Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The most emotionally challenging thing for me over the past eight years actually has been national politics. My deteriorating physical condition has deprived me of most of the typical distractions, so the 'news' has been hard to avoid. The political situation has caused me to reexamine repeatedly and intensely my values, beliefs and feelings. I have tried and tried to understand what has been happening and why. So, I write about losses and losing as a way to cope. As set out in the essays below, I do not blame only Donald Trump and his cronies and puppets. He has done considerable damage but, in some ways, more lasting damage has been done by his opponents in their efforts to disparage him and interfere with his policies. And, of course, many problems preceded and still transcend Trump, et al.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - These essays are on topics reflecting the intersection of science and humankind. They concern time, consciousness, beauty, probability, and understanding. They supplement and compliment my book Important Things We Don't Know: About Nearly Everything and are presented here as an accompaniment to that book. But, this volume can stand on its own. For several years, I periodically updated Important Things. But, I decided to leave the last edition as the last. Nonetheless, I keep reading and thinking. So, I have been writing short essays on scientific subjects and including them in my Wanderings books. There are now enough that I thought it worth making them (updated and revised-in some cases, very substantially), along with some new ones, separately available as an addendum to the original book.This is the second edition, revised and updated.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'What was life No one knew.It was undoubtedly aware of itself,so soon as it was life;but it did not know what it was.'Thomas MannThe Magic Mountain (1924) In June 2024, while working my way through Thomas Mann's seemingly interminable novel The Magic Mountain (a project started six weeks earlier), I encountered his multipage discourse on 'life.' It left me astonished. One hundred years earlier, in 1924, Mann eloquently presented the fundamental questions about life that we are confronting 100 years later: the enormity of the chasm between life and inanimate matter, the mysteries of the cell, the nature of consciousness, the source of matter, the origin of life, as well as the question 'What is Life '. (For context, Irwin Schrödinger's revolutionary small book, 'What is Life The Physical Aspect of the Living Cell' appeared in 1944.) This got me thinking that I did not do the matter justice in my book Important Things We Don't Know or in the addendum Imaginings. In addition, I had written quite a bit about these issues in my last Wanderings book, Disappointments. So, I decided to adapt the relevant essays from Disappointments, add new material and produce a second addendum, organized around some of the more striking excerpts from Mann's dissertation. This is the result, now updated and expanded.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. I have become accustomed to expressing myself freely about matters well beyond my expertise but only after trying to inform myself. (One might say that that became my expertise as a lawyer.) But, this is first time that I have gone beyond my comfort zone. Religious beliefs constitute a treacherous area in which to stomp around. I tried to hedge the risks by focusing on an intellectual issue susceptible to relatively objective analysis, but I realized quickly that one cannot avoid one's own beliefs in trying to say something potentially interesting about Christianity. I do, however, manage not to talk about faith, but it is and remains the elephant in the room-in many rooms. My focus is on the first 150 years after the births of Jesus, John the Baptist and the Apostle Paul. This is definitely not a history of the Church or of early Christianity. My interest is in the events leading up to the emergence of Christianity. My focus is on the first 150 years after the births of Jesus, John the Baptist and the Apostle Paul.
