Everybody knows what it is like to be short of energy, or even full of energy, but what is this stuff that drives our bodies and our minds? Where does it come from, and where does it all go? How does it move our muscles and stir our imaginations? Above all, how can I get some more?  This brilliant book follows the development of our ideas of biological energy, from their origins in the very concept of life itself to the latest research on body clocks and brain energy.  The Energy of Life answers questions like 'How is it possible for me to lift my arm just by willing it?'; 'Why can living things move and dead things not?'; 'Is there a relationship between mental energy and physical energy?'; 'Is plenty of orange juice the best prevention of cancer and heart disease?'; 'Is one girl a fat slob and the next a slim livewire by the accident of metabolism, by having too much or too little thyroid hormone?'; 'Why are there epidemics of obesity in the developed world and of starvation in the developing world?'; 'Why don't diets work?'; 'Are we born shy or bold?' ; 'What are boredom and fatigue for?'; 'Why is it that some people are more creative, productive or energetic than others?'  Brown explains our sexual energy too: what causes us to be aroused, and how sexual arousal is sustained; what drives our motivations and passions and why does biting your partner beforehand lead to better sex?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49573465719057,"sku":"GOR001959129","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49789333012753,"sku":"CIN0002559307G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50341941051665,"sku":"CIN0002559307A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53241193201937,"sku":"GOR002781353","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0002559307.jpg?v=1751003957"},{"product_id":"energy-of-life-book-guy-brown-9780006530473","title":"The Energy of Life","description":"‘A book that lives up to its title – Guy Brown handles an exciting topic with the energy and expertise it deserves.

Human listeners are able to perceptually segregate one sound source from an acoustic mixture, such as a single voice from a mixture of other voices and music at a busy cocktail party. How can we engineer \"machine listening\" systems that achieve this perceptual feat?   Albert Bregman's book Auditory Scene Analysis, published in 1990, drew an analogy between the perception of auditory scenes and visual scenes, and described a coherent framework for understanding the perceptual organization of sound. His account has stimulated much interest in computational studies of hearing. Such studies are motivated in part by the demand for practical sound separation systems, which have many applications including noise-robust automatic speech recognition, hearing prostheses, and automatic music transcription. This emerging field has become known as computational auditory scene analysis (CASA).   Computational Auditory Scene Analysis: Principles, Algorithms, and Applications provides a comprehensive and coherent account of the state of the art in CASA, in terms of the underlying principles, the algorithms and system architectures that are employed, and the potential applications of this exciting new technology. With a Foreword by Bregman, its chapters are written by leading researchers and cover a wide range of topics including:     Estimation of multiple fundamental frequencies Feature-based and model-based approaches to CASA Sound separation based on spatial location Processing for reverberant environments Segregation of speech and musical signals Automatic speech recognition in noisy environments Neural and perceptual modeling of auditory organization   The text is written at a level that will be accessible to graduate students and researchers from related science and engineering disciplines. The extensive bibliography accompanying each chapter will also make this book a valuable reference source. A web site accompanying the text, http:\/\/www.casabook.org, features software tools and sound demonstrations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50029134020881,"sku":"GOR012578013","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50350746403089,"sku":"CIN0471741094G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52150908092689,"sku":"NLS9780471741091","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53108465533201,"sku":"NIN9780471741091","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0471741094.jpg?v=1751261037"},{"product_id":"look-up-to-see-what-the-weather-will-be-book-guy-brown-9781938492433","title":"Look Up to See What the Weather Will Be","description":"Go behind the scenes of weather forecasting with TV meteorologist Guy Brown  Guy shares his weather journal to show you exactly what weather forecasting is like--from reading satellite images at the studio, to going on location in inclement weather conditions.
