Hardback. Etat : Good. With a foreword by Nicholas Carr, author of the Pulitzer Prize-finalist The Shallows.Today, society embraces sharing like never before. Fueled by our dependence on mobile devices and social media, we have created an ecosystem of obsessive connection. Many of us now lead lives of strangely crowded isolation: we are always linked, but only shallowly so.The capacity to be alone, properly alone, is one of life's subtlest skills. Real solitude is a powerful resource we can call upon--a crucial ingredient for a rich interior life. It inspires reflection, allows creativity to flourish, and improves our relationships with ourselves and, unexpectedly, with others. Idle hands can, in fact, produce the extraordinary. In living bigger and faster, we have forgotten the joys of silence, and undervalued how profoundly it can revolutionize our lives.This book is about discovering stillness inside the city, inside the crowd, inside our busy lives. With wit and energy, award-winning author Michael Harris weaves captivating true stories with reporting from the world's foremost brain researchers, psychologists, and tech entrepreneurs to guide us toward a state of measured connectivity that balances quiet and companionship.Solitude is a beautiful and convincing statement on the transformative power of being alone.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. In seventeenth century Scotland, Edinburgh was a filthy backwater synonymous with poverty, disease, and religious fanaticism. A century later, it was an intellectual hotbed, producing groundbreaking books like Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and James Boswell's The Life of Samuel Johnson. Other luminaries like David Hume, Robert Burns, the chemist James Black, and the geologist James Hutton added to Edinburgh's reputation as a center of creativity and innovation. In his remarkable work Crowded with Genius, James Buchan reconstructs the intimate geographic scale and boundless intellectual world of Enlightenment Edinburgh. The history of the town's transformation and most glorious era is recounted here with Buchan's trademark intellectual elegance and his novelist's flair for vividly bringing a place to life.James Buchan is an acclaimed novelist and critic. He is the author of The Persian Bride, a New York Times Notable Book, as well as Frozen Desire, an examination of money that received the Duff Cooper Prize in 1998. He has also won the Whitbread Prize and the Guardian Fiction Award. He is a contributor to The New York Times Book Review and The New York Observer, and a former foreign correspondent for The Financial Times. He lives in Norfolk, England."A vivacious and erudite celebration of the flowering of Scottish intellectual life in the eighteenth century." -- The New Yorker.…

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year A Washington Post Best Book of the Year A Businessweek Best Business Book of the Year A Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year In this brilliant, essential book, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas L. Friedman speaks to America's urgent need for national renewal and explains how a green revolution can bring about both a sustainable environment and a sustainable America. Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the expansion of the world's middle class through globalization have produced a dangerously unstable planet--one that is hot, flat, and crowded. In this Release 2.0 edition, he also shows how the very habits that led us to ravage the natural world led to the meltdown of the financial markets and the Great Recession. The challenge of a sustainable way of life presents the United States with an opportunity not only to rebuild its economy, but to lead the world in radically innovating toward cleaner energy. And it could inspire Americans to something we haven't seen in a long time--nation-building in America--by summoning the intelligence, creativity, and concern for the common good that are our greatest national resources. Hot, Flat, and Crowded 2.0 is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge--and the promise--of the future.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. David Kessler, one of the most renowned experts on death and grief, takes on three uniquely shared experiences that challenge our ability to explain and fully understand the mystery of our final days. The first is visions. As the dying lose sight of this world, some people appear to be looking into the world to come. The second shared experience is getting ready for a trip. The phenomenon of preparing oneself for a journey isn't new or unusual. In fact, during our loved ones' last hours, they may often think of their impending death as a transition or journey. These trips may seem to us to be all about leaving, but for the dying, they may be more about arriving. Finally, the third phenomenon is crowded rooms. The dying often talk about seeing a room full of people, as they constantly repeat the word crowded. In truth, we never die alone. Just as loving hands greeted us when we were born, so will loving arms embrace us when we die. In the tapestry of life and death, we may begin to see connections to the past that we missed in life. While death may look like a loss to the living, the last hours of a dying person may be filled with fullness rather than emptiness. In this fascinating book, which includes a new Afterword, Kessler brings us stunning stories from the bedsides of the dying that will educate, enlighten, and comfort us all.…
