The gentle thoroughbred, Black Beauty, is raised with care and is treated well until a vicious groom injures him.

The clarity of his thinking-and his insistence on the relevance of ethical standards-are totally relevant as we strive to rebuild a broken financial system. "This collection of Jack Bogle's writings couldn't be more timely. ![]() ![]() The exploration of the inner life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs was to dominate his work for the rest of his life. As the West braced itself for war, Huxley came increasingly to believe that the key to solving the world's problems lay in changing the individual through mystical enlightenment. In 1937, at the height of his fame, Huxley left Europe to live in California, working for a time as a screenwriter in Hollywood. ![]() ![]() ![]() The great novels of ideas, including his most famous work 'Brave New World' (published in 1932 this warned against the dehumanising aspects of scientific and material 'progress') and the pacifist novel 'Eyeless in Gaza' (1936) were accompanied by a series of wise and brilliant essays, collected in volume form under titles such as 'Music at Night' (1931) and 'Enda and Means' (1937). For most of the 1920s Huxley lived in Italy and an account of his experiences there can be found in 'Along The Road' (1925). This was swiftly followed by 'Antic Hay' (1923), 'Those Barren Leaves' (1925) and 'Point Counter Point' (1928) - bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily but ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties, but it was his first novel, 'Crome Yellow' (1921), which established his literary reputation. ![]() Aldous Huxley was born on 26th July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. ![]() ![]() ![]() But this analogy is problematic, and led neuroscientist Wolf Singer to call the brain “an orchestra without a conductor.” ![]() ![]() This massive communication network is frequently likened to a “symphony… happening at the speed of thought,” as NIH Director Dr. The fact that the our 86 billion or so neurons (brain cells) inside our heads can communicate with one another in any meaningful way is the great mystery of neuroscience. The human brain is an incredible product of the accumulation of countless generations of tiny genetic errors. But in the same way a slip of a chord during a jazz improvisation can give rise to a brilliant interlude, these incredibly unlikely little twists of DNA are what gave rise to the amazing variety and abundance of life and experience of our world. Most of them have little to no biological effect fewer are harmful and fewer still are helpful. What is evolution if not billions of years’ worth of beautiful oopses? Every little mutation is a mistake - an error in the replication of DNA. The utility of mistakes isn't limited to art. ![]() ![]() Grzegorz Damiecki was born in Warsaw, Mazowieckie, Poland, on November 15, 1967. In Hold Tight, she plays Laura Goldsztajn.
