Book Description
Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather, but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception. But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus we don't like to talk or even think about the extent of our selfishness. This is the elephant in the brain. Such an introspective taboo makes it hard for us to think clearly about our nature and the explanations for our behavior. The aim of this book, then, is to confront our hidden motives directly - to track down the darker, unexamined corners of our psyches and blast them with floodlights. Then, once everything is clearly visible, we can work to better understand ourselves: Why do we laugh? Why are artists sexy? Why do we brag about travel? Why do we prefer to speak rather than listen? Our unconscious motives drive more than just our private behavior; they also infect our venerated social institutions such as Art, School, Charity, Medicine, Politics, and Religion. In fact, these institutions are in many ways designed to accommodate our hidden motives, to serve covert agendas alongside their official ones. The existence of big hidden motives can upend the usual political debates, leading one to question the legitimacy of these social institutions, and of standard policies designed to favor or discourage them. You won't see yourself - or the world - the same after confronting the elephant in the brain.

Book Description
Why Elephants Cry is a fascinating frolic through the literature and evidence surrounding the use of unusual behavior of animals to measure and predict the environment. The role of animals, from the smallest ant to the biggest elephant, as predictors of environmental changes is framed around the climate crisis, which highlights the increasingly important part that animals will have to play in the future. Renowned biologist Professor John T. Hancock collects anecdotal stories and myths along with scientific evidence, demonstrating that observation of animals can be of tangible use. He looks at the measurement of the air temperature using ants, crickets and snakes, and goes on to assess the evidence that the observation of a wide range of animals can predict the weather or the imminent eruption of volcanoes and earthquakes. Evidence of animals being able to predict lunar and solar events, such as lunar cycles and the Northern Lights, is also considered. This is the only time that all this literature has been brought together in one place, a fascinating reference for anybody interested in animals and the environment. The book is also an ideal supplementary textbook for students studying animal behaviour.

Book Description
Siyer Vakfı olarak tüm gayret ve gaye-i hayalimiz; temelleri Asr-ı Saâdet’te atılmış, Kur’ân’ın potasında yoğrulmuş, üsve-i hasene makamı gereği tüm zamanların ve zeminlerin tartışmasız rehberi olan Efendimiz (sas) ve O’nun güzide ashâbının örnek yaşamlarını hayatlarımıza taşıma yolunda bir vesile olabilmektir. Bu bağlamda siyerin pek çok farklı alanlarında çalışmalarımızı sürdüdürken, bir yandan da bu çalışmaların daha geniş kitlelere kalıcı bir şekilde ulaşması için uzun zamandan beridir dergi çalışmaları için hazırlık yapılmaktaydı. Her ne kadar son yıllarda biraz tesirini kaybetmiş olsa da yine de derginin bilinç noktasında, şuur noktasında, özellikle toplumun değişim ve dönüşüm noktasında üstlendiği misyon açısından önemli bir yeri olduğu muhakkaktır. Birçok alanda dergiler var şu anda. Siyer alanında da bazı dergi çalışmaları mevcut. Ama bizim bu yaptığımız çalışma, biraz varolanların tekrarından öte, mevcut dergilerde görülen eksik yönleri tamamlama ve ayrıca yeni bir bakış açısı ortaya koyma noktasında bir amaç taşımaktadır. Bir Mektep Olabilme... Siyer Dergisi, aynı zamanda bir mektep olma arzusundadır. Bu bağlamda ilk sayımızdan itibaren usta yazarların yanısıra genç kalemlerin yazılarına da yer vermiş bulunmaktayız. Böylece usta-çırak, mektepli-alaylı ilişkisi içerisinde Siyer Dergisi çevresinde oluşacak bir mektebin ilk tohumlarını atmayı umud ediyoruz. Son yıllarda hem ülkemizde hem İslam aleminde siyere oldukça yoğun bir ilginin olduğu aşikardır. Bu sevindirici gelişmenin yanısıra Kur’ân-Sünnet-Siret arasında sanki bir çelişki ve çatışma varmış gibi göstermek suretiyle meseleyi farklı boyutlara taşıma arzusunda olan bir takım söylemler ile de karşılaşmaktayız. Bu bağlamda ilk sayımızın dosya konusunu “Kur’ân-Siyer” ilişkisinin değerlendirileceği “Siyer’in Temel Kaynağı: Kur’ân-ı Kerim” olarak belirledik. Bu Sayımızda Kimler Var? İsmail Lütfi Çakan, Talha Hakan Alp, Nurettin Yıldız, Ramazan Kayan, Faruk Beşer, Halil İbrahim Kutluay, Yusuf Ziya Kavakçı, Abdullah Yıldız, Ali Akyüz hocalarımız ile dosya konumuz olan “Siyer’in Temel Kaynağı: Kur’ân-ı Kerim” ile ilgili söyleşiler gerçekleştirildi. Ayrıca Muhammed Emin Yıldırım, Mustafa Fayda, Yusuf Kaplan, Levent Öztürk, Faruk Beşer, Zekeriya Güler, Kasım Şulul, Mahmut Kelpetin, Mehmet Apaydın, Ali Ural hocalarımızın da siyer alanı ile ilgili yeni çalışmalarına da bu sayımızda bulabilirsiniz. Üç aylık bir periyod içerisinde matbu olarak yayınlanacak dergimiz, aynı zamanda www.siyerdergisi.com internet adresinde online olarak yayınlanmaktadır. Siyer alanında farklı ve yeni bir nefes olma amacı ile yola çıkan dergimizin ilerleyen zaman içerisinde olgunlaşması ve sürekliliği siz değerli okuyucularımızın katılımlarıyla olacağı aşikardır.

Book Description
Rajiv Surendra was filming Mean Girls, playing the beloved rapping mathlete Kevin Gnapoor, when a cameraman insisted he read Yann Martel's Life of Pi. So begins his "lovely and human" (Jenny Lawson, author of Furiously Happy) tale of obsessively pursuing a dream, overcoming failure, and finding meaning in life. “This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I found myself standing dangerously close to the edge of a cliff. Far below me was an incredible abyss with no end in sight. I could turn back and safely return to where I had come from, or I could throw caution to the wind, lift my arms up into the air . . . and jump.” —From The Elephants in My Backyard What happens when you spend ten years obsessively pursuing a dream, and then, in the blink of an eye, you learn that you have failed, that the dream will not come true? In 2003, Rajiv Surendra was filming Mean Girls, playing the beloved rapping mathlete Kevin Gnapoor, when a cameraman insisted he read Yann Martel’s Life of Pi. Mesmerized by all the similarities between Pi and himself—both are five-foot-five with coffee-colored complexions, both share a South Indian culture, both lived by a zoo—when Rajiv learns that Life of Pi will be made into a major motion picture he is convinced that playing the title role is his destiny. In a great leap of faith Rajiv embarks on a quest to embody the sixteen-year-old Tamil schoolboy. He quits university and buys a one-way ticket from Toronto to South India. He visits the sacred stone temples of Pondicherry, he travels to the frigid waters off the coast of rural Maine, and explores the cobbled streets of Munich. He befriends Yann Martel, a priest, a castaway, an eccentric old woman, and a pack of Tamil schoolboys. He learns how to swim, to spin wool, to keep bees, and to look a tiger in the eye. All the while he is really learning how to dream big, to fail, to survive, to love, and to become who he truly is. Rajiv Surendra captures the uncertainty, heartache, and joy of finding ones place in the world with sly humor and refreshing honesty. The Elephants in My Backyard is not a journey of goals and victories, but a story of process and determination. It is a spellbinding and profound book for anyone who has ever failed at something and had to find a new path through life.
