<p>Seven Ways of Knowing is an examination of what we mean when we say we know something, and the extent and sureness of this knowledge. It starts with an analysis of our perception of material objects, the role of evolution, and the nature of space and time. A non-mathematical description of relativity and quantum theory is given in the opening chapters (with a more technical treatment in two appendices). Abstract knowledge, knowledge derived from reading and the media (second hand knowledge), and how we know other persons are the subjects of the next three chapters. These are followed by a chapter on how objectively we can distinguish good and evil and then an appraisal of whether there can be a rational belief in any religion. The book ends with a theory of perception, which offers the possibility of a coherent understanding of all the topics: it is compulsive and entirely original.</p>

<p>Failure can be a great teacher if you are willing to listen and learn its lessons. In Common Sense Is Not That Common, David Kottler offers a very frank and personal look into the ups and downs of business, offering entrepreneurs and business professionals insight into what it takes to overcome challenges and succeed. David shares 11 key principles he learned during his business career, including those gleaned during years of working alongside his father in the family's food distribution business. It's been said that a smart man learns from his mistakes while a wise man learns from the mistakes of others. In this vein, David offers readers a look at how to turn failure into opportunity. With charm, devotion, and a touch of wit, David credits his late father, whose voice echoes throughout the book, for teaching him the most important guiding principles for living one's life.</p>
