  In this 1997 conversation with Michael and Justine Toms, Alice Walker says “Something was lost when we took to heart traditional religious stories in which God is separate from nature. And something precious is regained when we honor our intrinsic sense of awe and worship toward nature, and our deep desire for connection with both nature and our human community.” 
  Walker is the author of many books including the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Color Purple (Simon & Schuster 1982) and Anything We Love Can Be Saved (Random House 1997). 
  Topics explored in this dialogue include: 
  •	The real nature of human nature 
  •	A new look at the stories of Adam and Eve, Sarah and Hagar 
  •	Why religious stories can be dangerous, and food should be free 
  •	Church life in the deep South 
  •	The story of one of Walker1s ancestors in slavery 
  •	A compassionate perspective on Winnie Mandela 
  •	Fidel Castro as champion of the Cuban people 
  •	Prison labor in the U.S. and China

  Caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or dementia is hard but with this book, you and your family will successfully face the challenges that these diseases present. 
   
  Dementia is a very common neurological disease of aging affecting millions of people in complex ways. There are multiple forms of the dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, and vascular dementia, among others, and many share features of slowly progressive and profound changes affecting memory, thinking, behavior, and personality. The disease often introduces personal and even financial strains, which can be at times hard to understand. Unfortunately, most forms of dementia have no definitive treatments to prevent, slow, or stop the progression, but there is a concerted effort in the scientific community to change this. There is a consistent hope that there will soon be a new era of scientific breakthroughs impacting dementia. Now, and in the future, patients with dementia, their friends, and their families need resources to successfully face the challenges introduced by the disease.Navigating Life with Dementia thoroughly covers the complexities of the dementias, the establishment of a diagnosis, what to expect throughout the stages of disease, and how to best anticipate and manage common problems.

  A journey through the evolving cosmos, considering how human survival will depend on otherworldly perspectives. 
   
  In David Whitehouse's most ambitious book to date he explores how human evolution has been intertwined with the workings of the cosmos from the very beginning, and what the far-distant future may hold, both for the universe and for ourselves. 
   
  Given enough time, Whitehouse contends, we must communicate with intelligent aliens whose divergent perspective will transform our understanding of the universe. First contact may even come sooner than we think. We have already transmitted signals towards promising exoplanets. If, say, Gliese 581d harbours life, the return signal could reach us in 2051. 
   
  Drawing the thread of human consciousness from the cave to the cosmos, the acclaimed author of Apollo 11: The Inside Story charts our future journey to the end of space and time, and considers whether something of humanity could remain at the end of it all.

  POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
  
  Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD for short, turns your entire life upside down. With the experience that triggered this mental disorder, you have gone to the limits of what is bearable and beyond. Whether you are affected yourself or a relative, you know exactly how fundamentally the rest of your life is shaped by the consequences of the traumatic event. But you are not powerless against it. Psychology now knows numerous methods that can help you reclaim your self-determination, and alongside professional therapy, your own initiative is at least as important. It essentially consists of two main elements: thought and awareness exercises provide you with concrete, easy-to-implement measures with which you can directly influence your perception and experience, and in addition, by acquiring comprehensive knowledge, you become an expert on your own illness – a decisive step on the path to self-empowerment.
