Of special importance is Bergson's claim that it is both possible and necessary to know from the inside rather than confining our attention to external perspectives and points of view. Intuition is able to get beyond what is relative and place us inside reality. This essay is, as the title says, an introduction. But if we think there is more to a human being - and even to nature itself - than material structures alone, perhaps the time has come to take a fresh look at Bergson's essay. ![]() English | ASIN: B09VCW88Y7 | 2022 | 7 hours and 59 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 219 MB Whether we realize it or not, we think of our brains as computers. In neuroscience, the metaphor of the brain as a computer has defined the field for much of the modern era. But as neuroscientists increasingly reevaluate their assumptions about how brains work, we need a new metaphor to help us ask better questions. The computational neuroscientist Daniel Graham offers an innovative paradigm for understanding the brain. He argues that the brain is not like a single computer—it is a communication system, like the internet. Both are networks whose power comes from their flexibility and reliability. ![]() English | ASIN: B09LFLMXF2 | 2022 | MP3 | M4B | ~14:17:00 | 405 MB Ed Yong (Author, Narrator), "An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us" ![]() English | August 01, 2019 | ASIN: B07T14YHMP | MP3 | M4B | 8h 21m | 201 MB Author: Anna Newton ![]() English | ASIN: B002IAI5P2 | 2009 | 10 hours and 2 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 276 MB Throughout history, food has acted as a catalyst of social change, political organization, geopolitical competition, industrial development, military conflict, and economic expansion.

The pathbreaking experiences of these men and women provide unique insights and deeply human perspectives on issues that have shaped US engagement with the People's Republic: politics, diplomacy, education, business, art, law, journalism, and human rights. For each of these Americans, China was more than just another place: It was an idea, a cause, a revolution, a civilization. Some of them grew up in China while others were motivated by curiosity and adventure. ![]() English | ASIN: B099BKNV4S | 2022 | 8 hours and 47 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 242 MB From former Republican Congressman and CIA Officer Will Hurd, a bold political playbook for America rooted in the timeless ideals of bipartisanship, inclusivity, and democratic values. It's getting harder to get big things done in America. The gears of our democracy have been mucked up by political nonsense. To meet the era-defining challenges of the 21st century, our country needs a reboot. In American Reboot, Hurd, called "the future of the GOP" by Politico, provides a clear-eyed path forward for America grounded by what Hurd calls pragmatic idealism—a concept forged from enduring American values to achieve what is actually achievable. Hurd takes on five seismic problems facing a country in crisis: the Republican Party's failure to present a principled vision for the future; the lack of honest leadership in Washington, DC; income inequality that threatens the livelihood of millions of Americans; US economic and military dominance that is no longer guaranteed; and how technological change in the next 30 years will make the advancements of the last 30 years look trivial. ![]() English | ASIN: B09WCDNRXF | 2022 | 4 hours and 13 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 116 MB The framers of the Constitution were in uncharted territory when they created the office of the presidency. No one at that time had a clear vision of what the president of a national republic would do, and only the vaguest notion existed when George Washington took the oath in 1789. For nearly 250 years, our elected Presidents have played a role in shaping what the office has become. Thomas Jefferson described the presidency as a "splendid misery," John Quincy Adams felt it was "harassing," and Warren Harding said simply, "It's hell!" And yet somehow some of our most notable Presidents left office with remarkable accomplishments. ![]() English | ASIN: B08B3BG6R3 | 2020 | 18 hours and 17 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 502 MB The purpose of this book is twofold: first, to elucidate the logic, principles, and significance of the Declaration of Independence as the embodiment of the American mind; and, second, to shed light on what John Adams once called the "real American Revolution"; that is, the moral revolution that occurred in the minds of the people in the 15 years before 1776. The Declaration is used here as an ideological road map by which to chart the intellectual and moral terrain traveled by American Revolutionaries as they searched for new moral principles to deal with the changed political circumstances of the 1760s and early 1770s. This volume identifies and analyzes the modes of reasoning, the patterns of thought, and the new moral and political principles that served American Revolutionaries first in their intellectual battle with Great Britain before 1776 and then in their attempt to create new Revolutionary societies after 1776. |
