About the Original Book:
In Factfulness, Rosling has compiled a life of work and research into a call-to-action for reason, rationality, and data. He argues that most people assume the world is worse off today than it was in the past, and that this is patently false. Using decades, and sometimes centuries, of data, he systemically counters many common notions held today–that the world is more violent, that more people live in poverty, and that population growth is not truly exponential–to name a few.

One of Kirkus Reviews “Top 100” Indie Books of 2013

MADNESS, BLACKMAIL AND MURDER.

A beautiful graduate student suspects that her psychiatrist is ruled by the fantasies of a poet who’s been dead for two hundred years…

A mental patient with no musical training sits down at the piano and plays a fiendishly difficult piece of classical music…

A young doctor’s life spins out of control as he falls under the spell of three irresistible women…

Art and illusion. Deception and delusion. Sex, evil and death.

“A mind-bending marriage of ambitious literary theory and classic murder mystery… In this intricately plotted novel, Hartman spins the familiar trappings of gothic mystery together with a fresh postmodern sensibility, producing a story that’s as rich and satisfying as it is difficult to categorize…. As Hartman skillfully blurs the lines between fiction and reality, the book becomes a profound meditation on art, identity and their messy spheres of influence… A exciting, original take on the literary mystery genre.” — Kirkus Reviews

Being a teenage girl is hard. Admit it-frequently it’s downright terrible. They are constantly bombarded with suggestions about how to best live their lives from everyone they know. It becomes a challenge just to know whose suggestions to follow and whom to ignore. Their parents and teachers are “too old” to understand them, and friends can be just as confused as they are. Teens are often tempted to turn to celebrities who, unfortunately, are only asked about fashion, weight loss, and “how to get the guy.”

Life Lessons for the Teenage Girl : Quotes, Inspiration, and Advice for Women by Women provides valuable and entertaining advice from women who have attained success in business, politics, sports, and entertainment. Their goal in offering advice is to spare teenage girls some of the challenges and frustrations they may have experienced themselves. If the struggle can’t be avoided, teens can at least gain comfort in the knowledge that they are not alone in their experience. Techniques and exercises are provided to help teenage girls survive and thrive beyond their teenage years.

Is Life Lessons for the Teenage Girl for teenage girls only? Heck no! Everyone can be educated and entertained by the insights these women dispense. All can benefit from learning new strategies to manage life’s difficulties. Find out who stayed serious and who couldn’t help but get silly!

Socrates in Cyberspace by Scott O’Reilly

This book is bargain priced from 06/06/2014 until 09/01/2014

“You would not find the boundaries of the soul, even by traveling along every path: so deep a measure does it have,” so reckoned the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus. Today, however, most scientists and philosophers are writing the soul’s obituary. Brain imaging technologies, advances in Artificial Intelligence, and the apparent disrepute of many traditional conceptions of the soul are changing the way we understand consciousness. But is the “triumph” of scientific materialism warranted?

Socrates in Cyberspace examines the ontological status of the soul in 21st century. Weaving together science, philosophy, and even a touch of poetry Socrates in Cyberspace explores traditional conceptions of the soul ranging from Pythagoras to Wittgenstein, as well as the quirky world of quantum mechanics and its possible relevance to consciousness. What emerges is an intellectual adventure that is sure to kindle your sense of wonder, stir your imagination, and make you think of life in new ways.
