The Beginning of Infinity
Author: David Deutsch
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101549823
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 636
Book Description
The New York Times bestseller: A provocative, imaginative exploration of the nature and progress of knowledge “Dazzling.” – Steven Pinker, The Guardian In this groundbreaking book, award-winning physicist David Deutsch argues that explanations have a fundamental place in the universe—and that improving them is the basic regulating principle of all successful human endeavor. Taking us on a journey through every fundamental field of science, as well as the history of civilization, art, moral values, and the theory of political institutions, Deutsch tracks how we form new explanations and drop bad ones, explaining the conditions under which progress—which he argues is potentially boundless—can and cannot happen. Hugely ambitious and highly original, The Beginning of Infinity explores and establishes deep connections between the laws of nature, the human condition, knowledge, and the possibility for progress.

Book Description
Pirates, slavers, and deviants! Captain Sass Collier steers her motley crew across the treacherous planetary rings, seeking solutions to the steady health decline of Mahina Colony.

And ex-cop Sass is probably the wrong person for the job. But no one else is willing to try. Only the deranged denizens of the rings can help them reach Sagamore. The natives are more dangerous than the asteroids. But if Sass doesn't figure out why the moon's settlers are failing, Mahina Colony is doomed. Sass won't let that happen. If you love exciting space adventures with an ensemble cast of well-meaning misfits, you'll love book 2 in Ginger Booth's Thrive Space Colony Adventures series.

Revolution from Within
Author: Gloria Steinem
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1453250166
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
Newly updated: The bestseller “that could bring the human race a little closer to rescuing itself” from the subject of the film The Two Glorias (Naomi Wolf). Without self-esteem, the only change is an exchange of masters; with it, there is no need for masters. When trying to find books to give to “the countless brave and smart women I met who didn’t think of themselves as either brave or smart,” Steinem realized that books either supposed that external political change would cure everything or that internal change would. None linked internal and external change together in a seamless circle of cause and effect, effect and cause. She undertook to write such a book, and ended up transforming her life, as well as the lives of others. The result of her reflections is this truly transformative book: part personal collection of stories from her own life and the lives of many others, part revolutionary guide to finding community and inspiration. Steinem finds role models in a very young and uncertain Gandhi as well as unlikely heroes from the streets to history. Revolution from Within addresses the core issues of self-authority and unjust external authority, and argues that the first is necessary to transform the second. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Gloria Steinem including rare images from the author’s personal collection, as well as a new preface and list of book recommendations from Steinem.

Confronting the Storm
Author: David Ross
Publisher: Business Expert Press
ISBN: 1637422970
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
“In Confronting the Storm, David passionately argues for a shift from the predominant legacy thinking that struggles with our greatest challenges to a regenerative and collaborative mindset within leaders. Humanity is at a fork in the road so new, creative, and urgent leadership is essential. For us all and future generations to be able to thrive on Spaceship Earth, this book makes for compelling reading.” –David Houle, MD, The Sarasota Institute and 5x TEDx speaker, US Traditional leadership wisdom is buckling and failing. Leaders are not only grappling with the pandemic, but a greater challenge awaits them – a storm of complex social, environmental, and economic issues that is leaving organizations extremely vulnerable. As daunting as it may feel, there are substantial opportunities to thrive. David provocatively argues that, to successfully deal with the storm, we must accept that the leadership styles that have been celebrated for centuries are now an obstacle to progress. He explores the storm-defying alternatives: key skills and traits that are now crucial for regenerating lives, livelihoods, and the planet, pointing the way to a more collaborative, innovative, successful future for leaders and organizations. This argument is amplified by some of the most inspiring global leaders who are successfully confronting the storm – including a former Prime Minister, former Foreign Minister, one of Fortune magazines ‘50 Greatest Leaders’, and more. What will your legacy be?

A People's Guide to An Interfaith Christian Theology in a Time of Transformation
Author: Harvey H. Honig
Publisher: Shanti Arts Publishing
ISBN: 1956056343
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
Harvey H. Honig began his life's work as a Lutheran minister but soon recognized his need for a more spacious and inclusive approach through which to heal and understand his inner self. This led him to spend many years exploring and experiencing other paths of religion and spirituality. In recent years, though, he found that the message, mission, and being of Jesus still played a powerful and transformative role in his life. Since common understandings of the life of Jesus are embedded within a biblical and historical framework, Honig wanted to explore the meaning of Christianity within the framework of our current world. An Interfaith Christian Theology is for fellow seekers who are drawn to the being and message of Jesus but can no longer relate to the dissonance between reality and belief that so many churches require. Honig's approach differs from traditional Christian theology in two ways: first, it does not stem from the framework of a specific denomination, and second, it presents itself as a way of thinking about Christianity rather than the only way. After several years as a minister, Honig began Jungian analytic training and earned a PhD in psychology at Loyola University Chicago. Jung gave Honig the tools he needed to continue his personal search for a life-affirming view of Christianity and to assist others in their search for inner truth and healing.
