Things Stoned People Say

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carter, Morton, PUBLISHER: Skyhorse Publishing, Chances are you don't remember what you said when you were high, which is a shame, because it was probably incredibly deep and enlightening (or possibly dumb and incriminating, but we'll give you the benefit of the doubt). Fortunately, the guy sitting in the corner was scribbling your brilliant words on napkins and texting them to Magnolia Johnson for posterity: "You have friends in high places. I just have high friends." "Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?" "Make me unweird." "Violence is never the answer, man. Unless the question is 'what is never the answer?'" "You know what would make a great book, man? The history of tits." "There's no fake monkey teeth. I looked that up, too." "No matter how long you live, you're dead a lot longer." In the spirit of Things Drunk People Say, the stumbling, intriguing, nonsensical but hilarious words are enhanced with creative, original art and published for the world to see (don't worry, the quotes are listed anonymously). You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why the hell you're ever sober when you're clearly much more interesting when you're stoned. Why didn't anyone think of this before?

Life in Year One: What the World Was Like in First-Century

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Korb, Scott, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, For anyone who's ever pondered what everyday life was like during the time of Jesus comes a lively and illuminating portrait of the nearly unknown world of daily life in first-century Palestine. What was it like to live during the time of Jesus? Where did people live? Who did they marry? And what was family life like? How did people survive? These are just some of the questions that Scott Korb answers in this engaging new book, which explores what everyday life entailed two thousand years ago in first-century Palestine, that tumultuous era when the Roman Empire was at its zenith and a new religion-Christianity-was born. Culling information from primary sources, scholarly research, and his own travels and observations, Korb explores the nitty-gritty of real life back then-from how people fed, housed, and groomed themselves to how they kept themselves healthy. He guides the contemporary reader through the maze of customs and traditions that dictated life under the numerous groups, tribes, and peoples in the eastern Mediterranean that Rome governed two thousand years ago, and he illuminates the intriguing details of marriage, family life, health, and a host of other aspects of first-century life. The result is a book for everyone, from the armchair traveler to the amateur historian. With surprising revelations about politics and medicine, crime and personal hygiene, this book is smart and accessible popular history at its very best.

The Cerebral Code: Thinking a Thought in the Mosaics of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Calvin, William H. / Calvin, PUBLISHER: Bradford Book, "The Cerebral Code" is a new understanding of how Darwinian processes could operate in the brain to shape mental images in only seconds, starting with shuffled memories no better than the jumble of our nighttime dreams, but evolving into something of quality, such as a sentence to speak aloud. Jung said that dreaming goes on continuously but you can't see it when you are awake, just as you can't see the stars in the daylight because it is too bright. Calvin's is a theory for what goes on, hidden from view by the glare of waking mental operations, that produces our peculiarly human type of consciousness with its versatile intelligence. Surprisingly, the subtitle's mosaics of the mind is not a literary metaphor. For the first time, it is a description of a mechanism of what appears to be an appropriate level of explanation for many mental phenomena, that of hexagonal mosaics of electrical activity that compete for territory in the association cortex of the brain.
