November 2013. New books in our library:

read and enjoy new stories and knowledge!

The Stuff of Thought. Steven Pinker Language as a Window into Human Nature. Steven Pinker uses language as a window into human nature: he analyses what words actually mean and how we use them, and shows what that can tell us about ourselves. He reveals how we use space and motion as metaphors for more abstract ideas, and uncovers the deeper structures of human thought, which have been shaped by evolutionary history. He also explores the emotional impact of language, from names to swear words.		Language, Truth and Logic. A.J. Ayer If you can't prove something, it is literally senseless - so argues Ayer in this irreverent and electrifying book. Statements are either true by definition (as in maths), or can be verified by direct experience. Ayer rejected metaphysical claims about god, the absolute, and objective values as completely nonsensical. Ayer was only 24 when he finished LANGUAGE, TRUTH & LOGIC, yet it shook the foundations of Anglo-American philosophy and made its author notorious.
Theory of Knowledge. Theory of Knowledge for the IB Diploma. The fundamental question in Theory of Knowledge is 'How do you know?' in exploring this question, the author encourages critical thinking across a range of subject areas and helps students to ask relevant questions, use language with precision, support ideas with evidence, argue coherently and make sound judgements.	A Wizard of Earthsea. U.Le Guin This is a tale of wizards, dragons and terrifying shadows. The young wizard Sparrowhawk, tempted by pride to try spells beyond his powers, lets loose an evil shadow-beast in the land. Only he can destroy it, and this quest leads him to the farthest corner of Earthsea.	Whatever You Think... Whatever You Think, Think The Opposite. Paul Arden. The book is essentially about being comfortable with making decisions and mostly bad decisions and learn how to live life with the fact that taking risk is the best security you will ever get.
The Blank Slate. Steven Pinker In a work of outstanding clarity and sheer brilliance Steven Pinker banishes forever fears that a biological understanding of human nature threatens humane values.	Mansfield Park. Jane Austen Fanny Price has always felt like an outsider. She was adopted by her uncle as a child and now lives in luxury at Mansfield Park, but doesn't fit in somehow. Shyer and much sweeter than the glamorous cousins she has grown up with, she feels she can only stand by and watch from the sidelines, never living her own life. Fanny won't admit – even to herself – who she really loves.	Troublesome Words. Bill Bryson What is the difference between mean and median, blatant and flagrant, flout and flaunt? Is it whodunnit or whodunit? Do you know? Are you sure? With Troublesome Words, journalist and bestselling travel-writer Bill Bryson gives us a clear, concise and entertaining guide to the problems of English usage and spelling that has been an indispensable companion to those who work with the written word for over twenty years.
The Language Instinct. Steven Pinker If you're a scientist, then look at Stephen Pinker's The Language Instinct. Pinker is very readable, makes biology seem easy and has controversial views on the evolution of language and the causes of language disorders.	Bridge to Terabithia. K.Paterson It was Leslie who invented Terabithia - the secret country on an island in the dry creek. Here Jess could be strong, unafraid and unbeatable. When something terrible happens, Jess finds he can face grief and disaster better than he could ever have imagined.	The Power of Thinking... Blink The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. Malcolm Gladwell. As Gladwell says "This book is all about those moments when we 'know' something without knowing why".
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Alexander Solzhenitsyn. This story relates the struggle of men to survive both the terrible rigours of nature and the inhumanity of the system that defines their conditions of life. It is a glimpse of the fate of millions of Russians under Stalin, which shocked the world when it first appeared.	The Death of Ivan Ilyich. The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories. Leo Tolstoy. At the age of forty-one, Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) underwent a profound spiritual crisis, from which he emerged believing that he had encountered Death itself. These seven compelling stories explore, in different ways, his subsequent preoccupation with mortality. 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' is a devastating account of a man fighting his inevitable end, and asks the existential question: why must a good person be taken before his time?	Mother Tongue. Mother Tongue: The Story of the English Language. Bill Bryson ‘More than 300 million people in the world speak English and the rest, it sometimes seems, try to…’Only Bill Bryson could make a book about the English language so entertaining. With his boundless enthusiasm and restless eye for the absurd, this is his astonishing tour of English.
The Chocolate War... ...and Beyond the Chocolate War. Robert Cormier. New boy Jerry renault refuses to sell chocolates for Trinity School's annual fundraiser. This small act of defiance starts a chain reaction, exposing the corruption running through the school and starting an all-out war with the Vigils, the school's secret society. There is only one solution - but who will survive?	Gödel, Escher, Bach. Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. Douglas R. Hofstadter. By looking at the brilliant minds of mathematician Kurt Godel, graphic artist M. C. Escher, and composer Johann Sebastian Bach, computer-science and cognitive-science professor Douglas Hofstadter ties together the aesthetic gift of pattern recognition and manipulation with theories on artificial intelligence, human intelligence, and the essence of self-awareness.	The secret diary of Adrian Mole. Sue Townsend. Teenager Adrian writes candidly about his parents' marital troubles, the dog, his life as a tortured poet and 'misunderstood intellectual'. His painfully honest diary makes hilarious and compelling reading.
How the Mind Works. Steven Pinker. The Pulitzer Prize finalist and national bestseller How the Mind Works is a fascinating, provocative work exploring the mysteries of human thought and behavior. How do we see in three dimensions? How do we remember names and faces? How is it, indeed, that we ponder the nature of our own consciousness? Why do we fall in love? In this bold, extraordinary book, Pinker synthesizes the best of cognitive science and evolutionary biology to explain what the mind is and how it works.	Portrait of the Artist... Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man. Joyce James. The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'.	The Outsiders. S. E. Hinton. Hinton was only seventeen when The Outsiders was first published in the USA. She grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the story takes place, and lived in a borderline neighbourhood mixing with both greasers and socs. This experience helped her to understand the boys about whom she writes.
