In our deluge of information, it's getting harder and harder to distinguish the revelatory from the contradictory. How do we make health decisions in the face of conflicting medical advice? How can we navigate the next uncomfortable discussion with family members, who follow completely different experts on climate? In Third Millennium Thinking , a physicist, a psychologist, and a philosopher introduce readers to the tools and frameworks that scientists use to keep from fooling themselves, to understand the world, and to make decisions. We can all borrow from these trust-building techniques that scientists have tested and developed for more than two millennia to tackle problems both big and small. Readers will learn:
Through engaging thought exercises, clear language free from technical jargon, and compelling illustrations drawn from history, everyday life, and insider stories of scientists, Third Millennium Thinking presents a fresh approach for readers to untangle the confusing and make sense of it all.

This volume brings together essays - three of them previously unpublished - on the epistemology, ethics, and politics of memory by the late feminist philosopher Sue Campbell. The essays in Part I diagnose contemporary skepticism about personal memory, and develop an account of good remembering that is better suited to contemporary (reconstructive) theories of memory. Campbell argues that being faithful to the past requires both accuracy and integrity, and is both an epistemic and an ethical achievement. The essays in Part II focus on the activities and practices through which we explore and negotiate the shared significance of our different recollections of the past, and the importance of sharing memory for constituting our identities. Views about self, identity, relation, and responsibility (all influenced by traditions in feminist philosophy) are examined through the lens of Campbell's relational conception of memory. She argues that remaining faithful to our past sometimes requires us to re-negotiate the boundaries between ourselves and the collectives to which we belong. In Part III, Campbell uses her relational theory of memory to address the challenges of sharing memory and renewing selves in contexts that are fractured by moral and political difference, especially those arising from a history of injustice and oppression. She engages in detail Canada's Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission, where survivor memories have the potential to illuminate the significance of the past for a shared future. The study of memory brings together philosophers, psychologists, historians, anthropologists, legal theorists, and political theorists and activists. Sue Campbell demonstrates a singular ability to put these many different areas of scholarship and activism into fruitful conversation with each other while also adding an original and powerful voice to the discussion.

Throughout the history of Christianity, there have been theological
disputes that caused fissures among the faithful. There were the
major ruptures of the Great Schism of 1054 and the Protestant
Reformation. Since the Reformation, though, there has been an
eruption of new denominations. The World Christian Database now
list over 9000 worldwide. And new denominations are created every
day, often when a group splits off from an established church
because of a dispute over doctrine or leadership. With such a
proliferation of denominations, could there possibly be one core
Christian message that all churches share?

When A.A. Milne and E.H Shepard first came together in 1923 to create the world of Winnie-the-Pooh and his companions in the Hundred Acre Wood, no one could have foreseen the impact this unique collaboration was going to have on children’s literature and, indeed, children, all over the world. Now, one hundred years on, the characters they created are still as cherished as they ever were. Millions of books in fifty different languages have been sold around the world; films have been huge global box-office successes; merchandise from pyjamas to placemats – all have contributed to keep Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in our hearts and minds. But what of the two men who created these iconic characters? How did they come to collaborate and what were the secrets of their successful partnership? In this beautiful full-colour volume, author James Campbell brings to life these two remarkable men, their professional and personal relationships, complex families, strengths and weaknesses. From working together at Punch magazine in the early 1920s and co-creating the four iconic Winnie-the-Pooh titles – When We Were Very Young (1924), Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), Now We Are Six (1927) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928) – through the success of the books and their reception both at home and abroad, their wartime experiences, other collaborations (most notably on Shepard’s renowned illustrations for and Milne’s dramatization of Kenneth Graham’s The Wind in the Willows into Toad of Toad Hall) and their legacies which continue to this day. Illustrated with excerpts from original manuscripts and drawings, previously unseen draft illustrations, photographs, documents, ephemera and more, this timely book looks back on their lives and work, from the first sketches to the illustrations we know and love and on to the characters’ later incarnations at Disney for new generations.
