Book Description
When Dr. Will Freeman, a struggling, widowed university professor, is laid off from his position at the local university his life begins to take a sharp downward spiral. A reprieve comes in the form of a one foot long claw which is proffered to him; along with a substantial amount of money and an offer to join a team in search of the creature to which the claw may belong. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, he accepts the invitation to join the expedition to the Canadian Arctic. The team travels in search of a creature that might or might not exist and they soon discover the ice shelf they are on has many mysteries to be revealed, both ancient and lethal. Discover this land of ice and biting cold, where man is not the dominant species on the food chain, and where what seems obvious is anything but. In this heart pounding, gut wrenching, page-turning adventure, journey to a place where survival of the fittest is not only an old adage but an absolute, real fight for life.

Pages : 322
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Our minds don’t work the way we think they do. Two renowned psychologists explain how and why our intuitions lead us astray, “[spinning] the plain world [we] know into a wonderment of surprising new insights” (Time). “A must-read for anyone who wants to better understand how the mind works.”—Associated Press In The Invisible Gorilla, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, creators of one of psychology’s most famous experiments, use remarkable stories and counterintuitive scientific findings to demonstrate an important truth: We think we see ourselves and the world as they really are, but we’re actually missing a whole lot. Chabris and Simons combine the work of other researchers with their own findings on attention, perception, memory, and reasoning to reveal how faulty intuitions can lead us to make shocking, costly—even life-threatening—mistakes. In the process, they explain: • Why a company would spend billions to launch a product that its own analysts know will fail • Why award-winning movies are full of editing mistakes • What criminals have in common with chess masters • Why measles and other childhood diseases are making a comeback • Why money managers could learn a lot from weather forecasters The Invisible Gorilla reveals the myriad ways that our intuitions can deceive us, but it’s much more than a catalog of human failings. Chabris and Simons explain why we succumb to these everyday illusions and what we can do to inoculate ourselves against their effects. Ultimately, the book provides a kind of x-ray vision into our own minds, making it possible to pierce the veil of illusions that clouds our thoughts and to think clearly for perhaps the first time.
