than 30,000 miles, from east Texas
to Vietnam, Mark Byford learns about the lasting impact on Larry's

9780465031719THE ISLAND OF KNOWLEDGE(Hard Cover)MARCELO GLEISERPERSEUS INTERNATIONALS$46.00 SCI
What lies beyond our Solar
System? What happens when a
star dies? Are there any other
planets like our own? Since ancient times, humans have
searched the skies looking for
answers to these and many
other questions. Using stunning
images and detailed cut-away illustrations, The Universe takes
you on a fascinating journey
through Space and explores
how the Universe was formed,
the evolution of stars, our solar system and beyond!
To be human is to want to know,
but what we are able to observe
is only a tiny portion of what’s
“out there.” In The Island of
Knowledge, physicist Marcelo Gleiser traces our search for
answers to the most fundamental
questions of existence. In so
doing, he reaches a provocative
conclusion: science, the main tool we use to find answers, is
fundamentally limited.
Charles Darwin knew that there
was a significant event in the
history of life that his theory did
not explain. In what is known today as the "Cambrian
explosion," 530 million years
ago many animals suddenly
appeared in the fossil record
without apparent ancestors in earlier layers of rock. In
Darwin's Doubt Stephen C.
Meyer tells the story of the
mystery surrounding this
explosion of animal life--of the Cambrian animals.
Four simple phrases—“Please
forgive me,” “I forgive you,”
“Thank you,” and “I love you”—carry enormous power to mend
and nurture our relationships
and inner lives. These four
phrases and the sentiments
they convey provide a path to emotional wellbeing, guiding us
through interpersonal difficulties
to life with integrity and grace.

Contrasting the hi-jacked use
of power symbols in modern
advertising with the vital role of symbols in traditional arts and
crafts, Pennick reveals how
symbols link the cosmic with
the terrestrial and allow us to
infuse the mundane with the numinous.
This follow-up to A Spiritual
Renegade’s Guide to the
Good Life calls for the biggest revolution of all: the overthrow
of our obsessive quest to be
somebody.
Like boardwalk tourists poking their faces through two-
dimensional cutouts of the
muscle man and bathing
beauty, we are all desperately
trying to be somebody, to be “special.” No one wants to be
a loser, a small fry, a big zero.
Stop worrying and start living.
This entirely new approach to
life helps you recognize and release hidden barriers in your
soul that are blocking the way
to true happiness and success.
How many times have you wondered why, no matter how
hard you try, you just can’t keep
a relationship? Can’t stay
healthy? Can’t make enough
money? Can’t find happiness?
Drawing on his more than 40 years of
in-depth study of Indian Philosophy
under the tutelage of his guru, Nitya
Chaitanya Yati, author ScottTeitsworth explores the scientific
approach to self-transformation and
spiritual enlightenment encoded in
Krishna’s advice to Arjuna in the
Bhagavad Gita. Providing a verse-by-verse examination of the first two
chapters, he reveals the Gita’s
lessons to prepare the seeker to
meet and successfully work with a guru--whether an outside teacher or
the intuitive knowledge that arises
from overcoming the psyche’s
learned limitations.

this national bestseller goes
beyond raging hormones and peer pressure to explain why
adolescents act the way they do

bullying, prescription drug
abuse, stress, and nutrition.
9781451626964ONE AND ONLY (Soft Cover)LAUREN SANDLERSIMON AND SCHUSTERS$22.00 SOC
Journalist Lauren Sandler is an only
child and the mother of one. After
investigating what only children are
really like and whether stopping at one child is an answer to
reconciling motherhood and
modernity, she learned a lot about
herself—and a lot about our
culture’s assumptions. In this heartfelt work, Sandler legitimizes a
discussion about the larger societal
costs of having more than one,
which Jessica Grose in her review
in The New Republic calls, “the vital part of the conversation that’s not
being discussed in the chatter”
surrounding parenting.

Spitz explores the first great
cultural movement since Hip Hop: an old-fashioned and yet
highly modern aesthetic that’s

somethings and even some Baby Boomers; creating
hybrid generation known as
Twee. Via exclusive interviews
and years of research, Spitz
traces Generation Twee’sroots from the Post War 50s
to its dominance in popular
culture today.
