Blueprint - Nicholas A. Christakis

A cutting-edge exploration of the ancient roots of goodness in civilization, arguing that our genes have shaped societies for our welfare and that, in a feedback loop stretching back many thousands of years, societies have shaped, and are still shaping, our genes today.For too long, scientists have focused on the dark side of our biological heritage: our capacity for aggression, cruelty, prejudice, and self-interest. But natural selection has given us a suite of beneficial social features, including our capacity for love, friendship, cooperation, and learning.Beneath all our inventions -- our tools, farms, machines, cities, nations -- we carry with us innate proclivities to make a good society.In Blueprint, Nicholas A. Christakis introduces the compelling idea that our genes affect not only our bodies and behaviors, but also the ways in which we make societies, ones that are surprisingly similar worldwide.With many vivid examples -- including diverse historical and contemporary cultures, communities formed in the wake of shipwrecks, commune dwellers seeking utopia, online groups thrown together by design or involving artificially intelligent bots, and even the tender and complex social arrangements of elephants and dolphins that so resemble our own -- Christakis shows that, despite a human history replete with violence, we cannot escape our social blueprint for goodness.In a world of increasing political and economic polarization, it's tempting to ignore the positive role of our evolutionary past. Drawing on advances in social science, evolutionary biology, genetics, neuroscience, and network science, Blueprintshows how and why evolution has placed us on a humane path -- and how we are united by our common humanity.

Path of the Soul After Death

"We are separated from the spiritual worlds only by states of consciousness, not by spatial circumstances. States of consciousness are what separate us." --Rudolf SteinerRudolf Steiner saw relationships with the dead as the "religious attitude of the future" in the highest sense. Becoming comfortable with thinking and speaking of the dead as concretely as we speak of the living will profoundly affect human activity. To Steiner, the "enlivening" and even the "sanctification" of earthly existence are not merely connected directly with our relationship to death and to the deceased; in fact, that relationship deepens these qualities and makes them possible. Steiner spoke frequently about death and the human soul's continued existence, as well as about the importance of establishing a new kind of community that unites spiritually active human souls that endure

Vrah prichádza po polnoci

Pred tridsiatimi rokmi stál detský domov Longacre na jednej z londýnskych ulíc v blízkosti dnes už chátrajúcich, kedysi veľkolepých viktoriánskych domov. Málokto vedel, že život v ňom bol pre chovancov hotovým peklom. Riaditeľ domova Gordon Tallis s nimi nezaobchádzal práve v rukavičkách. Za jeho krutosťami nezaostával ani jeho obľúbený pomocník Connor Laird. Bol to síce len chlapec, ale vyžaroval z neho strach a rešpekt. Jednej noci však domov nešťastnou náhodou vyhorel a fakty, ktoré by osvetlili, čo sa vtedy naozaj stalo, zostali pochované... až dodnes. Teraz však žijú bývalí chovanci opäť v strachu. Akási tajomná postava zabíja jedného po druhom každého, kto v domove vyrástol. Ak má niekto zastaviť toto šialenstvo, môže to byť len detektív inšpektor Ray Drake a jeho kolegyňa Flick Crowleyová, ktorá je poverená vedením vyšetrovania týchto brutálnych vrážd. No Ray sa postupne do prípadu zamotáva viac, ako je vhodné. Minulosť spojená s terorom v detskom domove mu začína šliapať na päty... Kam až bude musieť zájsť, aby zakryl skutočnú pravdu? Preložila Tamara Chovanová Ukážka z textu Cestou k svojmu domu Drake zazrel na cestičke vedúcej do záhrady šikmý tieň. Bočné dvere boli pootvorené. „To vy ste všetkých zabili?“ „Všetkých nie, ale čoskoro to budú všetci.“ „Tak sa stretnime a porozprávajme.“ „Ha, veru sa stretneme, a skoro.“ Drakovi zapraskala v uchu statická elektrina. „Skôr než si myslíš.“ Drake otvoril bočné dvere dokorán a nakukol na neosvetlený chodníček. „Kedy?“ „Všetci si žijete šťastným životom v kruhu milujúcej rodiny a nič neviete o živote. Myslíte si, že môžete žiť ďalej, akoby sa nič nestalo!“ „Ste teraz tu?“ Drake prižmúrenými očami hľadel do čiernej uličky. „Ste v mojom dome?“ „Nezabúdaj, že viem, kto si a kde si,“ povedal hlas. „Žena ti už zomrela, škoda, bol by som ju rád zabil sám, ale dcéra...“ „Nie!“ Drakovi stislo srdce.

Social Order of Collective Action - The Wisconsin Uprising of 2011 Kearney MatthewPevná vazba

The Wisconsin Uprising of 2011 was one of the largest sustained collective actions in the history of the United States. Newly-elected Governor Scott Walker introduced a shock proposal that threatened the existence of public unions and access to basic health care, then insisted on rapid passage. The protests that erupted were neither planned nor coordinated. The largest, in Madison, consolidated literally overnight into a horizontally organized leaderless and leaderful community. That community featured a high level of internal social order, complete with distribution of food and basic medical care, group assemblies for collective decision making, written rules and crowd marshaling to enforce them, and a moral community that made a profound emotional impact on its members. The resistance created a functioning commune inside the Wisconsin State Capitol Building. In contrast to what many
