This book is devoted to the issue of how we can learn to live together in the face of division and conflict. It is dedicated to the life and work of a remarkable human being, Dr Epimenidis Haidemenakis, scientist, statesman, visionary leader, President Emeritus of the International S.T.E.P.S. Foundation and founding father of The Olympiads of the Mind (OM). The monograph consists of a collection of papers presented at the 8th and 9th Olympiads of the Mind held in Washington, DC and Chania, Crete respectively. Distinguished international scholars, government and corporate representatives, leading researchers and academics from multiple disciplines and Nobel Laureates Leon Lederman (Physics, 1988), Martin Perl (Physics, 1995) and Yuan T. Lee (Chemistry, 1986) address a broad range of issues all with the aim of improving the human condition and achieving cooperation among the people of the world. The topics include the environment, sustainability and security; diversity and how to achieve integration and peace among people in a fractured world; the important role of brain research; how to overcome poverty and inequality; how to enhance creativity and improve education at all levels; and how new technologies and tools can be used for common benefit. The culmination of the book is a call to action, to join what one might call the "OM Movement"-bringing the best minds in the world together to create solutions to world issues so that we can all live together in harmony.

This book brings together scientists from all over the world who have defined and developed the field of Coordination Dynamics. Grounded in the concepts of self-organization and the tools of nonlinear dynamics, appropriately extended to handle informational aspects of living things, Coordination Dynamics aims to understand the coordinated functioning of a variety of different systems at multiple levels of description. The book addresses the themes of Coordination Dynamics and Dynamic Patterns in the context of the following topics: Coordination of Brain and Behavior, Perception-Action Coupling, Control, Posture, Learning, Intention, Attention, and Cognition.

First published in 1982. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

What Vital Choices Can We Personally Apply to Kingdom Living Principles Right Now in Our Daily Lives? Many people have a general concept about the kingdom of God but do not really know how to relate kingdom living to their lives in the 21st century. After thirty-eight years in ministry, Pastor Scott Kelso knows what works and what doesn't. In Let's See What Sticks, he presents the inside track on how you can personally identify and apply the transformational kingdom principles in your life to improve your Christian walk. He answers the common dilemma asked by most modern Christians: "Where do I fit in and how can I use my particular resources most effectively?" In Let's See What Sticks, Pastor Scott unpacks biblical principles and pastoral philosophies from the congested, unengaged dogma clogging our churches as "everyone's opinions." He truly believes that a kingdom-centered church will go a long way to bring our country back from the brink to its original, God-given status. He clearly defines: - Five Conditions for Successful Prayer: contrition, whole-heartedness, faith, righteousness, and importunity - Five C's of Marriage-Maturity Traits: commitment, character, courage to change, challenge, and consideration - Five Beauty Marks of the Church: passion, joy, transparency, grace, and love - Four T's of Shepherding: telling, tending, teaching, and training - Five Conditions of a Church in End-Times: evangelism, real vs. counterfeit faith, signs and wonders, encouragement, and loyalty to others. The chapters are well-documented and provide excellent guidelines for pastors engaging their congregations in forward-thinking study groups, as our churches attempt to penetrate our communities for Christ. Additionally, several God-inspired, prophetic conclusions are provided by Pastor Scott. Let's See What Sticks is an "in season" message for the body of Christ, giving the church opportunity to stand up and be "salt and light" in America once again.
