This chart is clearly laid out, easy to follow and details the properties of ingredients from herbal medicine, homeopathy and aromatherapy.
A mind-expanding, revolutionary journey across time that shows how our
biology has determined human history for the first time. This book will
change how you see the world.
We’re a wonder of evolution, capable of incredible feats. But we’re
also deeply flawed. Our bodies and minds often break, fail, and hinder
us. To be human is to live with this extraordinary contradiction. So,
to understand the course humanity has taken – from prehistoric times
through the age of empire and into the modern era – we must understand
who, and what, we are.
Being Human is history made flesh. From the epidemic that brought
Europe’s peasants freedom, to the health deficiency which gave rise to
the world’s largest criminal organisation, to the cognitive biases that
led to military catastrophes in Crimea and Iraq, we see how our unique
nature shaped our relationships, economies and societies – and,
importantly, how it continues to impact human progress today.
Being Human is history made flesh. It will change the way you see the
world.
We are a wonder of evolution. Powerful yet dextrous, instinctive yet
thoughtful, we are expert communicators and innovators. Our exceptional
abilities have created the civilisation we know today.
But we're also deeply flawed. Our bodies break, choke and fail, whether
we're kings or peasants. Diseases thwart our boldest plans. Our
psychological biases have been at the root of terrible decisions in
both war and peacetime.
This extraordinary contradiction is the essence of what it means to be
human - the sum total of our frailties and our faculties. And history
has played out in the balance between them. Now, for the first time,
Lewis Dartnell tells our story through the lens of this unique,
capricious and fragile nature. He explores how our biology has shaped
our relationships, our societies, our economies and our wars, and how
it continues to challenge and define our progress.
