  Not Even Wrong - A Father’s...

  When Paul Collins’s son Morgan was two years old, he could read, spell, and perform multiplication tables in his head … but not answer to his own name. A casual conversation—or any social interaction that the rest of us take for granted—will, for Morgan, always be a cryptogram that must be painstakingly decoded. He lives in a world of his own: an autistic world. 
  In Not Even Wrong, Paul Collins melds a memoir of his son’s autism with a journey into this realm of permanent outsiders. Examining forgotten geniuses and obscure medical archives, Collins’s travels take him from an English churchyard to the Seattle labs of Microsoft, and from a Wisconsin prison cell block to the streets of Vienna. It is a story that reaches from a lonely clearing in the Black Forest into the London palace of King George I, from Defoe and Swift to the discovery of evolution; from the modern dawn of the computer revolution to, in the end, the author’s own household. 
  Not Even Wrong is a haunting journey into the borderlands of neurology—a meditation on what “normal” is, and how human genius comes to us in strange and wondrous forms.

  "A nuanced look at America's legacy of scriptural language." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
   
   
   
  How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? 
   
   
   
  In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. 
   
   
   
  Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help listeners faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues—and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what listeners should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more. 
   
   
   
  Listeners will be encouraged to pursue a biblical basis for their political engagement with compassion and confidence.

  Pythagoras of Samos: The Life of...

  Ionia was one of the most important Greek settlements in Anatolia, and it was the home of Thales (626–548 BCE), an enterprising Greek philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer who is best known for predicting the 585 BCE solar eclipse, which brought an immediate halt to the fighting between the Lydians and Medes in modern-day Turkey. Anaximander of Miletus (610–546 BCE), an Ionian philosopher and student of Thales, pioneered a rational, non-mythological approach to astronomy by proposing a mechanical model of the cosmos. He introduced the Apeiron (the Limitless) as the fundamental, eternal source of all matter, from which all worlds are created and to which they return.  
  Pythagoras studied cosmology, geometry, and astronomy under Thales and his successor Anaximander, and by building on the legacies of their brilliant minds, Pythagoras refined and expanded upon their foundational concepts. However, he also went in a different direction, focusing on mysticism and numbers more than material principles. Known for his profound influence on Plato, Pythagoras defined himself as a lover of wisdom and a seeker of knowledge. As a key figure in the evolution of Western intellectual thought, his ideas have endured for millennia, impacting fields ranging from mathematics to philosophy. Alongside other influential Greek thinkers, Pythagoras helped shift focus toward self-examination, deeply influencing how we understand purpose and the universe.  
  Pythagoras’s most lasting legacy was in the field of mathematics, but mathematics was not merely a tool for measurement to him - it was the underlying language of the universe. One of his most famous statements, “Panta arithmos” (“All is Number”), is indicative of his belief that numbers were the essence, structure, and governing principle of the universe. He thought ratios and proportions of integers could explain all reality, including musical harmony, physical objects, and abstract concepts like justice.
