Florence: Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon awakes in a hospital bed with no recollection of where he is or how he got there. Nor can he explain the origin of the macabre object found hidden in his belongings.
A threat to his life will propel him and a young doctor, Sienna Brooks, into a breakneck chase across the city. Only Langdon’s knowledge of the hidden passageways and ancient secret that lie behind its historic facade can save them from the clutches of their unknown pursuers.
With only a few lines from Dante’s Inferno to guide them, they must decipher a sequence of codes buried deep within some of the Renaissance’s most celebrated artworks to find the answers to a puzzle which may, or may not, help them save the world from a terrifying threat. . .

لماذا ننام
0170.00 DHكتاب مُخيف جدًا. يُمكن تلخيصه في التالي: النوم ضروري جدًا، أكثر مما كنت تتصوّر، الأمر مُثبت علميًا، ما لم تأخذ النّوم على محمل الجد فإن حياتك وحيوات من حولك في خطر. توقف وأعد النظر في ساعات نومك فالأمر جلل ويحتاج منك كامل تركيزك.
الكاتب هو ماثيو والكر بروفيسور علم الأعصاب في جامعة بيركلي، يعتمد في هذا الكتاب بشكل أساسي على الأبحاث التي قام بها هو نفسه أو مجموعة من المُختصّين في “علم النوم” والذي حقّق تقدّما كبيرًا خلال العقدين الماضيين.
ينقسم الكتاب إلى 4 أقسام، خُصّص القسم الأول منه للتعريف بماهية النوم وأنواعه، التاريخ البيولوجي/التطوري للنوم (هل تنام الحيوانات أيضا وكيف، متى ظهر النوم وما إلى ذلك)، إضافة إلى تغير طبيعة نوم الإنسان عبر مُختلف مراحل حياته. القسم الثاني (وربما هو القسم الأكثر إثارة وتخويفا) يُجيب على سؤال “لماذا يجب علينا أن ننام” ويستعرض عواقب عدم حصولك على ما يكفي من النوم كل ليلة، قبل أن يُعرّج بك في القسم الثالث إلى عالم الأحلام، للإجابة على سؤال كيف نحلم ولماذا، وهل تلعب الأحلام دورًا مُهمّا في دورة حياة المعلومات في عقولنا، أم أنه مجرد أمر جانبي. قبل أن يختم الكتاب بفصل حول عواقب الاستهتار بالنوم على مُستوى المُجتمعات (وليس الأفراد فقط). أما إن كنت تبحث عن نصائح لنوم صحّي أكثر، فستجد ضالتك في مُلحق آخر الكتاب حول أساسيات النوم الصحي. -
