For the millions of people who want spirituality without religion, Sam Harris` new book is a guide to meditation as a rational spiritual practice informed by neuroscience & psychology. From best-selling author, neuroscientist, & ”new atheist” Sam Harris, Waking Up is for the increasingly large numbers of people who follow no religion, but who suspect that Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Rumi, & the other saints & sages of history could not have all been epileptics, schizophrenics, or frauds. Throughout the book, Harris argues that there are important truths to be found in the experiences of such contemplatives-&, therefore, that there is more to understanding reality than science & secular culture generally allow. Waking Up is part seeker`s memoir & part exploration of the scientific underpinnings of spirituality. No other book marries contemplative wisdom & modern science in this way, & no author other than Sam Harris-a scientist, philosopher, & famous sceptic-could write it. ...

Consistent difficulty rating & useful additional information prevent the user from critical situations on the trails. The best singletrails in the best mountain bike spots throughout Europe

The maps in a scale of 1:50 000 show all information required for tour planning & orienting oneself on the trails, such as: difficulty, highlight-trails, mountain railways with mountain bike transport, mountain bike shuttles, dangerous falls, restaurants, bike shops, emergency numbers & touristic infopoints. Thanks to the especially chosen map section, one map covers the whole area. The Supertrail Maps are printed on tear- & waterproof foil which makes them very sturdy. On the back of any map, additional information about the area & the use of a Supertrail Map are presented in two languages. Folded

Dimensions of 10x 15cm allow the map to fit into any pocket without squeezing.
