Book Description
In the Sixties, simple mistakes could have grave consequences. Josh Duffy makes one such mistake and pays an incredible price. One unfortunate encounter with the nuances of the higher education realities of that time and he finds himself thrust into an alien world of blood, death, and fire. It is an upside down world where the usual mores don't function. It is a world where killing is celebrated and compassion scorned. It is a world that Duffy must adapt to if he wishes to survive. Follow him as he struggles with the enemy, with his leaders, and with conscience as he evolves from reluctant soldier to efficient killer to a committed leader. If you ever wonder why soldiers come back from combat forever changed and irreversibly damaged... if you wonder what causes this post-traumatic disorder we hear so much about... if you lived in the Sixties and walked the razor's edge of conscription, you will want to read this book. It is the journey from sanity to the depths of madness and on to a path toward redemption. It is a soldier's story told by an award-winning writer who has spoken on issues of war and peace across this country.

Book Description
If making money, finding a lover, winning an award, or reaching a goal is a good reason to be happy then meditation certainly seems like on good reason, Ironically, happiness through meditation is the best reason of all since it directs us to the source of happiness itself-the inner self. Happiness that has no good reason is the most stable happiness which cannot be destroyed when the outer world cause is removed. It is the author's wish that everyone learns the secret of happiness for the best reason of all.

Book Description
A spoilt rich kid hell-bent on revenge. A good man about to give up on his dream. And in the background, a secret that could destroy a family… It sounded like a good plan to Georgie and Scott: a few days kayaking around the peaceful waters of St. Georges Basin, followed by relaxed happy hours around the campfire. But if there is one thing that Georgie has learned, it’s that real life tends to laugh at her plans. A morning’s paddle along the canals of Sussex Inlet leads her to Chris Moore, an embattled small business owner who can’t see a way out. He is ready to give up — but his wife, Allie, wants him to fight. When she finds out that Georgie is more than a sideshow fortune-teller, she pleads for help. Georgie and Scott, aided by some cryptic insights from Georgie’s crystal ball, begin to tug at threads — and when it all starts to unravel, stumble across secrets that powerful people don’t want exposed. And one of those secrets could make their new clients wish they’d never asked for help…

Book Description
Are humans rational? Various experiments performed over the last several decades have been interpreted as showing that humans are irrational—we make significant and consistent errors in logical reasoning, probabilistic reasoning, similarity judgements, and risk-assessment, to name a few areas. But can these experiments establish human irrationality, or is it a conceptual truth that humans must be rational, as various philosophers have argued? In this book, Edward Stein offers a clear critical account of this debate about rationality in philosophy and cognitive science. He discusses concepts of rationality—the pictures of rationality that the debate centres on—and assesses the empirical evidence used to argue that humans are irrational. He concludes that the question of human rationality must be answered not conceptually but empirically, using the full resources of an advanced cognitive science. Furthermore, he extends this conclusion to argue that empirical considerations are also relevant to the theory of knowledge—in other words, that epistemology should be naturalized.

Book Description
The instant New York Times bestseller featured on NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon! B. J. Novak (bestselling author of The Book With No Pictures) described this groundbreaking poetry collection as "Smart and sweet, wild and wicked, brilliantly funny--it's everything a book for kids should be." Lauded by critics as a worthy heir to such greats as Silverstein, Seuss, Nash and Lear, Harris's hilarious debut molds wit and wordplay, nonsense and oxymoron, and visual and verbal sleight-of-hand in masterful ways that make you look at the world in a whole new wonderfully upside-down way. With enthusiastic endorsements from bestselling luminaries such as Lemony Snicket, Judith Viorst, Andrea Beaty, and many others, this entirely unique collection offers a surprise around every corner. Adding to the fun: Lane Smith, bestselling creator of beloved hits like It's a Book and The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, has spectacularly illustrated this extraordinary collection with nearly one hundred pieces of appropriately absurd art. It's a mischievous match made in heaven! "Ridiculous, nonsensical, peculiar, outrageous, possibly deranged--and utterly, totally, absolutely delicious. Read it! Immediately!" --Judith Viorst, bestselling author of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
