Описание: This short treatise looks at how we construct a social reality from our sense impressions; at how, for example, we construct a 'five-pound note' with all that implies in terms of value and social meaning, from the printed piece of paper we see and touch.

In The Construction of Social Reality, eminent philosopher John Searle examines the structure of social reality (or those portions of the world that are facts only by human agreement, such as money, marriage, property, and government), and contrasts it to a brute reality that is independent of human agreement. Searle shows that brute reality provides the indisputable foundation for all social reality, and that social reality, while very real, is maintained by nothing more than custom and habit.

Описание: Whether painting a mysterious bearded figure floating on a flat wash of blue or a winter landscape glimpsed through a thick web of branches, Peter Doig harnesses the materiality of his medium to create what he calls `abstractions of memories`, distilling recollected sensations into moments of pure sentience. This title explores his works.

Описание: The eighth edition of this popular and manageably sized casebook retains the general structure of the prior edition, with its emphasis on practical skills and comparative material. New cases, statutes and notes have been added where appropriate to provide current information. One of the main changes is the addition of the 2015 Obergefell opinion by the U. S. Supreme Court regarding gay marriage.

Three hopeful fisherman wait in their "cobble" for the wind to fill their sails and take them home. But the Weather Witch says "Nay " and won't let the wind blow at all. As the sailors wait, the waves reflect the musical sounds shown in music notation on each page.

Описание:

Fracking and everything that comes with it is transforming communities across the United States; often for the worse. Some communities are fighting to mitigate the damage already done; others are fighting to prevent the damage in the first place. This is the story of a community in Southwestern Colorado-- the North Fork Valley--fighting to prevent oil and gas leasing on the public lands which surround or permeate its watershed, farms, ranches, homes, and prime fishing and hunting grounds. This is the story of how individuals come together to protect the North Fork Valley's brand of clean air, water and food, its status as 1 of 14 pristine places in the United States considered Too Wild To Drill, and its role in Colorado's food security and recreational economy. This is the story of farmers, ranchers, sportsmen, business owners, homeowners, parents, lawyers, artists, residents, and nonprofit organizations all coming together to save one of the most special and unique places in the world. This is the story of how to fight back against powerful interests to protect your individual health, wellbeing and livelihood. This is the story of how one community is not only fighting for itself but for everyone who depends on the highest quality of fruits, vegetables, and meats that come from the largest concentration of organic farms in the State of Colorado from being destroyed.

Описание: It has long been one of the most fundamental problems of philosophy, and it is now, John Searle writes, "the most important problem in the biological sciences": What is consciousness? Is my inner awareness of myself something separate from my body?

In what began as a series of essays in The New York Review of Books, John Searle evaluates the positions on consciousness of such well-known scientists and philosophers as Francis Crick, Gerald Edelman, Roger Penrose, Daniel Dennett, David Chalmers, and Israel Rosenfield. He challenges claims that the mind works like a computer, and that brain functions can be reproduced by computer programs. With a sharp eye for confusion and contradiction, he points out which avenues of current research are most likely to come up with a biological examination of how conscious states are caused by the brain.

Only when we understand how the brain works will we solve the mystery of consciousness, and only then will we begin to understand issues ranging from artificial intelligence to our very nature as human beings.
