Awakening to Awe
Awakening to Awe is a self-help meditation on an alternative—and growing—spiritual movement. This is a movement comprised of people who refuse the "quick-fix" model for healing, whether that model entails popping pills, indulging in material comforts, or adhering to doctrinal dogmas. By contrast, the movement about which Schneider writes is composed of people who have developed the capacity to experience the humility and wonder, or in short, awe, of life deeply lived. In particular, this book highlights the stories of people who through the cultivation of awe have transformed their lives. For example, readers will discover how awe transformed the life of an ex-gang member into a beloved ...

Shackletons Kinder
Im Jahr 2068 beginnt das ambitionierteste Projekt der Menschheit: Die Besiedlung des Mondes. Doch kurz nachdem die ersten elf Mitglieder der ersten Mondstation eingetroffen sind, bricht der Kontakt zur Erde ab. Auf sich allein gestellt müssen die Besatzungsmitglieder inmitten der lebensfeindlichen Umgebung überleben. Ihre Isolation wird nach fünfzehn Jahren durch das Auftauchen eines jungen Mannes unterbrochen, der ohne Schutzanzug draußen im Vakuum steht. Die Biologin Dava ist sich sicher, in diesem Fremden ihr während der Schwangerschaft verlorenes Kind zu erkennen. Durch das Auftauchen des Fremden, der sich an nichts erinnern kann und von manchen als feindliches Alien betrachtet wird, treten die latenten Spannungen innerhalb der Besatzung zum Vorschein. Als die Situation zu eskalieren droht, befindet sich plötzlich ein Raumschiff von der Erde im Landeanflug.
The Fossil Chronicles
"With wit and authority, Falk tells the parallel stories of two fossil discoveries that surprised the world, revealing the larger significance of these finds. Her lively recounting combines new historical research with her first-hand involvement in controversial interpretations."—Pat Shipman, author of The Animal Connection and The Man Who Found the Missing Link “An absorbing and engagingly personal account, by a leading participant, of two of the major “brain wars” that have raged along the path to our current understanding of human evolution.”--Ian Tattersall, author of The Fossil Trail and Human Origins “In The Fossil Chronicles, Falk engages us with a ‘tale of two brains’. While navigating the surfaces of these ancient brains, she reveals the convolutions of scientific controversies and how personalities and paleopolitics shape the ways we think about human evolution.”—Nina G. Jablonski, author of Skin: A Natural History

The Shepherd at the Crib and the Cross
In every heart there is a longing to love and to be loved. In The Shepherd at the Crib and the Cross, meet Nissim—a shepherd boy whose name means “miracle” or “wonder.” Nissim’s hope for a Messiah is fulfilled when he encounters the love of the Christ-child at Bethlehem. When Nissim meets that Messiah once again at Calvary, will he be able to offer his gift of love in return?
Mental States
Collecting the work of linguists, psychologists, neuroscientists, archaeologists, artificial intelligence researchers and philosophers this volume presents a richly varied picture of the nature and function of mental states. Starting from questions about the cognitive capacities of the early hominin homo floresiensis, the essays proceed to the role mental representations play in guiding the behaviour of simple organisms and robots, thence to the question of which features of its environment the human brain represents and the extent to which complex cognitive skills such as language acquisition and comprehension are impaired when the brain lacks certain important neural structures. Other papers explore topics ranging from nativism to the presumed constancy of categorization across signed and spoken languages, from the formal representation of metaphor, actions and vague language to philosophical questions about conceptual schemes and colours. Anyone interested in mental states will find much to reward them in this fine volume.
