  Every day your body must solve hundreds of hard engineering problems simultaneously, or else you’ll die. Your body enables you to see and hear. It heals you from injuries and diseases. It maintains your temperature. It makes it possible for you to wield a sledgehammer during the day and play piano sonatas at night. Every minute your body choreographs a host of complex systems that are required for you to live. 
  Join engineer Steve Laufmann and physician Howard Glicksman as they take you on an incredible journey exploring some of your body’s greatest marvels, including how your hearing and vision work, how you coordinate your movements, and — perhaps the greatest miracle of them all — how you developed from a single cell at conception. Along the way, you will discover compelling evidence that our bodies are the handiwork of a master designer and engineer.

  Mind Refreshed - The Ancient...

  Mental Health, specifically anxiety, is the number one health issue worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This mind-illness is a tragic situation, but what is even more tragic is science, philosophy, and religion don't know what the mind is! How can you expect to alleviate anxiety when you don't understand the foundation? 
  Mind Refreshed broaches the crux of the matter. This book is a practical workbook following Sam Kneller's Mind-Body Problem Solved, where he explains what consciousness and mind are based on theology. Genesis 2:7 says God breathed neshama (the breath of life) into each human. This is consciousness. Job 32:8 reveals there's a second spirit in humans, the ruach. These two spirits work intimately to confer on humans their humanity. 
  Humanity can be summarized by the five traits of consciousness each human possesses: Reasoning, Purpose, Conduct, Socialization, and Rulership. When these traits are in alignment, there is a sense of peacefulness; the opposite leads to anxiety. 
  The key point to remember is that this mental makeup applies to all human beings regardless of race, beliefs, or gender. The solution to anxiety is Biblical, but it applies to all people because everyone possesses consciousness and a mind. Every person is diverse because each of us uses or misuses the above five traits differently. 
  Alleviating anxiety involves identifying the most manageable barriers to hurdle in these five areas of our lives and replacing them with doorways to walk through. The real question is, what are the doorways, and where do we find them? 
  Mind Refreshed reveals this. It is a practical workbook that will help you alleviate your anxiety slowly but surely and replace it with the peace you crave.

  From Chaos to Stability - How...

  Israel Rosenfield, Edward Ziff

  At the heart of Israel Rosenfield and Edward Ziff's inquiry is the nature of brain function. The sensory world is disordered and chaotic. There are no labels for tables, chairs, or airplanes, and indeed there are no colors, sounds, or smells, only photons, airwaves, odorant molecules, and so on, which are unlabeled and impossible to "know." 
   
   
   
  To make sense of this chaos, the brain must simplify the sensory inputs by creating, or inventing, the colors, sounds, smells, forms, and faces that are perceived in consciousness, which become a proxy for the chaotic world in which we live. The brain's ability to generalize and categorize these invented perceptions, and to relate them to one another, enables it to form memories, which are not fixed representations of things past, but a dynamic and malleable function of the brain that is relational. 
   
   
   
  When formation of these worlds breaks down, neurological differences arise. Although the mechanisms that transform sensory chaos into the simplified perceptions experienced in consciousness remain elusive, Rosenfield and Ziff relate what they have learned by means of imaging brain activity and by mapping the neural circuits that comprise memory traces. In addition, the authors offer perspectives for future studies of consciousness.

  Set in 2041 when England is dried up by climate change, this novel is seen through the eyes of 16-year-old Ishbel Saddler. Her Scottish mother has died, and drought and crop failure force her family to abandon their Cambridgeshire farm. They embark on a journey by wagon with horses, dogs and friends, their destination Scotland's northwest Highlands. But Scotland is now independent and those seeking its plentiful water are not welcome – crossing the patrolled Border is going to be challenging. On their journey through a decaying country the family face threats and hostility as well as kindness and support. It is a tale of determination and hope with echoes of the USA's pioneering overlanders and John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.
