Brilliant green : the surprising history and science of plant intelligence / by Mancuso, Stefano,author.(CARDINAL)424534; Benham, Joan(Translator),translator.(CARDINAL)619542; Pollan, Michael,contributor.(CARDINAL)265841; Viola, Alessandra,author.(CARDINAL)620858;
Includes bibliographical references."Are plants intelligent? Can they solve problems, communicate, and navigate their surroundings? Or are they passive, incapable of independent action or social behavior? Philosophers and scientists have pondered these questions since ancient Greece, most often concluding that plants are unthinking and inert: they are too silent, too sedentary -- just too different from us. Yet discoveries over the past fifty years have challenged these ideas, shedding new light on the extraordinary capabilities and complex interior lives of plants. In Brilliant Green, Stefano Mancuso, a leading scientist and founder of the field of plant neurobiology, presents a new paradigm in our understanding of the vegetal world. Combining a historical perspective with the latest in plant science, Mancuso argues that, due to cultural prejudices and human arrogance, we continue to underestimate plants. In fact, they process information, sleep, remember, and signal to one another -- showing that, far from passive machines, plants are intelligent and aware. Through a survey of plant capabilities from sight and touch to communication, Mancuso challenges our notion of intelligence, presenting a vision of plant life that is more sophisticated than most imagine. Plants have much to teach us, from network building to innovations in robotics and man-made materials -- but only if we understand more about how they live. Part botany lesson, part manifesto, Brilliant Green is an engaging and passionate examination of the inner workings of the plant kingdom."--

Peace is every step [sound recording] : the path of mindfulness in everyday life / by Nhất Hạnh,Thích.(CARDINAL)122283; Kotler, Arnold,1946-editor.(CARDINAL)753139; Ballerini, Edoardo,1970-narrator.(CARDINAL)353561; Blackstone Audio, Inc.(CARDINAL)346395;
Read by Edoardo Ballerini.In the rush of modern life, we tend to lose touch with the peace that is available in each moment. World-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the situations that usually pressure and antagonize us. A ringing telephone can be a signal to call us back to our true selves. Dirty dishes, red lights, and traffic jams are spiritual friends on the path to "mindfulness" -- the process of keeping our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. The most profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form right now.

How we talk : the inner workings of conversation / by Enfield, N. J.,1966-author.(CARDINAL)670722;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 213-243) and index.Introduction: What is language like? -- Conversation has rules -- Split-second thinking -- The one-second window -- Traffic signals -- The glue of relevance -- Repair -- The universal word: "Huh?" -- Conclusion: The capacity for language."We all had teachers who scolded us over the use of um, uh-huh, oh, like, and mm-hmm. But as linguist N. J. Enfield reveals in How We Talk, these "bad words" are fundamental to language. Whether we are speaking with the clerk at the store, our boss, or our spouse, language is dependent on things as commonplace as a rising tone of voice, an apparently meaningless word, or a glance-signals so small that we hardly pay them any conscious attention. Nevertheless, they are the essence of how we speak. From thetraffic signals of speech to the importance of um, How We Talk revolutionizes our understanding of conversation. In the process, Enfield reveals what makes language universally-and uniquely-human"--
