    A Scientific Notebook: Thomas Henry Huxley’s 100 Insights on Critical Thinking in an Age of Unreason , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 41min
    Although Thomas Henry Huxley is most commonly known as Charles Darwin’s Bulldog (Pitbull, today?), the fact remains that he was one of the most insightful thinkers to ever write about the nature of science and its methods.Huxley coined the common usage of the word agnostic (as in “not” or “un” knowing) in contradistinction to the more commonly used Greek word gnosis (as in “knowing” or “to know”). He was an eminently rational man, who though critical of dogmatic religion and believed in the high ethical standards of Judaism and Christianity in terms of how we should treat one another. This small book contains 100 aphorisms from a much larger collection culled by Henrietta A. Huxley at the beginning of the 20th century and published in London, England, in 1908. Our hope is that these penetrating thoughts (occasionally Koan-like in their import) will serve as guideposts on how to become a better critical thinker in all endeavors, scientific or otherwise. ungekürzt.

    The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1043min
    A prescient warning of a future we now inhabit, where fake news stories and Internet conspiracy theories play to a disaffected American populace“A glorious book... A spirited defense of science... From the first page to the last, this book is a manifesto for clear thought.” - Los Angeles TimesHow can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions.Casting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. And yet, disturbingly, in today's so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning with stories of alien abduction, channeling past lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect. As Sagan demonstrates with lucid eloquence, the siren song of unreason is not just a cultural wrong turn but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens our most basic freedoms.Praise for The Demon-Haunted World“Powerful... A stirring defense of informed rationality... Rich in surprising information and beautiful writing.” - The Washington Post Book World“Compelling.” - USA Today“A clear vision of what good science means and why it makes a difference... A testimonial to the power of science and a warning of the dangers of unrestrained credulity.” - The Sciences“Passionate.” - San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Javar: Do We Have to Find the Light, or Lose the Fear of the Dark? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 117min
    Javar is a very entertaining and easy to listen audiobook. It has spine-chilling vestiges that shake the sensitive fibers of the always finite human being who searches in others his reason to be, his unreason or its nothing, catching your imagination, and taking you to other places.People only believe in what they see, with a rational attitude, which is why they have always denied the possibility of other kinds of lives. I was one of those people.One of the most important customs of the Colombian people is the oral tradition. From our ancestors, it has become customary to narrate both fictional and real stories. In this audiobook you will find popular stories, as well as those from my imagination, in which magic, folk medicine, customs, tales, mythology, proverbs, and legends are mixed, among other narratives, which in one way or another, have helped build our history. Precisely for this reason, it is essential to rescue and prevent this type of customs from being lost, even when we are aware of the path that others traveled to reach where we are today and thus build a future. We must not forget that popular culture is a basic factor that allows us to understand and channel our life; hence the importance of working on it.It is necessary to bear in mind that a great part of the myths and legends of the country were inherited from the Spanish culture, since the Conquest; also brought to us by the African slaves, without leaving aside those that are absolutely ours, that is to say, of the diverse cultures and Colombian aboriginal subcultures. ungekürzt.

    Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 686min
    New York Times best sellerNamed one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post • Los Angeles Times • San Francisco Chronicle • Harper’s Bazaar • St. Louis Post-Dispatch • The Guardian • The Kansas City Star • National Post • BookPage • Kirkus Reviews From Salman Rushdie, one of the great writers of our time, comes a spellbinding work of fiction that blends history, mythology, and a timeless love story. A lush, richly layered novel in which our world has been plunged into an age of unreason, Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is a breathtaking achievement and an enduring testament to the power of storytelling. In the near future, after a storm strikes New York City, the strangenesses begin. A down-to-earth gardener finds that his feet no longer touch the ground. A graphic novelist awakens in his bedroom to a mysterious entity that resembles his own sub-Stan Lee creation. Abandoned at the mayor's office, a baby identifies corruption with her mere presence, marking the guilty with blemishes and boils. A seductive gold digger is soon tapped to combat forces beyond imagining. Unbeknownst to them, they are all descended from the whimsical, capricious, wanton creatures known as the jinn, who live in a world separated from ours by a veil. Centuries ago, Dunia, a princess of the jinn, fell in love with a mortal man of reason. Together they produced an astonishing number of children, unaware of their fantastical powers, who spread across generations in the human world. Once the line between worlds is breached on a grand scale, Dunia's children and others will play a role in an epic war between light and dark spanning a thousand and one nights - or two years, eight months, and 28 nights. It is a time of enormous upheaval, in which beliefs are challenged, words act like poison, silence is a disease, and a noise may contain a hidden cur ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert G.
