A Sleepfaring
Why do we sleep? Are we sleeping enough? How can we tackle sleep problems? Jim Horne finds answers to these questions and many more in Sleepfaring, a journey through the science and the secrets of sleep He reveals what goes on in our brains during sleep, and also gives some hints from the latest sleep research that may just help you get a better night's rest In recent years, understanding sleep has become increasingly important, as people work longer hours, styles of working have altered, and the separation between workplace and home is being reduced by cell phones and the internet Horne
draws on the latest research to reveal what science has discovered about sleep Nor does Horne avoid
controversial topics; challenging, for example, the conventional wisdom on the amount of sleep we actually need For anyone wishing to know more about the many mysterious processes that begin when
we close our eyes each night, Sleepfaring offers a wealth of insight and information
B Dreaming
What is dreaming? Why are dreams so strange and why are they so hard to remember? Through this fascinating book, Harvard researcher Allan Hobson offers an intriguing look at our nightly journey through the world of dreams He describes how the theory of dreaming has advanced dramatically We have learned that, in dreaming, some areas of the brain are very active - the visual and auditory centres, for instance - while others are completely shut down, including the centres for self-awareness, logic, and memory Thus we can have visually vivid dreams, but be utterly unaware that the sequence of events or localities may be bizarre and, quite often, impossible And because the memory centre is inactive, we don't remember the dream at all, unless we wake up while it is in progress With special boxed features that highlight intriguing questions - Do we dream in colour? (yes), Do animals dream? (probably) - Dreaming offers a cutting-edge account of the most mysterious area of our mental life
C Dreamland
Reporter Randall provides a brisk tour of sleep research and what it means for individuals hoping to feel well rested The author engaged with sleep research in part because of his sleep walking Researching the world of sleep is obviously difficult because sleeping subjects selected for studies rarely remember anything specific Nonetheless, Randall interviewed sleep researchers and read academic papers to learn what he could from those who devote their careers to the science of sleep The book is not a continuous narrative but rather a loose progression of chapters about different sleep-
Page 4 of 6
Trang 5related issues For example, Randall explains how the invention of electricity led to countless cases of sleep deprivation; the lack of utter darkness after sunset is often the enemy of sound sleep He also emphasises the too-often neglected common-sense realisation that sleep is no void; rather, it is perhaps one third of the puzzle of living well

ANTARCTIC WEATHER
The most extreme weather conditions experienced in Antarctica are associated with blizzards These are simply strong winds with falling snow (62) , More commonly, snow that is picked up and pushed along the ground by the wind Blizzards may last for days at (63)
