Book excerpt: What you are about to read began in my heart and found its way to hand written words on 3-ring note book paper. These thoughts that turn into the spoken word I call Reasonings. The words were often spoken to a small group of seekers. Churches often call them sermons or messages, but I call them Reasonings in reference to a biblical passage in Isaiah 1:18: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord." This infers to me that it is a co-creation experience. I also appreciate the Rasta spiritual perspective that calls this co-creation process Reasonings to understand (or as Rastafarians say, "to overstand") the ways of God.

Book excerpt: Britain's most famous mathematician takes us to the edge of knowledge to show us what we cannot know. Is the universe infinite? Do we know what happened before the Big Bang? Where is human consciousness located in the brain? And are there more undiscovered particles out there, beyond the Higgs boson? In the modern world, science is king: weekly headlines proclaim the latest scientific breakthroughs and numerous mathematical problems, once indecipherable, have now been solved. But are there limits to what we can discover about our physical universe? In this very personal journey to the edges of knowledge, Marcus du Sautoy investigates how leading experts in fields from quantum physics and cosmology, to sensory perception and neuroscience, have articulated the current lie of the land. In doing so, he travels to the very boundaries of understanding, questioning contradictory stories and consulting cutting edge data. Is it possible that we will one day know everything? Or are there fields of research that will always lie beyond the bounds of human comprehension? And if so, how do we cope with living in a universe where there are things that will forever transcend our understanding? In What We Cannot Know, Marcus du Sautoy leads us on a thought-provoking expedition to the furthest reaches of modern science. Prepare to be taken to the edge of knowledge to find out if there's anything we truly cannot know.
Download or read book In the Shadow of Statues written by Mitch Landrieu and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An extraordinarily powerful journey that is both political and personal...An important book for everyone in America to read." --Walter Isaacson,#1 New York Times bestselling author of Leonardo Da Vinci and Steve Jobs The New Orleans mayor who removed the Confederate statues confronts the racism that shapes us and argues for white America to reckon with its past. A passionate, personal, urgent book from the man who sparked a national debate. "There is a difference between remembrance of history and reverence for it." When Mitch Landrieu addressed the people of New Orleans in May 2017 about his decision to take down four Confederate monuments, including the statue of Robert E. Lee, he struck a nerve nationally, and his speech has now been heard or seen by millions across the country. In his first book, Mayor Landrieu discusses his personal journey on race as well as the path he took to making the decision to remove the monuments, tackles the broader history of slavery, race and institutional inequities that still bedevil America, and traces his personal relationship to this history. His father, as state legislator and mayor, was a huge force in the integration of New Orleans in the 1960s and 19070s. Landrieu grew up with a progressive education in one of the nation's most racially divided cities, but even he had to relearn Southern history as it really happened. Equal parts unblinking memoir, history, and prescription for finally confronting America's most painful legacy, In the Shadow of Statues will contribute strongly to the national conversation about race in the age of Donald Trump, at a time when racism is resurgent with seemingly tacit approval from the highest levels of government and when too many Americans have a misplaced nostalgia for a time and place that never existed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age—and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned. Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity.”—James Baldwin From the Paperback edition.

Book excerpt: “Moshe Gersht turns spiritual truths into medicine our hearts are longing for.” —Marianne Williamson, New York Times bestselling author Why can’t positive thinking lead us all to more fulfilling lives? Because thinking is only part of the equation, according to spiritual teacher and bestselling author Moshe Gersht. The other part, the crucial part that can actually shape the life you want, is how you apply your beliefs. “Knowledge is just a seed in your mind,” writes Gersht. “What makes it grow is your inspired action.” This is the power he shares with his simple and accessible formula for actively pursuing the joy and fulfillment you’ve been longing for. The Three Conditions are surprisingly straightforward: • Through Intention, you’re choosing to live and experience the Truth of who you are • By expressing Certainty, you’re trusting that the Universe is always directing and assisting you in experiencing your authentic Self • Joy is the feeling of happiness that acts as the barometer of how aligned you are with intention and certainty With lucid insight and practices for reflection and growth, Gersht shows you how to embody these conditions more deeply each day—and tap in to your full power and potential. Rooted in the Torah tradition, Kaballa, and Chasidus, as well as an array of spiritual traditions, this book provides real-time tools to help you cultivate and practice intention, certainty, and joy right now. By following Moshe’s formula, you’ll start living the life you’re destined to live regardless of race, color, or creed. It will point you toward the life behind your life circumstances. “There are two things that matter most: what you believe about your Self and what you believe about the Universe,” says Gersht. “This guide is a reminder of the incredible power you have to choose what you believe—and how you are going to live.”
