    In the Devil's Snare (eBook, ePUB)
    Award-winning historian Mary Beth Norton reexamines the Salem witch trials in this startlingly original, meticulously researched, and utterly riveting study. In 1692 the people of Massachusetts were living in fear, and not solely of satanic afflictions. Horrifyingly violent Indian attacks had all but emptied the northern frontier of settlers, and many traumatized refugees—including the main accusers of witches—had fled to communities like Salem. Meanwhile the colony's leaders, defensive about their own failure to protect the frontier, pondered how God's people could be suffering at the hands of savages. Struck by the similarities between what the refugees had witnessed and what the witchcraft "victims” described, many were quick to see a vast conspiracy of the Devil (in league with the French and the Indians) threatening New England on all sides. By providing this essential context to the famous events, and by casting her net well beyond the borders of Salem itself, Norton sheds new light on one of the most perplexing and fascinating periods in our history.

    The Speed of Light: Constancy and Cosmos , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 381min
    Light - our experience of light, our measurement of light, and the notion that light speed is constant - can be understood to mark our interface with the cosmos. David A. Grandy's book moves from the scientific to the existential, from Einstein to Merleau-Ponty, from light as a phenomenon to light as that which is constitutive of reality. To measure the speed of light is to measure something about the way we are measured or blended into the cosmos, and that universal blending predetermines our measurement of light speed in favor of a universal or constant value. It's quite a trip, one aimed at scientists who have pondered light speed constancy, philosophers inclined to question the idea that mind and world are distinct, and scientifically or philosophically inclined persons who enjoy stretching themselves in new ways. ungekürzt.

    The Socratic Quest: Waking Up to the Cerebral Mirage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 227min
    Too often students today think that Plato's dialogues concerning Socrates have no relevance to the present issues confronting humankind. It is mistakenly believed that Socrates' quest is dated and that we as species have outgrown such philosophical speculations. However, this is not the case, since the Socratic search for knowledge is a perennial one and we can learn much by closely reading what these early Greek thinkers pondered during their time. In this book, we have included excerpts from the Socratic dialogues (as penned by his most famous student, Plato) and Professor Andrea Diem-Lane's brilliant treatise on the "Cerebral Mirage" which brings Plato and Socrates up to date by showing how the latest findings in quantum theory and neuroscience substantiate much of early Greek skepticism, particularly concerning how easily we can be deceived by our various forms of certainty. ungekürzt.

    What Love Really Feels Like: Learning Thyself, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min
    What does love really feel like? I pondered this question more than I have pondered nearly every other question in my life. I looked for love in all the wrong places for much of my life. I didn’t know what love was. I thought love meant sex. I thought it meant physical affection. I thought it meant that you picked someone and built a life together. I thought love meant saying your vows to someone else. I thought it meant making a commitment. Later in life, an ice storm and a miscarriage and a lawsuit would ultimately make me experience what love really was. It pushed all the boundaries of what my prior experiences had been. I thought it was an automatic thing between a mother and her child. I thought fathers automatically loved their children, too. My mother didn’t love me. Not really. She didn’t love me the way I needed to feel love. She didn’t love me in ways that I recognized or defined love. This left me not feeling loved by her at all. People always said, "Your mother loves you in her own way." She loves you in the way an addict can love someone. She loves her substances more than she loves you. She loves her job more than she loves you. She loves your dad more than she loves you. She loves your sister more than she loves you. Occasionally, I would hear her say "I love you" behind her drugged and alcohol-induced sobbing. She would send me some nonsensical sappy love song in a video from Youtube. Those song lyrics meant something to her mind when she had dementia. She tried to portray her love through them, but I still never felt loved by her. After all, she had done so many things that made me feel unloved. She had hurt me so many times. I’m sure some of the people in your life made you feel unloved, too. Then, they made you feel guilty and crazy for feeling invalidated and unloved. After all, they were trying to portray their love in some language they understand. Why couldn’t you just get the mes ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Landon Forrest.
