Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
by Richard BachIn the cloud-washed airspace between the cornfields of Illinois and blue infinity, a man puts his faith in the propeller of his biplane. For disillusioned writer and itinerant barnstormer Richard Bach, belief is as real as a full tank of gas and sparks firing in the cylinders...until he meets Donald Shimoda--former mechanic and self-described messiah who can make wrenches fly and Richard's imagination soar....In Illusions, the unforgettable follow-up to his phenomenal bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach takes to the air to discover the ageless truths that give our souls wings: that people don't need airplanes to soar...that even the darkest clouds have meaning once we lift ourselves above them... and that messiahs can be found in the unlikeliest places--like hay fields, one-traffic-light midwestern towns, and most of all, deep within ourselves.
The Illusions of Time: Philosophical and Psychological Essays on Timing and Time Perception
by Adrian Bardon Valtteri Arstila Sean Enda Power Argiro VatakisThis edited collection presents the latest cutting-edge research in the philosophy and cognitive science of temporal illusions. Illusion and error have long been important points of entry for both philosophical and psychological approaches to understanding the mind. Temporal illusions, specifically, concern a fundamental feature of lived experience, temporality, and its relation to a fundamental feature of the world, time, thus providing invaluable insight into investigations of the mind and its relationship with the world. The existence of temporal illusions crucially challenges the naïve assumption that we can simply infer the temporal nature of the world from experience. This anthology gathers eighteen original papers from current leading researchers in this subject, covering four broad and interdisciplinary topics: illusions of temporal passage, illusions and duration, illusions of temporal order and simultaneity, and the relationship between temporal illusions and the cognitive representation of time.

An Illustrated History of Health and Fitness, from Pre-History to our Post-Modern World (Studies in History and Philosophy of Science #39)
by Roy J. ShephardThis book examines the health/fitness interaction in an historical context. Beginning in primitive hunter-gatherer communities, where survival required adequate physical activity, it goes on to consider changes in health and physical activity at subsequent stages in the evolution of "civilization. " It focuses on the health impacts of a growing understanding of medicine and physiology, and the emergence of a middle-class with the time and money to choose between active and passive leisure pursuits. The book reflects on urbanization and industrialization in relation to the need for public health measures, and the ever-diminishing physical demands of the work-place. It then evaluates the attitudes of prelates, politicians, philosophers and teachers at each stage of the process. Finally, the book explores professional and governmental initiatives to increase public involvement in active leisure through various school, worksite, recreational and sports programmes.
Iluminação Espiritual: Um acontecimento incrível!
by Jed Mckenna Renata CamposAUTOR, PROFESSOR E MESTRE ESPIRITUAL Jed McKenna elucida este tema como jamais feito antes. Um americano verdadeiramente autêntico. Jed teve êxito onde tantos outros falharam resumindo a mais elevada das conquistas - Iluminação Espiritual - ao mais simples dos termos. Efetivamente, desmistificando o místico, Jed surpreende o leitor não por acrescentar à sabedoria espiritual do mundo, mas por tirar a espiritualidade da iluminação espiritual. Nunca antes este tema evasivo foi tratado de forma tão envolvente e acessível. Uma obra-prima de escrita iluminada, Iluminação Espiritual é leitura obrigatória para qualquer pessoa seguindo um caminho espiritual. Parte revelação e parte manual de instruções, este é o primeiro livro a explicar por que o fracasso parece ser a regra na busca pela iluminação E como a regra pode ser quebrada. A Iluminação Espiritual segue Jed através de vários dias e noites em seu "ashram acidental", enquanto ele responde em linguagem simples, porém iluminada, às perguntas e preocupações de seus estudantes espiritualmente diversos. Vampiros e zumbis; Aventura aérea; Maya, Deusa da ilusão; E Lara Croft todos encontram o seu caminho de forma perfeita nestas páginas. O livro também contém citações cuidadosamente selecionadas e poemas dos grandes mestres do mundo, bem como poemas originais do autor. Diz Jed: A verdade é que a iluminação não é nem remota nem inalcançável. Está mais perto do que a sua pele e mais iminente do que a sua próxima respiração. Caso nos perguntemos por que tão poucos parecem capazes de encontrar o que nunca esteve perdido, podemos nos lembrar da criança que estava procurando na luz uma moeda que deixou cair no escuro porque “aqui a luz é melhor”. A humanidade passou muito tempo procurando na luz por uma moeda que nos aguarda não na luz, não na escuridão, mas além de todos os opostos. Essa é a mensagem deste liv
Iluminación Espiritualmente Incorrecta
by Jed Mckenna Liliana B. GandugliaLA MARCA DE UN VERDADERO MAESTRO es que sabe expresar un tema de suprema complejidad con una simplicidad fuera de serie. Jed McKenna es un maestro, e iluminado espiritual en el tema. Su primer libro, Spiritual Enlightenmen: TheDamedest Thing, fue un clásico instantáneo y lo ubicó como un maestro espiritual de una profundidad y claridad sorprendentes. Ahora su segundo libro, “Iluminación Espiritualmente Incorrecta”, nos invita a un recorrido fascinante del estado de iluminación –lo qué es y lo qué no es, quién está allí, y quién no, cómo llegar allí y como ser un poco mejor. Abundan deliciosas sorpresas, incluyendo el descubrimiento dramático de quizás la más grande de las obras de arte espirituales de todos los tiempos –escondida desde hace tiempo de la simple vista y bien conocida por todos. Whitman, Melville, Thoreau, Mark Twain y U.G. Krishnamurti todos aparecen, y un alumno del primer libro regresa a compartir sus diarios de Autoanálisis Espiritual. También son sorprendentes los esfuerzos amables del autor para guiar al lector desde la iluminación hacia un estado más deseable y accesible. Fracasas al buscarme al principio, mantente valiente, No me encuentras en un lugar, busca en otro, Estoy en algún lugar detenido, esperando por ti -Walt Whitman- Los libros de Jed Mc Kenna no son para todos. Son para las personas que están cansadas de la calesita espiritual y están preparadas para confrontar la cruda realidad con el proceso de concientización. Si te gustan los maestros con todo ese tipo de guarniciones y adornos, Jed no es indicado para ti, pero cuando estés listo para bajarte del carrusel y comenzar tu viaje, Jed McKenna es el tipo indicado para ver – allí, esperando por ti.

Im Handumdrehen Kochen - Ohne Je Zuvor Ein Ei Gekocht Zu Haben
by Prasenjeet Kumar Samanta ZubrzyckaKurzfassung Sie haben noch nie ein Ei gekocht, möchten aber die Kunst des Kochens erlernen? Dann sollten Sie das Haus nicht ohne dieses Kochbuch verlassen. Das Buch von Prasenjeet Kumar, erzählt auf humorvolle Art und Weise über die Erfahrungen des Autors während seiner Studentenzeit in London. In dieser Zeit musste er sich damit auseinandersetzen, in der Stadt Essen zu finden und die Abenteuer der wundersamen Welt des Kochens auf sich zu nehmen. Das Buch ist einzigartig, da es anders als seine anderen Bücher, dem Motto nachgeht, dass keine Frage als "dumm" angesehen werden kann. Das Buch ist logisch strukturiert und die Lernstufen steigern sich von Kapitel zu Kapitel. Sie beginnen mit Grundkenntnissen wie dem Aufschlagen, Pochieren, Braten, Kochen und Schälen eines Eis (ja, das Schälen gehört ebenfalls zu den Grundkenntnissen!). Sie lernen mit Hähnchen, Gemüse und Fisch umzugehen und steigern sich zu komplizierteren Rezepten wie Käse-Omelettes, Gemüse-Gratins, gebackenem Hähnchen oder französischer Zwiebelsuppe. Die Steigerung der Fähigkeiten erfolgt Schrittweise. Sie lernen beispielsweise zuerst ein Ei zu kochen, dann ein Eier Sandwich zu machen und steigern sich dann dazu, ein Sandwich mit gegrillten Eiern zu machen. Ebenso lernen Sie zuerst Hähnchen zu kochen, dann die Zubereitung von Hühnerbrühe und schließlich die Zubereitung von Hühnersuppe mit Mais und paniertem Hähnchen ala KFC. Einzigartig ist auch das Konzept der "Planung und parallelen Bearbeitung", welche vielbeschäftigten Menschen die Zubereitung eines drei bis vier Gänge Menüs in weniger als 30 Minuten ermöglicht. Das Buch ist nett, unterhaltsam und leicht zu lesen. Alle Bilder wurden vom Autor selbst, bei Tageslicht, ohne zusätzliche Requisiten aufgenommen. Sie sollen dazu dienen, sich ein Bild vom dem Gericht zu machen, das zubereitet wird. Ob es also ein Kochbuch für eine gesunde Ernährung, alleinste

I'm Hosting as Fast as I Can!: Zen and the Art of Staying Sane in Hollywood
by Tom BergeronIn this memoir, the charming TV host shares funny yet poignant stories from his life and career, plus his secrets to staying calm on & off camera.Tom Bergeron, Emmy Award–winning former host of Dancing with the Stars and America’s Funniest Home Videos, has always been ambitious, driven, and charming. However, as a young man, he had an enemy that posed a serious threat to what otherwise would have been guaranteed success—a bad temper. His family and friends didn’t keep their concerns to themselves, but Tom’s petulance remained a problem until his first date with a woman who threatened to end their relationship when, in a fit of anger, he put a dent in his car door. “If you want us to go any further, you’d better do something about that,” Lois said, unabashed and unafraid. Tom, embarrassed, then and there committed himself to controlling that temper. (That woman later became his wife, by the way.)This humorous memoir will be filled with anecdotes of how Tom, who never breaks character, stutters or so much as breaks a sweat (even when an Osmond faints at his feet on live TV), uses meditation and other regimented, relaxation techniques to stay focused, energetic, and happy on and off the camera.Praise for I’m Hosting as Fast as I Can!“The charm and wit that have made Tom Bergeron one of television’s most popular hosts is reflected beautifully in I’m Hosting as Fast as I Can! Readers will love Tom’s book.” —Bob Barker“You are a good man, Charlie Brown! Also an honest man, an entertaining man, a life-instructing man, and one hell of an autobiographer. Congratulations, Tom!” —Carl Reiner
I'm Just a Person
by Tig NotaroOne of America’s most original comedians delivers a darkly funny, wryly observed, and emotionally raw account of her year of death, cancer, and epiphany.In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an unvarnished set with the words: “Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer.” The set went viral instantly and was ultimately released as Tig’s sophomore album, Live, which sold one hundred thousand units in just six weeks and was later nominated for a Grammy.Now, the wildly popular star takes stock of that no good, very bad year—a difficult yet astonishing period in which tragedy turned into absurdity and despair transformed into joy. An inspired combination of the deadpan silliness of her comedy and the open-hearted vulnerability that has emerged in the wake of that dire time, I’m Just a Person is a moving and often hilarious look at this very brave, very funny woman’s journey into the darkness and her thrilling return from it.“Notaro’s story is funny not because it’s true (although it is), but because it’s told by the world-class stand-up with wit and vulnerability.” —O, The Oprah Magazine

I'm Looking Through You: Growing Up Haunted: A Memoir
by Jennifer Finney BoylanFrom the famous gender rights activist and bestselling author of She&’s Not There comes another buoyant, unforgettable memoir—about growing up in a haunted house...and making peace with the ghosts that dwell in our hearts. For Jennifer Boylan, creaking stairs, fleeting images in the mirror, and the remote whisper of human voices were everyday events in the Pennsylvania house in which she grew up in the 1970s. But these weren&’t the only specters beneath the roof of the mansion known as the &“Coffin House.&” Jenny herself—born James—lived in a haunted body, and both her mysterious, diffident father and her wild, unpredictable sister would soon become ghosts to Jenny as well. I&’m Looking Through You is an engagingly candid investigation of what it means to be &“haunted.&” Looking back on the spirits who invaded her family home, Boylan launches a full investigation with the help of a group of earnest, if questionable, ghostbusters. Boylan also examines the ways we find connections between the people we once were and the people we become. With wit and eloquence, Boylan shows us how love, forgiveness, and humor help us find peace—with our ghosts, with our loved ones, and with the uncanny boundaries, real and imagined, between men and women.
