    Ten Zen Questions

    Ten Zen Questions

    Engelstalige hardcover met stofomslag, geen naam voorin, in zeer goede staat.

    Who are you? When are you? What were you conscious of a moment ago? This groundbreaking book sees acclaimed psychologist Susan Blackmore combining the latest scientific theories about mind, self, and consciousness, with a lifetime's practice of Zen. Alongside her research on consciousness and memes, Susan Blackmore has been practicing Zen for over twenty-five years; not as a Buddhist, but as a scientist who longs to understand the mind. Many neuroscientists and philosophers believe that we need first-person approaches as well as third-person scientific research in order to fully comprehend consciousness. In "Ten Zen Questions", she brings the two together for the first time. Seeking to understand whether personal experience can help penetrate the scientific mystery of consciousness, she uses traditional techniques of calming the mind and looking directly into experience as she delves into ten great questions, including 'How does thought arise?', 'Am I conscious now?', and the Zen koan There is no time. What is memory? Featuring the ten questions, a critical response from her Zen master, and lively illustrations, "Ten Zen Questions" offers a revolutionary way to try to understand who we are. This is not the kind of book that provides final - or easy - answers, but instead offers an inspiring exploration of how intellectual inquiry and meditation can tackle the questions behind some of today's greatest scientific mysteries.

    Making Sense of Japanese. What the Textbooks Don't Tell You

    Mooi ex. Engelstalige paperback met stofomslag. 

    Making Sense of Japanese is the fruit of one foolhardy American's thirty-year struggle to learn and teach the Language of the Infinite. Previously known as Gone Fishin', this book has brought Jay Rubin more feedback than any of his literary translations or scholarly tomes, "even if," he says, "you discount the hate mail from spin-casters and the stray gill-netter."

    To convey his conviction that "the Japanese language is not vague," Rubin has dared to explain how some of the most challenging Japanese grammatical forms work in terms of everyday English. Reached recently at a recuperative center in the hills north of Kyoto, Rubin declared, "I'm still pretty sure that Japanese is not vague. Or at least, it's not as vague as it used to be. Probably."

    The notorious "subjectless sentence" of Japanese comes under close scrutiny in Part One. A sentence can't be a sentence without a subject, so even in cases where the subject seems to be lost or hiding, the author provides the tools to help you find it. Some attention is paid as well to the rest of the sentence, known technically to grammarians as "the rest of the sentence."

    Part Two tackles a number of expressions that have baffled students of Japanese over the decades, and concludes with Rubin's patented technique of analyzing upside-down Japanese sentences right-side up, which, he claims, is "far more restful" than the traditional way, inside-out.

    "The scholar," according to the great Japanese novelist Soseki Natsume, is "one who specializes in making the comprehensible incomprehensible." Despite his best scholarly efforts, Rubin seems to have done just the opposite.

    Previously published in the Power Japanese series under the same title and originally as Gone Fishin' in the same series.

    Programming the Universe. A Quantum Computer Scientist Takes on the Cosmos

    Engelstalige paperback, mooi ex. nagenoeg als nieuw. 

    The Universe Is Made Of Bits. The Way In Which The Universe Registers And Processes Information Determines What It Is And How It Behaves. It Has Been Known For More Than A Century That Every Piece Of The Universe - Every Electron, Atom, And Molecule - Registers Bits Of Information. It Is Only In The Last Ten Years, However, With The Discovery And Development Of Quantum Computers, That Scientists Have Gained A Fundamental Understanding Of Just How That Information Is Registered And Processed. Seth Lloyd Calls This Fundamental Understanding Of The Universe In Terms Of Information Processing 'The Computational Universe', And The Purpose Of This Book Is To Show How The Programmed, Computational Universe Works. Starting From Basic Concepts Of Physics, Programming The Universe Shows How All Physical Systems Register Information. It Gives An Accessible Account Of How Information Is Stored And Processed At The Level Of Electrons, Atoms, And Molecules. It Shows How The Information Processing Power Of The Universe Can Be Harnessed To Build Quantum Computers And Explains How The Universe Itself Behaves Like A Gigantic Computer, Transforming And Processing Information. It Traces The History Of Information Processing From The Big Bang To The Present Day, And Reveals How The Computational Ability Of The Universe Promotes The Evolution Of Complex Structures Such As Life. Programming The Universe Is The Story Of The Universe And The Bits It Is Made Of.
