  The Dawn of Mind - How Matter...

  James Cooke PhD

  Although consciousness is at the very center of who we are, its exact nature continues to confound modern science. From where does consciousness originate? At our core, are we material bodies or immaterial conscious minds? Many assume that consciousness is a product of our complex brains, a product of evolution—and yet, there is no evolutionary reason that a mechanical function of the brain should allow us to enjoy the beauty of a sunrise or become intoxicated with the smell of rain on dry earth. If consciousness is not the product of sophisticated human brains, might the nonhuman living world be conscious? If so, where does that place us in relation to the rest of life on Earth—and what does this imply about our domination and plundering of the natural world for resources? Dr. James Cooke is no stranger to intricate and existential questions such as these, and he confronts them head-on in his compelling, inventive, revolutionary new book, The Dawn of Mind: How Matter Became Conscious and Alive. Weaving together cutting-edge science and the contemplative insights that arise from mystical experience, as occurs with meditation and the emerging therapeutic paradigm of psychedelic medicine, Cooke radically redraws our understanding of what it truly means to be who we are.

  Dr. David Sandberg, an internationally renown pediatric neurosurgeon, combines his deep scientific and medical knowledge with raw emotion and unforgettably powerful stories of courage and love. The brain is the most complicated and perplexing of our organs, and it is also the one that makes us human. When it comes to a child's brain, the hearts of those who love them become inextricably linked to that story. 
   
   
   
  In Brain and Heart, Dr. Sandberg describes the joy, heartbreak, uncertainty, and physical and emotional challenges that come with performing brain surgery on children. While most medical memoirs focus largely on the patient perspective, Dr. Sandberg allows listeners access to his private thoughts when making agonizing decisions. 
   
   
   
  A father himself, Dr. Sandberg understands deeply how every one of his patients is an entire world, and his devotion to his patients and his work shines through. We follow him as he finds his way to neurosurgery as a young doctor through to his most heartbreaking cases and greatest triumphs. We also travel with him to underserved countries, where lifesaving surgeries that are common here are almost nonexistent, and Dr. Sandberg shares the stories of the dedicated doctors and surgeons trying to enact change. Brain and Heart is an unforgettable book that will strengthen our sense of compassion and hope.

  What happens when the universe runs out of light? 
  Not tomorrow. Not in a billion years. But eventually — according to modern cosmology and the laws of thermodynamics — every star will die. The galaxies will go dark. Black holes will evaporate. Even matter itself may decay into radiation, leaving behind an empty universe drifting toward eternal silence. 
  In this deep, atmospheric journey through the far future of the cosmos, we explore the complete timeline of the universe — from the Cosmic Dark Ages after the Big Bang, through the age of stars and galaxies, all the way to the final Heat Death of reality itself. 
  This audiobook covers: 
  * The birth of the first stars after the Big Bang 
  * The Cosmic Microwave Background 
  * The Stelliferous Era and the slow death of star formation 
  * Red dwarfs and the last surviving stars 
  * White dwarfs, black dwarfs, and proton decay 
  * The Milky Way–Andromeda collision 
  * Black holes and Hawking radiation 
  * The Black Hole Era 
  * Heat Death and maximum entropy 
  * Boltzmann brains and quantum fluctuations 
  * The ultimate fate of time, matter, and consciousness 
  Inspired by real cosmology, astrophysics, thermodynamics, and the latest observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, this is a slow, immersive exploration of the deepest future science can currently imagine. 
  The universe will go dark one day.
