In the 1950s, a series of dams was proposed along the BrazosRiver in north-central Texas. For John Graves, this project meantthat if the stream’s regimen was thus changed, the beautiful andsometimes brutal surrounding countryside would also change, aswould the lives of the people whose rugged ancestors had eked outan existence there. Graves therefore decided to visit that stretchof the river, which he had known intimately as a youth. Goodbye to a River is his account of that farewell canoevoyage. As he braves rapids and fatigue and the fickle autumnweather, he muses upon old blood feuds of the region and violentskirmishes with native tribes, and retells wild stories of courageand cowardice and deceit that shaped both the river’s people andthe land during frontier times and later. Nearly half a centuryafter its initial publication, Goodbye to a River is a trueAmerican classic, a vivid narrative about an exciting journey and apowerful tribute to a vanishing way of life and its ever-changingnatural env
Since Plato, philosophers have described the decision makingprocess as either rational or emotional: we carefully deliberate orwe "blink" and go with our gut. But as scientists break open themind's black box with the latest tools of neuroscience, they'rediscovering that this is not how the mind works.Our best decisionsare a finely tuned blend of both feeling and reason--and theprecise mix depends on the situation. The trick is to determinewhen to lean on which part of the brain, and to do this, we need tothink harder (and smarter) about how we think. Jonah Lehrer arms uswith the tools we need, drawing on cutting-edge research as well asthe real-world experiences of a wide range of "deciders"--fromairplane pilots and hedge fund investors to serial killers andpoker players. Lehrer shows how people are taking advantage of thenew science to make better television shows, win more footballgames, and improve military intelligence. His goal is to answer twoquestions: How does the human mind make decisions? And how c

"When I decided to look, I found more love andcompassion than I ever imagined existed. Most significantly, Ifound forgiveness. I might even call it redemption."
From an award-winning New York Times investigative reportercomes an outrageous story of greed, corruption, andconspiracy—which left the FBI and Justice Department counting onthe cooperation of one man . . . It was one of the FBI's biggest secrets: a senior executive withAmerica's most politically powerful corporation, Archer DanielsMidland, had become a confidential government witness, secretlyrecording a vast criminal conspiracy spanning five continents. MarkWhitacre, the promising golden boy of ADM, had put his career andfamily at risk to wear a wire and deceive his friends andcolleagues. Using Whitacre and a small team of agents to tap intothe secrets at ADM, the FBI discovered the company's scheme tosteal millions of dollars from its own customers. But as the FBI and federal prosecutors closed in on ADM, usingstakeouts, wiretaps, and secret recordings of illegal meetingsaround the world, they suddenly found that everything was not allthat it appeared. At the same time Whitacre was coo

Who can help asking "Why?" when they develop a disease?According to theologian and "medical intuitive" Caroline Myss,Ph.D., and co-worker C. Norman Shealy, M.D., who is a physician,neurosurgeon, and expert on pain and stress management, the answergoes further than a medical explanation. The Creation of Healthexplores the emotional, physical, and spiritual patterns that formhealth and the stresses that can cause disease. Myss identifies eight dysfunctional patterns that lead toillness. Being aware that "negative attitudes create negativeresponses within the physical body" allows you to make changestoward health after identifying your emotional, psychological, andspiritual stresses. The most interesting chapters discuss specificdiseases in terms of lifestyle factors, stress, and psychologicalpatterns and energy factors, with case studies. A heart attack, forexample, is "an explosion of energy attempting to break down anemotional barrier ... caused by warehousing fears and anger," saysMyss. The auth
Steven Pinker's riveting, myth-destroying new book reveals how,contrary to popular belief, humankind has become progressively lessviolent, over millenia and decades. Given the images of conflict we see daily on our screens, canviolence really have declined? And wasn't the twentiethcentury the most devastatingly brutal in history? Extraordinarily,however, as Steven Pinker shows, violence within and between societies - both murder and warfare - really has declined fromprehistory to today. We are much less likely to die at someoneelse's hands than ever before. Debunking both the idea of the 'noble savage' and aHobbesian notion of a 'nasty, brutish and short' life, StevenPinker argues that modernity and its cultural institutions aremaking us better people. He ranges over everything from art toreligion, international trade to individual table manners, andshows how life has changed across the centuries and around theworld - not simply through the huge benefits of organizedgovernment, but also because of the ex
A wide-ranging, provocative study of how our notions ofdemocracy, freedom, and tolerance are threatened during political,social, and economic crises. In this ambitious history, Jay Feldman takes us from therun-up to World War I and its anti-German hysteria through theSeptember 11th attacks and Arizona’s current anti-immigrationmovement. What we see is a striking pattern of elected officialsand private citizens alike inflaming pervasive American fears andprejudices to ostracize minorities, silence dissent, and stem thegrowth of civil rights and liberties. Among the many examplesFeldman discusses are the government’s first efforts, during theDepression, to deport and “repatriate” Mexicans and MexicanAmericans; President Franklin Roosevelt’s order of “summaryapprehension” of 112,000 people during World War II; and theviciousness of the Cold War anticommunist campaign and theconsequent Lavender Scare, in which thousands of gay governmentemployees were fired on suspicion of “moral wea
