In this illuminating exploration of one of the great mysteries of the human mind, University of Chicago psychologist Nicholas Epley introduces us to what scientists have learned about our ability to understand the most complicated puzzle on the planet — other people — and the surprising mistakes we so routinely make. Why do we so often believe that others think, feel, and want what we do when, in fact, they do not? And why do we believe we understand our spouses, family, and friends so much better than we actually do? Mindwise (Knopf) will not turn other people into open books, but it will give you the wisdom to revolutionize how you think about them — and yourself.

When Bea "Elsa" Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, tells Milton and Marlo Fauster they've gotten too big for their britches, she sends them to Precocia, the circle of Heck for smartypants kids who grow up too fast. There, the children learn adult jobs. William the Kid teaches bill collection. Mozart teaches commercial jingles. And all the students are forced to act, dress, and talk like little adults. Soon, the Fausters realize that Precocia's vice principals Napoleon and Cleopatra want more than to hasten adulthood — they seem to want to eliminate childhood altogether. Can Milton and Marlo figure out their plan in time to stop it? Precocia: The Sixth Circle of Heck (Random House) is Dale Basye's latest hilarious escapade into the nine circles of Heck.
02.28: Mothering from Your Center
2013-01-15 02:38:00| Powells Books Events Calendar
Building on her insightful first book, Wild Feminine, Tami Lynn Kent's Mothering from Your Center: Tapping Your Body's Natural Energy for Pregnancy, Birth, and Parenting (Beyond Words) addresses the energetic, physical, and healing power within the pelvic bowl that can sustain women through conception, pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Women will find tools for using this creative energy to build new mothering patterns, work with the energy bond between mother and child, enhance daily access to joy, create balance between work and home, and facilitate the notion of mother as creative visionary. With clear, compassionate language, Kent helps women heal physically and emotionally while learning to access their full creative potential as an individual and a mother.
