Lee Alan Dugatkin
The Altruism Equation: Seven Scientists Search for the Origins of Goodness

2006 y.
Publisher: Princeton University Press
Description: If evolution involves a competition for survival, then how can we explain altruism? Biologist Dugatkin ( Cheating Monkeys and Citizen Bees: The Nature of Cooperation in Animals and Humans ) splendidly narrates a fast-paced tale of scientific breakthrough, genius and intellectual history as he examines the lives of seven scientists—from T.H. Huxley through Richard Dawkins and E.O. Wilson—whose groundbreaking work attempts to answer this question. Darwin`s `bulldog,` T.H. Huxley, believed altruism was rare, and that blood kinship provided the key to an evolutionary understanding of altruism. The Russian anarchist Prince Pyotr Kropotkin, on the other hand, believed altruism was widespread and unrelated to kinship. But the idea of the kinship link won out, and in the 1960s, William Hamilton developed a cost-benefit analysis to explain the genetic basis of altruism: `If a gene for altruism is to evolve, then the cost of altruism must somehow be balanced by compensating benefits to the… [detailed...]

The Always Prayer Shawl (Reading Rainbow Books)

2005 y.
Publisher: Boyds Mills Press
Description: Oberman`s ( Lion in the Lake ) simply told and moving story invokes the power of tradition. Adam is a Jewish boy growing up in czarist Russia, where his grandfather, also named Adam, teaches him the importance of Jewish beliefs and customs, stressing that `some things change and some things don`t.` Without distancing the reader, comparisons crystallize the differences between Adam`s time and the present: `When Adam went for eggs, he did not get them from a store. He got them from a chicken. When Adam felt cold, he did not turn a dial for heat. He chopped wood for a fire.` When Adam and his parents emigrate, Adam`s grandfather gives his prayer shawl to the boy, who responds with a promise: `I am always Adam and this is my always prayer shawl. That won`t change.` In America, Adam learns to live, dress and speak differently. The prayer shawl changes, too--first the fringe is replaced, then the collar and finally the cloth. But, as Adam is to explain to his own grandson, `It is still my… [detailed...]

The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent

Description: This leading-edge book by Esther and Jerry Hicks, who present the teachings of the nonphysical entity Abraham, is about having a deliberate intent for whatever you want in life, while at the same time balancing your energy along the way. But it’s important to note that the awareness of the need to balance your energy is much more significant than goal-setting or focusing on ultimate desires. And it is from this very important distinction that this work has come forth. As you come to understand and effectively practice the processes offered here, you will not only achieve your goals and desired outcomes more rapidly, but you’ll enjoy every single step along the path even before their manifestation. As such, you’ll find that the living of your life is an ongoing journey of joy, rather than a series of long dry spells between occasional moments of temporary satisfaction. [detailed...]
