'Has the power to change the way you look at the world' Steven Bartlett'The heir to Oliver Sacks' David BaddielA FINANCIAL TIMESBEST BOOK OF 2024AN INDEPENDENTBOOK OF THE MONTHGluttony. Greed. Sloth. Pride. Envy. Lust. Anger.These are the seven deadly sins, the vices of humankind that define immorality, the roots of all evil in the world. Or so some believe.But do these sins really represent moral failings, or are they simply human functions that aid us? Are they just the result of how our bodies, psyches, and brains in particular, are wired?This new book by Dr Guy Leschziner, a professor of neurology and sleep medicine, explores the underlying nature of the seven deadly sins, their neuroscientific and psychological basis, their origin in our genes and crucially how certain medical disorders give rise to them.Drawing on his clinical practice, we meet individuals whose physical and psychological conditions have given rise to these sins, where brain injury or other experiences have sparked 'immoral' actions. He explores how illness can simply expose what lies within us and investigates how the origins of these traits lie in evolutionary imperatives to preserve the wellbeing of the tribe. Perhaps, he suggests, these character traits are less of a moral question and more biological, which raises fundamental issues of responsibility and blame in the face of 'sin'.Combining cutting-edge science placed in the context of real-life experience with patients, the book reexamines where the boundaries between normal human nature, pathology and sin are drawn. And, most importantly, whether these hard-wired traits truly represent sin, or simply the intensity of our intrinsic desire to survive and thrive.

Beiträge zur Komparativen Theologie

This volume explores the many intersections of religion and health through the lens of Comparative Theology. International scholars from theology, religious studies, sociology and medicine reflect on what this interconnection means for their disciplines. Contributions address themes such as shifts in religious practice during the pandemic, medical metaphors in sacred texts, and the complex role of faith in both healing and harm.

Elements in Corporate Governance

Corporations are the engine of the modern economy, yet public debates are ideologically polarized between two extremes-shareholder value theory and stakeholder theory-and the real workings of corporations and their contributions to society are obscured. This book attempts to break the shackles of these two ideologies. It starts from the 'Two Corporate Axioms' that any reasonably well-informed person should accept, i.e., the dominance of corporations and the existence of market competition. It then derives the 'Eight Corporate Theorems' as logical extensions of the axioms and, based on these theorems, re-examines major issues surrounding corporations, including their purpose and governance. To make this construct more realistic, the book weaves the theorems into the story of an imaginary AI company, starting as a venture company and expanding eventually into a multi-planetary enterprise. This book concludes by offering a vision of the corporation as a long-term community for co-prosperity.

A rich, thorough exploration of infinity that combines mathematical precision with playful, accessible coverage of a fascinating variety of paradoxes and conundrums. In this rich, thorough account of all things infinite, Joel David Hamkins combines playful thought experiments with mathematically precise exposition to explore the vast, fascinating spectrum of paradoxes and conundrums of infinity. Written with equal parts wonder and rigor, the book moves from classical paradoxes (Zeno, Hilbert’s hotel, Aristotle’s wheel) to Cantor’s transfinite arithmetic, the continuum hypothesis, surreal numbers, infinitesimals, epistemic logic puzzles, and contemporary debates about potential vs. actual infinity. Twenty-five lively, self-contained chapters are enriched by extensive illustrations, diagrams, figures, and Fermi-style estimation puzzles. Highly readable and pedagogically rich, The Book of Infinity is ideal for undergraduate philosophy and math students and enthusiasts of logical and mathematical curiosities alike. <ul><li>Approaches a wide range of ideas with both rigor and delight</li><li>Renders deep mathematical ideas accessible to beginners</li><li>Emphasizes intuition and deep conceptual understanding</li><li>Integrates historical perspectives and contemporary issues</li><li>Suits anyone interested in paradoxes, large numbers, and conceptual puzzles</li></ul>

The Book of Infinity

Resources, Environment and Agricultural Development

This book provides an in-depth introduction of the development and implementation of weather index insurance in China's agricultural production, offering comprehensive case studies. It systematically reports the unique challenges encountered and successes achieved in each province, providing valuable insights for China and other developing countries. Combining extensive field research with in-depth policy analyses, this book presents practical strategies for designing, implementing and promoting weather index insurance programs. The main objective of the book is to systematically summarize the experiences and institutional barriers faced in developing weather index insurance in China through multiple case studies. It bridges the gap between theory and practice and is an important reference for researchers, policy makers and practitioners in the fields of agricultural insurance, climate risk management and rural development.With its empirical research and practical insights, this book is tailored for researchers, policymakers and professionals working in agricultural insurance and climate risk management. It is both a comprehensive guide and a valuable reference for advancing sustainable agricultural practices in the face of climate change.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation

Timothy Keller, Updated and Expanded Edition

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>

Each attempted answer from Toews - all of them unsatisfactory to the organiser - surfaces new layers of grief, guilt and futility connected to her sister's suicide. She has been keeping up, she realises, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands. And we, her readers, come to see that the question is as impossible to answer as deciding whether to live life as a comedy or a tragedy.A book of the year in the Guardian, New Yorker, TIME, Washington Post, New Statesman, NPR,Irish Times and LitHub.'Toews knows exactly how to extract hilarity from horrifying events' THE TIMES'Memoir perfection ...
