Paranormal Zones

Joslan F. Keller

The ghosts of Hollywood, the death of Edgar Allan Poe, the loving Martian, the Zone of Silence, cursed diamonds. Joslan F. Keller tells us eighteen disturbing stories that defy reason. Eighteen paranormal zones from around the world, all authentic and documented by the author, which shake our certainties—the unexplained phenomena in the sky, the incursions into the world of spirits, encounters with unusual characters, close encounters with UFOs, visits to disturbing places.

Doesn't the improbable arise from our still-limited knowledge and our inability to rationally explain phenomena that go beyond our understanding? The world is neither black nor white. Are there not an infinite number of grey areas, at the frontiers of the unknown, dominated by forces whose mechanisms are little explored, or not at all?

Conscious - A Brief Guide to the...

Anônimo

2020 Audie Finalist  
As concise and enlightening as Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, this mind-expanding dive into the mystery of consciousness is an illuminating meditation on the self, free will, and felt experience. 
What is consciousness? How does it arise? And why does it exist? We take our experience of being in the world for granted. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious? How are we able to think about this? And why should we? 
In this wonderfully accessible audiobook, Annaka Harris guides us through the evolving definitions, philosophies, and scientific findings that probe our limited understanding of consciousness. Where does it reside, and what gives rise to it? Could it be an illusion, or a universal property of all matter? As we try to understand consciousness, we must grapple with how to define it and, in the age of artificial intelligence, who or what might possess it. 
Conscious offers lively and challenging arguments that alter our ideas about consciousness—allowing us to think freely about it for ourselves, if indeed we can.
