Мир, в котором мы живём, гораздо сложнее, чем люди его зачастую обыденно воспринимают. Он щедр, но очень хрупок и беззащитен. С каждым столетием Природа ставит перед Человечеством всё более глобальные проблемы. И требует ответственных, обдуманных, взвешенных и, главное, своевременных решений.
В этой книге звучит сигнал Тревоги, обращённый к людям. В век природных катаклизмов, истощения планетных ресурсов, пандемий и грозящих Земле последствий парникового эффекта представленная книга становится по-особому актуальна и злободневна для неравнодушного и думающего читателя.

People are chemical machines, yet we (and some other animals) develop a sense of beauty. Why and how did it evolve? How is it formed? This book answers these questions from the perspective of scientists with deep knowledge of the arts. It interweaves experimental sciences with the histories of art, architecture, music, dance, speech, literature, and food. Although we perceive each of our senses to be dramatically different, the text shows them all to be similar under the hoodsimilar in how they function and in how they shape our aesthetic experience. This book covers many fields, and does not assume the reader has any special knowledge or expertise. It avoids jargon, equations and formulae, and begin every discussion at an introductory level.

Morocco: Ancient cities, adobe fortresses of centuries past, fertile plains of wheat and olives, carpets of wildflowers, endless deserts, wild mountains, and isolated rural villages. And of course, the fabled open-air markets framed with stacks of woven rugs and other handicrafts, exotic scents wafting through the aisles, the hum of Arabic, Berber, French. Within this diverse land and confluence of cultures, many rich and ancient craft traditions carry on—women spin and weave, make buttons, embroider designs passed down through generations, and sew stunning native costumes. Women Artisans of Morocco tells the stories of twenty-five women who practice these textile traditions with an inspiring energy, pride, and fortitude. For the first time, we have a book that focuses on the artisans of Morocco themselves, those who produce these beautiful textiles that contribute substantially to their family's income while maintaining households and raising children.
