Probing Freewill: A Story of Autonomy and Inevitibility by Waleed Mahmud Tariq 5.0 Stars (7 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

"Probing Freewill: A Story of Autonomy and Inevitability" is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of free will, its implications, and the debates surrounding it. This book is structured into five distinct parts, each delving into different aspects of free will: • Tracing the Origins of Free Will: This section examines the evolutionary foundations of free will, the role of genetics and the environment, the concept of nature via nurture, and the cognitive machinery driving our choices. • The Neurobiology of Choice: This part focuses on the brain's role in decision-making, including brain regions, neural networks, neurotransmitters, hormones, and the impact of cognitive biases and external constraints on our choices. • Morality, Responsibility, and the Lack of Freewill: Here, the book explores the relationship between free will, morality, and responsibility. It discusses the impact of the absence of free will on moral judgments, laws, and societal structures. • The Philosophy of Free Will: This section takes a philosophical approach, tracing historical perspectives, modern debates, and the ethical repercussions of a world without free will. • Navigating a Life Without Choices: The final part addresses the practical aspects of living in a deterministic world. It discusses finding meaning and purpose, psychological well-being, redefining freedom, coping strategies, and practical wisdom for living meaningfully without free will. The book aims to offer a new perspective on the age-old debate of free will versus determinism, blending scientific evidence with philosophical discourse. It challenges readers to question and reconsider their assumptions about autonomy, identity, and choice. The exploration is intended to be introspective and transformative, encouraging a deeper understanding of the human experience. The significance of this book lies in its multifaceted approach, combining neuroscience, philosophy, morality, legal systems, and mental ...

Flight From Syria: Refugee Stories by Hugh Eakin (Pulitzer Center) 4.0 Stars (75 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Flight from Syria: Refugee Stories features the writing and photography of nine Pulitzer Center grantees- journalists who reported on Syrian refugees between 2012 and 2015. Their travels took them from Syria to Sweden, and from crowded camps to cramped apartments in city suburbs. Each of the journalists- Hugh Eakin, Lauren Gelfond Feldinger, Stephen Franklin, Joanna Kakissis, Alia Malek, Holly Pickett, Alisa Roth, Alice Su, and Selin Thomas- lends a unique perspective. Originally published in Al Jazeera, BBC News, Guernica, In These Times, Marketplace, NPR, The Atlantic and The New York Review of Books, these stories tell of an abandoned homeland, an indifferent world, and an uncertain future. They trace the history of one of the biggest displacements of modern times- providing a testament to the suffering and courage of those who fled. Edited by Kem Knapp Sawyer Designed by Evey Wilson

Silent Hill: The Terror Engine (Landmark Video Games) by Bernard Perron (University of Michigan Press) 4.3 Stars (130 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Silent Hill: The Terror Engine, the second of the two inaugural studies in the Landmark Video Games series from series editors Mark J. P. Wolf and Bernard Perron, is both a close analysis of the first three Silent Hill games and a general look at the whole series. Silent Hill, with its first title released in 1999, is one of the most influential of the horror video game series. Perron situates the games within the survival horror genre, both by looking at the history of the genre and by comparing Silent Hill with such important forerunners as Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil. Taking a transmedia approach and underlining the designer's cinematic and literary influences, he uses the narrative structure; the techniques of imagery, sound, and music employed; the game mechanics; and the fiction, artifact, and gameplay emotions elicited by the games to explore the specific fears survival horror games are designed to provoke and how the experience as a whole has made the Silent Hill series one of the major landmarks of video game history.

Existence & Consciousness: A Theory of Naturalistic Idealism by Richard Lucido 4.5 Stars (28 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Existence and Consciousness presents us with a world without space, a world that consists only of information, consciousness, and time. It offers a theory of idealism from an existentialist perspective. Matter, energy, and space are viewed as holding on to no existence outside of their essence (i.e., their defining properties). This is what precludes them from objectively persisting in time. Only consciousness, broken down into its smallest units, is capable of existing beyond its essence. This is what makes it a necessary constituent of reality, for without it the world would be merely an abstraction. Free of new age spiritualism, Existence and Consciousness is a sober and naturalistic attempt at conceptualizing a reality whose primary constituent is consciousness. The book presents its original insights within a broad multidisciplinary backdrop where ideas from contemporary analytical philosophy, existential philosophy, and ancient philosophy are related to empirical findings from psychology, physics, and neuroscience. Its ideas are presented plainly and are intended for a broad educated audience. No prior experience is necessary to engage with this most perplexing and fundamental question: what is the nature of reality? This second edition is updated to include empirical findings that have occurred since the original version was published in 2017.

CREEP: A Short Psychological Thriller by William Cook (King Billy Publications) 3.8 Stars (85 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

A dark story of a young woman's date with death! CREEP is a short psychological thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Serial Killers don't always get away with murder, no matter how hard they try. Includes bonus short story - Legacy. From CREEP: "Cassandra pounded on the window and frantically tried to push the rear doors open, first with her shoulders and then with her heels, to no avail. She peered into the dark confines of the garage and saw nothing except her frightened reflection looking back at her in the window, bathed in the dim yellow interior light of the cab. She cupped her neatly manicured hand across her brow and looked out the window again, her button nose touching the smeared glass as she did so. She thought she heard a deep growling noise somewhere nearby outside the cab and then her window was filled with bared teeth and the blackest, evil eyes, she'd ever seen. The huge head of the Rottweiler retreated into the shadows before launching itself back at the vehicle, the razor sharp canines crunching against the window and sending a trail of cracks across the glass. Steaming froth and saliva dripped down the webbed glass as the dog began to bark and thud its massive head against the side of the cab. Cassandra scuttled across the back seat as she wet herself, waves of fear shrinking her into a ball, as the crazed dog leaped at the cab again... " "William Cook tells a gruesome story with a sense of authenticity that makes you question with considerable unease if it really is fiction, after all." - Graham Masterton, author of The Manitou and Descendant "This man is simply scary. There is both a clinical thoroughness and a heartfelt emotional thoroughness to his writing. He manages to shock as well as empathize, to scare as well as acclimatize, yet beneath it all is a well read intelligence that demands to be engaged. I loved Blood Related. Ordinarily I hate serial killer stories, but William Cook won me over. He is a unique and ...

Handbook for the Anti-Islamic Resistance by George R. Walters 4.7 Stars (12 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

It is not just rhetoric to note that a state of war between Islam and the non-Muslim world already exists. Islam is and for nearly its entire history been at war with the non-Muslim world. Thus a defacto state of war exists regardless of the lack of or confused and ineffective response from the those being attacked. For more and more of us the need for an international anti-Islamic resistance is self evident. Many of us already recognize that the Islamic ideology is fascism in a religious context. Islam benefits only a small and brutal oligarchy. Islam is also an existential threat to all non-Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Bahai's, atheists, agnostics, etc. That threat is becoming increasingly aggressive and will continue to do so in the future. Unfortunately, despite the fact that ordinary Muslims do not benefit from the Islamic ideology, the record of the non-Islamic world in turning back growing Islamic influence and eventual takeover has been dismal in most cases. Clearly more must be done if we are reverse this ominous trend. To many of us the absolute necessity of resistance to the Islamic ideology and its agenda of global conquest is so self-evident that it hardly bears repeating. Unfortunately, however, it has not been in the interests of even the non-Muslim elites and the media that service those elites to admit the obvious. As a result we must necessarily address and re-address truths that may be instinctively and widely held by many, if not most. Of course those truths, no matter how well documented, will be vigorously denied by Islamists, their "useful idiots," and those who are either willfully ignorant or seeking advantage from enabling Islamist conquest. Yet even if Western governments finally admit the obvious and attempt to address the threat to our societies posed by Islam, success is far from guaranteed. This is both because Western societies present such a variety of targets and the "rules of engagement" that governments ...

We'll All Be Murdered in our Beds: The shocking history of crime reporting in Britain by Duncan Campbell 4.1 Stars (78 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

'If it bleeds, it leads' - this maxim is as true now as it was 300 years ago. Crime is the staple of the news, and our appetite for these dark and dangerous stories shows no sign of abating. In this colourful history of crime reporting since 1700, Duncan Campbell reveals what it's really like to deal with murderers, gangsters, robbers, cat burglars, victims, informers and detectives. He introduces us to the 'hacks in the macs' and the 'Murder Gang', who would go to any lengths to get a story - and serve it up to an ever-eager reading public. At a time when the relationships between the press, public, police and criminals are being questioned as never before, We'll All Be Murdered in Our Beds tells the compelling, sometimes scandalous tale of the stories and storytellers that have entertained, shocked and appalled us - and will continue to do so. Praise for We'll All Be Murdered in Our Beds: 'Duncan Campbell remains one of the very few journalists who has retained the criminal fraternity's trust and respect... He is engagingly clever and writes like a dream' - Howard Marks, author of Mr Nice 'When it comes to stellar crime reporting, Duncan Campbell is the absolute maestro. He captures the colour of the courts, the drama of events and the lives of those who appear there, in the most elegant and authentic way. A fascinating read' - Helena Kennedy, QC Duncan Campbell is former crime correspondent of the Guardian, former chairman of the Crime Reporters' Association and winner of the Bar Council's newspaper journalist of the year. He has written for the Observer, New Statesman, LRB, Oldie, Esquire and British Journalism Review.

Reclaiming Socialism, or: Economic Democracy (Recovering a Stolen Word) by Brian Rush 3.9 Stars (37 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Imagine getting up in the morning and going to work for a company that, just by virtue of the fact that you work for it, you own part of. Imagine that the company's president and other officers have to stand for election every year or two years, and you and all the other employees of the company vote them in or out. Imagine getting an accounting on a quarterly basis of the company's profitability and receiving a payout of your share of those profits - your due as a worker-owner. Imagine that you get tired of working for the company you own part of and decide to strike out on your own. Imagine that there are on-line services readily available where your skills demand high pay from independent clients, so that being self-employed and entirely your own boss is a matter only of doing the work. Or let's say that you and a number of friends have an idea for a new business. Imagine a non-profit organization or perhaps a government agency set up just for that purpose, ready to provide you and your friends a low-interest loan, free advice, and lots of other assistance so you can do that - as long as your new business is a workers' cooperative. Imagine a world in which nobody is obscenely rich and nobody is poor, and the average person makes about double - maybe triple - what most people make today. I can imagine that easily enough. Can you? Would you like to live in a world like that? I sure would. We're ready for it. We just have to believe it and reach for it, and reclaim the word that stands for it. That word is "socialism." It's being misused today to describe something it's not, a world of giant bureaucracies, stagnant economies, and secret police. That's not what it means. It means a world in which ordinary people - probably people like you - own the businesses that provide your livelihood, instead of the economy being owned by a few hogs on Wall Street who see you as their peon. That's what socialism is about. It's about finally freeing ourselves from the ...
