Summary

In the American classic 'Walden' by Henry David Thoreau, the author embarks on a personal and philosophical exploration of simple living in natural surroundings. Written in a reflective and introspective style, Thoreau contemplates the values of self-reliance, individualism, and the importance of connecting with nature in a rapidly industrializing society. The book serves as a manifesto for transcendentalist beliefs and promotes a deeper understanding of the self and the world around us. Thoreau's vivid descriptions of the natural world and his musings on the human experience elevate 'Walden' to a timeless work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today. Thoreau's deliberate and thought-provoking prose invites readers to reconsider their own existence and relationship with the environment, making 'Walden' a must-read for those seeking a deeper connection to nature and a greater sense of purpose in life.

    In a blend of memoir and science, a psychologist presents a “thoughtful exploration” of autobiographical memory (Booklist). 
 
A new consensus is emerging among cognitive scientists: rather than possessing fixed, unchanging memories, we create new recollections each time we are called upon to remember. As psychologist Charles Fernyhough explains, remembering is an act of narrative imagination as much as it is the product of a neurological process. In Pieces of Light, he illuminates this compelling scientific breakthrough in a series of personal stories, each illustrating memory’s complex synergy of cognitive and neurological functions. 
 
Combining science and literature, the ordinary and the extraordinary, this fascinating tour through the new science of autobiographical memory helps us better understand the ways we remember—and the ways we forget.

    Can we ever truly comprehend the universe before we fully understand consciousness and the wonders, and limits, of the mind? Ulf Danielsson, an acclaimed theoretical physicist who has dedicated his career to probing the deepest mysteries of nature, thinks not. As he dismantles the arguments of esteemed mathematicians and scientists, who would substitute their mathematical models for reality and equate the mind to a computer, he makes a lucid and passionate case that it is nature, full of beauty and meaning, which must compel us. In challenging established worldviews, he also takes a fresh look at major philosophical debates, including the notion of free will. Fearless, provocative, and witty, The World Itself is essential listening for anyone curious about the profound questions surrounding life, the universe, and everything.

    This short volume consists of the ten lectures which Sir Patrick Manson, medical adviser to the Colonial Office, delivered in San Francisco in 1905. Valuable to this day are his clinical descriptions: the three foot Guinea worm, still treated by slowly winding it on a stick when its tail emerges from the patient's leg, filarial elephantiasis, malaria, sleeping sickness, the wasting sickness kala-azar, plus sound advice on how to diagnose puzzling tropical fevers. The book is also an inadvertent chronicle of British imperialism. - Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.
