"Psychology professor Taryn Landry had one mission since losing her sister in the Long Acre tragedy thirteen years ago-design research and find answers. However, after ruining her first study on school shooters by letting her emotions get the best of her, she lost her funding and had to put that dream aside. When a surprise grant comes through and the dean requires her to tackle the research again, Taryn knows this is her last shot to accomplish her mission. If she fails, she doesn't just lose her job, she'll break the promise she made to her sister. But this research means reaching out to the families of the shooters, including the man she never thought she'd talk to again-Shaw Miller, former friend and older brother of the boy who murdered her sister. Former Olympic hopeful Shaw Miller just wants to be someone else. After spending over a decade dealing with the media, his own anger, and the fallout from his brother's rampage, Shaw is trying to start a new life, opening up an extreme gym and using a newname. So when Taryn wants to interview him, he refuses. But Taryn won't take no for an answer. If they can't talk it out, they'll sweat it out, and she'll wear him down to get the research she needs. But when late night sessions turn steamy, their guardsstart to fall. Taryn gets the information she thought she wanted, but along with it, finds something completely unexpected-the Shaw she used to know, the one she used to love. And now it's up to her to decide what kind of future they can find together...if they can ever let go of the past"-- Twelve years ago, tragedy struck a sleepy Texas town.

An intimate history of the lost art of the psychedelic light showThe latest volume in Four Corners’ Irregulars series on forgotten and fascinating subcultures of British visual history, Wheels of Light charts the history of light-show art in Britain from the 1970s on. Emerging from avant-garde art performances of the 1960s, light shows became an ultra-hip accompaniment at gigs and clubs in the 1970s. Swirling colored oils and kaleidoscopic patterns were projected across bands and venues, while 360-degree painted "panorama wheels" would slowly rotate in projectors, showing only a section of the image at any one time. This book brings together images and the panorama wheels made by key projection companies that sprang up in the UK during this time, including Optikinetics, Pluto and Orion, and tells their story.

Max Peiffer Watenphul (1896-1976) è una figura singolare nel panorama artistico europeo del Novecento. Attraverso dipinti, acquerelli, fotografie e materiali d'archivio, il volume accompagna il lettore lungo l'intero arco della sua produzione, mettendo in luce la coerenza e l'evoluzione di una ricerca che trova nella pittura il suo punto di continuità: dalle prime prove giovanili agli anni della formazione, dai paesaggi italiani alla stagione veneziana del secondo dopoguerra. I saggi a cura di Gregor H. Lersch, Michael Semff e Riccardo Salvatori, insieme a un ampio corredo iconografico, rendono questo volume un valido strumento per la riscoperta di un artista importante e ancora troppo poco conosciuto. Il catalogo bilingue è pubblicato in occasione della mostra "Max Peiffer Watenphul. Pittore del Bauhaus / Painter of the Bauhaus" (21 aprile - 23 agosto 2026), organizzata dalla Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Roma e dalla Fondazione Max Peiffer Watenphul ETS.

The Content Your heart beats faster as you watch a tarantula crawl on James Bond's chest in the movie Dr No, your hands sweat and your skin tingles under the spider's legs. You feel scared, tense, and finally relieved when Bond manages to escape the danger. We are essentially empathic. But what is empathy? How does your brain enable you to feel so much of what 007 is feeling? How do you connect with people in real life, people you love or even strangers? In this book, you will visit leading labs to find your own answers. The journey starts where 'mirror neurons' were discovered. The door of a lab in Parma, Italy, opens to reveal that your motor system not only controls your own body - it becomes automatically activated each time you see others move. A little later, you lie down on a bed and slowly move into the bore of a brain scanner in Marseille, becoming a subject in an experiment that will show how your own sensations and emotions are automatically triggered while you witness those of others. These experiments unravel the mirror in our brain that lets our own actions, sensations and emotions resonate with those of Bond and the people around us. By sharing their inner lives, we connect with them. We are hard-wired for empathy. By looking at autistic individuals and psychopathic criminals, by comparing men and women, by exploring empathy for robots and enemies, this book explores the multifaceted nature of empathy and evidences both its power and limits. Science begins to reveal the wisdom of why so many of the world's religions command "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Praise If anyone can write about the brain mechanisms of empathy, Keysers is the man. A page turning read. A grand perspective on many aspects of the empathic brain. He explains why we should re-think morality, education and ethics in light of the way we have evolved to resonate with each other. A book ahead of the game. A great authoritative read. (Prof. Bruce Hood, 2011 Royal Institution Christmas Lecturer, Bristol University for The Psychologist) Christian Keysers has the combined skills of a hard-core animal neuroscientists, the talents of a human brain imager, and the sophistication of a theoretician. This book takes us on a critical journey of the discovery of mirror neurons of which he was a part, our understanding of empathy, imitation, and language. Though many have written about mirror neurons, this book outshines them all. If you want an honest account of mirror neurons, how they work, and what we can learn from them, read Keysers' book (Prof. Mark Hauser, Harvard University, bestselling author of 'Moral Minds'). A masterful description of how mirror neurons turn us into social beings (Prof. Dick Swaab, bestselling author of 'We are our brain'). About the Author Dr Christian Keysers' work has been seminal for the scientific study of empathy. Born in 1973, his work has led to publications in the most prominent scientific journals and has made him one of the youngest people to attain the rank of Full Professor. His capacity to explain his science to the wider audience earned him the Marie Curie Excellence Award. He now leads a lab together with his wife at the prestigious Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience of the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam. He is a Full Professor at the UMCG and a frequent Visiting Professor at the California Institute of Technology. Outside of the laboratory, his wife Valeria and his daughter Julia are teaching him why empathy is such a gift.
