine greetings cards. Joshua Paul Dale, a pioneer in the burgeoning field of cuteness studies, explains how the cute aesthetic spread around the globe, from pop brands to Lolita fashion, kids' cartoons and the unstoppable rise of Hello Kitty. Irresistible delves into the surprisingly ancient origins of Japan's kawaii culture, and uncovers the cross-cultural pollination of the globalised world. If adorable things really do rewire our brains, it can help answer some of the biggest questions we have about our evolutionary history and the mysterious origins of animal domestication. This is the fascinating cultural history of cuteness, and a revealing look at how our most powerful psychological impulses have remade global style and culture.

The Inner Clock Bok
At this very moment, a symphony of tiny timepieces is ticking throughout your body - in your stomach and skin, in your liver and lungs, even in your legs. Orchestrating this round-the-clock production is a master timekeeper in your brain. What happens when these circadian rhythms are out of tune? How has our modern lifestyle led to an epidemic of broken body clocks? And how can we reverse it? In <i>The Inner Clock</i>, journalist Lynne Peeples travels around the world to discover the ways in which our circadian clocks affect our days - and our nights. Speaking to biologists, professional athletes, surgeons, astronomers, software developers and sleep scientists, <b>she reveals the cutting-edge research</b> that is newly available about the powerful sway circadian rhythms have on our bodies and our cultures. Along the way, she sleeps in a Cold War-era bunker, chases the midnight sun, spits into test tubes and wears light-adjusting headsets in an effort to decipher what makes our internal timers tick and how we can reset them for the better. Threats to our body clocks abound: artificial light, air pollution, jet lag, late-night meals and a myriad of other modern insults. But we can also <b>harness our internal rhythms to our advantage</b> - learning the optimal time to take medication, schedule a job interview or eat dinner. The time has come to reckon with the effects of circadian cycles on our minds, bodies and societies.

Technology Is Not The Problem Bok
<p> <strong>We already know how much of our data is collected and used to profile and target us. The real question is why, knowing all this, do we keep going back for more? </strong> </p> <p>Technology has delivered a world that we expect to revolve around us, our needs and preferences, and our unique personalities. Each of us willingly yields up the most intimate facets of our behaviour and interests in return for a world that's exponentially easier to navigate. Ours is the Personalised Century, where we view ourselves primarily in terms of what rather than who we are - the objects of others' recognition, rather than the subjects and authors of our own lives. That we keep handing ourselves over to technology is not a sign of its supernatural powers, but rather our own shrinking sense of selves.</p> <p>Interrogating the historical currents that have brought us here, Harkness envisages a messier, riskier and less comfortable world than the one into which we're sliding. Challenging readers to scrutinise what's missing from their personalised menus, Recognised encourages us to look afresh at the familiar: not just the technology we use every day, how we relate to the world and those around us.</p>
