With both humor and heart, this absorbing read will keep readers thinking and laughing.

Book excerpt: We thirst for purpose, clarity, fulfillment and direction in our lives. How do we go about sorting through all the self-help books, talks and seminars? The common, normal solutions to navigating life are focused on strengths, gifts, and passion. The reality is quite contrarian to what seems to make sense. The revelations is found in the divine fingerprints of all that we are: our life story, what energized and de-energizes us, our rhythms, and even our pain and weaknesses. It’s a different way of approaching clarity of life.At the heart of this book is the understanding that a life filled with passion is radically different than what many of us have been taught. Often it’s not in the how do we find life but a commitment to a passionate pursuit. Neurologically, if we ask the question how our brains can’t tap the new domains, our brains resorts to typical default solutions that are often inadequate. The way to live life to its fullest is found in abnormal rhythms and principles, that have the tension of questions more than answers. It’s a place where strategy is important but an ethos where relationships trump vision. The way we are invited to live life to its fullest is found with a contrarian set of beliefs, values and questions. It’s not about quick fixes and simplistic “solutions.”. God works through our weaknesses and our failures. Real vision is found through relationships with God and with other people. Obedience is better than passion. These contrarian concepts have been presented and tested in many business and non-profit settings, including Willow Creek’s Leadership Summit where Dave gave a keynote address. The tone of this book was established as Dave thought about what he would want to share with his four third culture children and future leaders. It was Dave’s heart that they would walk a life where they experienced life to it’s fullest, exploring the new and old domains of world that is constantly changing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After travelling through the Canadian prairies in 1857 and 1858, British adventurer John Palliser deemed a large portion of the region to be a near desert and unfit for agriculture. That reportedly disadvantaged area became known famously as Palliser's Triangle. In Defying Palliser, farmers and ranchers from southwest Saskatchewan and southeast Alberta--residents in the Palliser Triangle--tell how they have challenged Palliser's prediction. Incorporating the latest research on adaptive capacity and climate change, these stories of self-reliance, inventiveness and community solidarity reveal a remarkably resilient people who have adapted and survived in the driest, most drought-prone climate on the Canadian Prairies.

Book excerpt: Where do you end, and where do media begin? In Media in Mind, author Daniel Reynolds draws upon naturalist philosophies of the mind from John Dewey through contemporary theories of embodied and extended cognition to make the case that the lines separating media from the minds of their users are not blurry or variable so much as they never existed to begin with. Through analyses of films and video games from 1900 to the present, Media in Mind shows how media forms and technologies challenge dominant models of perception and mental representation, and how they complicate theoretical understanding of concepts like the platform and the interface. In order to do justice to the profound and literally mind-changing power of media, Reynolds argues, we need to think not so much about the relationship between media and the mind as about the roles that media play in our minds. Through this crucial distinction, Media in Mind surveys more than a century of media theory to illustrate the ways that scholars of film and digital media have situated and reconsidered a series of divisions between media, user, and world, and how these conceptual divisions have reflected and inflected their ways of understanding the mind.

Book excerpt: ‘Among the numerous books on Dickens’s London, Going Astray is unique in combining detailed topography and biography with close textual analysis and theoretically informed critiques of most of the novelist’s major works. In Jeremy Tambling’s intriguing and illuminating synthesis, the London A-Z meets Nietzsche, Benjamin and Derrida.’ Rick Allen, author of The Moving Pageant: A Literary Sourcebook on London Street-Life, 1700-1914 Dickens wrote so insistently about London – its streets, its people, its unknown areas – that certain parts of the city are forever haunted by him. Going Astray: Dickens and London looks at the novelist’s delight in losing the self in the labyrinthine city and maps that interest, onto the compulsion to ‘go astray’ in writing. Drawing on all Dickens’ published writings (including the journalism but concentrating on the novels), Jeremy Tambling considers the author’s kaleidoscopic characterisations of London: as prison and as legal centre; as the heart of empire and of traumatic memory; as the place of the uncanny; as an old curiosity shop. His study examines the relations between narrative and the city, and explores how the metropolis encapsulates the problems of modernity for Dickens – as well as suggesting the limits of representation. Combining contemporary literary and cultural theory with historical maps, photographs and contextual detail, Jeremy Tambling’s book is an indispensable guide to Dickens, nineteenth- century literature, and the city itself.

Book excerpt: "In this book, historian Ron Southern explores the early years of Fulneck's development, between 1750 and 1760, when it was called either after its site, Lambshill, or chapel, Gracehall. Through an exploration of the structure and symbolism of its architecture, the phenomenology of its spaces, and a close reading of their Congregation Diaries, Life Histories, and other original sources, he conjures a picture of the rituals of daily life in an English Moravian Settlement under the influence of their charismatic leader Count Zinzendorf."--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes you by hand to life's greatest journey and experience, a must for every living human being on earth. You get to meet the interactive creator who hears, speaks, and needs no mediator, just you and him. No greater opportunity in life than meeting, speaking to, and being spoken to by him one on one. With truth and love on life support on earth today, the breeding of hate has resulted in divisiveness, compounded violence in society, and a planet in peril. The abundance of proposed solutions to humanity's ails are based on conjecture, baseless myths of ancient mysteries, unsubstantiated claims, fancy words, worthless traditions from time past, false hope, false peace, and doom. Rather than the confusion resulting from infighting among human factions, you, the scientists, philosophers, religious and agnostic groups have been invited to chat with the one who claims he is the creator of all things. In this book, he explains in great simplicity why things are happening the way they are, the source of problems, and how to easily fix these daunting problems. He declares that the time for words is over, and it is time to back words with real power now with the kind of power that creates things from nothing. Humanity has a chance to see the creator up close and personal, not just someone with empty words but to experience his power and why he claims to be the creator. In a matter of hours, after completing the last page, you will never be the same again after the encounter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The entire METAL ANGELS adventure in one COMPLETE box-set! (Parts 1-4) What are they really hiding at the Facility? And is it worth dying for? The Facility is a high-security compound in the middle of b*tt-f*ck nowhere. It's filled to the brim with dangerous secrets. And it's the place sisters Kira and Blake Beckworth call home. But one phone call is about to change their lives forever. When Kira is duped into baby-sitting one of the volatile, ultra-classified projects the Facility is infamous for, it sets off a chain of events that will threaten far more than Friday night plans. The project has the face of an angel. His name is Azrael. But what is he exactly? Human? Android? Or something else entirely? And what the hell is Kira supposed to do with him? She knows her way around a vodka bottle, really well....but a mute, vacant-eyed, albeit sublimely beautiful maybe-man? No clue. A pity Kira's never been good at saying no to her sister. Blake is Azrael's creator, and one of the few human genuises at the Facility. But it won't be long before Kira wishes she'd never taken that call. Never stepped foot in the deepest levels of the Facility. Because the truth of who Azrael is...and what it means to keep him safe...could destroy not only Kira's life, but life itself. Metal Angels (The Facility Files) is fast-paced science fantasy with lots of sex, swearing and violence. Buckle Up. **Language Warning** - if you don't like copious amounts of swearing, then perhaps this one isn't for you. Kira knows all the words and likes to use them. She enjoys it almost as much as sex. So be warned, sexual content contained in this book!

High adventure and action awaits Lukhanus a sixteen year old dragon and his mentor-friend Bar, a knoll pack leader who has sworn to protect their ancestral territory. A world of racism and elitism dominate their land, can this naïve hatchling overcome the biases that plagues his race? Can the six common races of the continent Lemuria put aside their indifference to unite and defeat the undead plague or will the black flame of death devour all that Lukhanus has come to love and hold dear? On the dangerous journey to find the forsaken Oracle, Lukhanus and his companions discover that it envisions both hope and despair. As was foretold by the mysterious Oracle, Evil is within the heart of all creatures; will this evil consume Lukhanus as he fights to save Lemuria and the inhabitants that dwell within its boarders?

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1991 as part of the Tavistock Classics in the History of Psychiatry series, this re-edition of J-M. Charcot’s Clinical Lectures on Diseases of the Nervous System provides a unique opportunity to examine the work of one of the last century’s most controversial and admired physicians. Widely esteemed for his work in neuropathology, Charcot was also an innovator in the study of hysteria, making important contributions to its study in both women and men. The Clinical Lectures reproduced here are especially important for two key reasons. First, they provide insight into Charcot’s often neglected study of male hysteria, especially traumatic shock, as well as, hysteria among children. Secondly, they give an opportunity to examine his clinical method and style. His presentations and scholarly compilations greatly influenced an entire generation of French and other physicians interested in the study of the ‘unconscious’ during the turn of the century. The introduction, which precedes the work, places the volume in its social, political and historical context. It highlights the key features of the historiographical debate surrounding Charcot, which ranges in scope from the social and intellectual history of the Third Republic through that of early psychoanalysis. It then proceeds with an examination of the key themes – both substantive and methodological – underlying Charcot’s researches, providing both a general entrée into the history of medicine and society in this period, as well as an explication du texte which carefully analyses the lectures themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Sons of Liberty to British reformers, Irish patriots, French Jacobins, Haitian revolutionaries and American Democrats, the greatest social movements of the Age of Atlantic Revolutions grew as part of a common, interrelated pattern. In this new transnational history, Micah Alpaugh demonstrates the connections between the most prominent causes of the era, as they drew upon each other's models to seek unprecedented changes in government. As Friends of Freedom, activists shared ideas and strategies internationally, creating a chain of broad-based campaigns that mobilized the American Revolution, British Parliamentary Reform, Irish nationalism, movements for religious freedom, abolitionism, the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, and American party politics. Rather than a series of distinct national histories, Alpaugh shows how these movements jointly responded to the Atlantic trends of their era to create a new way to alter or overthrow governments: mobilizing massive social movements.

Which, as it turns out, isn't nearly as simple as it sounds.

Book excerpt: The struggle to abolish slavery is one of the grandest quests - and central themes - of modern history. These movements for freedom have taken many forms, from individual escapes, violent rebellions, and official proclamations to mass organizations, decisive social actions, and major wars. Every emancipation movement - whether in Europe, Africa, or the Americas - has profoundly transformed the country and society in which it existed. This unique A-Z encyclopedia examines every effort to end slavery in the United States and the transatlantic world. It focuses on massive, broad-based movements, as well as specific incidents, events, and developments, and pulls together in one place information previously available only in a wide variety of sources. While it centers on the United States, the set also includes authoritative accounts of emancipation and abolition in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. "The Encyclopedia of Emancipation and Abolition" provides definitive coverage of one of the most significant experiences in human history. It features primary source documents, maps, illustrations, cross-references, a comprehensive chronology and bibliography, and specialized indexes in each volume, and covers a wide range of individuals and the major themes and ideas that motivated them to confront and abolish slavery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plagues in World History provides a concise, comparative world history of catastrophic infectious diseases, including plague, smallpox, tuberculosis, cholera, influenza, and AIDS. Geographically, these diseases have spread across the entire globe; temporally, they stretch from the sixth century to the present. John Aberth considers not only the varied impact that disease has had upon human history but also the many ways in which people have been able to influence diseases simply through their cultural attitudes toward them. The author argues that the ability of humans to alter disease, even without the modern wonders of antibiotic drugs and other medical treatments, is an even more crucial lesson to learn now that AIDS, swine flu, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and other seemingly incurable illnesses have raged worldwide. Aberth's comparative analysis of how different societies have responded in the past to disease illuminates what cultural approaches have been and may continue to be most effective in combating the plagues of today.
