Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small (9780875420288): Ted Andrews. Do Deficits Matter? by Daniel Shaviro. The introduction toDo Deficits Matter? Daniel Shaviro Few topics in American politics are more discussed and less understood than the federal budget deficit. We frequently hear that deficit reduction is vital to our prosperity, but we rarely hear why this might be so. The deficit is blamed for all manner of economic ills, ranging from high interest rates to unemployment to the trade deficit to the low rate of national saving to low productivity growth—whichever seems most crucial at the moment—but little attention is paid to why it might have any of these effects. The near unanimity in public discourse about the evil of deficits might seem to suggest that economists are similarly unanimous. In fact, however, they disagree fundamentally about whether deficits matter, and, if so, then why.
They have been debating these issues for more than two centuries, with consensus occasionally emerging but not persisting. 4) Is the budget deficit a meaningful economic measure?

Most of us avoid thinking about what happens when oil runs out (or becomes prohibitively expensive), but The Transition Handbook shows how the inevitable and profound changes ahead can have a positive outcome. These changes can lead to the rebirth of local communities, which will grow more of their own food, generate their own power, and build their own houses using local materials.

Walden III: In Search of a Utopian Nirvana (9780967036267): Stephen Wolinsky. Books. By Jean Klein DIALOGUES BETWEEN JEAN KLEIN and his students and friends, during recent seminars in the United States and Europe, form the text of this illuminating book. In many different settings and circumstances, Jean Klein casts and re-casts the teaching of Advaita, addressing each individual in his or her own uniqueness, while at the same time demonstrating the oneness of being.
These far-reaching exchanges - exploring almost every aspect of self-knowledge - show that it is only through living fully in "not knowing" that we can awaken to our real nature: the "I AM" of pure consciousness. In addition, Jean Klein discusses for the first time his early life, his meetings with his teacher in India, and the moment of his awakening. The result is an inspiring prologue that not only gives us an intimate look at this remarkable teacher and the discoveries he made in his search for truth, but also makes clear the immediate accessibility of these discoveries to every earnest seeker.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. William James. William James (January 11, 1842 – August 26, 1910) was an American philosopher and psychologist who was also trained as a physician. The first educator to offer a psychology course in the United States,[2] James was one of the leading thinkers of the late nineteenth century and is believed by many to be one of the most influential philosophers the United States has ever produced, while others have labelled him the "Father of American psychology".[3][4][5] Along with Charles Sanders Peirce and John Dewey, he is considered to be one of the greatest figures associated with the philosophical school known as pragmatism, and is also cited as one of the founders of the functional psychology.
He also developed the philosophical perspective known as radical empiricism. James' work has influenced intellectuals such as Émile Durkheim, W. E. B. Du Bois, Edmund Husserl, Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Hilary Putnam, and Richard Rorty.[6] Early life[edit] Career[edit] Writings[edit] Creative Evolution (book) Creative Evolution (French: L'Évolution créatrice) is a 1907 book by French philosopher Henri Bergson. Its English translation appeared in 1911. The book provides an alternate explanation for Darwin's mechanism of evolution, suggesting that evolution is motivated by an élan vital, a "vital impetus" that can also be understood as humanity's natural creative impulse. The book was very popular in the early decades of the twentieth century, before the Neodarwinian synthesis was developed.
[citation needed] Harvard philosopher William James intended to write the introduction to the English translation of the book, but died in 1910 prior to its completion.

He published a major work of the modern evolutionary synthesis, Genetics and the Origin of Species, in 1937. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1964,[3] and the Franklin Medal in 1973. Biography[edit] Early life[edit] Dobzhansky was born on January 24, 1900 in Nemyriv, Ukraine.

Inspired by the rock-star entrepreneurs of previous generations and driven by a burning desire to control their own destinies, GenY is rewriting the entrepreneurial playbook one cool startup at a time. Inc. magazine contributing editor Donna Fenn interviewed more than 150 young CEOs to learn what makes them tick. While upstarts are motivated by similar aspirations of past generations, their way of doing business is radically different—and it’s changing the way everyone must do business now. Upstarts!

Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets, Agora Series, William Bonner, (9780470112328) Hardcover - Barnes & Noble. Not worth the price This book contains some obvious truths which should be self-evident to anyone with half a brain. However since some folks follow the mob, perhaps they need telling again. Trouble is the style is pompous, over-stated, and patronising, and leaves you feeling the authors are trying to impress with words to make up for the absence of real content. I would not recommend it. If you want financial advice, there are loads of independent advisers who do NOT follow the mob, who can guide you for free.

To appear in the journal Computing and Informatics. Push Singh 28 October 2003 push@mit.edu Media Lab Massachusetts Institute of Technology 20 Ames Street Cambridge, MA 02139 United States Abstract This article examines Marvin Minsky's Society of Mind theory of human cognition. The functions performed by the brain are the products of the work of thousands of different, specialized sub-systems, the intricate product of hundreds of millions of years of biological evolution.
What is the human mind and how does it work? In seeking answers to these questions, Minsky does not search for a 'basic principle' from which all cognitive phenomena somehow emerge, for example, some universal method of inference, all-purpose representation, or unifying mathematical theory. Minsky introduces the term agent to refer to the simplest individuals that populate such societies of mind. This article examines the Society of Mind theory.
