Dark Matter of the Mind
Author: Daniel L. Everett
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022652678X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 395
Book Description
Is it in our nature to be altruistic, or evil, to make art, use tools, or create language? Is it in our nature to think in any particular way? For Daniel L. Everett, the answer is a resounding no: it isn’t in our nature to do any of these things because human nature does not exist—at least not as we usually think of it. Flying in the face of major trends in Evolutionary Psychology and related fields, he offers a provocative and compelling argument in this book that the only thing humans are hardwired for is freedom: freedom from evolutionary instinct and freedom to adapt to a variety of environmental and cultural contexts. Everett sketches a blank-slate picture of human cognition that focuses not on what is in the mind but, rather, what the mind is in—namely, culture. He draws on years of field research among the Amazonian people of the Pirahã in order to carefully scrutinize various theories of cognitive instinct, including Noam Chomsky’s foundational concept of universal grammar, Freud’s notions of unconscious forces, Adolf Bastian’s psychic unity of mankind, and works on massive modularity by evolutionary psychologists such as Leda Cosmides, John Tooby, Jerry Fodor, and Steven Pinker. Illuminating unique characteristics of the Pirahã language, he demonstrates just how differently various cultures can make us think and how vital culture is to our cognitive flexibility. Outlining the ways culture and individual psychology operate symbiotically, he posits a Buddhist-like conception of the cultural self as a set of experiences united by various apperceptions, episodic memories, ranked values, knowledge structures, and social roles—and not, in any shape or form, biological instinct. The result is fascinating portrait of the “dark matter of the mind,” one that shows that our greatest evolutionary adaptation is adaptability itself.

The Late Great United States
Author: Mark Hitchcock
Publisher: Multnomah
ISBN: 1601421737
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Is it possible the United States, a superpower without peer in history, might not be a key player as the world makes its way down the road to the Battle of Armageddon? This is the central question explored by prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock in The Late Great United States, a fascinating behind-the-headlines look at numerous current events and how they relate to what the Bible says about the last days. Americans are accustomed to seeing their country center stage as a world power, but as Hitchcock carefully details, this may not be the case in the final scene. Based on extensive research of the Bible and other sources, The Late Great United States provides compelling and often surprising answers to questions like these: •Does the Bible say anything about America in the last days? •How could the U.S. fit into God’s prophetic plan? •Will America survive? •Might the anti-Christ come from America? •Could America’s addiction to oil be her undoing? •Will America be destroyed by a nuclear attack? •Could America fall from within as a result of moral corruption? •Is America still a “blessed” nation? •How should individual Christians respond to a world in chaos? Regardless of America's final fate and the outcome of dire events at the end of the age, Hitchcock urges us to find our hope in a God who will not forsake us–no matter what cataclysms we experience on earth.

The Complete Works of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume 35
Author: Spurgeon, Charles
Publisher: Delmarva Publications, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 977
Book Description
Volume 35 Sermons 2062-2120 Charles Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) is one of the church’s most famous preachers and Christianity’s foremost prolific writers. Called the “Prince of Preachers,” he was one of England's most notable ministers for most of the second half of the nineteenth century, and he still remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations today. His sermons have spread all over the world, and his many printed works have been cherished classics for decades. In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to more than 10 million people, often up to ten times each week. He was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was an inexhaustible author of various kinds of works including sermons, commentaries, an autobiography, as well as books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns and more. Spurgeon was known to produce powerful sermons of penetrating thought and divine inspiration, and his oratory and writing skills held his audiences spellbound. Many Christians have discovered Spurgeon's messages to be among the best in Christian literature. Edward Walford wrote in Old and New London: Volume 6 (1878) quoting an article from the Times regarding one of Spurgeon’s meetings at Surrey: “Fancy a congregation consisting of 10,000 souls, streaming into the hall, mounting the galleries, humming, buzzing, and swarming—a mighty hive of bees—eager to secure at first the best places, and, at last, any place at all. After waiting more than half an hour—for if you wish to have a seat you must be there at least that space of time in advance—Mr. Spurgeon ascended his tribune. To the hum, and rush, and trampling of men, succeeded a low, concentrated thrill and murmur of devotion, which seemed to run at once, like an electric current, through the breast of every one present, and by this magnetic chain the preacher held us fast bound for about two hours. It is not my purpose to give a summary of his discourse. It is enough to say of his voice, that its power and volume are sufficient to reach every one in that vast assembly; of his language, that it is neither high-flown nor homely; of his style, that it is at times familiar, at times declamatory, but always happy, and often eloquent; of his doctrine, that neither the 'Calvinist' nor the 'Baptist' appears in the forefront of the battle which is waged by Mr. Spurgeon with relentless animosity, and with Gospel weapons, against irreligion, cant, hypocrisy, pride, and those secret bosom-sins which so easily beset a man in daily life; and to sum up all in a word, it is enough to say of the man himself, that he impresses you with a perfect conviction of his sincerity.” More than a hundred years after his death, Charles Spurgeon’s legacy continues to effectively inspire the church around the world. For this reason, Delmarva Publications has chosen to publish the complete works of Charles Spurgeon.

Book Description
Teens Nadia, Afsana, Yibinathi, and Min-Ji are strangers. They live in different countries, their own demons to conquer, their own dangers to face. But when they are pulled into a Thura Gate -a bridge between our world and the magical realm of Amaris-they come together to discover a universe larger than anything they ever dreamed...and peril greater than anything they ever feared. Amaris hovers on the brink of destruction: the evil Queen Sathariel has risen, her Dark Forces are on the rise. And Amaris' protector, The Chosen-a teenage boy prophesied to destroy Sathariel and save the world-has been captured and imprisoned by the evil queen. The only way to save him, and to break Sathariel's hold on Amaris, is to find a trio of magical weapons that just might be enough to free The Chosen and destroy the evil queen. No one who's tried to find the weapons has ever survived, so it's up to four strangers from Earth, who will have to put aside their personal and cultural differences, conquer their fears, and risk everything to save The Chosen. But they'll have to move fast. For Sathariel's power has grown: she has broken the bonds of death to create an army of immortal soldiers that will help her complete her conquest of Amaris...and destroy any who stand in her way. Acclaimed journalist and storyteller Zoe Nauman invites you to take an epic journey into a world of fantasy, mystery, and adventure, where the only thing more powerful than magic is the strength shared by friends.
