Conscious : a brief guide to the fundamental mystery of the mind / by Harris, Annaka,author.(CARDINAL)610457;
Includes bibliographical references(115-123) and index.What is consciousness? How does it arise? And why does it exist? People take their experience of being in the world for granted. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious? How are people able to think about this? And why should they? In this wonderfully accessible book, Annaka Harris guides listeners through the evolving definitions, philosophies, and scientific findings that probe the limited understanding of consciousness. Where does it reside, and what gives rise to it? Could it be an illusion or a universal property of all matter? As listeners try to understand consciousness, they must grapple with how to define it and, in the age of artificial intelligence, who or what might possess it.

The descendant of destiny / by Hill, Marion,author.(CARDINAL)419606;
What is destiny? Is destiny something to be shaped by your own hands? Is destiny something to be shaped by other people? Or is there a higher power that ultimately shapes our destiny? The Descendant of Destiny tells the story of Diondray Azur who discovers a book called The Book of Kammbi. The book reveals an ancient prophecy that needs to be fulfilled by a descendant of Oscar Ortega, one of the land of Kammbia's greatest men. All signs point to Diondray being the one who will fulfill this prophecy. However, he does not believe in the prophecy and thus begins the journey towards his destiny.--Publisher's description.
