Sinossi

Highway System explores the transformative impact of the U.S. Interstate Highway System on American economics, transportation, and urban development. This book details how the construction of this vast network reshaped the nation's landscape and fueled unprecedented economic growth. The book argues that while the highway system acted as a catalyst for economic growth and increased mobility, it also reshaped American society in unforeseen ways, creating both opportunities and challenges. The book examines the historical context that led to the Interstate Highway System's creation, the economic benefits it generated, and the transformative effects on urban and suburban development. For example, the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 was a pivotal moment, illustrating how political decisions directly impacted transportation policy and economic prosperity. It further quantifies productivity gains, supply chain efficiencies, and increased tourism, while also analyzing the impact on urban sprawl and the decline of inner cities. The book progresses through initial concepts, details political battles, delves into economic impacts, analyzes effects on urban sprawl, and examines ongoing maintenance challenges. Using government documents, economic reports, and GIS mapping, it connects to urban planning, environmental science, and political science. It provides a balanced perspective, acknowledging both the successes and shortcomings, making it valuable for understanding the highway system's lasting legacy.

    A life-changing guide to understanding your brain and how to change it—for good.Break Through the Limits of the Brain explores the neuroscience of sacred, superconscious experience. It offers proven ways to break through the brain’s limits into a life-changing, life-enhancing awareness that is beyond our everyday consciousness; an awareness that is intuitive, creative, energized, joyful, and spirit-filled. Selbie explains how and why the brain’s neural circuits reinforce thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep us immersed in limited conscious awareness—and how radical neuroplasticity enables our innate ability to rewire the brain to break through to unlimited superconscious awareness. The book offers many practices: the Hong Sau technique of meditation for deepening concentration, energization exercises for increasing life-force and vitality, methodical introspection techniques for identifying neurally reinforced negative patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior and affirmations for directly rewiring them. These practices will help you bring superconscious awareness into your life that enables, awakens, and supports success, vitality, creativity, health, peace of mind, and lasting, fulfilling happiness.Break Through the Limits of the Brain provides strong scientific support for superconscious awareness; scientific support provided by quantum physics and M-theory for the existence of a subtle, nonlocal reality; a reality in which we exist simultaneously with physical reality; a reality of which we can become aware by breaking through the limits of the brain. The book debunks scientific materialism’s brain-based explanation for consciousness and intelligence—the brain-as-supercomputer model—and explains the view of many prominent and open-minded scientists that an all-pervading intelligent consciousness is not only the source of our own consciousness but also the foundation of reality—an age-old sacred belief shared by saints, sages, mystics, and those who’ve had near-death experiences.Meditation is a central theme of the book—what it is; how to do it; why it works; its physical, mental, and emotional benefits as measured by neuroscientists; and how it rewires the brain for us to experience superconscious awareness and to achieve whatever we put our mind to.
