In 2010, Live Wire won the world's most lucrative crime fiction award, the RBA Prize for Crime Writing worth €125,000. [1] Plot summary [ edit ] Also missing from this book was Kelly's "short story" about the unprofessional and self-centered stunt that she pulled in 2016 when she "went missing" from Live after her former co-host Michael Strahan announced he was moving to Good Morning America. You will never think about your brain in the same way again. The brain is often portrayed as an organ with different regions dedicated to specific tasks. But that textbook model is wrong. The brain is a dynamic system, constantly modifying its own circuitry to match the demands of the environment and the body in which it finds itself. If you were to zoom into the living, microscopic cosmos inside the skull, you would witness tentacle-like extensions grasping, bumping, sensing, searching for the right connections to establish or forego, like denizens of a country establishing friendships, marriages, neighbourhoods, political parties, vendettas, and social networks. It's a mysterious kind of computational material, an organic three-dimensional textile that adjusts itself to operate with maximum efficiency.

I was in a constant state of having my jaw on a floor, as this completely changed my way of perceiving what I have inside my head. I was really excited to read this book. I have previously read Eagleman’s ‘The Brain’ and enjoyed his TV show in the same subject. Since first learning of plasticity during neurophysiology lectures at university I have been fascinated by the brain’s ability to adapt.

From the best-selling author of Incognito and Sum comes a revelatory portrait of the human brain based on the most recent scientific discoveries about how it unceasingly adapts, re-creates, and formulates new ways of understanding the world we live in. Eagleman does it again! This book was such a rewarding experience. The pacing was great, and he didn't get bogged down in the technical details that sometimes make this particular subject matter unapproachable to many. Not only did it have a thorough consolidation of many recent discoveries in neuroscience, but I was pleasantly surprised with a few new hypotheses to which I hadn't yet been exposed.With masterful storytelling, lucid analogies and thought-provoking new ideas, "Livewired" is a mind-expanding masterpiece of popular science. It's also one of the most hopeful books I've ever read, particularly needful in these uncertain times. Read it to renew your faith in not just the human spirit, but also to appreciate the gifts of your own miraculous brain. Missing from this book was praise for her mentor Regis Philbin, who was instrumental in helping her jumpstart and catapult her career.

Ripa runs through wordy explanations of her marriage, childbirth, and her surprisingly successful career. There is never enough depth to satisfy. She also talks about sex quite a bit (odd for someone married for so long, is there something she's hiding?) and isn't afraid to use more R-rated language than she does on TV. I thought she was going to talk about her experience on the show. Nope. She mostly focused on her life before she got the "Live with Regis and Kelly" hosting gig and a little bit about her first few months there, but NOTHING ELSE. We know her from the show so to leave it out nearly completely was a very bizarre, intentional and glaring omission. I also would have liked to read some "short stories" about Kelly's behind-the-scenes moments at "All My Children" and "Live". The magic of the brain is not found in the parts it's made of but in the way those parts unceasingly reweave themselves in an electric living fabric. And there is no more accomplished and accessible guide than renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman to help us understand the nature and changing texture of that fabric. With his hallmark clarity and enthusiasm he reveals the myriad ways that the brain absorbs experience: developing, redeploying, organizing, and arranging the data it receives from the body's own absorption of external stimuli, which enables us to gain the skills, the facilities, and the practices that make us who we are. worked in the travel industry. He now lives in New Jersey with his wife, Anne Armstrong-Coben MD, a pediatrician, and their four children.Live Wire is a 2011 mystery/ thriller novel by American writer, Harlan Coben.
