Books with author S. Harris

Veronica Moffet is just your typical seventh-grade girl. The only minor difference is that she happens to be from another dimension. Not only that, but in the alternate reality of Enos, Veronica needs to do some serious rescuing. But can she save the day? The Echo of the Sun is the funny, wildly inventive young adult fantasy novel by author Scot Harris that stars an altogether different kind of damsel from another dimension, one who uses her boundless wits and creativity in place of her all-too-human frailties. After a perfectly awful last day of seventh grade, Veronica returns home to discover that her parents are actually banished royalty from a world called Enos. Now Veronica’s life depends on returning to Enos and finding the Solito, a precious object that was lost years ago. That won’t be easy, and along the way, Veronica must outwit charming horse thieves and power-hungry kings while she dodges horrible monsters, nasty Neestas and even evil windmills. Join the adventure in The Echo of the Sun, the far-flung fantasy that puts a seriously funny new spin on universe-hopping.

Sam Harris's first book, The End of Faith, ignited a worldwide debate about the validity of religion. In the aftermath, Harris discovered that most people--from religious fundamentalists to non-believing scientists--agree on one point: science has nothing to say on the subject of human values. Indeed, our failure to address questions of meaning and morality through science has now become the primary justification for religious faith.In this highly controversial book, Sam Harris seeks to link morality to the rest of human knowledge. Defining morality in terms of human and animal well-being, Harris argues that science can do more than tell how we are; it can, in principle, tell us how we ought to be. In his view, moral relativism is simply false--and comes at an increasing cost to humanity. And the intrusions of religion into the sphere of human values can be finally repelled: for just as there is no such thing as Christian physics or Muslim algebra, there can be no Christian or Muslim morality. Using his expertise in philosophy and neuroscience, along with his experience on the front lines of our “culture wars,"" Harris delivers a game-changing book about the future of science and about the real basis of human cooperation.
