About
The Press is one project of the Daynal Institute to assist in fostering exploration of the spiritual counterpart of advancing material knowledge and temporal wisdom. As such, the scope of the Press includes work across a range of subjects in the Humanities and Sciences to explore the limitless range of facts, meanings, and values implicit in the question of “who are we” as human beings to have taken upon ourselves the name- homo sapiens -the wise and knowing one.
The Press is a web-integrated endeavor embracing the Internet as a primary distribution network and Open Source priorities as the most effective tools for creative expression and collaboration. Consequently, while the Press makes provision for the physical production and distribution of its books for purchase through resellers, their content may be found freely available in the Nordan Symposia where readers can be referred directly to related material on the Web that is a material extension of our shared endowment of cosmic mind.
