Book Synopsis Adventures of Mind and Mathematics by : Wolff-Michael Roth
Download or read book Adventures of Mind and Mathematics written by Wolff-Michael Roth and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph uses the concept and category of “event” in the study of mathematics as it emerges from an interaction between levels of cognition, from the bodily experiences to symbolism. It is subdivided into three parts.The first moves from a general characterization of the classical approach to mathematical cognition and mind toward laying the foundations for a view on the mathematical mind that differs from going approaches in placing primacy on events.The second articulates some common phenomena–mathematical thought, mathematical sign, mathematical form, mathematical reason and its development, and affect in mathematics–in new ways that are based on the previously developed ontology of events. The final part has more encompassing phenomena as its content, most prominently the thinking body of mathematics, the experience in and of mathematics, and the relationship between experience and mind. The volume is well-suited for anyone with a broad interest in educational theory and/or social development, or with a broad background in psychology.
Download or read book Real Man Adventures written by T and published by McSweeney's. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few years ago, the novelist T Cooper wrote his parents a letter telling them he “wasn’t their daughter anymore.” And that was the “good news.” Real Man Adventures is Cooper’s brash, wildly inventive, and often comic exploration of the paradoxes and pleasures of masculinity. He takes us through his transition into identifying as male, and how he went on to marry his wife and become an adoring stepfather of two children. Alternately bemused and exasperated when he feels compelled to explain all this, Cooper never loses his sense of humor. “Ten Things People Assume I Understand About Women But Actually Don’t,” reads one chapter title, while another proffers: “Sometimes I Think the Whole of Modern History Can Be Explained by Testosterone.” A brilliant collage of letters, essays, interviews (with his brother, with his wife, with the parents of other transgender children), artwork, and sharp evocations of difficult conversations with old friends and puzzled bureaucrats, Real Man Adventures will forever change what you think about what it means to be a man.
Book Synopsis Mind of the Raven by : Bernd Heinrich
Download or read book Mind of the Raven written by Bernd Heinrich and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heinrich involves us in his quest to get inside the mind of the raven. But as animals can only be spied on by getting quite close, Heinrich adopts ravens, thereby becoming a "raven father," as well as observing them in their natural habitat. He studies their daily routines, and in the process, paints a vivid picture of the ravens' world. At the heart of this book are Heinrich's love and respect for these complex and engaging creatures, and through his keen observation and analysis, we become their intimates too. Heinrich's passion for ravens has led him around the world in his research. Mind of the Raven follows an exotic journey—from New England to Germany, and from Montana to Baffin Island in the high Arctic—offering dazzling accounts of how science works in the field, filtered through the eyes of a passionate observer of nature. Each new discovery and insight into raven behavior is thrilling to read, at once lyrical and scientific.

Download or read book Madman written by John Suler and published by . This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on real life experiences and written by an internationally recognized expert in emerging fields of psychology, this unique novel immerses the reader into the world of a psychology intern working on the psychiatric unit of a modern teaching hospital. With irreverent humor, a surreal imagination, and elements of eastern philosophy, this coming-of-age story captures the point of view of a young clinical psychologist, Thomas Holden. A keen observer with a comic eye, Holden's ongoing internal musings, along with his experiences with patients and staff, expose both the absurdity and idealism inherent in psychotherapeutic practice. Ultimately overwhelmed by exhaustion and bewildered by the paradoxical behaviors of his newest patient - a "John Doe" with no memory or identity - Holden wonders whether he too is losing his grip on reality. Description: Thomas Holden, a psychology intern working in a psychiatric hospital, is in trouble. The depressed patient he discharged yesterday was run over by a mail truck. Was it suicide? Is he responsible for her death? His new patient Richard Mobin is a violent paranoid schizophrenic who drowns baby birds and thinks men in raincoats are plotting to kill him. If that isn't enough, Holden is assigned yet another difficult patient - a "John Doe" who apparently has no memory or identity, a man whom police found wandering the highway, collecting and burying road kill. But is this John Doe truly crazy, or is there something he's hiding? Is he working some scheme against Holden? Reviews: "Madman is a genuine tour de force, maintaining an emotionally powerful grip on the reader while presenting an intellectually sound introduction to the world of clinical psychology. In the context of an action-packed suspenseful novel, Professor Suler presents the fundamental theoretical and historical foundations of clinical psychology side by side with the real-world practical problems that challenge the wisdom of the theories. This is a good read for all mental health professionals and anyone who is contemplating becoming one. I couldn t put it down until it ended, and I had a hard time letting go when it did." -- Edward S. Katkin, Leading Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Psychiatry, Stony Brook University College Student Reviews: "It pulled me in from beginning to end...hilarious " "One of the best novels I have read in college and a work of literature." "I liked every aspect of the book, it kept me wanting to read more. I never wanted to put it down." "I loved the character Thomas Holden. He s amazing. I would be reading along and then all of a sudden he would say something so outrageous or funny that I would have to highlight the sentence or reread it." "This book really inspired me to continue my career in psychology." "From the beginning it draws you in and makes you feel like you re really there." "Realistic and authentic. It takes the reader through three continuous days on the unit and the thoughts running through the psychologist s mind." About the Author: John Suler PhD, Professor of Psychology at Rider University, is internationally recognized as a founder of the fields of Cyberpsychology and Photographic Psychology. His groundbreaking work "The Psychology of Cyberspace" is one of the first and most widely cited online hypertext books. An expert in emerging fields of psychology, he has also published widely on the integration of eastern philosophy and psychoanalysis. His collected works on that subject can be found in the book "Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Eastern Thought" (State University of New York Press), a tour de force showcasing Suler s talent for dazzling integrative thinking combined with an experience-near writing style. The novel MADMAN follows from this work, combining the imagination of Vonnegut, the coming-of-age storytelling of JD Salinger, and the penchant for sidebar essays reminiscent of Robert Pirsig.

Book excerpt: Waverly faces a game-changing opportunity: an offer to turn her popular advice column into a regular guest spot on the new TV show Love, Wendy. It could be the break of a lifetime--but for a few not-so-minor details. For starters, Waverly's acceptance of the job means moving clear across the country, giving up her rent-controlled apartment, and leaving behind her best friends McKenna and Andie. Oh, and there's the fact that TV host extraordinaire Wendy Davenport is none-too-pleased by the prospect of Waverly usurping her broadcast throne. Then there's Jake, Waverly's boyfriend. He's as crazy about her as ever. His mother, on the other hand? Not so much.
Book Synopsis Adventures in Thinking by : Emily Maroutian
Download or read book Adventures in Thinking written by Emily Maroutian and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adventures in Thinking follows Emily Maroutian's previous philosophical books, A Second Opinion and The Process of I. In the same vein, it delves into the process of the human mind and how we create, contribute, and ultimately change our experiences and the world around us through the power of our thinking. The first part of the book explores the personal mind and how it becomes limited through conditioned thinking and unconscious patterns of behavior. Our repeated thoughts lead to repeated behavior, which result in repeated experiences. The personal mind creates individual and global conflicts through its unrelenting need for mental security. It bypasses the truth for comfort, denying the possibility for solutions by denying its involvement in the creation of problems. This mind-frame narrows our experiences only to the familiar and safe, which significantly limits our possibilities in life. The second part of the book proposes the notion that we benefit the most from diversity, curiosity, mindfulness, and keeping an open mind. By sharing our unique perspectives with others and allowing others to contribute to our mental growth, we are then open to solutions we haven't considered. An open and aware mind leads to a deeper connection, an adventurous life, and to solution-oriented thinking. We cannot enact real change until we first change our minds.
