About Emotional Beauty and the Limits of Human Intelligence by Thomas L. Atwood

Human intelligence is all we need to be able to cure cancer, colonize Mars and establish peace and prosperity for all. But finding the motivation to cure cancer is hard for someone specializing in partying, watching sports or playing video games. So here we are, with our emotions battling our occasionally useful intelligence to prevent nuclear wars, snuff out deadly pandemics, and forestall potentially catastrophic climate change. With serious problems like these, isn’t it about time we took a close look at whether we humans are really up to these tasks? In Emotional Beauty and the Limits of Human Intelligence, Dr. Thomas Atwood takes a stimulating, fresh new look why we so often fail to act intelligently and what we might do about it.

Unsinkable: Cancer, Five Boats, and my 710-Kilometre Sea Swim

About Unsinkable: Cancer, Five Boats, and my 710-Kilometre Sea Swim

FROM THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR of MARATHON MAN

Kirkus Reviews (awarded Starred Review)
LoveReading (awarded Star Book)

UNSINKABLE is an inspirational, humorous, and heart-wrenching tale of persevering after facing life’s most difficult realities.

Weeks after a joy-filled footballing trip around France, joined by family and friends, Alan Corcoran learned his dad, Milo, had stage four cancer. Just days later, Milo died. Grief-stricken, twenty-five-year-old Alan decided to raise money for charity by attempting a 500-kilometre length-of-Ireland sea swim (fifteen times the distance of the English Channel) from the Giant’s Causeway on the north coast to County Waterford on the south coast.

Corcoran takes to the pool and prepares in solitude. Eight months later, he dives into the coldest deep end to begin his open-water swimming adventure.

Will he sink or swim…

Extracts From Noah’s Diary

About Extracts From Noah’s Diary

A century ago, a little known writer named Mark Twain wrote a silly novella called Extracts from Adam’s Diary. It imagined the recorded daily life of the first man. Two years later, Mr. Twain’s wife passed away, and he wrote a melancholy follow-up with Eve as the imagined diarist. Together, these stories were published as The Diaries of Adam & Eve.

A century later, a well known writer named Martin Bodek enjoyed the books, discovered that Twain left the concept for another to pick up where he left off, and decided to give it a try.

Yes, he’s that arrogant, he’s written a sequel for Mark Twain.
