A World Appears in Consciousness - How Awareness Creates Reality Meaning and the Self with Michael Pollan’s Exploration on Nature’s Greatest Mysteries

William Hartley

Sinopse

What if the world you know does not exist first in space and matter, but first in awareness?Before there are objects, explanations, or stories, there is experience. Color, sound, memory, emotion, and identity all arise within consciousness, shaping reality as it is lived. A World Appears in Consciousness is a wide-ranging and deeply human exploration of that central mystery: what consciousness is, how it works, and why it matters.Drawing on neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, phenomenology, spirituality, and emerging research in artificial intelligence, this book traces consciousness from its biological roots to its most expansive possibilities. It examines how the brain constructs reality, how memory and imagination shape time, how the sense of self emerges and dissolves, and how altered states reveal the mind’s hidden flexibility. Along the way, it confronts some of the most enduring questions of human existence: free will and agency, meaning and purpose, suffering and flourishing, and the ethical implications of awareness in a technological age.Rather than offering a single definitive theory, A World Appears in Consciousness weaves together multiple perspectives into a coherent and accessible narrative. Scientific insights are paired with lived experience. Rigorous analysis is balanced with reflection. Complex ideas are made intelligible without being oversimplified. The result is not just an explanation of consciousness, but an invitation to see experience itself more clearly.This book is for readers who sense that understanding consciousness is not merely an academic pursuit, but a deeply personal one. For those curious about the mind and the nature of reality. For those drawn to the intersection of science and meaning. And for anyone who has ever paused and wondered how it is that a world appears at all.To explore consciousness is to explore the ground of being human. This book invites you into that exploration, not to escape the world, but to encounter it more fully, as it continually appears within awareness.

Greek Mythology for Kids -...

Odessa Nightshade

Greek mythology is a collection of ancient stories that have been passed down for centuries, each telling tales of gods, heroes, and creatures that shaped the ancient Greek world. These myths were more than just stories; they were a way for the ancient Greeks to understand the world around them, the forces of nature, and the workings of their society. Through mythology, they explained the origin of the world, the relationships between gods and mortals, and the struggles that defined human existence. In this book, we’ll explore some of the most important myths, focusing on the gods, goddesses, and heroes that continue to capture the imagination of children and adults alike.
One of the fascinating aspects of Greek mythology is its variety. From the mighty Zeus, ruler of the heavens, to the brave Heracles, known for his twelve famous labors, each story is filled with adventure, mystery, and valuable life lessons. These stories often involve epic journeys, fierce battles, and daring feats, but they also teach lessons about friendship, loyalty, bravery, and the consequences of pride. As we dive into the myths, you’ll encounter gods who control the elements, heroes who fight against impossible odds, and creatures like the mighty Minotaur and the terrifying Medusa, all of whom play essential roles in the adventures that make up these ancient tales.
Greek mythology also has a special connection to the human experience. Although the gods were powerful, they had their flaws—jealousy, pride, and anger—making them relatable to people of all ages. The gods’ actions often mirrored the struggles and emotions that humans face every day. While gods and goddesses lived in a realm above humanity, they frequently interacted with mortals, and their actions had direct consequences for the human world.

Where You'll Find Me - Risk...

Ty Gagne

On February 15, 2015, Kate Matrosova, an avid mountaineer, set off before sunrise for a traverse of the Northern Presidential Range in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Late the following day, rescuers carried her frozen body out of the mountains amid some of the worst weather ever recorded on these deceptively rugged slopes. 
 
 
 
At thirty-two, Matrosova was ultra-fit and healthy and had already summited much larger mountains on several continents. Her gear included a rescue beacon and a satellite phone. Yet, despite their best efforts, more than forty expert search and rescue personnel, a New Hampshire Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter, and a Civil Air Patrol Cessna airplane could not reach her in time to save her. 
 
 
 
What went wrong? 
 
 
 
Where You'll Find Me offers possible answers to that question, demonstrating why Matrosova's story—what we know and what we will never know—represents such an intriguing and informative case study in risk analysis and decision-making.

Trans Studies in K-12 Education...

Mario I. Suarez, Melinda Mangin

Edited by two prominent figures in trans studies, Mario I. Suárez and Melinda M. Mangin, Trans Studies in K–12 Education brings together scholars and professionals to explore why and how schools should affirm gender diversity and challenge gender-based inequities. 
 
 
 
Gathering a wealth of evidence, the book's contributors expose the prevailing norm of gendered environments, which are entrenched in the very design and execution of educational research. The collection also lays out a critical overview of US laws and policies related to gender equity, gender identity, and gender expression and how these frameworks impact educational environments. These findings draw attention to deficit-oriented, pathologizing ideologies that surround nonconforming gender identities and the detrimental, often traumatizing effects on transgender students and educators. 
 
 
 
Throughout, the contributors recommend methods for establishing gender-affirming research, policy, and practice. They outline the sociopolitical and legal pathways that trans and nonbinary students and school employees may use to secure education and workplace rights. They discuss the positive gains made by professional development for teachers, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and community programs that successfully support transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals.
