Agar Al-Quran Menjadi Teman

Al-Quran benar-benar akan menumbuhkan iman di hati betapapun kerasnya hati itu dan membuatnya dahaga akan cinta kepada Allah; rasa yang mengalahkan cinta dan takut kepada siapa dan apa pun selain-Nya. Al-Quran adalah ruh dan sumber tenaga hati. Siapa yang kehilangan Al-Quran, ia kehilangan peluang besar untuk hidup secara hakiki, kehilangan kesempatan menikmati kebahagiaan, keridaan, dan surga dunia. Al-Quran bukan lembaran teori. Ia tidak akan mewujud dalam kenyataan jika kita tidak bersungguh-sungguh memetik manfaatnya. " Disertai kisah, pengalaman, dan pesan para ulama klasik dan kontemporer, buku ini hadir menemani para pencinta Al-Quran untuk membaca Kitab Suci secara substantif: untuk mendapatkan petunjuk, obat jiwa, dan perubahan diri menjadi lebih baik, lebih berhasil, dan lebih bahagia.Diterbitkan oleh penerbit Serambi Ilmu Semesta" (Serambi Group)

The Myth of the Born Criminal

Psychopathy, Neurobiology, and the Creation of the Modern Degenerate

By some estimates, there are as many as twelve million psychopaths in the United States alone. Cold-blooded, remorseless, and strangely charismatic, they commit at least half of all serious and violent crimes. Supposedly, most serial killers are psychopaths, as, surprisngly, are large numbers of corporate executives. They seem to be an inescapable, and fascinating, threat in our midst. But is psychopathy a brain disorder, as many scientists now claim? Or is it just a reflection of modern society's deepest fears? The Myth of the Born Criminal offers the first comprehensive critique of the concept of psychopathy from the eighteenth-century origins of the born-criminal theory to the latest neuroimaging, behavioural genetics, and statistical studies. Jarkko Jalava, Stephanie Griffiths, and Michael Maraun use their expertise in neuropsychology, psychometrics, and criminology to dispel the myth that psychopathy is a biologically-based condition. Deconstructing the emotive language with which both research scientists and reporters describe the psychopaths among us, they explain how the idea of psychopathy offers a comforting neurobiological solution to the mystery of evil. A stunning merger of rigorous science and clear-sighted cultural analysis, The Myth of the Born Criminal is for anyone who wonders just what truth - or fiction - lurks behind the study of psychopathy.

This raises an important point about the meaning of disease Rush is invoking
here. In Rush's formulation, anomia and micronomia were not merely diseases of
a particular mental faculty. They also implied how things should be; they implied

How to Build an Android

The True Story of Philip K. Dick's Robotic Resurrection

The stranger-than-fiction story of the ingenious creation and loss of an artificially intelligent android of science-fiction writer Philip K. Dick In late January 2006, a young robotocist on the way to Google headquarters lost an overnight bag on a flight somewhere between Dallas and Las Vegas. In it was a fully functional head of the android replica of Philip K. Dick, cult science-fiction writer and counterculture guru. It has never been recovered. In a story that echoes some of the most paranoid fantasies of a Dick novel, readers get a fascinating inside look at the scientists and technology that made this amazing android possible. The author, who was a fellow researcher at the University of Memphis Institute of Intelligent Systems while the android was being built, introduces readers to the cutting-edge technology in robotics, artificial intelligence, and sculpture that came together in this remarkable machine and captured the imagination of scientists, artists, and science-fiction fans alike. And there are great stories about Dick himself—his inspired yet deeply pessimistic worldview, his bizarre lifestyle, and his enduring creative legacy. In the tradition of popular science classics like Packing for Mars and The Disappearing Spoon, How to Build an Android is entertaining and informative—popular science at its best.

The studio people thought the title was not catchy enough, so they called it Blade

Extension du domaine de la manipulation

A la place de l’injonction « Enrichissez-vous ! » qui caractérise l’ère industrielle au dix-neuvième, le nouveau mot d’ordre de nos sociétés performantes mais soucieuses de l’apparence pourrait être : travaillez pour être vraiment heureux ! « Le leader d’aujourd’hui est tout d’abord celui qui réussit dans son travail... » Mais n’est-ce pas un mensonge ? Une injonction contradictoire qui demande une chose et son contraire : performance et épanouissement, engagement et flexibilité, employabilité et confiance, autonomie et conformité, volontarisme et souplesse. N’y aurait-il pas une perversité contemporaine, au cœur même de l’entreprise, à s’appuyer sur le couple bonheur et labeur ? Que signifie l’extension du domaine du management dans tous les domaines de la vie, y compris la vie privée (les coachs) ? N’est-ce pas la marque d’une nouvelle instrumentalisation. ? Qui sont les nouveaux leaders qu’on nous présente comme des héros ? Leur modèle est-il vraiment à suivre ? Jamais l’angoisse n’a été aussi forte dans le monde de l’économie, jusqu’aux suicides. Jamais la revalorisation du mot « travail » n’est ainsi revenu sur toutes les lèvres politiques. Michela Marzano, en philosophe mais aussi en polémiste, a fouillé la littérature du management, les bibles du développement personnel, scruté les coulisses du « coaching » et autres thérapeutes comportementalistes. Las ! Le résultat est édifiant.
