Pages : 51
Book Description
This book is about the everyday journey we all take from our all walks of life and sometimes forget that there are other things out there that we miss before we look, The environment we live in and the and the social surroundings we live with, time passing in seconds rather than minutes. The colours of spring is the colour of new beginning and the journey yet to come, we all live in a shell wanting to get out from the hold of winters grasp. The natural and the sub-created environment is there to make as look in to the future with a smile, so I tried to capture the colour that talks to us in the blossom of early spring spirit.

The Dialogues
Author: Clifford V. Johnson
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 0262037238
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A series of conversations about science in graphic form, on subjects that range from the science of cooking to the multiverse. Physicist Clifford Johnson thinks that we should have more conversations about science. Science should be on our daily conversation menu, along with topics like politics, books, sports, or the latest prestige cable drama. Conversations about science, he tells us, shouldn't be left to the experts. In The Dialogues, Johnson invites us to eavesdrop on a series of nine conversations, in graphic-novel form—written and drawn by Johnson—about “the nature of the universe.” The conversations take place all over the world, in museums, on trains, in restaurants, in what may or may not be Freud's favorite coffeehouse. The conversationalists are men, women, children, experts, and amateur science buffs. The topics of their conversations range from the science of cooking to the multiverse and string theory. The graphic form is especially suited for physics; one drawing can show what it would take many words to explain. In the first conversation, a couple meets at a costume party; they speculate about a scientist with superhero powers who doesn't use them to fight crime but to do more science, and they discuss what it means to have a “beautiful equation” in science. Their conversation spills into another chapter (“Hold on, you haven't told me about light yet”), and in a third chapter they exchange phone numbers. Another couple meets on a train and discusses immortality, time, black holes, and religion. A brother and sister experiment with a grain of rice. Two women sit in a sunny courtyard and discuss the multiverse, quantum gravity, and the anthropic principle. After reading these conversations, we are ready to start our own.

The Blank Slate
Author: Steven Pinker
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101200324
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
A brilliant inquiry into the origins of human nature from the author of Rationality, The Better Angels of Our Nature, and Enlightenment Now. "Sweeping, erudite, sharply argued, and fun to read..also highly persuasive." --Time Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize Updated with a new afterword One of the world's leading experts on language and the mind explores the idea of human nature and its moral, emotional, and political colorings. With characteristic wit, lucidity, and insight, Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits-a doctrine held by many intellectuals during the past century-denies our common humanity and our individual preferences, replaces objective analyses of social problems with feel-good slogans, and distorts our understanding of politics, violence, parenting, and the arts. Injecting calm and rationality into debates that are notorious for ax-grinding and mud-slinging, Pinker shows the importance of an honest acknowledgment of human nature based on science and common sense.

Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429945257
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
A philosopher makes the case for thinking of works of art as tools for investigating ourselves In his new book, Strange Tools: Art and Human Nature, the philosopher and cognitive scientist Alva Noë raises a number of profound questions: What is art? Why do we value art as we do? What does art reveal about our nature? Drawing on philosophy, art history, and cognitive science, and making provocative use of examples from all three of these fields, Noë offers new answers to such questions. He also shows why recent efforts to frame questions about art in terms of neuroscience and evolutionary biology alone have been and will continue to be unsuccessful.

Talk Like Nature
Author: Danny Oceans
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 1035861372
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
Nature is the leading speaker, the silent, yet most talented and accurate creator in this realm of physical reality. We observe Nature and, in most encounters, do not grasp the true nature of Nature. Comprehending the manner by which Nature speaks its expression into forms of life, is our personal path towards us mastering our own natural way of life-manifestation. Talk Like Nature is the stepping stone towards capturing the profound, yet unknown, existing alignment between Nature’s characteristics and specific words in the human language. The book guides its explorers towards the unseen Nature-like manner of pure manifestation by revealing and teaching Nature’s behaviour and by correlating Nature’s outward projection of its inherent characteristics with specific words in our language. Talk Like Nature leads to the comprehension of which words within our language harbour the most Nature-aligned elements; it allows its readers to become aware of the small, yet very significant nuances within their expressions and accentuates a way of communication oriented in line with Nature’s characteristics. The personal awareness and utilisation of this natural speaking manner channels the spoken and written words in the most Nature-like, successful fashion, thus establishing a significant improvement and a natural elevation of anyone’s life’s vitality.

Nature Speaks
Author: Kellie Robertson

Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Nature Speaks recovers the common ground shared between physics—what used to be known as "natural philosophy"—and fiction-writing as ways of representing the natural world. In doing so, it traces how nature gained an authoritative voice in the late medieval period only to lose it at the outset of modernity.
