I thought it important to put this before the introduction.Dated 27th Jan 2012. 2 Peter 3:8, which states that "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

As often as we use our senses, we rarely stop to think about their place in history. But perception is not dependent on the body alone. Carolyn Purnell persuasively shows that, while our bodies may not change dramatically, the way we think about the senses and put them to use has been rather different over the ages. Journeying through the past 300 years, Purnell explores how people used their senses in ways that might shock us now.

La vida de un científico eminente durante la Revolución Científica y la subsiguiente Ilustración no era fácil. En nombre de la Iglesia católica, fueron asesinadas personas con ambiciones debido a sus trabajos científicos y filosóficos, que a menudo eran considerados como heréticos. Con el paso del tiempo, sin embargo, las verdades de la investigación y la exploración científica se han mostrado una y otra vez, y el punto de vista colectivo de la población comenzó a alejarse del dogma religioso para aproximarse hacia el método científico lógico.

"When a man enters a dark room he is not sure of his movements, he cannot see objects around him, or properly locate them, and is liable to hurt himself by coming into sudden contact with them. But let a light be introduced, and immediately all confusion disappears.... To the majority, life is such a dark room, and their frequent hurts...are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes...." (from the foreword by James Allen)

An unflinching and luminous memoir that explores a father’s philosophical transformation when he must reconsider the questions what makes us human? and whose life is worth living? Before becoming a father, Chris Gabbard was a fast-track academic finishing his doctoral dissertation at Stanford.

Like climbing Mount Everest, this book requires courage and a willingness to explore new perspectives. But the view from the summit—connecting listeners who seek profound insights—is worth the effort! About 2500 years ago, Gautama Buddha lived and walked this earth for 45 years after his awakening. Many people took notes through great aural traditions, and in three baskets or huge gatherings, the teaching was codified in a few Sacred Sutras. One of the oldest was a fragmented work containing the secrets of Yogachara. Eventually, it led to Chan and Zen.

So, why a reprint of a book over 135 years old when there are so many reprints and new editions of the text? Excellent question and one I will endeavor to answer here.

Walter.
