Book Description
The scientific story of first impressions—and why the snap character judgments we make from faces are irresistible but usually incorrect We make up our minds about others after seeing their faces for a fraction of a second—and these snap judgments predict all kinds of important decisions. For example, politicians who simply look more competent are more likely to win elections. Yet the character judgments we make from faces are as inaccurate as they are irresistible; in most situations, we would guess more accurately if we ignored faces. So why do we put so much stock in these widely shared impressions? What is their purpose if they are completely unreliable? In this book, Alexander Todorov, one of the world's leading researchers on the subject, answers these questions as he tells the story of the modern science of first impressions. Drawing on psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, computer science, and other fields, this accessible and richly illustrated book describes cutting-edge research and puts it in the context of the history of efforts to read personality from faces. Todorov describes how we have evolved the ability to read basic social signals and momentary emotional states from faces, using a network of brain regions dedicated to the processing of faces. Yet contrary to the nineteenth-century pseudoscience of physiognomy and even some of today's psychologists, faces don't provide us a map to the personalities of others. Rather, the impressions we draw from faces reveal a map of our own biases and stereotypes. A fascinating scientific account of first impressions, Face Value explains why we pay so much attention to faces, why they lead us astray, and what our judgments actually tell us.

Book Description
"God is always involved in our lives, but often we don't notice, too busy with our own agenda to appreciate what He is doing for us. In her book I Saw That, Tracie shares some poignant events in her life where she was able to see God's hand interceding in her life in divine, life-changing ways. This is a well-written, engaging narrative that will provide valuable biblical insights on how you, too, can say, 'I saw that' when God intervenes in your life." - Bob Russell, Retired Senior Minister of Southeast Christian Church Everybody wants a miracle-a Red Sea to be parted, a giant to be slayed, a mountain to be moved. And while God can still part seas, take down giants, and move mountains, often the most significant miracle is that God chooses to walk with His children in the daily grind of life ... that He knows our prayers before we speak them and knows the number of hairs on our head. I Saw That is about the miracle of the minutiae. We rarely miss the big things God does or the ways He answers our big, bold prayers, but we rarely see the small ways He cares for us-speaks to us and dances over us-mostly because we aren't looking. But God is at work daily in the ordinary and mundane, bringing all things together for our good. It's never a matter of whether or not He is faithful. It's always a matter of whether or not we see it. If you're a follower of Jesus, this book will strengthen your faith. If you're not quite sure you believe in God, it may just change your mind!

But prophecy still portends danger for her in adulthood. When Cora falls, Demeter threatens to freeze the world. Nephrea offers sacrifice to quell Demeter's rage, but it may be more than the goddess who needs saving. Azure Blue. An immortal race freed by death and defiance of the gods. Nymph Queen Delia grieves the death of a king who once united the land, while her unruly daughter, Avva, wishes to mourn him her own way. Avva flies over the Strait. Such hubris forces sacrifice.

The immortal shall die by the will of Persephone. No one can douse the fire stewing in Cora's heart over the plight of her beloved nymphs. But as Cora wars bent on revenge, she risks hurting the land and people she loves. This series can be enjoyed without reading the preceding book, Harmonia.
