Starcodes


Book Description

An exploration of the unique, empowering concept of choice-based astrology: your destiny is not yet decided and, with a better understanding of your chart, you can make the best choices to live your highest life. Astrology does not define the future; rather, it describes a pattern. You, and only you, choose how to respond. Here, astrologer Heather Roan Robbins teaches us to use the spectrum of each astrological concept and symbol—from its challenge through its practical application to its divine gift to give you choice. This same empowering approach can be applied to how you read your natal chart. It’s tempting to read descriptions of your individual chart and look for problems and difficult transits, rather than seeing the opportunities for healing and growth. That’s where Starcodes steps in: it’s an astrological invitation to read your chart in a whole new way, explaining the signs as filters on the world’s stage lighting. The personality of each planet shines through the lens of a sign and takes on its tint and hue. The planetary personalities interact with each other in clear geometric patterns—or aspects—and so argue, support, challenge or energize one another. Once you understand your unique map—your planetary pattern—you may move through your life with confidence.




Starcode


Book Description

In the first decades of the 21st-century, humanity manages to establish communication with other intelligent beings. Apparently harmless, the contact progressively strays towards being something far more dangerous than anybody ever imagined. It will not be as we had expected. "Starcode" tackles a star topic of science fiction with a radically original plot, whose development and outcome will surprise the reader, as much the aficionado of the genre as one who is simply in search of an entertaining and addictive book. As described online: "Starcode is a kind of high voltage ‘Contact' by Carl Sagan which will delight readers of science fiction. A fresh touch for science fiction, in a light read, whose ending and epilogue will make you reflect on the entire book. Recommended!" Carter Damon is an author who has sold thousands of books through Amazon.

Everyday Palmistry


Book Description

Heather Roan Robbins brings you an accessible and practical system of palmistry that is easy to integrate into your daily life and deepens your understanding of yourself and the people you meet. Distilled from decades of experience, palmist and astrologer Heather Roan Robbins has developed a uniquely grounded but soul-centred approach to palmistry. She teaches you how to explore the landscape of the hand and come to know the hills and valleys of the hand's contours, recognize the deep rivers of the major lines and listen to the bend of the fingers. When you understand the shape and form of a person's hand, you can understand their disposition. Get a glimpse of their lines and get a clue as to how they communicate. Understanding the hand's topography will help you accept and deal with yourself, clients, family and co-workers alike. For those who want to become a professional palmist, Everyday Palmistry lays a good foundation in an accessible and memorable format. And for those of us who just want to know more about ourselves, this approach to palmistry offers a visual portrait of the patterns of our soul and can give us clues to how to bring ourselves and our lives into a better balance. Because the landscape of the hand changes over time, it reflects shifts in our life habits and the consequences of our major decisions. The hand is your energy conduit to the world. So let's paint a beautiful future with the power of our choices now.







Seeing Like a State


Book Description

“One of the most profound and illuminating studies of this century to have been published in recent decades.”—John Gray, New York Times Book Review Hailed as “a magisterial critique of top-down social planning” by the New York Times, this essential work analyzes disasters from Russia to Tanzania to uncover why states so often fail—sometimes catastrophically—in grand efforts to engineer their society or their environment, and uncovers the conditions common to all such planning disasters. “Beautifully written, this book calls into sharp relief the nature of the world we now inhabit.”—New Yorker “A tour de force.”— Charles Tilly, Columbia University




Albion's Seed


Book Description

This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.




The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind


Book Description

National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry
