Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Comfort the Kid! is comprehensive description of infant sleep and the value of nocturnal parental interaction during the first year of life. Topics covered include a discussion of sleep from a biological, evolutionary, developmental, and cross-cultural perspective to bring to light the rationale governing infant and parental behavior and conflicts surrounding sleep. Comfort the Kid! strongly makes the case for comforting a crying infant ("Comfort the Kid") rather than letting the child cry until s/he falls asleep ("Cry It Out"). An extensive review of the medical literature is presented in an entertaining manner to demystify the struggle that frequently arises when a newborn is introduced into a family. The key audience is composed of expectant parents, new parents (who are looking for advice or struggling with their infant's sleep), and other interested parties, such as friends, and grandparents. The authors are physicians but have written the book in language intended to be accessible to an educated layperson. Comfort the Kid! explains why night awakening interactions with your infant are not drudgery, but rather wonderful and important opportunities that facilitate infant development and bonding.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Modern critics often dismiss belief in God as irrational-a comforting illusion lacking hard evidence. But what if the standard for "rational belief" is itself flawed? Challenged by figures like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins, John Bessis set out to scrutinize the foundations of his faith. His journey led to a striking conclusion: belief in God is rational-it works, even for everyday believers like his grandmother. Drawing on William James' pragmatism, Bessis argues that rationality is not a static standard but an adaptive fit between concept and context. In doing so, he shifts the focus from the form of truth to its mediating function-its power to marry inner life and outer reality. Truth happens to an idea when it gathers our scattered thoughts, feelings, and actions into an organic harmony with the surrounding world. Using this functionalist framework, Bessis shows how faith is justified by its pragmatic fruits. Belief in God is true not merely because it holds together logically, but because it holds us together. This book is for people who instinctively know that they shouldn't have to choose between their head and their heart; for sensitive logicians and logical poets who sense that deep feeling and deep thinking are inseparable. It's for seekers who want to believe but don't want to sacrifice their intellectual integrity to do so, and for pious souls who want to better articulate the reasons for their hope. This book bridges the mystical and the scientific, the practical and the philosophical, mind and spirit, by uncovering their underlying unity in our passional nature. This item is printed on demand.
