"I can't believe I just said that." "What possessed me to do that?" "What's wrong with me?" We're constantly seeking answers to these fundamental human questions, and now, science has the answers. Clever, relatable, and revealing, this eye-opening narrative from Indiana University School of Medicine professor Bill Sullivan explores why we do the things we do through the lens of genetics, microbiology, psychology, neurology, and family history. From what we love (and hate) to eat and who we vote for in political elections to when we lose our virginity and why some people find drugs so addicting, this illuminating book uses the latest scientific research to unveil the secrets of what makes us tick. Filled with fascinating insights--including how experiences that haunted our grandparents echo in our DNA, why the bacteria in our guts mess with our minds, and whether there really is a "murder gene"--this revolutionary book explains the hidden forces shaping who we are, pointing us on a path to how we might become our best selves.

"Forest Hills is a book that follows the 20th century history of tennis and art, confusing and conflating their two stories in order to create a new kind of history. Once the center of tennis in America Forest Hills is now an almost forgotten world, a lost civilization of the sport. Bill Sullivan's book uses photography and image making to tell the story of it's rise and fall parallelling it's history with that of art and design. The book follows the history of the site and the stadium as it evolved through the various changes to its surfaces and trappings to its ultimate end. Functioning as an ahistorical/historical document, Forest Hills is a story about a real place as well as a long meditation on how this place and it's elements may have been viewed by people in the past over time."--Publisher's website.

De uma voz nova e espirituosa na ciência popular, surge um olhar inteligente e transformador sobre o que faz de nós, nós. De uma voz nova e espirituosa na ciência popular, surge um olhar inteligente e transformador sobre o que faz de nós, nós. Porque nos sentimos atraídos por um determinado «tipo»? Porque é que algumas pessoas são madrugadoras? Porque votamos em quem votamos? «Não acredito que acabei de dizer isso.» «O que me fez fazer isto?» «O que há de errado comigo?» Estamos permanentemente à procura de respostas para questões humanas fundamentais como estas, e agora a ciência já as pode dar. Os alimentos que apreciamos, as pessoas que amamos, as emoções que sentimos e as crenças que possuímos podem ser rastreadas até ao nosso ADN. Este livro é ciência popular no seu melhor e descreve numa linguagem acessível como a genética, a microbiologia e a psicologia trabalham juntas para influenciar a nossa personalidade e as nossas ações. Misturando pesquisas de ponta e humor, Prazer em Conhecer-me está repleto de ideias fascinantes que mostram quem realmente somos e como nos podemos tornar melhores. Os elogios da crítica: «Uma viagem intensa pela biologia humana.» - Sharon Moalem, autor de O Gene Inteligente «Impregnado com a voz espirituosa de Bill Sullivan, este livro expõe-nos como as máquinas biológicas que realmente somos.» - Dra. Allana Collen, autora de 10% Humanos

Eleven Miles South of Half Moon Bay is a shout of joy and a howl of grief. It is a single golden instant and all eternity. It is a story mundane as boys playing marbles yet vast as life and death. It is the story of two free spirits: cousins for a mortal moment, brothers forever.

Eleven Miles South of Half Moon Bay

He is a most powerful extradimentional being that has been around for millions of years. The ultimate in beauty, wisdom and power, he is now pitted against one Thomas Hankins and those like him, in the End of Days. Between the beginnings of this powerful being and his battle with man, many questions are answered in this epic drama. Questions like, why does man exist, why you were born, what are UFOs, why do good people suffer bad things and what is the ultimate destiny of all things.

IN OUR IMAGE, After our Likeness

A tour diary of life on the road with one of Minnesota’s greatest bands—with nearly 100 never-before-seen photographs “Don’t bore us, get to the chorus” is Bill Sullivan’s motto, which will come as no surprise to anyone who opens Lemon Jail. A raucous tour diary of rock ’n’ roll in the 1980s, Sullivan’s book puts us in the van with the Replacements in the early years. Barreling down the highway to the next show through quiet nights and hightailing it out of scandalized college towns, Sullivan—the young and reckless roadie—is in the middle of the joy and chaos, trying to get the band on stage and the crowd off it and knowing when to jump in and cover Alice Cooper. Lemon Jail shows what it’s like to keep the band on the road and the wheels on the van—and when to just close your eyes and hit the gas. That first van, dubbed the Lemon Jail by Bill, takes the now legendary Replacements from a south Minneapolis basement to dive bars and iconic rock clubs to college parties and eventually an international stage. It’s not a straight shot or a smooth ride, and there’s never a dull moment, whether Bob Stinson is setting a record for the quickest ejection from CBGB in NYC or hiding White Castle sliders around a hotel room or whether Paul Westerberg is sneaking gear out of a hostile venue or saving Bill’s life at a brothel in New Jersey. With growing fame (and new vans) come tours with REM and X (what happens when the audience isn’t allowed to stand?), Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the Violent Femmes (against their will), and Saturday Night Live, where the band’s televised antics earn the edict You’ll never play on NBC again. Fast forward: You’ll never play Washington, D.C., again. Or Moorhead. Hiding in fans’ backyards while the police search the streets and pelted with canned goods at a Kent State food drive, the Replacements hit rough patches along with sweet spots, and Lemon Jail reveals the grit and glory both onstage and off, all told in the irrepressible, full-throttle style that makes Bill Sullivan an irresistible guide on this once-in-a-lifetime road trip with a band on the make.
