Where do our thoughts come from? Do we all see the same blue? And how much is our eye really like a camera? The mind is the tool that sets humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom, and the most crucial part of our very being – but what actually is it? From trying to decide whether or not we’re robots, understanding why some people commit acts of violence, to figuring out the art of persuasion; this essential guide to the inner workings of our minds explores the questions we really want to know the answers to. Making the complex comprehensible, this informative book provides a new insight into how our minds work and the role they play in modern life. Whether it’s pondering over why you’re usually right about everything, or discovering colour; Man vs Mind shows that you don’t need to be a psychologist to understand more about what’s going on up there!

Detective Maier has a new case. This time it is a cold case: investigating the death of Julia Rendel's father, an East German culture attaché who was killed near a fabled CIA airbase in central Laos in 1976. But before the detective can set off, his client is kidnapped right out of his arms. Maier follows Julia's trail to the Laotian capital Vientiane, where he learns different parties, including his missing client, are searching for a legendary CIA file crammed with Cold War secrets. The real prize, however, is the file's author: someone codenamed Weltmeister, a former US and Vietnamese spy and assassin no one has seen for a quarter century. Racing against time, Maier needs to dig deep into the past - including his own - in order to make sense of the present. The second book in Tom Vater's Detective Maier Mysteries series, The Man With The Golden Mind is an action-packed thriller with plenty of sex, drugs, assassinations and double-crosses. This book contains graphic violence and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.

Although a responsible and welcome critical literature in the social sciences has in recent years been measuring the human costs of urban renewal and environmental degradation, telling the designer what to avoid does not necessarily enlighten him about what to do. The designers too have been transforming their attitudes, moving away from the rhetorical toward the socially aware and the scientific. The two groups are readier to meet now than ever before, and if they do so in the ways put forth in this book - with man in mind - then we will be better able to bring our environmental technologies into human service. With Man in Mind is not, however a handbook or manual of techniques, ready-made; it is instead an argument for changing the terms of our discourse about man and environment so that we can do interdisciplinary research on questions that matter. With the questioning of the ideas in this book, collaboration may finally begin.
