Описание: Recently many people have assumed that we are shaped by our environment: a blank slate waiting to be inscribed by upbringing and culture, with innate abilities playing little part. This title shows that this view denies the heart of our being: human nature.

Описание: One of Vanity Fair's Great Quarantine Reads: Step into Jenny Slate's wild imagination in this "magical" (Mindy Kaling), "delicious" (Amy Sedaris), and "poignant" (John Mulaney) New York Times bestseller about love, heartbreak, and being alive -- "this book is something new and wonderful" (George Saunders).

You may "know" Jenny Slate from her Netflix special, Stage Fright, as the creator of Marcel the Shell, or as the star of "Obvious Child." But you don't really know Jenny Slate until you get bonked on the head by her absolutely singular writing style. To see the world through Jenny's eyes is to see it as though for the first time, shimmering with strangeness and possibility.

As she will remind you, we live on an ancient ball that rotates around a bigger ball made up of lights and gasses that are science gasses, not farts (don't be immature). Heartbreak, confusion, and misogyny stalk this blue-green sphere, yes, but it is also a place of wild delight and unconstrained vitality, a place where we can start living as soon as we are born, and we can be born at any time. In her dazzling, impossible-to-categorize debut, Jenny channels the pain and beauty of life in writing so fresh, so new, and so burstingly alive, we catch her vision like a fever and bring it back out into the bright day with us, where everything has changed.

Описание:

In this book, you will find essays concerning philosophy, politics, economics, religion, science, culture, society, history, mathematics, and other topics. They are written in various styles, including conversations, stories and something close to rants. Volume II contains 35 essays written between 2015 and 2017.

If Scott wrote his own intro about them, he might have said:

You will probably disagree with many of these essays. That's okay. Some of them are even wrong, in the sense that I made a mistake or I misunderstood something. Some of them are really hard to understand, because I'm exploring an unfamiliar topic. Some of them are just jokes.

But I think if you read all of them, there will be quite a lot that will be true and useful to you.

I have been writing about this stuff online for years, but this is the first time my work is collected in one place on paper. I hope that these essays are interesting, thought-provoking, and at least somewhat informative.

Essays include:

• CBT In The Water Supply
• Guided By The Beauty Of Our Weapons
• It's Bayes All The Way Up
• Plus over 30 additional essays, book reviews and works of fiction.

Описание:

After an unexpected tragedy strikes, Dylan Fields struggles with what his life has become despite the support system that he has around him. Leaving the most important people in his life behind, he flees to the opposite side of the country in order to escape everything that reminds him of his late little sister. Being all alone in a new place to deal with his broken heart seems intriguing to Dylan, but he doesn't realize until he's on the plane that escaping the memory of Natalie might be harder than he thought.

On the plane, he meets Ellie, a girl who is fighting battles of her own as her past tries to control her. Dylan and Ellie find simplicity in bonding over the things that they don't want to talk about. Their conversations remain comfortably shallow and the two prefer small talk so that their designated touchy subjects don't come up.

Getting a better understanding of how the other's past has shaped who they are, the two grow closer. While they help each other deal with their struggles and cope with their new lives, they find themselves falling in love with the first person that they feel understands them and their stories.

In the midst of helping each other face the darkness and find their individual ways out of it, Dylan and Ellie manage to break down each other's walls and fall for each other, making facing things much more manageable.

Together, the two discover no matter what life throws at you, having someone who understands you by your side, makes everything that much easier.

Описание: A brilliant inquiry into the origins of human nature from the author of The Better Angels of Our Nature and Enlightenment Now.

"Sweeping, erudite, sharply argued, and fun to read..also highly persuasive." --Time

Now updated with a new afterword

One of the world's leading experts on language and the mind explores the idea of human nature and its moral, emotional, and political colorings. With characteristic wit, lucidity, and insight, Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits-a doctrine held by many intellectuals during the past century-denies our common humanity and our individual preferences, replaces objective analyses of social problems with feel-good slogans, and distorts our understanding of politics, violence, parenting, and the arts. Injecting calm and rationality into debates that are notorious for ax-grinding and mud-slinging, Pinker shows the importance of an honest acknowledgment of human nature based on science and common sense.
