Book Description
This primer on essential scientific literacy gives readers the basics to understand themselves and the world around them, plus a glimpse of how much more science has to offer. Science tells us a good deal about who we are, where we come from, the nature of the universe, how our brains work, and much, much more. Unfortunately, most people are largely unaware of this treasure trove of information. As a result, we are more prone to do things like aim nuclear weapons at each other, inflate the meaning of cultural differences, lay waste to the land, poison and deplete the oceans, fill the sky with carbon, and generally make poor judgments that cause needless trouble. This book seeks to remedy this situation by providing scientific answers to the most basic yet important questions about existence. Following the standard six-question list used by journalists researching a news story, critical-thinking advocate Guy P. Harrison turns to science to answer the who, what, why, when, where and how of life on Earth. How old is our planet? Where did it come from and where is it located in the universe? What is everything made of? When did life begin? Who are we as a species and what connections do we share with other life forms? Why is human culture continuously plagued by war, disease, and crime? Harrison not only offers science's best current answers to these crucial questions but shows how all of this information fits together. Going well beyond the simplistic factoids readily available on any smartphone, he reveals the wider implications and deeper meanings inherent in the scientific worldview. Both entertaining and informative, this exciting tour of the cosmos and human nature will leave readers with an accurate, up-to-date view of realities small and large, near and far.

Book Description
The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever. START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who have had the greatest influence in the world all think, act and communicate the same way—and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

Book Description
In a relationship have you ever felt like you were just getting warmed up, or if you had just one more chance at the foul line, you could win the games, or were just about to throw a touchdown pass, only to realize you had fumbled and lost the ball or fouled out of the game, and shockingly the game was already over. If Relationships Were Like Sports, Men Would Know the Score is an inspiring, fun, and easy-to-read book for both men and women, using interactive games and offering spent terminologies as insightful metaphors for discovering how to play by the same rules, use the same equipment and keep score by one another, to empower the romance and intimacy of the relationship. Anyone who has been on a romantic relationship knows how difficult it can be to sustain the initial passion and excitement as the relationship matures. In one sense, it seems it should be so easy to have the relationship of our dreams, where we are being fully expressed emotionally, physically, and spiritually, yet at times it feels like we are not even on the same playing fields. In relationships, winning occurs when you and your partner are elevated to a higher level of respect, and intimate communication, and playfulness. If you are winning at your partner's expense, the relationship is losing. In this unique, entertaining book discover how to avoid fumbles, errors, and penalties, and learn how to work through slumps developing deeper spiritually committed relationships. Partners learn how to have fun being on the same team and find that scoring a high percentage of foul shots is essential for long lasting passionate relationships.
