Summary

In this thought-provoking and wide-ranging book, Pasquale De Marco explores the foundations of knowledge, delving into the complex interplay between common sense, science, and skepticism. Drawing on a variety of sources, including philosophy, history, science, and literature, Pasquale De Marco provides a comprehensive and accessible examination of this fundamental aspect of the human condition.

The book begins with an exploration of the nature of knowledge itself. What is knowledge, and how do we acquire it? Pasquale De Marco examines different theories of knowledge, ranging from the rationalism of Plato and Descartes to the empiricism of Locke and Hume. Pasquale De Marco also considers the limits of knowledge, recognizing that there are some things that we may never be able to know.

Next, the book turns its attention to skepticism, a philosophical tradition that questions the possibility of knowledge. Pasquale De Marco examines the arguments of famous skeptics such as Pyrrho and Sextus Empiricus, who argued that all our beliefs are ultimately uncertain. Pasquale De Marco also considers the implications of skepticism, and the ways in which it can challenge our most fundamental assumptions about the world.

In contrast to skepticism, common sense is a body of beliefs and practices that are widely held to be true and reliable. Pasquale De Marco explores the role of common sense in knowledge, examining how it shapes our understanding of the world and our interactions with others. Pasquale De Marco also considers the limits of common sense, recognizing that it can sometimes lead us astray.

The book then examines the role of science in knowledge, exploring the methods of science, including observation, experimentation, and hypothesis testing. Pasquale De Marco also considers the ways in which science has revolutionized our understanding of the world, and the limits of science, recognizing that there are some things that science may never be able to explain.

Finally, the book explores the relationship between knowledge and the good life. Pasquale De Marco considers the role of knowledge in achieving happiness, fulfillment, and meaning. Pasquale De Marco also considers the limits of knowledge, recognizing that there are some things that we may never be able to know.

Throughout the book, Pasquale De Marco engages with the work of contemporary thinkers who are exploring new and innovative ways of understanding the nature of knowledge. Pasquale De Marco also provides readers with thought-provoking questions and exercises to help them reflect on their own beliefs and assumptions about the world.

    This book is not about fixing first responders, it is about empowering first responders to care for themselves; and to be better armed to disarm their own stressed responses. The processes shared in this book are simple, fast, and intuitive. Under each first responder's figurative or literal armor is a human doing important work.  
You have your service weapon, your taser, your pepper spray, and your handcuffs, but your toolbelt is incomplete without your dignity.  
"The timing of this book couldn't be better to serve as a perfect resource and tool for emotional wellness". - Brad F., Chief of Police 
"This book is not just a "good read". It is a deep dive into an essential skill for 21st-century police officers". - Rick R., Chaplain 
Marcel and Dan are teachers, coaches, practitioners, and mindful human beings. Our goal is to be a spark for good a pilot light, always there, ready and waiting to ignite a bigger flame. Our pasts can be broken down into two eras; what we were like before we became emotionally literate and what we are like now.  
Our highest hope is that you will read these pages and come to realize that t is time for you to reconsider your emotional understanding and competence for the sake of your well-being and the well-being of those you care about.

    While the modern science of medicine often seems nothing short of miraculous, religion still plays an important role in the past and present of many hospitals. When three-quarters of Americans believe that God can cure people who have been given little or no chance of survival by their doctors, how do today’s technologically sophisticated health care organizations address spirituality and faith? 
  
Through a combination of interviews with nurses, doctors, and chaplains across the United States and close observation of their daily routines, Wendy Cadge takes readers inside major academic medical institutions to explore how today’s doctors and hospitals address prayer and other forms of religion and spirituality. From chapels to intensive care units to the morgue, hospital caregivers speak directly in these pages about how religion is part of their daily work in visible and invisible ways. In Paging God: Religion in the Halls of Medicine, Cadge shifts attention away from the ongoing controversy about whether faith and spirituality should play a role in health care and back to the many ways that these powerful forces already function in healthcare today.

    The Gangs of New York: An Informal History of the Underworld is an American non-fiction book by Herbert Asbury, first published in 1928 by Alfred A. Knopf. It formed the basis for Martin Scorsese's 2002 Academy Award-winning film Gangs of New York, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Cameron Diaz. 
In 1927, Asbury published an article in The American Mercury, titled "The Old-Time Gangs of New York", which was ultimately incorporated into the book published the following year. Drawing on the muckraking style of the era, the author wrote based on "legend, memory, police records, the self-aggrandizements of aging crooks, popular journalism, and solid historical research", to present an illuminating account of the gangs of old New York that ultimately gave rise to the Mafia as we know it today, from films like The Godfather. 
The book outlines the rise and fall of 19th century gangs in New York City, prior to the domination of the Italian-American Mafia during Prohibition in the 1920s. Focusing on the saloon halls, gambling dens, and winding alleys of the Bowery and the Five Points district of Lower Manhattan, the book evokes the destitution and violence of a turbulent era, when colorfully named criminals like "Dandy" Johnny Dolan, William Poole (also known as "Bill the Butcher"), and Hell-Cat Maggie lurked in the shadows, corrupt politicians like William "Boss" Tweed run the city, and infamous gangs including the Plug Uglies, Dead Rabbits, and Bowery Boys ruled the streets. It includes a rogues' gallery of prostitutes, pimps, poisoners, pickpockets, murderers, and thieves. 
The book contains detailed accounts of the New York City Draft Riots of 1863. It also elaborates on numerous other criminal influences of the time, including river pirates and the corrupt political establishment, such as Tammany Hall.
