The Seduction of Certainty: A New Way of Looking at Faith, Knowledge, Science, Religion, Politics, and the Media , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min
What is the Seduction of Certainty? And do we really need a new way of looking at faith, knowledge, science, religion, politics, and the media? Writer Mike Luoma believes we do, and delves into the ways we fool ourselves into believing our metaphors are truths. This book covers its subject in sharp, concise fashion, delivering numerous insights in its compact form.There is an element of faith in any human endeavor. There has to be. Because certainty is an illusion. Whatever metaphors we use to cope with the world's basic uncertainty will be human constructs attempting to define the undefinable, the human mind attempting to encompass itself. We label things and build systems to explain the world to ourselves. We have to!The trap is in losing oneself in the metaphor, in convincing oneself the metaphor isn't merely one way of trying to define the ineffable, but the way - losing the sense of metaphor to that sense of "truth" and certainty. It is seductive, that certainty. But that same certitude becomes destructive when and if reality begins throwing up things that challenge the faith in that certainty. At best, the certitude leads its believers to ignore and reject any evidence contrary to their belief systems. At worst, it leads to violent suppression of contrary ideas.We need to see our metaphors - all of them - for what they are: attempts to put labels on and to describe a reality which is actually beyond our complete comprehension. ungekürzt.

Chippy: The Liam Brady Story, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
Every now and again, a special player comes along who has the skill and imagination to single-handedly change a game, make the spectators gasp and set everyone's pulses racing. Liam Brady was such a player. At Arsenal, "Chippy" will forever be a true Highbury legend, who deservedly is always one of the first names onto an "all time greatest" Arsenal teamsheet. He will always be remembered for scoring some truly amazing goals, as well as for guiding Arsenal to three successive FA Cup Finals, particularly playing a huge part in Arsenal's FA Cup Final triumph over Manchester United in 1979, arguably the most exciting Cup Final ever played. But Brady's greatness didn't rest just with Arsenal. He went on to become the most successful British player to grace Series A, winning two championships with Italian giants Juventus, taking centre stage for Sampdoria and enjoying a successful stint in the San Siro with Inter Milan, before returning to England for one last hurrah with West Ham. In addition to Liam's club successes, "Chippy" also starred on the international stage for Ireland, winning 72 caps. But, despite all the glory and medals, it is the skill, the talent and that undefinable genius that will always be Brady's legacy. Travel back to Italy with Liam, go behind the scenes at Highbury and hear from his old coaches, his ex-team mates and the greats of the game who pay tribute to a man who rightly earned his tag as one of the very greatest.

A Conception of the Universe or Exploring the Universe from Within: A Thought Experiment and Essay , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 160min
Visualize and explore the wonders of our universe. Black holes, dark matter, space-time, gravity, light-speed, orbits, photons, dark energy, solar systems, the big bang, expansion, the shape of the universe, and even the multiverse! "The following is an intellectual exercise used in an attempt to formulate a larger perspective of the cosmos, applying evidence, logic, and imagination; to lay the ground on which one is able to construct hypothetical tentative chains of thought. Doing so, an individual has the opportunity to formulate diverse models of various subjects, including the very universe of which they or we are a part; thus providing potential explanations and viewpoints to subjects that may otherwise be unattainable or at times even undefinable. Together we shall endeavor to visualize a handful of the universe's known laws. Then continue further by speculating likely or at least possible solutions to other issues that we are currently only able to speculate on. Provisional or temporary concepts we are willing to amend as updated data is acquired or learned." Using a series of brilliantly described thought experiments, Vogt illustrates his ever-evolving models, laying the foundation to conceptualize concepts that may at times be difficult to fully imagine. Science teaches us one hard-earned, laborious step at a time, how nature itself unfolds. However, without imagination, science would never make the great leaps forward we are all growing so used to. "In the lab, we have access to an unlimited supply of hypothetical technology and infinite space to create, all at our control, and it's all free to use." Explore the universe within your own mind and expand your conceptual understanding of the cosmos with this amazing and inspiring, thought-provoking and wonderfully written adventure.

Illuminae: The Illuminae Files, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 700min
For fans of Marie Lu comes the first book in an epic series that bends the sci-fi genre into a new dimension. “A truly beautiful novel that redefines the form." (Victoria Aveyard, best-selling author of Red Queen)This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she'd have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival mega-corporations are at war over a planet that's little more than a speck at the edge of the universe. Now, with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra - who are barely even talking to each other - are forced to evacuate with a hostile warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A plague has broken out and is mutating with terrifying results; the fleet's AI may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what's really going on. As Kady hacks into a web of data to find the truth, it's clear only person who can help her is the ex-boyfriend she swore she’d never speak to again. Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents - including emails, maps, files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more - Illuminae is the first audiobook in a heart-stopping trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes. “Prepare yourselves for Illuminae.” (EW.com) “[Y]ou’re not in for an ordinary novel experience....” (Bustle.com)“A truly interactive experience....

Free: Why Science Hasn't Disproved Free Will , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 131min
Does free will exist? The question has fueled heated debates spanning from philosophy to psychology and religion. The answer has major implications, and the stakes are high. To put it in the simple terms that have come to dominate these debates, if we are free to make our own decisions, we are accountable for what we do, and if we aren't free, we're off the hook. There are neuroscientists who claim that our decisions are made unconsciously and are therefore outside of our control and social psychologists who argue that myriad imperceptible factors influence even our minor decisions to the extent that there is no room for free will. According to philosopher Alfred R. Mele, what they point to as hard and fast evidence that free will cannot exist actually leaves much room for doubt. If we look more closely at the major experiments that free-will deniers cite, we can see large gaps where the light of possibility shines through. In Free: Why Science Hasn't Disproved Free Will, Mele lays out his opponents' experiments simply and clearly, and proceeds to debunk their supposed findings, one by one, explaining how the experiments don't provide the solid evidence for which they have been touted. There is powerful evidence that conscious decisions play an important role in our lives, and knowledge about situational influences can allow people to respond to those influences rationally rather than with blind obedience. Mele also explores the meaning and ramifications of free will. What, exactly, does it mean to have free will - is it a state of our soul, or an undefinable openness to alternative decisions? Is it something natural and practical that is closely tied to moral responsibility? Since evidence suggests that denying the existence of free will actually encourages bad behavior, we have a duty to give it a fair chance.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along ungekürzt.

The Liar's Dictionary
'Made me almost tearful with gratitude that a book as clever as this could give such uncomplicated pleasure ... And when you find a book like this, you grab it, and you hold it close.' JOHN SELF'A delight ... As funny and vivid as Dickens, as moving and memorable as Nabokov ... An extraordinarily large-hearted work.' THE CRITICPicked as a 'Book of the Year' in the Guardian____________________________________mountweazel, noun: a fake entry deliberately inserted into a dictionary or work of reference. Often used as a safeguard against copyright infringement.In the final year of the nineteenth century, Peter Winceworth has reached the letter 'S', toiling away for the much-anticipated and multi-volume Swansby's New Encyclopaedic Dictionary. Overwhelmed at his desk and increasingly uneasy that his colleagues are attempting to corral language and regiment facts, Winceworth feels compelled to assert some sense of individual purpose and exercise artistic freedom, and begins inserting unauthorised, fictitious entries into the dictionary. In the present day, young intern Mallory is tasked with uncovering these mountweazels as the text of the dictionary is digitised for modern readers. Through the words and their definitions she finds she has access to their creator's motivations, hopes and desires. More pressingly, she must also field daily threatening anonymous phone calls. Is a suggested change to the dictionary's definition of marriage (n.) really that controversial? What power does Mallory have when it comes to words and knowing how to tell the truth? And does the caller really intend for the Swansby's staff to 'burn in hell'?As their two narratives combine, Winceworth and Mallory must discover how to negotiate the complexities of an often nonsensical, untrustworthy, hoax-strewn and undefinable life._____________________________________The Liar's Dictionary explores themes of trust and creativity, naming the unnameable, and celebrates the rigidity, fragility and absurdity of language. It is an exhilarating debut novel from a formidably brilliant young writer._____________________________________'Eley Williams's debut novel, The Liar's Dictionary, is a lexicographical delight.' OBSERVER'Deft and clever, refreshing and rewarding ... An assured and satisfying writer, her language rich and intricate and her characters rounded enough to be sympathetic and lampoonist enough to be terribly funny.' LITERARY REVIEW'[The] most exciting of young British writers ... Williams luxuriates in words and wordplay, in definition and precision and invention ...The Liar's Dictionary is a public joy, and Eley Williams a free-spirited literary kook with bags of potential.' BIG ISSUE'A singular, hilarious, word-drunk novel, which I suspect will be seen in the future as a classic comic novel.' DAVID HAYDEN, IRISH TIMES'The Liar's Dictionary is the book I was longing for ... Positively intoxicated with the joy and wonder of language ... Eley Williams brings erudition and playfulness - and lovely sweetness - to every page.' BENJAMIN DREYER, New York Times bestselling author of DREYER'- Shop: buecher
