E-book Psychology : The Science of Mind and Behaviour

These theoretical differences partly reflect the complexity of the subject matter. Perhaps more importantly, there’s a very real sense in which we are all ‘Psychologists’ in our everyday lives: Psychologists as scientists/researchers use fundamental cognitive processes in order to investigate those same processes (such as perception and memory); hence, Psychologists (with an upper-case �…

This book is designed to help you become stronger and develop skills that we call mindful warrior skills. We get that this might sound a little weird right now. What is a mindful warrior, anyway?

E-Book Resisting Happiness: A True Story about Why We Sabotage Ourselves

EVERY SINGLE MOMENT IS A CHANCE TO TURN IT ALL AROUND. Are you happy? It may be the wrong question.

E-Book Balancing the Self: Medicine, Politics and The Regulation of Health in…

Concepts of ‘balance’ have been central to modern politics, medicine and society.

Andromeda was a princess from a region in Africa. Her parents were rulers, her mother was Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia believed that she was so beautiful, even more beautiful than all of the sea nymphs around. This upset poseidon, the ruler of the sea.

E-book Practical Numerology : A Tool for Simplified, Integrated, & Creative L…

It was this idea of “be your own man” that drove me to become a student of life 15 years ago. For the first 22 years of life I was a student of whatever other people wanted me to study—a product of “schooling”—what occurs inside a square building with cold air-conditioning and oftentimes with teachers that are just as cold. School was the place where you memorize information, usuall…

In Jane Addams’s Evolutionary Theorizing, Marilyn Fischer advances the bold and original claim that Addams’s reasoning in her first book, Democracy and Social Ethics, is thoroughly evolutionary.

E-Book Feminist Activism, Travel and Translation Around 1900

This study examines the ‘travel’ of political concepts between women's movements in the West around 1900 and argues that for the historical analysis of social movements, regardless of whether they were transnationally active or not, the exploration of the transfer practices that create spaces of exchange across linguistic and other borders is of eminent importance. It takes the biographical…

E-book A Geography of Time : The Temporal Misadventures of a Social Psycholog…

My class was scheduled from ten until noon. Many students came late. Several arrived after 10:30. A few showed up closer to eleven. Two came after that. All of the latecomers wore the relaxed smiles I later came to enjoy. Each one greeted me, and although a few apologized briefly, none seemed terribly concerned about being late. They assumed that I understood. That Brazilians would arrive late …

E-Book Ancient Divination and Experience

The introduction to this volume describes the contribution that it makes to scholarship on ancient divinatory practices. It analyses previous and current research, arguing that while this predominantly functionalist work reveals important socio-political dimensions of divination, it also runs the risk of obscuring from view the very people, ideologies, and experiences that scholars seek to unde…

E-Book Are We Comparing Yet?: On Standards, Justice, and Incomparability

Debates about the possibility of an open culture – or indeed about the possibility of an open debate about the openness of culture – often turn on questions of standards. But since no benchmark can be absolute, judgement is a proliferation of comparisons. Through a series of case studies in everyday and academic comparison (literature, history, politics, philosophy), Haun Saussy calls out t…

E-Book Living Water: An interdisciplinary exploration of water as a theologic…

Water will undoubtedly become an ever more crucial locus of academic reflection, as Christiana Peppard’s concern that “wars of the future will be fought over water, not oil” (2014) stresses. Increasing water shortages worldwide and global warming of water, in particular the salt water of the oceans, beg further reflection, from natural and agricultural sciences, the legal field, and also …

E-book Handbook Cognition and Emotion

The present volume does not generally focus on the question of whether thoughts (cognition) or feelings (emotion) are more functional. Rather, this introductory material is sufficient to make the case that, typically, thoughts and feelings are seen to be distinct entities with distinct effects (e.g., Epstein, 1994). Yet, it has become increasingly apparent that cognition and emotion often inter…

E-bok Cognitive Psychology

How does memory work? How do we understand language, and produce it so that others can understand? How do we perceive our environment? How do we infer from patterns of light or sound the presence of objects in our environment, and their properties? How do we reason, and solve problems? How do we think? These are some of the foundational questions that cognitive psychology examines. They are fou…

E-book The Way of Tarot : The Spiritual Teacher in the Cards

The majority of authors of Tarot books are content to describe and analyze the cards one by one without imagining the entire deck as a whole. However, the true study of each Arcanum begins with the consistent order of the entire Tarot; every detail, tiny as it may be, begins from the links that connect all seventy-eight cards. To understand these myriad symbols, one needs to have seen the final…

In order to acknowledge the ma…

E-Book Meta-Science: Towards a Science of Meaning and Complex Solutions

Science has lost its ethical imperatives as it moved away from a science of ought to a science of is. Subsequently, it might have answers for how we can address global challenges, such as climate change and poverty, but not why we should. This supposedly neutral stance leaves it to politics and religions (in the sense of non-scientific fields of social engagement) to fill in the values. The pro…

In the trickbox, concep…

This perceived hybrid nature of astrology often offends contemporarysensi-bilities, although, from ahistorical perspective,iti is the anachronistic projection of a modern divideon to anancient knowledge system that is to blame. Astrology, classified as a 'pseudoscience' has long been regarded as a liability by orthodox scholars of both science and religion and as a result, academics of either …
