Conscious Feelings
Living Life Closer to Your Own Truth
by Clinton Callahan
This book is about feelings, and the ways that we, as individuals and as a culture, have numbed ourselves against them. It is about unleashing the possibility of conscious feelings to re-make our lives into what really matters to us. The central framework of the book is built with the Ten Distinctions for Consciously Feeling, including: *Learning the potent difference between thoughts and feelings, which most people confuse *Sorting out feelings (based in the present) from emotions (based in the past or in somebody else’s life) *Fully allowing that feelings are absolutely-neutral energy and information, neither good nor bad, neither positive nor negative. Each chapter is enriched with Thoughtmaps—clear diagrams of ways we presently think and ways we could possibly think—and supported by an abundance of practical experiments to try. The Power of Conscious Feelings is so much more than a book of selfhelp or inspiration. Ultimately, it is about our connection with and responsibility for the fate of the Earth.

Geography & the EnvironmentMay 2018Ecological Effects of Electricity Generation, Storage and Use
by Peter Henderson
This book reviews the past, present and future generation and use of electricity. While noting the importance of electricity to the well-being of people, it argues that all means of electricity generation have adverse ecological consequences. The ecological effects of all the main forms of electricity generation, storage and transmission are reviewed in 14 chapters. The chapters briefly cover the engineering and physics of each method of electricity generation followed by a description of the different ways in which the technology interacts with the natural world. Finally, sections consider the importance of these impacts and how they can be mitigated or avoided. A final chapter summarizes the issues and emphasizes that the only way to truly minimize the impacts of electricity generation is to reduce our consumption and transmission. Future efforts should continue to focus on increasing the efficiency of light production, refrigeration, electrical appliances and batteries.

The ArtsNovember 2013Out of the ivory tower
The Independent Group and popular culture
by Anne Massey, Christopher Breward, Bill Sherman
The Independent Group is now the subject of global scholarly interest, and this book, a sequel to The Independent Group: Modernism and mass culture in Britain, 1945-59, explores the Anglo-American phenomenon from a new perspective. The Group included fine artists Magda Cordell, Richard Hamilton, Nigel Henderson, Eduardo Paolozzi and William Turnbull; architects Alison and Peter Smithson, James Stirling and Colin St John Wilson; graphic designer Edward Wright; music producer Frank Cordell; and writers Lawrence Alloway, Reyner Banham, John McHale and Toni del Renzio. This radical collective met at the ICA in London during the early 1950s, and worked with and within the new world of both the avant-garde and popular culture. This sequel includes an in-depth discussion of the recent historiography of the Independent Group, and examines its history from an alternative perspective - that of popular culture. The themes of domestic space, Hollywood film, fashion, mass-circulation magazines, science-fiction and popular music are explored, broadening our general understanding. ;

November 2020Empirische Ethik
Grundlagentexte aus Psychologie und Philosophie
by Norbert Paulo, Jan Christoph Bublitz
Seit der Jahrtausendwende vollzieht sich eine interessante Wiederannäherung von Moralphilosophie und Moralpsychologie. Die neue empirische Ethik greift auf Methoden und Erkenntnisse der Psychologie und der Neurowissenschaft zurück, um klassische Fragen der Ethik zu beantworten. Aber sie wirft auch ihrerseits Fragen auf: Welche Rolle spielen Emotionen und Intuitionen im moralischen Denken, und welche Rolle sollen sie spielen? Können Moraltheorien wie Tugendethik oder Deontologie durch empirische Befunde gestützt werden oder werden sie dadurch geschwächt? Der Band versammelt die zentralen, bislang nicht auf Deutsch zugänglichen Texte dieser Debatte, u. a. von Joshua Greene, Jonathan Haidt, Peter Singer und Sharon Street, und ergänzt sie durch vertiefende Originalbeiträge.

THE STORY OF SANTA’S BEARD
by Sharon Thayer
There's a problem growing at the North Pole because Santa’s beard grows each time children share, play fair, do their best, and tell the truth. Soon, Santa’s beard gets so long he can’t walk, talk, or make the toys. But those clever elves come up with a plan. In the end, all Santa must do is choose the best kids from his “Good List” to receive a snippet of his beard.
