Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The best book about America's first modern secret service. --Washington Post Book World In the months before World War I, FDR prepared the country for conflict with Germany and Japan by reshuffling various government agencies to create the Office of Strategic Services--America's first intelligence agency and the direct precursor to the CIA. When he charged William (Wild Bill) Donovan, a successful Wall Street lawyer and Wilkie Republican, to head up the office, the stage was set for some of the most fantastic and fascinating operations the U.S. government has ever conducted. Author Richard Harris Smith, himself an ex-CIA hand, documents the controversial agency from its conception as a spin-off of the Office of the Coordinator for Information to its demise under Harry Truman and reconfiguration as the CIA. During his tenure, Donovan oversaw a chaotic cast of some ten thousand agents drawn from the most conservative financial scions to the country's most idealistic New Deal true believers. Together they usurped the roles of government agencies both foreign and domestic, concocted unbelievably complicated conspiracies, and fought the good fight against the Axis powers of Germany and Japan. For example, when OS operatives stole vital military codebooks from the Japanese embassy in Portugal, the operation was considered a success. But the success turned into a flop as the Japanese discovered what had happened, and hastily changed a code that had already been decrypted by the U.S. Navy. Colorful personalities and truly priceless anecdotes abound in what may be called the most authoritative work on the subject.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Doubt, fear, self-loathing, and detachment from a spiritual life are symptoms of an injured spirit. The chaos of our daily lives often keeps us from healing those symptoms, developing healthy relationships, and learning to maximize our Sacred Intelligence. Through Sacred Intelligence: The Essence of Sacred, Selfish, and Shared Relationships, Dr. Terrlyn Curry Avery describes how healing must begin with a loving relationship with the Sacred and with ourselves before we can have loving relationships with others. Using a three-fold understanding of the sacred, selfish, and shared relationships we all encounter, Dr. Curry Avery illustrates how we can access and use our Sacred Intelligence to create and maintain healthier relationships. Sacred Intelligence clearly outlines an approach to spiritual healing, with guidelines for personal meditation, reflection questions, and space for self-evaluation. True, modern-day stories of sacrifice, awareness, and hope begin each section. Each chapter offers a sacred passage to help elevate understanding about the importance of each person's journey. Dr. Curry Avery's passion behind Sacred Intelligence is fueled by the belief that 'relating' on both a spiritual and human level is crucial to the direction of our lives and allows us to live out our full potential. Sacred Intelligence is a balm that any reader can apply to his or her spirit. The prognosis is healing, understanding, and peace.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Although numerous books and articles have recently talked about the gut instincts as valuable in giving us useful hunches in the decision-making process, What's Behind Your Belly Button? goes much further and explains how gut feelings not only have a psychological intelligence of their own, but are also understandably rational in their functioning. The authors explore how gut feelings are like a gas gauge in our guts indicating through an emotional feeling of emptiness or fullness how well the two instinctive human needs for acceptance (attention from others) and of control of one's own responses (freedom) in our lives are being met and how our behavior attempts to keep these two instinctive needs in balance at all times. They explore how these two instinctive needs motivate nearly all our behaviors all through our lives and that the feeling memory of how well these needs are met from moment-to-moment may be accessed through somatic awareness of our gut feelings of empty and full by using the Somatic Reflection Process the authors have developed. What's Behind Your Belly Button? explains exactly what your gut feelings are capable of telling you about your inner instinctive needs, how to listen to the voice of your gut, and how to use both of your brains-head and gut-to work together for your optimal health and well-being. This book is recommended for anyone looking for a hopeful view of humankind and a method for getting in touch with gut instincts to reduce stress, cope with fear and anxiety, deal with health issues and make efforts to stay healthy, and to increase optimal problem-solving and life decision-making abilities. In 1998, neurological research at Columbia University published the work of Dr. Michael Gershon that identified the enteric nervous system as a center of feeling-intelligence in the gut, which he called the Second Brain. The authors carefully examined this material and accepted the research findings as pointing to the same universal feeling intelligence they experienced in counseling with hundreds of people. Utilizing the research of Dr. Gershon, the work of Dr. Lise Eliot who charts the development of children from conception through the first five years of life, recent research of their own in the Psychology Department at Sonoma State University, and their vast clinical experience, the authors have presented an interpretation of recent medical research into a Gut Psychology and a more accurate behavioral understanding of the Self and human nature than has previously been available. They share a complete protocol and results of clinical research findings for the Somatic Reflection Process that they have created and used successfully, with themselves and hundreds of people, to assist the process of getting in touch with the voice of the gut and learning to follow its wisdom toward a healthy life-unifying the body-mind split in the individuation process. The authors suggest that we are at the beginning of a Renaissance in human consciousness and that understanding our true human nature is the way to thrive in this present era. The authors suggest that early in a child's learning process, care be taken to offer the experience of freedom and acceptance to the child to form a positive self-concept and to self-regulate his and her behavior as part of the learning process in becoming a loving, caring person. After careful examination of life's processes, they conclude that of all the mammals in the animal kingdom, humans seem to be the only species that has been denied the open use of their natural instincts. Out of ignorance, fear or wanton control by others-we are denied the use of the brains we were born with. This awareness is of growing concern since the absence of the use of the feeling intelligence of the body interferes with a major stabilizing force-built into the human system-that can affect human behavior, provide a sense of well-being, and the ability of the body to combat disease.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. From the Editors: This issue of EIR begins our coverage of the Oct. 18-19 conference of the Schiller Institute in Frankfurt, Germany, a conference which epitomized the spirit of optimism and determination to rid the world of geopolitics, which has been sweeping the world with the BRICS de-velopments, beginning Summer 2014 (Feature). The scope of the first panel, which was devoted to the New Silk Road, gives you the idea of this conference's importance, which was also underscored by the high-level participation of several of the nations in that project-especially China, India, and Iran. The role of Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Institute, has been crucial in bringing these forces together, and her contribution to promoting the New Silk Road was acknowledged by a number of the speakers. The Russian contribution, which congratulated both Lyndon and Helga LaRouche on their work, came in the form of a greeting by Mikhail Titarenko, director of the Institute of Far East Studies, of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which we published in our last issue. Prof. Shi Ze, of the China Institute of International Studies in Beijing, Dr. Fatemeh Hashemi Rafsanjani, president of the Women's Solidarity Association of Iran, and Jayshree Sengupta, senior fellow of the Observer Research Foundation of India, were joined by Dr. Natalia Vitrenko, economist of Ukraine, and Ali Rastbeen, founder and president of the Paris Academy of Geopolitics.The challenge and intent of this event, as conceived by Mrs. LaRouche, were reflected in the concluding Resolution (see last week's issue): We call on all forces of reason in Europe and the United States, to join the emerging new economic order of the BRICS and the New Silk Road, and establish an inclusive peace order for all mankind. Our news coverage is limited to a few crucial developments. First, in Economics, the formal agreement by 21 Asian nations to form the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), and the inauguration of one of the major infrastructure projects underway on the planet-the central route of the Chinese North-South Water Transfer Project. These breakthroughs reflect the dynamic that London and Wall Street want to kill-starting with the news of their achievement. On the Empire side, we focus on the threats of the ISIS jihadists (International) and the Ebola epidemic (National)-but not as bystanders. Our coverage features what needs to be done to stop these horrors. Don't miss the War Plan against Ebola, which is literally a life-or-death matter for all mankind.…

How to educate the next generation of college students to invent, to create, and to discover--filling needs that even the most sophisticated robot cannot.Driverless cars are hitting the road, powered by artificial intelligence. Robots can climb stairs, open doors, win Jeopardy, analyze stocks, work in factories, find parking spaces, advise oncologists. In the past, automation was considered a threat to low-skilled labor. Now, many high-skilled functions, including interpreting medical images, doing legal research, and analyzing data, are within the skill sets of machines. How can higher education prepare students for their professional lives when professions themselves are disappearing? In Robot-Proof, Northeastern University president Joseph Aoun proposes a way to educate the next generation of college students to invent, to create, and to discover--to fill needs in society that even the most sophisticated artificial intelligence agent cannot.A robot-proof education, Aoun argues, is not concerned solely with topping up students' minds with high-octane facts. Rather, it calibrates them with a creative mindset and the mental elasticity to invent, discover, or create something valuable to society--a scientific proof, a hip-hop recording, a web comic, a cure for cancer. Aoun lays out the framework for a new discipline, humanics, which builds on our innate strengths and prepares students to compete in a labor market in which smart machines work alongside human professionals. The new literacies of Aoun's humanics are data literacy, technological literacy, and human literacy. Students will need data literacy to manage the flow of big data, and technological literacy to know how their machines work, but human literacy--the humanities, communication, and design--to function as a human being. Life-long learning opportunities will support their ability to adapt to change.The only certainty about the future is change. Higher education based on the new literacies of humanics can equip students for living and working through change.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. This funny, "extraordinary and thought-provoking" (The Wall Street Journal) book asks whether we are in fact the superior species. As it turns out, the truth is stranger--and far more interesting--than we have been led to believe. If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal overturns everything we thought we knew about human intelligence, and asks the question: would humans be better off as narwhals? Or some other, less brainy species? There's a good argument to be made that humans might be a less successful animal species precisely because of our amazing, complex intelligence.   All our unique gifts like language, math, and science do not make us happier or more "successful" (evolutionarily speaking) than other species. Our intelligence allowed us to split the atom, but we've harnessed that knowledge to make machines of war. We are uniquely susceptible to bullshit (though, cuttlefish may be the best liars in the animal kingdom); our bizarre obsession with lawns has contributed to the growing threat of climate change; we are sexually diverse like many species yet stand apart as homophobic; and discriminate among our own as if its natural, which it certainly is not. Is our intelligence more of a curse than a gift?     As scientist Justin Gregg persuasively argues, there's an evolutionary reason why human intelligence isn't more prevalent in the animal kingdom. Simply put, non-human animals don't need it to be successful. And, miraculously, their success arrives without the added baggage of destroying themselves and the planet in the process.  In seven mind-bending and hilarious chapters, Gregg highlights one feature seemingly unique to humans--our use of language, our rationality, our moral systems, our so-called sophisticated consciousness--and compares it to our animal brethren. Along the way, remarkable tales of animal smarts emerge, as you'll discover:  "A dazzling, delightful read on what animal cognition can teach us about our own mental shortcomings." --Adam Grant    The house cat who's better at picking winning stocks than actual fund managers     Elephants who love to drink    Pigeons who are better than radiologists at spotting cancerous tissue    Bumblebees who are geniuses at teaching each other soccer What emerges is both demystifying and remarkable, and will change how you look at animals, humans, and the meaning of life itself.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Cutting through the hype, a practical guide to using artificial intelligence for business benefits and competitive advantage. In The AI Advantage, Thomas Davenport offers a guide to using artificial intelligence in business. He describes what technologies are available and how companies can use them for business benefits and competitive advantage. He cuts through the hype of the AI craze-remember when it seemed plausible that IBM's Watson could cure cancer?-to explain how businesses can put artificial intelligence to work now, in the real world. His key recommendation: don't go for the "moonshot" (curing cancer, or synthesizing all investment knowledge); look for the "low-hanging fruit" to make your company more efficient. Davenport explains that the business value AI offers is solid rather than sexy or splashy. AI will improve products and processes and make decisions better informed-important but largely invisible tasks. AI technologies won't replace human workers but augment their capabilities, with smart machines to work alongside smart people. AI can automate structured and repetitive work; provide extensive analysis of data through machine learning ("analytics on steroids"), and engage with customers and employees via chatbots and intelligent agents. Companies should experiment with these technologies and develop their own expertise. Davenport describes the major AI technologies and explains how they are being used, reports on the AI work done by large commercial enterprises like Amazon and Google, and outlines strategies and steps to becoming a cognitive corporation. This book provides an invaluable guide to the real-world future of business AI. A book in the Management on the Cutting Edge series, published in cooperation with MIT Sloan Management Review.…
