Sinossi

"Big Ben" explores the rich history and architectural significance of London's iconic clock tower, a symbol of Victorian England and British identity. It delves into the Palace of Westminster's rebuilding after the 1834 fire, highlighting Charles Barry's architectural vision and Augustus Pugin's intricate designs. The book uncovers the story behind the clock's creation, revealing how its innovative double three-legged gravity escapement ensured unparalleled accuracy, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with timekeeping and industrial progress. The book recounts the challenges in constructing the tower and the contributions of Edmund Beckett Denison, the horologist behind the clock mechanism. It also examines the bell itself, tracing its origins and the difficulties faced during its creation. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, including architectural plans and parliamentary records, "Big Ben" provides a comprehensive account of the landmark's construction and its enduring legacy. The narrative progresses chronologically, from the initial design competition to the recent 21st-century renovations, offering insights into the engineering, social, and political contexts that shaped Big Ben. It weaves an interdisciplinary narrative, connecting architectural history with the history of engineering and the study of national symbols, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in architecture, history, or British culture.

    In a quiet and unassuming way, Contraduction is utterly brilliant. Every page has a thought so deep and unexpected that it stops you in your tracks, as you not only realize, “That’s a different, really interesting way to think about the world, exactly the opposite of how I normally view things” but also, “And it is absolutely equally valid (and enriching) to adopt this opposite way of thinking.” I loved this book. — Robert Sapolsky, author of The Blank Slate and Determined.An ingenious word for an invaluable concept. Sharp, clear, and timely. — Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and the author of The Blank Slate and RationalityBoth a delightful read and a penetrating argument: Barker has invented an invaluable new concept, and puts it to work with clarity, wit, and above all conclusiveness. A must-have book! — A. C. Grayling, author of The History of Philosophy and The God ArgumentI am completely down with the concept of contraduction. It fills a need. False pattern recognitions pose a real danger to our survival. Well done! — Ann Druyan, author (with Carl Sagan) of Cosmos, Contact, and Demon Haunted WorldI love it when brilliant ideas are conveyed clearly and soundly. That’s why I love this book. Dan Barker has provided a much-needed explication of a common fallacy that needs to be understood and rebutted. It is an engaging, enlightening, and insightful book.—Phil Zuckerman, author of Society Without God and What it Means to be MoralWith Contraduction, Dan Barker gives us a new word—and a new way of looking at things. I thoroughly enjoyed this! So much to think about—and it made me laugh. What else could I ask for? — Kate Cohen, contributing columnist for the Washington Post and author of We of Little FaithI love how Dan Barker offers us a new word to help us understand how to think rationally in a fun, simple way. I will never look at my reflection in the mirror the same! — Bailey Harris, author of My Name is Stardust

    The Communal Heart - A Return to...

    Belonging is remembered, together. 
    We are living in a time of profound fragmentation—within ourselves, between one another, and across the very systems meant to hold us together. In the midst of this unraveling, many of us feel the ache for belonging without knowing how to return to it. 
    Beneath this experience lies a deeper crisis, not simply of politics or technology, but of relationship itself. We have become highly skilled at optimizing, managing, and performing. Yet in narrowing our attention toward efficiency and control, we have sacrificed the very presence that allows trust to grow. 
    The Communal Heart offers a different starting point. Rather than prescribing quick fixes or reinforcing familiar self-improvement narratives, this book invites readers into a relational understanding of reality, one rooted in presence, attunement, and the quiet intelligence that emerges when we learn to meet life as it is rather than as we wish it to be. 
    Drawing on clinical experience, neuroscience, and embodied practice, Claudia Dommaschk shows how the divisions we see in today's culture mirror a subtle split within ourselves. As we begin the work of integration, something steadier becomes possible: relationships can withstand tension, communities become grounded in dignity, and a deeper sense of connection takes hold, even in a world pulling us apart. 
    This is not a call to agree more. It is an invitation to relate differently and, in doing so, to remember that belonging has always been there, waiting to welcome us home.
