A New Reality: Human Evolution for a Sustainable Future provides a startling, fresh new message of understanding, perspective and hope for today's tense, rapid-fire, kaleidoscopically changing world. Drawn from the writings of visionary scientist Jonas Salk, who developed the polio vaccine, extended and developed by his son Jonathan, the message of the book explodes from the past and sheds light on tensions that besiege us and the currents of discord that are raging as these words are written. More importantly, it indicates a way forward out of our current situation. Written by a world-famous doctor and folk hero, based on population data, rich in visual imagery, elegantly designed, and clearly written, A New Reality is unique in the marketplace. Readable in one or two sittings, it is accessible to the general reader while at the same time being of essential value to policy makers and academics. Its brevity and simplicity of design belie the importance and sophistication of its message. We are at a point in the course of human social evolution when the demands of survival converge with the higher ideals of humankind and the well-being and flourishing of human society. It is up to us to see that we navigate this transition, adapting to and emerging in a new reality. --A New Reality Our country is divided and polarized. Terrorism is a major threat throughout much of the world. Mass migrations are causing national and international tension. Population growth continues to increase, especially in the developing regions of the world. Controversy rages as to the use of fossil fuels versus the development of alternative forms of energy. Disagreement continues about climate change. Opposing currents of opinion collide as to how much we should help other areas in the world and how much to help ourselves. Basic values are in conflict. More than 40 years ago, Jonas Salk understood that we are at a unique moment in the history of the human species. After centuries of increase, population growth has begun to slow and is trending toward equilibrium. This change is accompanied by an equally significant change in human values--a shift from those based on unlimited availability of resources, unremitting growth, excess, independence, competition and short-term thinking to those based on limits, equilibrium, balance, interdependence, cooperation and long-term thinking. This momentous transition is the source of far-reaching tension and conflict. The way through this difficult era is to understand its basis and to focus on new values that will be of the greatest benefit to humankind. There is an urgency, however, and failure to adapt will result in disaster both for humanity and for the planet as a whole. A New Reality delivers a message of both caution and hope. Readers across the social and political spectrum will find it a reasoned and balanced counterpoint to current social and political trends. Its elegant design and long-range perspective will appeal to general readers, policy makers, millennials, baby boomers, teachers, and students, filling a need in the marketplace for a work of positivity and wisdom in otherwise bleak times.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Move from Unconscious Living to Wide-Awake Destiny Have you taken a leap of faith in life, only to discover that you have crossed an invisible threshold that seems to have launched you into an unfamiliar place where nothing looks or works the way it used to? Do you feel stranded on strange seas without a map or a compass? Does it feel as if you are drifting through life without a rudder, or as if you are rowing hard but getting nowhere fast--hitting stronger, more contrary winds than you anticipated? Do you feel stuck between a former somewhere to which you cannot return and a new somewhere that you cannot seem to reach? Welcome to the gap. You are living in a messy but miraculous patch of real estate--albeit in the unstable element of the baptismal waters of life's transitions--that lies between your current reality and the location of your desired destiny. Traversing this gap is a vital step in the journey of all human beings, regardless of their race, gender, or creed. The assumption that God is in control of absolutely everything in our life will be challenged as we enter the gap to find that this notion isn't necessarily so. Rather, the choices we make determine the outcomes we receive. When you arrived on this planet, you weren't handed a script to memorize and follow. You have had to walk by faith from the moment you learned to put one foot in front of the other. You were surely created with a grand design in mind, one that includes your capacity to invoke, evoke, and provoke personal destiny. Calling your destiny into being requires your intentional participation and cooperation. Through LifeQuest, seasoned people-helper, semiotician, professional certified coach, and master consultant Dr. Mark Chironna will guide you in charting a course for your life's journey. He will help you to ask the right questions, encourage you to explore the mysterious gap between your current reality and your future destiny, and show you that change is not your enemy.

Hardback. Condition: Good. A USA Today bestsellerThe dramatic, larger-than-life true story behind the founding of Oculus, its quest for virtual reality, and its founder's contentious battle for political freedom against Facebook, from the bestselling author of Console Wars (now a CBS All Access film).In The History of the Future, Harris once again deep-dives into a tech drama for the ages to expertly tell the larger-than-life true story of Oculus, the virtual reality company founded in 2012 that?less than two years later?would catch the attention of Mark Zuckerberg and wind up being bought by Facebook for over $2 billion dollars.This incredible underdog story begins with inventor Palmer Luckey, then just a nineteen-year-old dreamer, living alone in a camper trailer in Long Beach, California. At the time, virtual reality?long-hailed as the ultimate technology?was so costly and experimental that it was unattainable outside of a few research labs and military training facilities. But with the founding of Oculus, and the belief that his tantalizing vision of the future could one day be more than science fiction, Luckey put everything he had into creating a device that would allow gamers like him to step into virtual worlds and, in doing so, hopefully kickstart a VR revolution.  With the help of an industry legend, a serial entrepreneur, and a slew of colorful characters?including those behind gaming sensations like Doom, Words with Friends, and Guitar Hero?Luckey?s scrappy startup would finally deliver the dream of immersive and affordable virtual reality to consumers, leading geeks and gamers to be excited in a way that they hadn?t been in years, and tech firms and investors scrambling to get in on the action before it was too late.Over the course of three years (and with unprecedented access from Oculus and Facebook), Harris conducted hundreds of interviews with key players in the VR revolution?including Luckey, his partners, and their cult of dreamers?to weave together a rich, cinematic narrative that captures the breakthroughs, breakdowns, and human drama of trying to change the world. The result is a supremely accessible, entertaining look at the birth of a new multi-billion-dollar industry; one full of heroes, villains, and twists at every corner. Take, for instance, Harris? own discovery while writing this story. When he started this endeavor, he had no idea that this tale would somehow involve Donald Trump, billion-dollar lawsuits, illegal practices, and end with Luckey?eventually ousted from Facebook?as one of the most polarizing figures in Silicon Valley.…
