In a world ravaged by a super virus known as “The Great Crisis of Man”, the final humans struggle to survive within a domed-in city. Joseph – a lowly cubicle worker for the government – awakens from a prophetic dream during work, leading him to believe that he knows how to find the meaning of life. The first step on his list is to do the unthinkable: break out of the city. After risking his life and leaving everything he knew behind, Joseph soon comes to realize that the outside world is not dead as he was led to believe. Civilizations begin to rebuild under the law of life and death, harnessing the ancient and rediscovered powers of magic. The outside world is cruel and unforgiving, but Joseph’s eyes are locked on an ominous mountain looming in the distance.

Rationality for Mortals
Author: Gerd Gigerenzer
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199747091
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
What is the nature of human wisdom? For many, the ideal image of sapiens is a heavenly one: an omniscient God, a Laplacean demon, a supercomputer, or a fully consistent logical system. Gerd Gigerenzer argues, in contrast, that there are more efficient tools than logic in our minds, which he calls fast and frugal heuristics. These adaptive tools work in a world where the present is only partially known and the future is uncertain. Here, rationality is not logical but ecological, and this volume shows how this insight can help remedy even the widespread problem of statistical innumeracy.RATIONALITY FOR MORTALS (which follows on a previous collection, ADAPTIVE THINKING, also published by OUP) presents Gigerenzer's most recent articles, revised and updated where appropriate, together with a newly written introduction.

Where Mortals Dwell
Author: Craig G. Bartholomew
Publisher: Baker Academic
ISBN: 144123196X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 595
Book Description
Place is fundamental to human existence. However, we have lost the very human sense of place in today's postmodern and globalized world. Craig Bartholomew, a noted Old Testament scholar and the coauthor of two popular texts on the biblical narrative, provides a biblical, theological, and philosophical grounding for place in our rootless culture. He illuminates the importance of place throughout the biblical canon, in the Christian tradition, and in the contours of contemporary thought. Bartholomew encourages readers to recover a sense of place and articulates a hopeful Christian vision of placemaking in today's world. Anyone interested in place and related environmental themes, including readers of Wendell Berry, will enjoy this compelling book.
