Snakes, Sunrises, and Shakespeare: How Evolution Shapes Our Loves and Fears
ISBN: 9780226003238 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Our breath catches and we jump in fear at the sight of a snake. We pause and marvel at the sublime beauty of a sunrise. These reactions are no accident; in fact, many of our human responses to nature are steeped in our deep evolutionary past--we fear snakes because of the danger of venom or constriction, and we welcome the assurances of the sunrise as the predatory dangers of the dark night disappear. Many of our aesthetic preferences--from the kinds of gardens we build to the foods we enjoy and the entertainment we seek--are the lingering result of natural selection. In this ambitious...

Barefootin' the Country
ISBN: 9781490724577 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Inspired by life experiences, Lacey Arthur's poetry focuses on relationships, family, love, education, and spirituality. Her work portrays the average person's everyday life in an almost melodious sense with regard to tone, voice, and natural rhythm. This gives her poetry a musical quality in very common language. Southern influence is evident through the use of dialect, events, and imagery. She uses wit and metaphor to create complex scenes and concepts in simple dialogue. This collection reveals not only who she is and where she's been, but what she believes.

The Absurdity of Pride and the Peace of Humility: How We Can Reestablish Our Relationships with Other People, Other Groups, and Other Species to Live

We as a species have developed an addiction to this ugly, disconnecting emotion. Totally lost to us is the unifying, sustainable emotion of humility. Clearly, unless we can recover humility's natural state, we will continue in the violent, frightened, unjust lifestyle of pride, and we will force our own species--and many others on the Earth--into...
