  Peter Kreeft

  Peter Kreeft, esteemed philosophy professor and author of over eighty books, has taught college philosophy for sixty years. Throughout those decades, he yearned for a beginner's philosophy text that was clear, accessible, enjoyable, and exciting (perhaps even funny). Finding none that met those criteria, he eventually decided to write it himself.  In this four-volume series, Kreeft delivers, with his characteristic wit and clarity, an introduction to philosophy via the hundred greatest philosophers of all time. Socrates’ Children examines the big ideas of four major eras―ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary―and immerses the reader in the “great conversation,” the ongoing dialogue among the great thinkers of history, including the most influential philosopher of all: Socrates, the father of Western philosophy.  Volume I: Ancient Philosophers investigates the foundations of philosophy laid by the ancient sages, Greeks, and Romans and introduces the philosophers who asked the first great philosophical questions―about good and evil; truth and falsehood; wisdom, beauty, and love; and the self, the world, and God.

  Neuropsychology - Cognitive...

  This title contains 2 books about similar topics, which are the following: 
  1: Your subconscious is a priceless potential repository of information, insight, and wisdom. But the majority of us never use that talent to its fullest. 
  Using hypnosis, you can access your subconscious. You can communicate with it immediately when under hypnosis. This can assist you in obtaining important knowledge and bringing about positive changes in your life. 
  Your subconscious is the area of your mind that generally escapes your awareness yet has a significant impact on how you live. 
  For instance, your subconscious has a role in controlling such essential bodily processes as breathing and heartbeat. 
  When you shake your head unconsciously, look away when lying, or suddenly get an inspiring thought "out of the blue," these are all signs that your subconscious is at work. 
  Additionally, you may not even be aware of the ideas and emotions stored in your subconscious, yet they can have a significant impact on your behavior and general well-being. 
  2: The study of the anatomy and operation of the nervous system and the brain is known as neuroscience. To map the brain mechanistically, neuroscientists draw on cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other fields. 
  Each neuron, or brain cell, in an adult human has an estimated 100 billion connections to other neurons. The mapping of all the cell-to-cell communication networks—the brain circuits that process all ideas, feelings, and behaviors—remains one of the major difficulties of contemporary neuroscience. The resulting image that gradually forms is referred described as "the connectome". All learning is based on the brain's capacity to build new neural circuits and connections, or neuroplasticity".

  When it comes to politics, the journey from the ballot box to public office is often perceived as a noble path, driven by a desire to serve the public and make a positive impact on society. However, lurking behind the scenes is a darker side of politics, rife with corruption, crime, and their far-reaching consequences. From Ballots to Mugshots: A Study of Political Corruption, Crime, and Consequences in the U.S. peels back the curtain on the insidious world of political corruption, revealing its many forms and the mechanisms that enable it. 
   
  Delve deep into the world of financial crimes, such as bribery and embezzlement, and explore the abuse of power through coercion, nepotism, and manipulation. The book also examines moral failings, personal indiscretions, and high crimes like treason and espionage that have plagued American politics for centuries. The narrative carefully navigates the intricacies of the judicial process, detailing the path from investigation and indictment to trial, sentencing, and the aftermath of conviction.  
   
  Authoritative and meticulously researched, this book not only exposes the dark underbelly of American politics but also provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of corruption, from the role of lobbyists and campaign finance to the power of patronage. The book also examines the role of the media, ethics committees, and public vigilance in holding those in power accountable and preventing corruption. The aftermath of political corruption is thoroughly analyzed, detailing its political, social, and personal fallout, as well as the processes that follow a vacant seat and life after conviction. From Ballots to Mugshots also offers a glimmer of hope by discussing potential solutions and preventative measures that can be implemented to curb political corruption and its detrimental effects. This compelling read is essential for anyone interested in American politics, law, and social justice.
