But today, a revolutionary new understanding is emerging from the laboratories of cutting-edge physicists, biologists, and psychologists: What matters is not the isolated entity, but the space between things, the relationship of things--the Bond. This book, the culmination of author Lynne McTaggart's groundbreaking work, offers a new, scientific story of life and the human experience, one that challenges the very way we conceive of ourselves and our world. She shows that the essential impulse of all life is a will to connect rather than a drive to compete. In fact, we are inescapably connected, hardwired to each other at our most elemental level. McTaggart offers detailed recommendations to help foster more holistic thinking, more cooperative relationships, and more unified social groups--a visionary plan for a new way to live in harmony.--From publisher description.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2009006</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2009006</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McTaggart, Lynne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2009006164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Connecting Through the Space Between Us</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781439157947/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life Is A Miracle]]></title><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1470035</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1470035</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Berry, Wendell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1470035164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Essay Against Modern Superstition</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781582430584/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consilience]]></title><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1308826</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1308826</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wilson, Edward O.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 1998 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1308826164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Unity of Knowledge</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780679450771/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Transient and Strange]]></title><description><![CDATA[An astonishing debut from the beloved NPR science correspondent: intimate essays about the intersection of science and everyday life. In her career as a science reporter, Nell Greenfieldboyce has reported from inside a space shuttle, the bottom of a coal mine, and the control room of a particle collider; she's presented news on the color of dinosaur eggs, ice worms that live on mountaintop glaciers, and signs of life on Venus. In this, her debut book, she delivers a wholly original collection of powerful, emotionally raw, and unforgettable personal essays that probe the places where science touches our lives most intimately. Expertly weaving her own experiences of motherhood and marriage with an almost devotional attention to the natural world, Greenfieldboyce grapples with the weighty dualities of life: birth and death, constancy and impermanence, memory and doubt, love and aging. She looks for a connection to the universe by embarking on a search for the otherworldly glint of a micrometeorite in the dust, consults meteorologists and storm chasers on the eerie power of tornadoes to soothe her children's anxieties, and processes her adolescent oblivion through the startling discovery of black holes. Inspired throughout by Walt Whitman's invocation to the "transient and strange," she remains attuned to the wildest workings of our world, reflecting on the incredible leap of the humble flea or the echoing truth of a fetal heartbeat. A beautiful blend of explanatory science, original reporting, and personal experience, Transient and Strange captures the ache of ordinary life, offering resonant insights into both the world around us and the worlds within us.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2642850</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2642850</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greenfieldboyce, Nell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2642850164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Notes on the Science of Life</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780393882346/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Magic of Reality]]></title><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2018739</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2018739</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dawkins, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2018739164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How We Know What&apos;s Really True</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781439192818/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dawn of A Mindful Universe]]></title><description><![CDATA["An award-winning astronomer and physicist's spellbinding and urgent call for a new Enlightenment and the recognition of the preciousness of life using reason and curiosity--the foundations of science--to study, nurture, and ultimately preserve humanity as we face the existential crisis of climate change"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2631102</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2631102</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gleiser, Marcelo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2631102164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Manifesto for Humanity&apos;s Future</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063056879/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life Is Simple]]></title><description><![CDATA[Centuries ago, the principle of Ockham's razor changed our world by showing simpler answers to be preferable and more often true.

This is no coincidence. From the laws that keep a ball in motion to those that govern evolution, simplicity, he claims, has shaped the universe itself. And in McFadden's view, life could only have emerged by embracing maximal simplicity, making the fundamental law of the universe a cosmic form of natural selection that favors survival of the simplest.

Captivatingly written, interwoven with tantalizing illustrations and historical vignettes ranging from Newton's alchemy to quantum mechanics to the storm surge of Hurricane Sandy, Michael Strevens's wholly original investigation of science asks two fundamental questions: Why is science so powerful? And why did it take so long, two thousand years after the invention of philosophy and mathematics, for the human race to start using science to learn the secrets of nature? The Knowledge Machine's radical answer is that science calls on its practitioners to do something irrational: by willfully ignoring religion, theoretical beauty, and, especially, philosophy-essentially stripping away all previous knowledge-scientists embrace an unnaturally narrow method of inquiry, channeling unprecedented energy into observation and experimentation.

At once a mathematician, philosopher, theologian, physicist, and engineer, Pascal's discoveries, experiments, and theories helped usher in a modern world of scientific thought and methodology. In this singular book on this singular genius, distinguished scholar Mary Ann Caws explores the rich contributions of this extraordinary thinker, interweaving his writings and discoveries with an account of his life and career and the wider intellectual world of his time. Caws takes us back to Pascal's youth, when he was a child prodigy first engaging mathematics through the works of mathematicians such as Father Mersenne. She describes his early scientific experiments and his construction of mechanical calculating machines; she looks at his correspondence with important thinkers such as Reň Descartes and Pierre de Fermat; she surveys his many inventions, such as the first means of public transportation in Paris; and she considers his later religious exaltations in works such as the "Memorial." Along the way, Caws examines Pascal's various modes of writing--whether he is arguing with the strict puritanical modes of church politics, assuming the personality of a n̐ave provincial trying to understand the Jesuitical approach, offering pithy aphorisms in the Penšes, or meditating on thinking about thinking itself. Altogether, this book lays side by side many aspects of Pascal's life and work that are seldom found in a single volume: his religious motivations and faith, his scientific passions, and his practical savvy. The result is a comprehensive but easily approachable account of a fascinating and influential figure."--Amazon.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2372034</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2372034</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Caws, Mary Ann]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2372034164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Miracles and Reason</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781780237213/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scale]]></title><description><![CDATA["From one of the most influential scientists of our time, a dazzling exploration of the hidden laws that govern the life cycle of everything from plants and animals to the cities we live in. The former head of the Sante Fe Institute, visionary physicist Geoffrey West is a pioneer in the field of complexity science, the science of emergent systems and networks. The term "complexity" can be misleading, however, because what makes West's discoveries so beautiful is that he has found an underlying simplicity that unites the seemingly complex and diverse phenomena of living systems, including our bodies, our cities and our businesses. Fascinated by issues of aging and mortality, West applied the rigor of a physicist to the biological question of why we live as long as we do and no longer. The result was astonishing, and changed science, creating a new understanding of energy use and metabolism: West found that despite the riotous diversity in the sizes of mammals, they are all, to a large degree, scaled versions of each other. If you know the size of a mammal, you can use scaling laws to learn everything from how much food it eats per day, what its heart-rate is, how long it will take to mature, its lifespan, and so on. Furthermore, the efficiency of the mammal's circulatory systems scales up precisely based on weight: if you compare a mouse, a human and an elephant on a logarithmic graph, you find with every doubling of average weight, a species gets 25% more efficient--and lives 25% longer. This speaks to everything from how long we can expect to live to how many hours of sleep we need. Fundamentally, he has proven, the issue has to do with the fractal geometry of the networks that supply energy and remove waste from the organism's body"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2361497</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2361497</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[West, Geoffrey B.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2361497164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, Sustainability, and the Pace of Life in Organisms, Cities, Economies, and Companies</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781594205583/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science in the Soul]]></title><description><![CDATA["In 1976 Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene caused a seismic shift in our understanding of biology by proffering the gene-centered view of evolution and was called 'The best work of popular science ever written" by the New York Review of Books.

They have unlimited scope and power to cause change, and the quest to improve them is the basic regulating principle not only of science but of all successful human endeavor. This stream of ever improving explanations has infinite reach, according to Deutsch: we are subject only to the laws of physics, and they impose no upper boundary to what we can eventually understand, control, and achieve. In his previous book, The Fabric of Reality, Deutsch describe the four deepest strands of existing knowledge-the theories of evolution, quantum physics, knowledge, and computation-arguing jointly they reveal a unified fabric of reality.

Topics include black holes, string theory, supersymmetry, dimensions beyond our perception, and the mysterious M force; all potential keys to unlocking the elusive "theory of everything" that seems so tantalizingly close.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1920902</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1920902</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1920902164</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9786312760245/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=&amp;upc=054961811793</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Theory of Everything]]></title><description><![CDATA["Hawking presents a series of seven lectures in which he describes, more clearly than ever, the history of the universe as we know it. He begins with the history of ideas about the universe, from Aristotle's idea that the Earth is round to Hubble's discovery two millennium later that our universe is growing. Using this history as a launching pad, Hawking takes us on a fascinating journey through the telescopic lens of modern physics to gain a new glimpse of the universe--the nature of black holes, the space-time continuum, and new information about the origin of the universe. He uses this scientific basis to come up with a "unified theory of everything" that the author claims will be "the ultimate triumph of human reason."" --Amazon.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1543298</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1543298</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hawking, Stephen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1543298164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Origin and Fate of the Universe</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9788179925911/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tower of Babel]]></title><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1325930</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1325930</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pennock, Robert T.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1999 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1325930164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Evidence Against the New Creationism</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780262161800/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mere Creation]]></title><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2026092</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2026092</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 1998 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2026092164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Science, Faith &amp; Intelligent Design</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780830815159/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Red Earth, White Lies]]></title><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1595711</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1595711</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Deloria, Vine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 1995 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1595711164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Native Americans and the Myth of Scientific Fact</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780684807003/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lighting the Seventh Fire]]></title><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1253470</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C1253470</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Peat, F.
