A Sensory Journey: Meditations on Scent for Wellbeing
by Jennifer Peace RhindScent is often used to accompany meditation but is rarely the focus of it. This card set, which brings together ancient and contemporary understanding of the influence of aromatics on our wellbeing, is an introduction to meditating on scent and discovering the physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of beginning your own sensory journey. 'A Sensory Journey' guides and informs scent meditations. By meditating on the fragrance itself, rather than using it as an adjunct to other meditation rituals (through burning incense or scented candles), fragrance can go beyond merely enhancing or modifying our moods and become a key means to personal and spiritual growth. These cards, and the accompanying booklet and sensory map, explore different fragrances and make the benefits of scent meditation accessible to all. Each of the 24 cards, which are arranged in botanical groupings, features a scent description, an image of the botanical source, and inspirational words about the scent's evocative influence to help guide meditation. This unique and accessible card set is perfect for anyone interested in meditation, personal growth and the use of fragrance to enhance wellbeing.

Sensory Neuroscience: Four Laws of Psychophysics
by Jozef J. ZwislockiSensory Neuroscience: Four Laws of Psychophysics organizes part of psychophysics -- a science of quantitative relationships between human sensations and the stimuli that evoke them. Although psychophysics belongs to sensory neuroscience, and is coupled to neurophysiology, it has also branched out to various specialized disciplines, including the disciplines of vision and hearing, ophthalmology, optometry, otology, and audiology. Due to this diversification and fragmentation, psychophysics has had an ad-hoc, phenomenological orientation. Besides Weber's law of differential sensitivity, and the still-controversial Stevens' power law, it has lacked a systematic grid of scientific laws. Sensory Neuroscience: Four Laws of Psychophysics provides valid unifying principles and systematic applications for this otherwise fragmented precursor of experimental psychology, and defines four multisensory relationships of substantial generality between sensations and the underlying stimulus variables. This book will be particularly useful to auditory researchers, experimental psychologists, and behavioral neuroscientists.

Sentience: The Invention of Consciousness
by Nicholas HumphreyThe story of a quest to uncover the evolutionary history of consciousness from one of the world's leading theoretical psychologists.We feel, therefore we are. Conscious sensations ground our sense of self. They are crucial to our idea of ourselves as psychic beings: present, existent, and mattering. But is it only humans who feel this way? Do other animals? Will future machines? Weaving together intellectual adventure and cutting-edge science, Nicholas Humphrey describes in Sentience his quest for answers: from his discovery of blindsight in monkeys and his pioneering work on social intelligence to breakthroughs in the philosophy of mind.The goal is to solve the hard problem: to explain the wondrous, eerie fact of &“phenomenal consciousness&”—the redness of a poppy, the sweetness of honey, the pain of a bee sting. What does this magical dimension of experience amount to? What is it for? And why has it evolved? Humphrey presents here his new solution. He proposes that phenomenal consciousness, far from being primitive, is a relatively late and sophisticated evolutionary development. The implications for the existence of sentience in nonhuman animals are startling and provocative.
SENZA RISPOSTA
by CAPT KUNAL NARAYAN UNIYAL Roberto FellettiSenza Risposta. Mi rendo conto che sia un titolo alquanto insolito per un libro di poesie, fatta eccezione per qualche prosa. Prima di aggiungere qualsiasi altra cosa sul mio libro, vorrei dire qualcosa su di me e sui miei processi mentali. Nato e cresciuto a Dehradun (India settentrionale), ho sempre condiviso una stretta affinità con la natura. Ero solito amare, e lo sono ancora, osservare la natura e riflettere su quanto possa essere amorevole e crudele allo stesso tempo. Sono cresciuto con i miei pensieri e ho iniziato a navigare, un lavoro perfetto per me. La mia mente errabonda aveva così la possibilità di riflettere ulteriormente. Spesso me ne stavo tutto solo, sul ponte della mia nave, a sentire le vibrazioni dell'impetuoso oceano sotto di me, mentre il cielo cambiava colore e umore da un momento all'altro. Talvolta mi sono spaventato... sono rimasto sconcertato... ipnotizzato, contemporaneamente. Rispetto la natura in tutte le sue forme... la sua benevolenza... la sua furia... i suoi colori... la sua imperturbabilità... la sua imprevedibilità... tutto quanto! Poi osservo noi... intendo noi, esseri umani, così superiori, i più intelligenti... le creature viventi più progredite ma anche le più miserevoli di tutte, finché saremo preda del falso ego e dell'ignoranza. La natura ha le sue leggi, rigide, e non fa distinzioni. Siamo noi che creiamo quella che definiamo sfortuna. Cito Cassio dal Giulio Cesare: “La colpa, caro Bruto, non è delle stelle, ma nostra, se siamo sottomessi...”. Tutto ciò di cui abbiamo bisogno è scrutare dentro noi stessi e confidare nella divina provvidenza. Questo è il punto cruciale del mio libro “Senza risposta”. “Senza risposta” spiega come trovare le risposte che giacciono sepolte in fondo ai nostri cuori, ma che non riusciamo a trovare perché siamo accecati dalla nebbia dell'ego e dei desideri. “Senza risposta” si prefigge lo scopo di svelare quelle risposte. Le prose e
Separate Reality: Conversations With Don Juan
by Carlos Castaneda"A man of knowledge is free...he has no honor, no dignity, no family, no home, no country, but only life to be lived." --don JuanIn 1961 a young anthropologist subjected himself to an extraordinary apprenticeship to bring back a fascinating glimpse of a Yaqui Indian's world of "non-ordinary reality" and the difficult and dangerous road a man must travel to become "a man of knowledge." Yet on the bring of that world, challenging to all that we believe, he drew back. Then in 1968, Carlos Castaneda returned to Mexico, to don Juan and his hallucinogenic drugs, and to a world of experience no man from our Western civilization had ever entered before.
Sepher Rezial Hemelach
by Steve SavedowThe long-awaited first English translation from ancient Hebrew of the rare and complete 1701 Amsterdam edition, of this famous magical text. According to Hebrew legend, the Sepher Rezial was given to Adam in the Garden of Eden, by the hand of God. The myth suggests that this diverse compendium of ancient Hebrew lore was the first book ever written.

The Sequence of Event Analysis in Criminal Trials
by Fabrizio D'Errico Maurizio Dalla CasaThis book presents a general method that lawyers, prosecutors and judges can follows to assess the quality and scientific content of technical work done for an accident and crime scene reconstruction. Using multilevel sequence of events analysis allows all key events to be fully identified, which in turn assists judicial bodies in identifying where to assign specific criminal liability. Created from a concept long sought by the two authors (an engineer and an attorney), the method allows readers without any technical background to progress from an examination of evidence gathered at the scene of a complex accident and to reconstruct "beyond reasonable doubt" the events that took place. Once created and scientifically verified by the sequence of events analysis, the chain of key events serves as a reference source for various levels of complex organizations and inter-organization structures in cases involving complex criminal responsibilities.

Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS
by Celia Farber“Farber [is] a lucid and courageous witness to the power-play behind the first ‘scamdemic,’ . . . [Her] work is journalism at its best—solid, lucid, and humane, attacking wrongs that few dare touch, and thereby helping right them.” —Mark Crispin Miller, bestselling author and professor of media studies at NYU On April 23, 1984, in a packed press conference room in Washington, DC, the secretary of health and human services declared, “The probable cause of AIDS has been found.” By the next day, “probable” had fallen away, and the novel retrovirus later named HIV became forever lodged in global consciousness as “the AIDS virus.” Celia Farber, then an intrepid young reporter for SPIN magazine, was the only journalist to question the official narrative and dig into the science of AIDS. She reported on the “evidence” that was being continually cited and repeated by health officials and the press, the deadliness of AZT, and Dr. Fauci’s trials on children, infants, and pregnant mothers. Throughout, Faber’s reportage was largely ignored. She was maligned, maliciously attacked, and ultimately canceled. Now, forty years after her original reporting, Farber’s Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS is reissued with a new foreword by Mark Crispin Miller, shining much-needed light on her groundbreaking work once again. More relevant than ever, this book serves as an essential foundation to understanding its catastrophic sequel: COVID-19. Serious Adverse Events makes clear that the tactics employed at the height of HIV/AIDS—the fearmongering, cancel culture, and “woke” takeover of science, medicine, and journalism—persist today. The response to COVID-19 isn’t new: it is a well-trod and dangerous path in the social landscape. “Groundbreaking work.”—Bob Guccione, Jr., founder of SPIN magazine "Farber’s research give context to the Covid catastrophe which she all but predicted. Despite the medical cartel’s brutal crusade to silence and vilify her, Farber never compromised. . . I’m happy she has lived to experience her own utter vindication. I also love her writing style."—Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
