Book excerpt: Iris Vegan, a young, impoverished graduate student from the Midwest, finds herself entangled with four powerful but threatening characters as she tries to adjust to life in New York City. Mr. Morning, an inscrutable urban recluse, employs Iris to tape-record verbal descriptions of objects that belonged to a murder victim. George, a photographer, takes an eerie portrait of Iris, which then acquires a strange life of its own, appearing and disappearing without warning around the city. After a series of blinding migraines, Iris ends up in a hospital room with Mrs. O., a woman who has lost her mind and memory to a stroke, but who nevertheless retains both the strength and energy to torment her fellow patient. And finally, there is Professor Rose, Iris's teacher and eventually her lover. While working with him on the translation of a German novella called The Brutal Boy, she discovers in its protagonist, Klaus, a vehicle for her own transformation and ventures out into the city again--this time dressed as a man. Siri Hustvedt's The Blindfold is "...a work of dizzying intensity. . .eloquent and vivid." - Don DeLillo.

Book excerpt: An award-winning journalist’s extraordinary account of being kidnapped and tortured in Syria by al Qaeda for two years—a revelatory memoir about war, human nature, and endurance that’s “the best of the genre, profound, poetic, and sorrowful” (The Atlantic). In 2012, American journalist Theo Padnos, fluent in Arabic, Russian, German, and French, traveled to a Turkish border town to write and report on the Syrian civil war. One afternoon in October, while walking through an olive grove, he met three young Syrians—who turned out to be al Qaeda operatives—and they captured him and kept him prisoner for nearly two years. On his first day, in the first of many prisons, Padnos was given a blindfold—a grime-stained scrap of fabric—that was his only possession throughout his horrific ordeal. Now, Padnos recounts his time in captivity in Syria, where he was frequently tortured at the hands of the al Qaeda affiliate, Jebhat al Nusra. We learn not only about Padnos’s harrowing experience, but we also get a firsthand account of life in a Syrian village, the nature of Islamic prisons, how captors interrogate someone suspected of being CIA, the ways that Islamic fighters shift identities and drift back and forth through the veil of Western civilization, and much more. No other journalist has lived among terrorists for as long as Theo has—and survived. As a resident of thirteen separate prisons in every part of rebel-occupied Syria, Theo witnessed a society adrift amid a steady stream of bombings, executions, torture, prayer, fasting, and exhibitions, all staged by the terrorists. Living within this tide of violence changed not only his personal identity but also profoundly altered his understanding of how to live. Offering fascinating, unprecedented insight into the state of Syria today, Blindfold is “a triumph of the human spirit” (The New York Times Book Review)—combining the emotional power of a captive’s memoir with a journalist’s account of a culture and a nation in conflict that is as urgent and important as ever.

Book excerpt: Justice Blindfolded gives an overview of the history of “justice” and its iconography through the centuries. Justice has been portrayed as a woman with scales, or holding a sword, or, since the fifteenth century, with her eyes bandaged. This last symbol contains the idea that justice is both impartial and blind, reminding indirectly of the bandaged Christ on the cross, a central figure in the Christian idea of fairness and forgiveness. In this rich and imaginative journey through history and philosophy, Prosperi manages to convey a full account of the ways justice has been described, portrayed and imagined. Translation of Giustizia bendata. Percorsi storici di un'immagine (Einaudi, 2008).

Book excerpt: Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets Percy Jackson in Odd Gods, the first book in a hilarious illustrated series about the most unlikely, unusual Gods ever to grace the halls of Mount Olympus Middle School. A Summer 2019 Kids' Indie Next Pick! Oddonis may be the son of Zeus, but he’s a little bit…odd for a God. He’s so odd, in fact, he’s not sure if he has any powers at all. And if that isn’t enough, his twin brother Adonis is the most popular, most athletic, and most otherworldly handsome God of them all. Oddonis’s future at Mount Olympus Middle isn’t looking bright, especially when he makes the last-minute decision to run against Adonis to be class president. With the help of his friends Mathena (Goddess of math and poultry), Germes (God of all things sniffling and snotty), Puneous (the smallest God of them all), and Gaseous (enough said?), Oddonis is determined to win the race, prove that his friends are as good as any Greek God, and maybe, just maybe, find out what his true powers really are. Read the hilarious new adventures of Oddonis and his friends from debut children’s authors David Slavin and Daniel Weitzman, filled with dozens of black-and-white illustrations by award-winning artist Adam Lane.

In the Bering Sea, Coast Guard cutter Sojourner Truth is on routine patrol. On board is Hugh's estranged wife, executive officer Sara Lange. Sara and her ship are Hugh's only hope for stopping the terrorists...if she's willing to believe her ex-husband's story and risk her own career--and her crew's lives--to hunt down a death ship....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We can teach the blind to see. Your third eye and sixth sense are very real. In Indonesia, they released a system that rehabilitates the blind. Not only in Indonesia but all around the world people are rediscovering what may very well be the origin of all religions. You can look through time and get the right answer to any question. You can access any information off of any storage device. You can teach others skills that develop their intuition, inner energy, and internal sight. This book is meant to preserve and share sacred and hidden knowledge that can truly change the world as we know it. This is the greatest and most pertinent thing that we should be focusing on. Life as we know it is far more magical than we thought. I will teach you everything you need to know to learn to see without your eyes and prove that the laws of physics may not be as complete as we thought. We will be going over important topics like breathwork, meditation, chakras, inner energy, and the science behind it all. In this book, we go over the meaning of life as described in the Tree of life. We talk about real Enlightened Masters who have conquered death and transcended into an eternal life of non-duality. Immortals are real. There are people hundreds and thousands of years old who walk the earth today. Jesus is one of them. I talk about the blood we found on the Ark of the Covenant and how it proves immortality and even further backs up stories of Jesus as a man, alive and walking the earth today. I truly hope and believe that this book and the ones to follow have the potential to change the world. We are all capable of so much more than we are lead to believe. Levitation, teleportation, walking on water, and true manifestation are all possible. It's crazy how many myths were actually based on fact and we simply couldn't believe the truth they were telling us. In order to get a grasp of the ideas in this book you first need to understand three basic things. Number one; all points in space and time are one. This is why remote viewing is even possible. Number two, everything is energy, nothing is matter. Even at the smallest levels of our physical world we only find dense energy fields, and nothing truly physical. And number three, Consciousness is the basis for all. These three Ideas will help you grasp an understanding of the physics of spirituality. For everything is spirit in reality. In this book, I will share with you sacred and hidden knowledge that clearly shows us the path to enlightenment. And Enlightenment turns out to be Immortality in life, not after death. You can in fact grow younger and develop energetic protection that can stop a speeding car. In cultures around the world the stories match up and we learn vital details from each one. So much of this knowledge has been intentionally kept secret and jealously guarded. Not only has our CIA been exploring these esoteric phenomena, but cultures around the world still hold true to ancient ways. You would never guess that the Pyramids, Fung Shui, and our Chakras have anything in common, but it isn't until we develop our energetic senses, that these things become apparent. I will teach you everything I know. This Journey is a long one filled with many things that modern man simply would not believe until he confronted them face to face. With this book, I hope to share the knowledge that's needed to raise the next generation of extremely psychic children to lead us into the perfect world I know is possible. Love is always the answer. Be the change you want to see. Let's change the world.-Robert Smithblindfoldedsight.com

He wasn't all that interested - just listened to a few speeches and went home, but nothing was ever the same again. In this wildly comic novel, Parker's brief dalliance is the beginning of the end. He never lands a decent job. Women never stick around. He has terrible stretches of bad luck and is the unwitting victim of plain bizarre occurrences. Then Parker discovers that he's been the target of a government plot and the obsession of a rogue FBI agent who just won't give up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprises 26 exciting chapters by internationally renowned scholars, addressing the central psychological process separating humans from other animals: the ability to imagine the thoughts and feelings of others, and to reflect on the contents of our own mindsa theory of mind (ToM). The four sections of the book cover developmental, cultural, and neurobiological approaches to ToM across different populations and species. The chapters explore the earliest stages of development of ToM in infancy, and how plastic ToM learning is; why 3-year-olds typically fail false belief tasks and how ToM continues to develop beyond childhood into adulthood; the debate between simulation theory and theory theory; cross-cultural perspectives on ToM and how ToM develops differently in deaf children; how we use our ToM when we make moral judgments, and the link between emotional intelligence and ToM; the neural basis of ToM measured by evoked response potentials, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and studies of brain damage; emotional vs. cognitive empathy in neuropsychiatric conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, and psychopathy; the concept of self in autism and teaching methods targeting ToM deficits; the relationship between empathy, the pain matrix and the mirror neuron system; the role of oxytocin and fetal testosterone in mentalizing and empathy; the heritability of empathy and candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with empathy; and ToM in non-human primates. These 26 chapters represent a masterly overview of a field that has deepened since the first edition was published in 1993.
