Hjertet by Diana M. Røpcke (
faculty profile), a
researcher at Aarhus University, is her Danish-language accessibly-written academic essay on science of the
and research into how it works, in the Tænkepauser ("Reflections", beginning to become available in English translation
on their webpage here) series of 60-page shorts designed to provide a 60-minute introduction to assorted cultural/intellectual ideas for laypersons, free courtesy of the Aarhus University Press in Denmark.
This is the current offering in their generous freebie program which gives the latest one away as a freebie, which has now changed to a term of just for one week after publication.
Currently free, probably just for the next couple of days @ the
Aarhus University Press (DRM-free ePub & Mobi available worldwide, scroll down and expand where it says "Om bogen" to download the MP3)
And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat… ish) free ebook thread of the day.
Because even though the program has been cut back somewhat, it's still very nifty that the AUP continues to generously give away both the e-books and the audiobooks in their layperson-accessible introductory academic topics edutainment series for the benefit of those interested in learning more (or just practicing their language-learning skills).
Enjoy!
Beskrivelse på dansk
Nogle ♥ New York, andre ♥ Jesus eller konen. Vi ved selvfølgelig godt, at følelserne sidder i hjernen, hvis vi bruger hovedet. Men følger vi vores ♥, har vi stadig følelsen af, at kærligheden sidder i brystet. Det er nok derfor, at Anne Linnet synger, at vores ♥ kan gå i tusind stykker - og ikke vores hjerne. Eller tyktarm for den sags skyld. Ifølge Diana M. Røpke, ♥forsker ved Aarhus Universitet med hjernen på rette sted, er det endda ikke bare et godt refræn, men også videnskab. Vi kan rent faktisk dø en grusom ♥død af ♥sorg. Så lidt sandt taler hjertet. Når man spørger hjernen.
