Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. In this sequel to The Scientist as Rebel (2006), Freeman Dyson%u2014whom The Times of London calls %u201Cone of the world%u2019s most original minds%u201D%u2014celebrates openness to unconventional ideas and %u201Cthe spirit of joyful dreaming%u201D in which he believes that science should be pursued. Throughout these essays, which range from the creation of the Royal Society in the seventeenth century to the scientific inquiries of the Romantic generation to recent books by Daniel Kahneman and Malcolm Gladwell, he seeks to %u201Cbreak down the barriers that separate science from other sources of human wisdom.%u201D Dyson discusses twentieth-century giants of physics such as Richard Feynman, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Paul Dirac, and Steven Weinberg, many of whom he knew personally, as well as Winston Churchill%u2019s pursuit of nuclear weapons for Britain and Wernher von Braun%u2019s pursuit of rockets for space travel. And he takes a provocative, often politically incorrect approach to some of today%u2019s most controversial scientific issues: global warming, the current calculations of which he thinks are probably wrong; the future of biotechnology, which he expects to dominate our lives in the next half-century as the tools to design new living creatures become available to everyone; and the flood of information in the digital age. Dyson offers fresh perspectives on the history, the philosophy, and the practice of scientific inquiry%u2014and even on the blunders, the wild guesses and wrong theories that are also part of our struggle to understand the wonders of the natural world.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Illustrated. In Mexicos Sierra Norte de Puebla, beliefs that were held before the coming of Europeans continue to guide the lives of modern Aztecs. For residents of San Martín Zinacapan, life in and on the earth is animated by the same forces, through which people seek to maintain a cohesive view of the relationship of mankind, the cosmos, and the natural world. This delicate balance of the human spirit maintains the health and well-being of villagers, and is an essential part of the social and ideological framework that makes a persons life whole.This book describes the basic elements of a belief system that has survived the onslaught of Catholicism, colonialism, and the modern world. Timothy Knab has spent thirty years working in this area of Mexico, learning of the Most Holy Earth and following what its people there call "the good path." He was initiated as a dreamer, learned the prayers and techniques for curing maladies of the human soul, and from his long association with the Sanmartinos has constructed a thorough account of their beliefs and practices.Learning to recount dreams, forming a dreamtale, and "carrying it on ones back" to the waking world is the first part of the practitioners labor in curing. But dreamtales are shown to be more than parables in this world, for they embody the ethos and cosmovision that link Sanmartinos with their traditions and the Most Holy Earth. Building on this background, Knab describes how the open-ended interpretation of dreams is the practitioners primary instrument for restoring a clients soul to its proper equilibrium, thus providing a practical approach to finding and resolving everyday problems.Many anthropologists hold that such beliefs have long since disappeared into the nebulous past, but in San Martín they remain alive and well. The underworld of the ancestors, talocan or Tlalocan for the Aztecs, is still a vital part of everyday life for the people of the Sierra Norte de Puebla. The Dialogue of Earth and Sky is an important record of a culture that has maintained a precolumbian cosmovision for nearly 500 years, revealing that this system is as resonant today with the ethos of Mesoamerican peoples as it was for their ancestors.
