  Phenomenology - The Study of...

  Phenomenology is a branch of philosophy that delves into the structures of experience and consciousness, aiming to understand how individuals perceive and interact with the world around them. At its core, phenomenology seeks to examine the nature of subjective experience and the ways in which our consciousness engages with phenomena, offering insights into the nature of reality from a first-person perspective. This philosophical approach was pioneered by Edmund Husserl in the early 20th century, and it has since evolved to influence numerous disciplines, from psychology to cognitive science and beyond. 
  The essence of phenomenology lies in its commitment to the lived experience. Unlike traditional philosophy, which often abstracts reality through logic and reason, phenomenology emphasizes the importance of understanding the world as it is experienced by individuals. This involves focusing on the way things appear to consciousness before any interpretation or theoretical assumptions are made. In this sense, phenomenology is concerned with describing and analyzing the direct, lived experience of human beings, often referred to as the “phenomenon” in phenomenological terms.

  The Kingdom of the Isles -...

  This study explores the history of the western seaboard of Scotland (the Hebrides, Argyll and the Isle of Man) in a formative but often neglected era: the central middle ages, from the mightly Somerled to his descendant John MacDonald, the first Lord of the Isles (c. 1336).
  Drawing on a variety of sources, this very readable narrative deals with three major and closely interrelated themes: first, the existence of the Isles and coastal mainland as a kingdom from c.1100 to 1266; second, the rulers of the region, Somerled and his descendants, the MacDougalls, MacDonalds and MacRuaris; and third, the often complex relations among the Isles, Scotland, Norway and England. A fully rounded history emerges, which transcends national viewpoints.
  While political history predominates, the changing nature of society in the isles is emphasised throughout, and separate chapters address the church and monasticism as well as the monuments – the castles, monasteries, churches and chapels that form an enduring legacy.

  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".

  Against the Grain - How Farmers...

  Roger Thurow

  Farmers in some of the world's oldest agricultural areas were toiling year after year, only to find that modern industrial agriculture was turning on itself. Industrial agriculture's effects on our climate and environment were multiplying and worsening, until the very families growing the world's food were starving. 
   
   
   
  They terraced the land to catch more rainwater and prevent soil runoff; they planted a diverse range of vegetables that would balance the nutrients in the soil; they replaced commercial fertilizers with organic matter from their own farms; they planted more trees and drought-resistant grains; and, perhaps most importantly, they taught their communities by example that these regenerative farming methods paid off—both in nourishing their families and in bringing their land back to life. 
   
   
   
  Award-winning author and journalist Roger Thurow has traveled to Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, India, Guatemala, Peru, and the United States to share their stories, highlighting the conflicts inherent in our most important human endeavor: feeding the world using the methods of industrial agriculture is stripping the land of its ability to feed future generations. But these farmers are starting a new kind of revolution, nourishing both humans and the land, and following their lead could help us solve one of the great crises of our time.
