Afterwards, You're a Genius: Faith, Medicine, and the Metaphysics of Healing
Journalist Chip Brown walks the uncharted border between mind and body in this edgy, eloquent exploration of sickness and health-introducing us along the way to scientists and seekers, psychics and psychiatrists, gurus, goddesses, and spirit guides. Deeply personal, refreshingly funny, and always thought-provoking, this book examines what we know, and don't know, about medicine-as we continue humankind's quest to separate the salve from the snake oil and expand our appreciation for the strange magic that lies at the heart of healing. This award-winning writer's "remarkable" exploration of the mysterious art of healing is "beautiful and entertaining...unlike any book you've read on the subject of seeking." ( Esquire) "I loved this book."-Larry Dossey, M.D. "Deeply honest and dazzlingly intelligent."-Pam Houston, Elle"A wonderful, thoughtful, charmingly written history of his examination of what we might generically call New Age healing practices....Language too is a subtle power, and Chip Brown has mastered it."- Madison"Compelling and believable."-Abraham Verghese, Vogue"A brilliant study of human possibility-intellectually engaging, psychologically attuned, fearlessly imaginative, and full of surprises."-Bob Woodward.

Ecology and Evolution of Darwin's Finches
After his famous visit to the Galápagos Islands, Darwin speculated that "one might fancy that, from an original paucity of birds in this archipelago, one species had been taken and modified for different ends." This book is the classic account of how much we have since learned about the evolution of these remarkable birds. Based upon over a decade's research, Grant shows how interspecific competition and natural selection act strongly enough on contemporary populations to produce observable and measurable evolutionary change. In this new edition, Grant outlines new discoveries made in the thirteen years since the book's publication. Ecology and Evolution of Darwin's Finches is an extraordinary account of evolution in action..

The Coming Internet Depression: Why the High-Tech Boom Will Go Bust, Why the Crash Will Be Worse Than You Think, and How to Prosper Afterwards
The economist most renowned for predicting the New Economy of the 1990s now returns-just as books like The Long Boom and Dow 36,000 are turning the idea of perpetual prosperity into conventional wisdom-to say that the dominating economic event of the next few years is likely to be a deep recession, perhaps even a depression. Michael J. Mandel begins The Coming Internet Depression by explaining why just such a depression is not only possible but increasingly likely. His explanation is based in a comparison of the present period with the 1920s: both saw tremendous growth in GDP that was largely centered on the "hypergrowth" of a single industry-automobiles in the 1920s, information technology today. When this "hypergrowth" reverts to a normal growth pattern, as the automobile industry did in 1929, the resulting overcapacity will slow down the entire economy. Mandel addresses three key questions: When will the Internet Depression start? How will we know when it's coming? How bad will it be? Finally, he shows how investors, workers, and businesses can navigate the bad times safely and prosper in the long recovery that will follow. .
