With all the extremes the world is experiencing, this book could not be more pertinent, on a personal and global level!Gregg Braden does not disappoint with his newest book 'HUMAN BY DESIGN'! All of the scientifically backed information helps us to understand the truth regarding the incredible and amazing beings we really are. I feel this book is vital in our process of honoring ourselves an eachother.

First of all, I want to say that Gregg Braden's book "Human by Design" was well-written and well-researched, and it was an enjoyable read. However, his conclusion that human beings are a singular species is simply untenable. There certainly are gaps and flaws in orthodox Darwinism, as the originator of the theory of natural selection freely admits. However, it is abundantly clear from the archeological record that primitive species die out and are replaced by more advanced species over time. There are two possibilities: 1) Primitive species evolve into more advanced species through a steady process of genetic mutation (with natural selection choosing winners over losers), or 2) advanced species simply pop into existence. It is apparent that Mr. Braden believes that fully modern humans simply popped into existence approximately 200,000 years ago as a result of two "chimpanzee chromosomes" fusing into a single "human chromosome 2." In other words, the human species does NOT belong to the tree of life, but is specially-created standalone species that was intelligently designed.Now it turns out that genetic mutations are occasionally accelerated for unknown reasons and significant changes sometimes occur over short periods of time, producing fossil gaps in the archeological record. However, the presence of gaps does not invalidate the conclusion that genetic mutation produces new species. All that is needed to produce a new species is to have one small population be separated from the main population and having to survive under stressful environmental conditions. It must be stressed that DNA is NOT a digital blueprint of a complete organism, but rather an instruction set on how to MAKE an organism utilizing highly-nonlinear processes and sophisticated feedback mechanisms that are not completely understood. Thus, making a simple modification to one gene can produce a drastic change to the entire organism. Modifying a particular gene belonging to a flying insect can produce an extra pair of wings (this has actually been demonstrated in the lab). If two sets of wings confers a survival advantage (or at least doesn't result in a dis-advantage) then the extra set of wings will appear in the offspring. Nobody "designed" the extra pair of wings..Getting back to the "Human by Design", the author proposes that separates humans from other apes is the sudden fusion of two "chimpanzee chromosomes." Well, let's see how that may have happened. First off, let's all agree that humans didn't evolve from chimpanzees, and propose instead that some other pre-human ape-like species existed which had 48 chromosomes. At some point in time, an egg from one of these creatures was fertilized having only 46 chromosomes. After 9 months or so, a fully-human baby popped out of her uterus. How could that singular human baby have survived and produced more 46-chromosome offspring? That scenario is completely untenable.There are two other possible ways of producing 46-chromosome humans without relying on evolution (mutation and natural selection):1) An advanced alien civilization came to Earth, looked around and saw a bunch of 48-chromosome apes living in Africa. So these aliens decided to take the genetic material from these apes and manufacture a 46-chromosome version in their genetics lab. Some readers may find this to be a plausible scenario, but I think it evades the question of how the advanced aliens who created us came about. Did another alien civilization create THEM? It seems like there must be aliens all the way down in order for this to play out.2) The other way an instantaneous act of human creation could have come about is found in the book of Genesis, where the raw material used to form the first humans wasn't "chimpanzee DNA" but just plain old dirt. Whenever there's a mystery that science cannot solve, it's awfully tempting to fall back to the argument that God (or some other super-intelligent and powerful being) did it.In conclusion, "Human by Design" does expose a mystery, but the conclusion that we're the product of intelligent design is simply untenable. There are a lot more losers than winners in the genetic lottery, just as there are a lot more losers than winners in any lottery. (It's an unfortunate fact that about 50% of fertilized human eggs fail to develop for natural reasons). Just like you only see pictures of lottery winners in newspapers and never the losers, the losers of the genetic lottery simply don't leave any traces in the fossil record. This makes it seem as if only purposeful mutations occur with a benevolent Intelligent Designer presiding over the process, but that simply ignores the fact that the vast majority of mutations that occur are defective and produce organisms that don't survive.Mr. Braden supports his conclusions with the thinnest of evidence. He reveals the astounding fact that homo sapiens sapiens did NOT evolve from homo neanderthalensis! No kidding. Science has known this for decades. "Modern" humans and neanderthals emerged from Africa at separate times, encountered each other in Europe and western Asia and occasionally interbred. We know that with the exception of east Asians, most humans carry neanderthal genes. And guess what? Neanderthals had 46 chromosomes just like us. Mr. Braden presents a diagram of human and pre-human fossils connected by dotted lines which are labeled with question marks, indicating that we have no idea which fossil emerged from which. The fact is that there were a number of pre-human species coexisting in Africa and elsewhere, which probably interbred and produced offspring that left a confusing array of fossils. So what? Look at the dog species. Dogs, wolves, dogs, dingos, and coyotes are considered separate "species" but they can in fact interbreed with each other (although they rarely do). The "tree of life" is more like a bush than a tree, producing a bewildering array of species and sub-species that makes it difficult to connect all the dots. The fact of the matter is that the modern human species is extremely genetically homogeneous as species go, making it seem as if we're somehow "special." But this was not always the case. Chimpanzees have far more genetic diversity between neighboring populations than humans do across the entire globe. But this is a result of the fact that humans almost went extinct -- twice -- resulting in a severe genetic bottleneck tracing back to the time of "mitochondrial Eve," one woman in that tiny group of survivors who gave each of us all of our mitochondrial DNA.I'm giving "Human by Design" five stars for readability and one star for scientific rigor, for an average of three stars.

Gregg Braden amazed me again.Eloquently interwoven science and spirituality makes an exciting reading time. When we thought we knew everything a new frontier opens right in front of our eyes.Thank you Gregg Braden for widening the path of knowledge and understanding.

Gregg Braden has done it again, this time with the book that pulls all of his previous books together. Whether you have read Spontaneous Healing of Belief, Deep Truth, Divine Matrix, or any of his other best-sellers, you'll find more of the classic Gregg Braden you love, plus all new research and case studies that explore Gregg's signature insights/questions into the nature of who we are, why we are here, and why we might be more than we can imagine. I started reading over the weekend and couldn't put it down. Highly recommend.

Excellent. Covers many different areas of human development. Not just one man's opinion but a collection of interesting discoveries from multiple and in many cases award winning Scientists. Gregg puts all the science together with explanations and proof that we are so much more than 'simple evolution' suggests. Why are we still teaching Darwin's' "theory of evolution" in our schools? (circa. 1859) Theory means unproven, yet has been taught for too many years as the only explanation for our existence. Maybe it's time to explore new scientific findings, such as, we are NOT descendants of apes, or Neanderthals.Gregg also covers many other interesting topics, such as how we can change our lifespan. It is a must read.Should be a text book in our schools!!

How many stars would I give this book? As many as is allowed! Gregg Braden has outdone even himself in clearly stating things that so need to be stated, and backed up by the latest findings in science. His delivery of the information is direct and concise,and I find the conclusions he draws to be "spot on"! A MUST READ for anyone serious about the "origin of species", and how that knowledge applies to our lives today.

I appreciate how Gregg clearly defines the scientific development of our contemporary understanding of humanity. how it has evolved over time as well as the new scientific discoveries that disprove the old theories. His personal perspectives and life experiences are an added bonus!. I have not completed the book and am now exploring the exercises he suggests in the later part of the book. I find them enlightening and helpful in my own personal development and healing. Thank you Gregg for sharing the depths of your research and your personal experiences with us!Take your time reading this book...there's a lot to take in!

I am a fan of Gregg Braden and this book was another hit. I appreciated the science throughout as I it helps the reader to put the information with current findings and content is not just based on author opinion. This book also felt empowering with its message...we are not victims of circumstance (include evolution) and are powerful beings and creators. My only criticism is that at times I felt he went a bit off topic trying to make too many points.

All the Lives We Ever Lived: Seeking Solace in Virginia Woolf, by Katharine Smyth

Review

Praise for All the Lives We Ever Lived: "[Smyth’s] prose is so fluid and clear throughout that it’s not surprising to observe her view of her family, its cracks and fissures, sharpen into unsparing focus... Her exploration of grown-up love, the kind that accounts for who the loved one actually is, not who you want him or her to be, gains power and grace as her story unfolds. I suspect her book could itself become solace for people navigating their way through the complexities of grief for their fallen idols. And they will be lucky to have it." — Radhika Jones, New York Times Book Review "This is a transcendent book, not a simple meditation on one woman’s loss, but a reflection on all of our losses, on loss itself, on how to remember and commemorate our dead." — Washington Post "Katharine Smyth pulls off a tricky double homage in her beautifully written first book, a deft blend of memoir, biography, and literary criticism that’s a gift to readers drawn to big questions about time, memory, mortality, love and grief... you'd be hard put to find a more moving appreciation of Woolf's work." — Heller McAlpin, Wall Street Journal "This searching memoir pays homage to To the Lighthouse, while recounting the author’s fraught relationship with her beloved father, a vibrant figure afflicted with alcoholism and cancer.... Smyth’s writing is evocative and incisive."  — The New Yorker "Like H Is for Hawk, Smyth’s book is a memoir that’s not quite a memoir, using Woolf, and her obsession with Woolf, as a springboard to tell the story of her father’s vivid life and sad demise due to alcoholism and cancer....an experiment in 21st-century introspection that feels rooted in a modernist tradition and bracingly fresh."  — Vogue "Blending analysis of a deeply literary novel with a personal story... gently entwining observations from Woolf's classic with her own layered experience. Smyth tells us of her love for her father, his profound alcoholism and the unpredictable course of the cancer that ultimately claimed his life." — TIME "Brilliant... Smyth’s beautiful debut is more tightly strung together than you’d imagine a memoir-cum-literary-requiem could be. It is innovative, like Woolf, in its power of association and its ability to transform the intangible nature of grief into a warm, graspable, fleshy mass." — Vulture "The affinity between Smyth and her subject is profound even on the sentence level. She writes in Woolfian rhythms. Her sentences cascade and linger over transcendent images... a consolation, a shelter and a community, an unending conversation about mortality and loss that creates unity from the fragmentation of life and death." — HuffPost "This gorgeous, moving book gracefully moves between memoir and literary criticism.... Smyth’s writing possesses a unique ability to wend its way into your head, traveling into all the darkest corners of your mind, triggering thoughts on love and loss and family and memory you hadn’t known were lurking; it’s a profound experience, reading this book—one not to be missed." — Nylon   "Smyth is an elegant writer and she explores her deep, complicated love for her father in lyrical yet restrained prose." — Literary Review (UK) “A conceptually ambitious and assured debut, successfully bridging memoir and literary criticism…. A work of incisive observation and analysis, exquisite writing, and an attempt to determine if there is 'any revelation that could lessen loss, that could help to make the fact of death okay.'” —Kirkus Reviews (starred) “All The Lives We Ever Lived is a lyrical memoir about Katharine Smyth's connection to Virginia Woolf's writing, and the power of literature in our darkest times.” —Bustle    “[Smyth] expertly dissects the finest gradations of emotion in any given scene… All the Lives We Ever Lived is a powerful book, driven by the engine of Smyth’s controlled, rich description. It’s an astonishingly clear-eyed portrait of a person through myriad lenses, a kind of prismatic attempt to capture a life.” — The Boston Globe   “A daughter coping with her father’s illness and death takes a deep dive into Virginia Woolf’s novel To the Lighthouse, looking for insight and comfort… Other writers have attempted similarly braided memoirs with mixed success. Katharine Smyth… has more than lived up to her premise, delivering a lyrical and thoughtful examination of character, place and grief.” — Providence Journal   “Smyth’s prose pulsates with intensity, and its lyrical qualities make [the book] a moving one. Grief and its disconcerting effects take center stage. ‘It’s writers like Woolf, their refusal to give in to popular ideas about bereavement, who have helped me to accept the nature of this misery,’ Smyth writes. With her first book, Smyth is able to give that comfort to a new generation of readers as well.” — BookPage   “All the Lives We Ever Lived [is] Katharine Smyth’s powerful memoir about her father’s death… What sets All the Lives apart from other memoirs about grief or alcoholism (and it has much to say about both topics) is that it is also a book about reading, the ways ‘the one book for every life’ can, in Smyth’s words, ‘reciprocate and even alter [our] experience’… There are many lovely moments when Smyth’s prose soars into poetry.” — Minneapolis Star Tribune“I loved All the Lives We Ever Lived: its structural inventiveness, its fluid and lyrically beautiful writing—some lines made me gasp—and its often astonishing wisdom. But above all, this is a smart, moving portrait of a family in crisis; Smyth weaves literary criticism and biography into nearly every page, but she never strays from the deepest concerns of the human heart.”—Jamie Quatro, author of Fire Sermon and I Want to Show You More“All the Lives We Ever Lived is a work of vivid intelligence—a sharp love letter to the reading and relationships that shape us, and an ingenious reply to the questions Woolf asked her readers to answer for themselves.”—Nell Stevens, author of Bleaker House and The Victorian and the Romantic“Modern American memoir doesn't get better—or more inventive—than this. By weaving the story of her father's death with a meditation on Virginia Woolf's great novel, Katharine Smyth has written a book that is both fiercely moving and full of bristling intelligence. All the Lives We Ever Lived isn't just a literary tour de force; it's an enlarging reminder of the evanescence of our lives. Smyth has twinned her sensibility with Woolf's to extraordinary effect. A wonderful debut.”—Darcy Frey, author of The Last Shot“A stunningly well-written, exquisitely intelligent and moving book, which deepens with each turn of the screw.”—Phillip Lopate, author of A Mother's Tale   “In her brilliant debut, Katharine Smyth has done the impossible—invented a new form for the overworked genre of memoir, weaving Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse into her personal story as she absorbs the meaning of her beloved father’s long illness and early death. Her prose is luxuriant and supple, but never sentimental, and her piercing insights into the dynamics of the nuclear family often profound.”—Michael Scammell, author of Koestler and Solzhenitsyn“In channeling her experience of loss through her lifelong reading of Virginia Woolf, Smyth upends the rules of a genre and delivers a book at once deeply intellectual and deeply felt, heartbreaking, funny, illuminating, and truly new.” —Lea Carpenter, author of Eleven Days and Red, White, Blue“Losing then finding herself in To the Lighthouse, Katharine Smyth bestows time travel between Virginia Woolf's memory and her own, reminding us that a book can open the heart.” —Honor Moore, author of The Bishop's Daughter“In this remarkable memoir of familial love, illness, and grief, Katharine Smyth seamlessly braids her story around that of her literary idol, Virginia Woolf, and around that writer's most enduring characters. All the Lives We Ever Lived is enlightening and absolutely original, with writing that is gentle, elegant, and true.”—Marcia DeSanctis, author of 100 Places in France Every Woman Should Go

All the Lives We Ever Lived is a difficult but rewarding book. One difficulty is it assumes a familiarity with Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse. I, like the author, love this book but it is not part of a standard American curricula. Another difficulty is its telling of the story of the passing of the author’s father. An unflinching look at death is, for better or for worse, rare in our culture. Finally, the book is not in the typical memoir genre. The author’s encounter with human mortality provides commentary on Woolf while Woolf helps her understand her own experiences. In other words, the book doesn’t engage in traditional literary criticism.It is, however, a unique account and perspective. The author writes so hauntingly of dying that I had to put the book down sometimes lest I fell into depression. The writing is at the same time so fluid, so beautiful in itself, that one wants to keep turning and turning the page.The questions the author deals with sound banal when not instantiated in real life. Why is nature so unfeeling? Does everything we love end in entropic nothingness? How do we best mourn our loved ones? Can secular humanity find any solace when confronted with death or is it merely one long bleak dance with winter?While both Woolf’s and the author’s experiences were harrowing, Smyth does find in Woolf some solace. She sees the unique striving for life embedded in the human heart as continuing, stripped of all individuality, from generation to generation. While memory fades and even the ephemera of our dwellings and belongings recede into not, that inchoate love of all things human does not die a second death but is passed on to our descendants. Banal in the recounting, one must read the book to get the full effect.I would recommend this book to everyone but the author’s choice of assuming basic knowledge of To the Lighthouse makes me think that only devotees of Woolf, or at least those familiar with her, will find the book as captivating as I did. Even so, maybe this book will persuade some non-devotees to read To the Lighthouse. Woolf’s heart beats on.

"All the Lives We Ever Lived" feels like a new kind of book—one that uses great art, Virginia Woolf's "To the Lighthouse," as a lens to view more clearly the author's own loss, and ends up becoming a shelter itself for our losses as readers.We learn about the author's father, who was a larger-than-life figure (similar to Mrs. Ramsey in "To the Lighthouse") but battled with alcoholism and ultimately succumbed to cancer. The prose is elegant and precise, filled with insights that forced me to pause, put down the page, and consider my own relationships.Really powerful stuff. I hadn't read "To the Lighthouse" before reading "All the Lives" but that didn't impact my understanding. It actually inspired me to pick up Woolf's book.Highly recommend "All the Lives" for readers looking for a beautiful read that asks the big questions: how can we even attempt to understand the loss of our favorite people, how can we come to terms with who those people really were, do we even want to know?

All the lives we ever lived will not find a home on my library shelves. It reads like a Ph.D thesis, including some ten words I did not know existed in the English language (capuscular, for example) and another several that I had never spoken or needed to express myself, such as evanescent. I am certain the examining Board would be impressed.The mourning, which she correctly reminds us is done by one and all of us at some time, continues tiresomely, long after the point is made. She is brilliant but can be boring and tedious.

I was really taken by this book, which caught me by surprise. I wanted to read it mostly out of clinical interest to how she would work a modern story around Virginia Woolf. I had never read Woolf's "Lighthouse" book, so I wasn't expecting to be that connected either way.But her story about her father, and reflections on how her father confronted disappointments and compromises was very affecting. Her father was not that old - 59 - and that's sure not as old as it used to be. A lot of the things she describes her father living through are a lot more relevant to me than they would have been a few years back. On the other hand, she's also writing about saying goodbye to a parent and that's something else that becomes more concrete and less abstract with age.I wasn't always excited about the Woolf digressions - because I'm not familiar with the book - but I could follow the connections she made. A few hit home - she relates how Woolf's characters go to a childhood home and stand outside. The feeling is of being a ghost - a shade from the past lurking at the doorstop, but never coming in. I've been that person too.I'm hesitant to give five stars, because the Woolf sections do require SOME knowledge for the most appreciation, which I didn't have. But the personal stories were all very affecting in a way that never drooped into mid-age ennui.Any audience of middle age adults will 'enjoy' the reckoning that Smyth is both experiencing and capturing. A fan of Woolf will no doubt appreciate these links. All in all, very, very good.

First of all, I will say that this map does have good, heavy duty lamination. But that's the only good thing I can say. I wish I'd read the reviews before I purchased this. It looks like something someone did at home: it's pieces of a map cut apart and laminated (for easy folding, I guess), the western part of the state has been cut off and placed below the rest of the state (to make a square map instead of a rectangle), and the edges of the lamination haven't been cut evenly. This map is probably fine for someone who needs something easy to use in the car, but I'd planned on using this in my homeschool to teach my child about our state. I'm going to have to cut it apart and put it back together myself so my son can actually see what the state looks like.

I really thought that this was a joke at first, the map is terrible, it looks like cut up pieces that have been laminated together, with decent sized gaps in between. The map also is split up into sections of the state on front and back side of the map, meaning you never get a full state view. I will be returning this map, and would never recommend anyone to purchase this "map".

I was expecting them to be a larger scale, depending on the state, one inch on the map is 15 to 18 miles. Might be even smaller scale for some of the larger states. Still, these work well as long as you are traveling on major roads. Great for road trips, and then switching to GPS when you are close to your destination.

It was laminated so I thought it would be great for my run across NC (Virginia line to SC line over 4 days). We got rained on 2 days out of the 4. The map got wet and fell apart. So I had to throw it away.

This map is actually pretty great. It's hard to get excited about a map, but this will work well. It folds easily and is quality laminate. It's been in my book bag for several weeks now and not so much as a crease. It is not as detailed as some maps but it shows all the main roads and highways. When the GPS isn't working, or I don't have cell service, this is good insurance that I won't get lost.

crummy map - not very detailed

Map is good if a person wants to learn more about a state to travel in. Maps are good on a device, but there is nothing like opening a map and looking at the whole state and on the back are some cities. worth the money. sturdy and folds back up easily.

Half of NC is on one side of the map and the other half is on the back. This makes it a little difficult to use for home educating as I had planned on doing. The laminating is thick and it does fold easily. I just wish all of NC was visible on one side of the map.
