Love, one of the most profound of human emotions, love that
accompanies us from puberty to old age, love that follows us from
ancient times to modern, from ancient writings, through the Bible
and the texts of medieval scribes to modern day books and movies.
Through the millennia love has lost none of its secrecy, charm,
attractiveness, craziness, even in this digital age, when we are
overwhelmed by information. But what is love? Where does this
emotion originate? Are we humans the only living beings feeling
this emotion? Can love be explained by some chemical reactions in
our brains? Is love just a trick of nature or is love some kind of
higher feeling? We do not have definite answers to any of these
questions, nevertheless, neuroscience, behavioral science and
others have provided us with some, at least partial answers. We
know today a great deal more than ever before about what is
happening in the brain when we are madly in love. We understand why
our hearts beat faster when we see the person we love, we know why
we sweat and why we feel anxious when the loved one is away from
us, and we have some ideas about how feelings of attachment form in
the brain. This book guides you through the complicated labyrinth
of genes, molecules and brain cells that are involved in the
feelings of love, attachment, affection, and also simple sexual
reproduction.

Gabriel's Passion is a historic novel about the Franciscan monk in
love with the science and his childhood friend, beautiful Lucretia,
wife of the nobleman. Story is set in the 16. century, the period
when Rome was hotbed of sin. For papal throne people paid, bribed
and even killed. Diminished church authority was kept together by
the inquisition, set up in time when our heroes grew up in the
northern Italy. At the same time, this was the time of
enlightenment and reformation. In Saxony, Martin Luther was born,
new universities were established in European cities. Gabriel is a
true child of his time. Illegitimate son, he is thorn from his
young age between love for woman and love for God, whom he also
challenges by his desire for knowledge. Night by night in the
catacombs of the cathedral Gabriel dissects corpses to learn more
about human body. He risks the favor of his superiors, and tests
the patience of the inquisition, that does not avoid their town...
