But one other branch of the tree of life has also sprouted surprising intelligence: the cephalopods, consisting of the squid, the cuttlefish, and above all the octopus. New research shows that these marvelous creatures display remarkable gifts. What does it mean that intelligence on earth has evolved not once but twice? And that the mind of the octopus is nonetheless so different from our own? Combining science and philosophy with firsthand accounts of his cephalopod encounters, Godfrey-Smith shows how primitive organisms bobbing in the ocean began sending signals to each other and how these early forms of communication gave rise to the advanced nervous systems that permit cephalopods to change colors and human beings to speak.

The text of Hammad’s seminal speech and her afterword, written in the early weeks of 2024, together make up a searing appraisal of the war on Palestine during what seems a turning point in the narrative of human history. Profound and moving, Hammad writes from within the moment, giving voice to the Palestinian struggle for freedom. Recognizing the Stranger is a brilliant melding of literary and cultural analysis by one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists and a foremost writer of fiction in the world today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__gradientOverlay\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Button__container\"\u003e\u003cbutton type=\"button\" class=\"Button Button--tertiary Button--medium\" aria-label=\"Tap to show more book description\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Button__labelItem\"\u003eShow more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Isabella Hammad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49376526467352,"sku":"","price":2295.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/1586\/4121\/files\/221128625.jpg?v=1732282714"},{"product_id":"feline-philosophy-cats-and-the-meaning-of-life","title":"Feline Philosophy: Cats and the Meaning of Life","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--large\" data-testid=\"contentContainer\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph__widthConstrained\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003e'Why can't a human be more like a cat?

This groundbreaking book by a pioneering Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology, Dr Charan Ranganath, reveals the powerful role memory plays in nearly every aspect of our lives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining fascinating tales of the peculiarities of memory as well as cutting-edge science, Dr Ranganath shows the surprising ways our brains record the past and how we use that information to understand who we are in the present, and to imagine and guide our futures. Memory shapes how we experience the world, and it does that in often invisible, active and sometimes destructive ways. Dr Ranganath argues that we can use this knowledge to make better use of our flawed memories, whether in daily tasks like finding our keys or dealing with memory loss as we age. What's more, when we work with the brain's ability to learn and reinterpret past events, we can shed our biases, learn faster and heal after grief or trauma. This is a vital, accessible guide to understanding memory's quirks - and its power.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content-fade\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ca aria-expanded=\"false\" role=\"button\" data-action=\"a-expander-toggle\" class=\"a-declarative\" data-a-expander-toggle='{\"allowLinkDefault\":true, \"expand_prompt\":\"Read more\", \"collapse_prompt\":\"Read less\"}'\u003e\u003ci class=\"a-icon a-icon-extender-expand\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-expander-prompt\"\u003eRead more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Charan Ranganath","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49968962371864,"sku":"","price":2850.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/1586\/4121\/files\/223244014.jpg?v=1744291063"},{"product_id":"scattered-minds-the-origins-and-healing-of-attention-deficit-disorder","title":"Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--large\" data-testid=\"contentContainer\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph__widthConstrained\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eScattered Minds\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eexplodes the myth of attention deficit disorder as genetically based – and offers real hope and advice for children and adults who live with the condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGabor Maté is a revered physician who specializes in neurology, psychiatry and psychology – and himself has ADD.

Indeed, for centuries thinkers, writers, scholars, politicians, activists, artists, and countless others have been searching for and refining a philosophy of the human spirit. Humanism can be found in writings of Plato and Protagoras and in the thoughts of Confucius. It is ever-present in the work of Michel de Montaigne, and guided the thinking and activism of Harriet Taylor Mill. When Zora Neale Hurston writes, Somebody else may have my rapturous glance at the archangels. The springing of the yellow line of morning out of the misty deep of dawn, is glory enough for me, that is humanism par excellence. In Humanly Possible, Bakewell declares that all the different meanings of \"humanism\" are worth looking at together because they are all concerned with humanitas, or \"our culture and learning, our words and art, our good manners and sociable desire to say hello to the universe.\" What unites humanists, religious or not, scholarly or not, philosophical or not, is that they all put the human world of culture and morality at the center of their concerns. What could be more human than that? Embracing and celebrating humanism's swirling, kaleidoscopic, rich ambiguity, Bakewell sets out not just to trace this vital philosophical lineage through the lives of its major protagonists but to make her own dazzling contribution to its expansive literature. The result is an intoxicating, joyful celebration of the human spirit from one of our most beloved and charming writers. It is also a startlingly timely work that comes exactly when we most need its influence in a world gripped by the anti-humanist forces of authoritarianism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__gradientOverlay\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Button__container\"\u003e\u003cbutton type=\"button\" class=\"Button Button--tertiary Button--medium\" aria-label=\"Tap to show more book description\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Button__labelItem\"\u003eShow more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sarah Bakewell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50026865426712,"sku":"","price":2895.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/1586\/4121\/files\/209790209_1.jpg?v=1746016469"},{"product_id":"living-peacefully","title":"Living Peacefully","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--large\" data-testid=\"contentContainer\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph__widthConstrained\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn today's turbulent world, it's harder and harder to find a place of calm and to avoid conflict.
