Stories of Mulla Nasrudin appear in oral traditions and literature from the Middle East to Greece, Russia to China. Many nations claim Nasrudin as a native son, but nobody really knows who he was or where he came from. Whether the stories are studied for their humour or hidden wisdom, they help us understand our world and ourselves.
Here, Nasrudin's anecdotes are seen to be parallel to the mind's working, designed to amuse the tea-house, but also intended for use on other levels.
Tales of the Mullah Nasrudin have entertained readers from diverse cultures throughout history. His antics embody the most common human foibles and offer opportunities for insights into the Divine Mysteries. These New Tales of Nasrudin are offered as a supplement to that tradition and are sure to elicit a chuckle, some head scratching, or an "Aha!", perhaps all at the same time. They should be read a few at a time, so as to savor their inner meaning. Also available from Eric K. Sorensen: ECLECTICUTION, a musical compact disk of original music in styles from folk to Chinese classical to reggae to jazz.

Neuroscientists are mining nucleic acids, blood, saliva, and brain images in hopes of uncovering biomarkers that could help estimate risk of brain disorders like psychosis and dementia; though the science of bioprediction is young, its prospects are unearthing controversy about how bioprediction should enter hospitals, courtrooms, or state houses. While medicine, law, and policy have established protocols for how presence of disorders should change what we owe each other or who we blame, they have no stock answers for the probabilities that bioprediction offers. The Neuroethics of Biomarkers observes, however, that for many disorders, what we really care about is not their presence per se, b...
