  Finding Out

  I AM 
  Like you 
  Living through dreams 
  Making deals with desire 
  Bullied by fears 
  Tethered to memory’s ghosts 
  Finding Out is a warm invitation to join me on a walk through the tangled pathways we all trek. Themes range from the pain of adolescent self-consciousness, to the security of friends, to the fire of romance, to our yearning to grasp the cosmos. The poetic images and metaphors explore—in both contemporary and classical verse forms—who are we? How can we deal with life’s complications and be happy, and what is this astonishing epic we call life? 
  Finding Out echoes my deepest fears and desires, and my greatest joys and hopes, inviting you to explore your own path toward happiness and enlightenment. 
  Several poems celebrate the art of writing itself: writing is a powerful technique to peel back the layers of conditioning smothering our true Selves. I hope they inspire you to polish your writing skills too. 
  The connecting thread through the poems is our shared longing 
  to Find Out of the Maze, 
  from youthful insecurities 
  to realizing 
  our little life 
  is just our latest dream 
  since 
  The Big Bang detonated, 
  The Universe exploded into Consciousness, 
  And the cosmic dream began

  The impeachment of Donald Trump as told by a member of Congress with a front-row seat to history. 
   
  Historians will look back over time at the events of the fall of 2019 and the impeachment of Donald J. Trump, and will debate the merits of the charges and the circumstances that caused the whole debacle. In The Clock and the Calendar,  
  Congressman Doug Collins will explain why the impeachment was not really about a phone call with a foreign leader or how the president conducted himself; no, it was not even about the Russia investigation that had fizzled just months before  
  these proceedings. What happened in the halls of Congress during this time was merely a date with a destiny that was dreamed of by Democrats still feeling the sting of bitter tears in Brooklyn on the night that Donald Trump derailed the  
  coronation of Hillary Clinton. It was on that night that the mainstream media was stunned and brought to tears, and the Washington establishment shook to their very core, that the seed was planted. We may not have won tonight, they said, but  
  we will never let this stand. Instead of looking to win again in four years, the movement began to look for another solution. Seeds had already been sown: the way was impeachment and that was the destiny they sought.

  Expressly Human - Decoding The...

  Over billions of years of evolution, animals have become increasingly sophisticated and increasingly sentient. In the process, they evolved emotions, which helped improve their odds of survival in complex situations. These emotions were, at first, purely internal. But at some point, social animals began expressing their emotions, in increasingly dramatic ways. These emotional expressions could accurately reflect internal emotions (smiling to express happiness)—or they could be quite different (smiling to cover up that you're actually furious, but can't tell your boss that). 
   
   
    
  Why did once-stone-faced animals evolve to be so emotionally expressive—to be us? The answer, as evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi and mathematician Tim Barber reveal, is that emotional expressions are our first and most important language—one that allows us, as social animals, to engage in highly sophisticated communications and negotiations. 
   
   
    
  Expressly Human introduces an original theory that explains, from first principles, how the broad range of emotional expressions evolved, and provides a Rosetta Stone for human communication. It will revolutionize the way you see every social interaction, from deciding who gets the last slice of pizza to multimillion-dollar business negotiations, and change your definition of what makes us human.

  Psychologist Kenneth Barish explains the sources and consistency of our political beliefs and why we continue to disagree about fundamental issues in American life. He offers antidotes to the angry, repetitive, and unproductive arguments that now dominate our political culture. Barish teaches us how to listen, think, and speak about our political opinions in a way that allows us to understand each other's concerns, resist false dichotomies and ideological certainty, see new perspectives and possibilities, and find common ground. The concluding chapter shows how we can move beyond partisan divisions toward pragmatic solutions and a better future for America's children. 
   
   
   
  This fundamentally hopeful book is an essential listen for students in all areas of study, for professionals in the fields of conflict resolution, communication, political science, and social psychology, and for anyone seeking to improve the quality of their conversations with people who may disagree with them, in both politics and in their personal relationships.
