Glamour meets Scientific American in this sexy, science-inspired book that answers questions about what's really going on when we fall in love...or lust.

• Can you tell a man has daddy potential from his face alone?
• Why are high heels sexy?
• Why are you sometimes drawn to macho guys even if they’re not your type?

• Why do you turn your head to the right when you kiss?

Based on the latest research in biology, evolutionary psychology, anthropology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes? explains the science behind attraction.  What goes on that you’re not even aware of?  Viewed through the lens of science and instinct, your love life looks completely different.


Success

How did J.K. Rowling, Michael Bloomberg, Jeffrey Bezos, and David Sedaris get where they are today - and how can you get the same edge?

Success is a collection of insights from more than 400 remarkably successful people in all fields - including business, politics, entertainment, and the arts. Here are quotes and passages from J.K. Rowling and Federico Fellini on getting started, and Steve Jobs and Tiger Woods on passion;  George Lucas and Bill Clinton on goals, Katie Couric and George Foreman on competition, and Edmund Hillary and Carly Fiorina on leadership. They share one crucial belief: Success is possible as long as there's passion.

Technomanifestos
[coauthored under pen name Adam Brate]

The Information Revolution is changing our world -- but is it a change for the better? Will advances in computer technology strengthen democratic values or destroy them? Enhance personal freedom or enslave us? Solve the world's problems or create new ones?

Technomanifestos sets out to answer these questions by investigating the primary sources—the seminal but seldom-read texts that form the philosophical foundation of the Digital Age. From artificial intelligence to nanotechnology, cybernetics to the World Wide Web, they chart a fascinating course through the history of ideas.

The book explores the triumphs and tragedies of such visionaries as Norbert Wiener, Doug Engelbart, Ted Nelson, Richard Stallman, and K. Eric Drexler. They emerge as a lively group of radical thinkers, deeply committed to civil liberties, personal empowerment, and participatory democracy.

 


Making the Cisco Connection
[coauthored under pen name Adam Brate]

Cisco Systems is one of the most valuable companies in the world, yet few know very much about it.

Making the Cisco Connection… is a clear and comprehensive corporate history. There's its meteoric rise at the cusp of the online age, when [founders] Bosack and Lerner initially devised the electronic router that is now the backbone of the Internet. There's the power struggle with a venture capitalist that ousted this once-married duo, the marketing savvy that ultimately gave their product an 80 percent market share, the acquisition strategy that has brought both allies and competitors into the fold, the culture that celebrates cooperation and fair play, the ongoing drive to become an even broader communication gateway….--Howard Rothman
