Love, Wisdom, and God
Morality, as secularists know, does not require a deity. Blind faith, as atheists know, often leads to hatred, violence and war. Taking myth and scripture as literal accounts of history, as scientists know, borders on the nonsensical. If religion is to be credible for modern, educated, sophisticated people, there has to be more. And there is. In LOVE, WISDOM, AND GOD, Dr. Andrew Cort demonstrates that in their deepest and most important sense, these are internal, psychological stories. Through allegory and symbol they weave the tale of a soul that has descended into material life and must now do the necessary work to find its way home again. This inner journey, the basis for all 'Sacred Quest' legends, has been called "Persephone's Return to Olympus," "The Return to the Promised Land," "The Quest for the Holy Grail," and many other names. In other words, Mythology and Scripture can be read as manuals for spiritual initiation. When this is understood: The underlying unity of all our traditions is revealed. The atheist objection that the stories are irrational becomes irrelevant. The justification for religious hatred and war disappears.
The American Psyche in Search of Its Soul
Andrew Cort brings new insights and fresh approaches to the economic crash, the role of science and technology, religion and religious tolerance in America, the causes of violence, the emptiness of pop culture, the way we play politics with the environment, and the degrading standardization of education and so much of our national life. But in every case he offers hope and promise for a better, safer, more prosperous, and more meaningful future for ourselves and our children.
Statistical Parametric Mapping: The Analysis of Functional Brain Images
In an age where the amount of data collected from brain imaging is increasing constantly, it is of critical importance to analyse those data within an accepted framework to ensure proper integration and comparison of the information collected. This book describes the ideas and procedures that underlie the analysis of signals produced by the brain. The aim is to understand how the brain works, in terms of its functional architecture and dynamics. This book provides the background and methodology for the analysis of all types of brain imaging data, from functional magnetic resonance imaging to magnetoencephalography. Critically, Statistical Parametric Mapping provides a widely accepted concept...
To Make Men Free
When Abraham Lincoln helped create the Republican Party on the eve of the Civil War, his goal was to promote economic opportunity for all Americans, not just the slaveholding Southern planters who steered national politics. Yet, despite the egalitarian dream at the heart of its founding, the Republican Party quickly became mired in a fundamental identity crisis. Would it be the party of democratic ideals? Or would it be the party of moneyed interests? In the century and a half since, Republicans have vacillated between these two poles, with dire economic, political, and moral repercussions for the entire nation. In To Make Men Free, celebrated historian Heather Cox Richardson traces the shif...
Regarding the Dead
A key publication on the British Museum's approach to the ethical issues surrounding the inclusion of human remains in museum collections and possible solutions to the dilemmas relating to their curation, storage, access management and display.
Basketball Sports Medicine and Science
This book is designed as a comprehensive educational resource not only for basketball medical caregivers and scientists but for all basketball personnel. Written by a multidisciplinary team of leading experts in their fields, it provides information and guidance on injury prevention, injury management, and rehabilitation for physicians, physical therapists, athletic trainers, rehabilitation specialists, conditioning trainers, and coaches. All commonly encountered injuries and a variety of situations and scenarios specific to basketball are covered with the aid of more than 200 color photos and illustrations. Basketball Sports Medicine and Science is published in collaboration with ESSKA and will represent a superb, comprehensive educational resource. It is further hoped that the book will serve as a link between the different disciplines and modalities involved in basketball care, creating a common language and improving communication within the team staff and environment.
The Ideal Problem Solver
Provocative, challenging, and fun, The Ideal Problem Solver offers a sound, methodical approach for resolving problems based on the IDEAL (Identify, Define, Explore, Act, Look) model. The authors suggest new strategies for enhancing creativity, improving memory, criticizing ideas and generating alternatives, and communicating more effectively with a wider range of people. Using the results of laboratory research previously available only in a piece-meal fashion or in scientific journals, Bransford and Stein discuss such issues as Teaming new information, overcoming blocks to creativity, and viewing problems from a variety of perspectives.
