A Talent for Friendship
Professor John Terrell argues that the ability to make friends is an evolved human trait not unlike our ability to walk upright on two legs or our capacity for speech and complex abstract reasoning. Terrell charts how this trait has evolved by investigating two unique functions of the human brain: the ability to remake the outside world to suit our collective needs, and our capacity to escape into our own inner thoughts and imagine how things might and ought to be.
November
November is a fast-moving story of a talented young beautiful woman as she runs from a terrorist that wants her dead.

Major US cities are in the terror plan with the ultimate consequence for their population. November incorporates sorrow, murder, humor, and intrigue. A page turner.
Zimpel
This book chronicles the extraordinary journey of a courageous family who struggled through the 1848-49 Hungarian Revolution. A strong Christian faith leads them to opportunities outside their native country. Shifting residence to the eastern European city of Constantinople, the epicenter of the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire, it opens up new horizons and hope for the three children of David and Anna Lena Zimpel.After several years growing up in Constantinople, the siblings are sent abroad, two of them to Lon- don, and the youngest child to Aberdeen. Put into the care of church missionaries, they gain new life skills before heading down to Australia where they make good in their lives, taking on responsible positions in the community.One of them, William Zimpel, ends up in Perth, becoming one of the most successful furniture makers and retailers in Western Australia's history. The eldest child, Clara, was recruited from England as a potential matron at Perth's colonial hospital, while the youngest sibling Adolph becomes a doctor, working in New Zealand and Australia.
Understanding the Human Mind
Drawing on current research in anthropology, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and the humanities, Understanding the Human Mind explores how and why we, as humans, find it so easy to believe we are right—even when we are outright wrong. Humans live out their own lives effectively trapped in their own mind and, despite being exceptional survivors and a highly social species, our inner mental world is often misaligned with reality. In order to understand why, John Edward Terrell and Gabriel Stowe Terrell suggest current dual-process models of the mind overlook our mind’s most decisive and unpredictable mode: creativity. Using a three-dimensional model of the mind, the authors examine the human struggle to stay in touch with reality—how we succeed, how we fail, and how winning this struggle is key to our survival in an age of mounting social problems of our own making. Using news stories of logic-defying behavior, analogies to famous fictitious characters, and analysis of evolutionary and cognitive psychology theory, this fascinating account of how the mind works is a must-read for all interested in anthropology and cognitive psychology.
Prehistory in the Pacific Islands
How, asks John Terrell in this richly illustrated and original book, can we best account for the remarkable diversity of the Pacific Islanders in biology, language, and custom? Traditionally scholars have recognized a simple racial division between Polynesians, Micronesians, Melanesians, Australians, and South-east Asians: peoples allegedly differing in physical appearance, temperament, achievements, and perhaps even intelligence. Terrell shows that such simple divisions do not fit the known facts and provide little more than a crude, static picture of human diversity.
