  The Dawn of Mind - How Matter...

  James Cooke PhD

  Although consciousness is at the very center of who we are, its exact nature continues to confound modern science. From where does consciousness originate? At our core, are we material bodies or immaterial conscious minds? Many assume that consciousness is a product of our complex brains, a product of evolution—and yet, there is no evolutionary reason that a mechanical function of the brain should allow us to enjoy the beauty of a sunrise or become intoxicated with the smell of rain on dry earth. If consciousness is not the product of sophisticated human brains, might the nonhuman living world be conscious? If so, where does that place us in relation to the rest of life on Earth—and what does this imply about our domination and plundering of the natural world for resources? Dr. James Cooke is no stranger to intricate and existential questions such as these, and he confronts them head-on in his compelling, inventive, revolutionary new book, The Dawn of Mind: How Matter Became Conscious and Alive. Weaving together cutting-edge science and the contemplative insights that arise from mystical experience, as occurs with meditation and the emerging therapeutic paradigm of psychedelic medicine, Cooke radically redraws our understanding of what it truly means to be who we are.

  The author of acclaimed memoirs about life on a French olive farm explores the larger history and culture of the Mediterranean delicacy. Carol Drinkwater has a passion for olive trees and the fruit they bear—“bitter berries” that are transformed into savory delights and pressed into precious oil. Already intimately familiar with the fruit thanks to her olive farm in the South of France, she decided to travel throughout the Mediterranean basin—from Marseille to Malta, Israel to Tunisia—in a quest to learn about their ancient history, their spread throughout the world, and the tastes and traditions they represent. A culinary travelogue and a celebration of a humble, healthful food that inspires devotion among so many, The Olive Route is filled with unusual characters and fascinating anecdotes from “a storyteller of great economy and deftness” (The Telegraph). “Drinkwater has a sharp eye for character, and the people who populate The Olive Route will not disappoint her fans.” —The Independent

  The Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) is a widespread North American songbird commonly found throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico, and parts of Central America. It inhabits open woodlands, grasslands, farmlands, suburban neighborhoods, and gardens. It is known for its soft, mournful cooing, gentle whistles, and the distinctive whistling sound produced by its wings during flight. 
  In natural environments, Mourning Doves are most often heard during the early morning and evening hours, especially in open forests, woodland edges, parks, and residential landscapes. Their gentle calls contribute to the peaceful acoustic atmosphere of natural and rural environments and are among the most familiar bird sounds across North America. 
  Visually, the Mourning Dove is recognized for its slender body, long pointed tail, and soft grayish-brown plumage with subtle black spotting on the wings. Its delicate appearance, warm earth tones, and graceful flight make it one of North America's most recognizable and beloved birds.
