On the Origin of Species (1859) by Charles Darwin is a work of scientific literature considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. The book introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection, backed by a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. The evidence was gathered on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and the author’s subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation.

Brigit Strawbridge Howard was shocked the day she realized she knew more about the French Revolution than she did about her native trees. And birds. And wildflowers. And bees.

But that day was also the start of a journey, one filled with silver birches and hairy-footed flower bees, skylarks, and rosebay willow herb, and the joy that comes with deepening one’s relationship with place.

Nachdem sich die moderne Hirnforschung in den letzten zwanzig Jahren rasant entwickelte, hat auch das Interesse an ihren Resultaten zugenommen. Was will der Mensch? Entscheidet er selbst? Oder ist er nur das Opfer chemischer und neuronaler Affekte? Das sind spannende Fragen, besonders für Werbung und Kommunikation. Wie nimmt der Mensch wahr? Und vor allem: Was nimmt er auf? Werner T. Fuchs beschäftigt sich seit Jahren mit der Umsetzung moderner Hirnforschung ins Marketing. Seine These - inzwischen von der Hirnforschung untermauert - lautet: Der Mensch lernt durch Geschichten. Wer diese Erkenntnis in die Praxis einfließen lässt, wird sein Gegenüber besser erreichen. Fuchs hat zwölf leicht zu verstehende, unterhaltsame "Werkzeuge" kreiert, die helfen, Kommunikation grundsätzlich neu zu verstehen und auf die Arbeitsweise des Gehirns abzustimmen.
