How sound leaves a fundamental imprint on who we are.Making sense of sound is one of the hardest jobs we ask our brains to do. In Of Sound Mind, Nina Kraus examines the partnership of sound and brain, showing for the first time that the processing of sound drives many of the brain's core functions. Our hearing is always on--we can't close our ears the way we close our eyes--and yet we can ignore sounds that are unimportant. We don't just hear; we engage with sounds. Kraus explores what goes on in our brains when we hear a word--or a chord, or a meow, or a screech.Our hearing brain, Kraus tells us, is vast. It interacts with what we know, with our emotions, with how we think, with our movements, and with our other senses.

Kraus explores the power of music for healing as well as the destructive power of noise on the

本書是美籍華人崔干光牧師最新著作，全書以神學與科學的角度闡釋：「如果上帝創造了宇宙，那麼誰創造了上帝？」根據定義，上帝是宇宙的非受造物主，所以“誰創造了上帝？”這個問題是不合邏輯的，就像“單身漢嫁給了誰？” 因此，一個更老練的提問者可能會問：“如果宇宙需要一個原因，那麼為什麼上帝不需要一個原因呢？如果上帝不需要一個原因，為什麼宇宙需要一個原因呢？”作為回應，基督徒應該使用以下推理： 1. 凡是 有始的， 都有因緣。2. 宇宙有一個開端。3. 因此，宇宙是有原因的。因為根據定義，上帝是整個宇宙的創造者，他就是時間的創造者。 崔牧師在基督中心兼職牧師20年，在神恩福音宣教兼職牧師13年，在基督教新生命福音堂兼職牧師7年。目前，他是加州國際神學院的兼職教授。 他獲得了物理學學士學位、電機工程碩士學位、圖書館和資訊科學碩士學位以及神學博士學位。 他擔任工程師 20 年，擔任科學教師 15 年。 他還寫了另外兩本書：其中一本書的標題是“上帝是否使用進化來創造？” 這本書已經絕版了。 另一本書《挖掘自然主義的五個墳墓》，仍可在 Amazon.com 上找到。他主持創造科學講座。12 年來，他一直在撰寫有關《科學佈道》的 PowerPoint 演示文稿。這些可以在崔牧師的網站 https://azenterprises.us 上查看。願神得著一切榮耀！This is Pastor Christopher K.

From “one of the most soulful and perceptive writers of our time” (Brain Pickings): a journey through competing ideas of paradise to see how we can live more peacefully in an ever more divided and distracted world.“Nothing less than a guided tour of the human soul…A masterpiece.” ― #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert Paradise: that elusive place where the anxieties, struggles, and burdens of life fall away. Most of us dream of it, but each of us has very different ideas about where it is to be found. For some it can be enjoyed only after death; for others, it’s in our midst―or just across the ocean―if only we can find eyes to see it. Traveling from Iran to North Korea, from the Dalai Lama’s Himalayas to the ghostly temples of Japan, Pico Iyer brings together a lifetime of explorations to upend our ideas of utopia and ask how we might find peace in the midst of difficulty and suffering. Does religion lead us back to Eden or only into constant contention? Why do so man
