  Your environment is not neutral — it’s shaping your focus, creativity, and mood every second. How to Build Spaces That Think for You explores the psychology of design and how small, deliberate changes in light, sound, temperature, and layout can reprogram the way you think. This isn’t interior decoration; it’s cognitive architecture. Drawing from environmental psychology and neuroscience, it reveals how rooms can either drain your attention or amplify it — and how to make focus the default state. 
  From designing workspaces that sustain deep concentration to creating restorative zones that encourage recovery, this book offers a blueprint for aligning space with intention. The goal isn’t aesthetic perfection — it’s behavioral precision. Because when your environment supports your mind, discipline feels effortless and creativity becomes instinctive. You don’t just live in a space — you collaborate with it.

  The Discourse on Method is best known as the source of the famous quotation “cogito ergo sum”, “I think, therefore I am.” …. It is a method which gives a solid platform from which all modern natural sciences could evolve. With this work, the idea of skepticism was revived from the ancients such as Sextus Empiricus and modified to account for a truth that Descartes found to be incontrovertible. Descartes started his line of reasoning by doubting everything, so as to assess the world from a fresh perspective, clear of any preconceived notions.(Summary by Wikipedia)

  Uncivil War An - Taking Back Our...

  The author of the Washington Post’s hugely influential ""Plum Line"" sounds the alarm on the subversion of our democracy by self-interested politicians, greedy plutocrats, foreign government hacking, racial prejudice, media propaganda and our own lack of vigilance, and what must be done to save it before it’s too late. 
  The sophistication and ambition of those now eroding American democracy by gaming the rules in their favor is unprecedented, including computer-generated gerrymandering, unreasonable voter ID laws, limitations on voting hours, a lack of convenient polling places, and efforts to disenfranchise likely Democratic voters. This has been accompanied by foreign government intervention and an unprecedented level of political disinformation that threatens to undermine the very possibility of shared agreement on facts and poses profound new challenges to the media’s ability to inform the citizenry. 
  Yet it would be wrong to think that the problem is that Republicans alone have learned how to work the system—our electoral process is undermining itself from within: its dysfunctional rules incentivize vicious partisan efforts to tilt the playing field, combining in a toxic escalation of polarization and a frightening corrosion of basic norms that threaten to totally eradicate fair play in politics. 
  In An Uncivil War, Washington Post journalist Greg Sargent vividly lifts the curtain on the nightmare dynamic that is transforming American politics into little more than a naked power struggle. Yet An Uncivil War is not only a thorough dissection of an ultimately immoral system, but a handbook for turning that around by restoring authentic democracy. Given the incredibly high stakes in 2018 and 2020, Sargent’s book could not be more essential.

  Tarot in Other Words - An...

  Cassandra Snow's groundbreaking Queering the Tarot helped change the shape of tarot discourse for scores of new readers to reclaim this ancient practice in their own way. Tarot in Other Words opens doors for these brilliant tarotists, offering unique insights and concepts for tarot readers of all levels. Queerness will be a thematic thread running throughout the project, with individual essays tackling a variety of topics that expand on that theme in new and compelling ways. 
   
   
    
  Presented in two parts, the anthology comprises ten essays that shine a light on the tarot from multiple queer perspectives. Understanding queerness—and why it matters in tarot—can teach all of us so much about not just gender and sexuality but also how and why we should liberate ourselves in the first place. These essays on queerness show us that who we are is right, beautiful, and sacred. Queerness teaches us to honor differences in others and understand that what is good for one may not be good for all. There is a historical basis for why tarot and queerness go hand in hand: for a lot of cultures, such as the Romani and other oppressed groups forced into nomadic lifestyles, fortune-telling using cards and other tools was and is to this day survival work. This is the same reason we see so many queer, BIPOC, and disabled people take up tarot in the US.
