Book Synopsis The Lopsided Ape by : Michael C. Corballis
Download or read book The Lopsided Ape written by Michael C. Corballis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993-06-10 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How great is the evolutionary distance between humans and apes, and what is it that creates that gulf? Philosophers and scientists have debated the question for centuries, but Michael Corballis finds the mystery revealed in our right hands. For humans are the only primates who are predominantly right handed, a sign of the specialization of the left hemisphere of the brain for language. And that specialization, he tells us, makes a massive distance indeed, as he describes what exactly it means to be the lopsided ape. In The Lopsided Ape, Corballis takes us on a fascinating tour of the origins and implications of the specialization of the two halves of the brain--known as laterality--in human evolution. He begins by surveying current views of evolution, ranging from the molecular level--the role of viruses, for instance, in transporting genes between species--to the tremendous implications of such physical changes as walking on two feet. Walking upright freed our ancestors' arms for such things as tool-making and gesturing (a critical part of early language). Corballis argues that the evolution of the brain--and language--was intimately tied up with these changes: The proliferation of objects made by early hominids, in an increasingly artificial environment marked by social cooperation, demanded greater flexibility in communication and even in thinking itself. These evolutionary pressures spurred the development of laterality in the brain. He goes on to look at the structure of language, following the work of Noam Chomsky and others, showing how grammar allows us to create an infinite variety of messages. In examining communication between animals and attempts to teach apes and dolphins language, he demonstrates that only humans have this unlimited ability for expression--an ability that he traces back through hominid evolution. After this engrossing account of what we know about evolution, language, and the human brain, Corballis suggests that the left hemisphere has evolved a Generative Assembling Device, a biological mechanism that allows us to manipulate open-ended forms of representation and provides the basis for mathematics, reasoning, music, art, and play as well as language and manufacture. It is this device, he writes, that truly sets us off from the apes. Both a detailed account of human language and evolution and a convincing argument for a new view of the brain, The Lopsided Ape provides fascinating insight into our origins and the nature of human thought itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louisanna lives with her grandmother, Nimee, in a huge house on a lonely northern island. Her only companion is her nanny, Cerena, who has come to realize that Louisanna has inherited her grandmothers second sight. Louisanna is drawn by a force she does not understand to climb the green hill near their house. Once Louisanna reaches the top of the green hill, she finds herself in another time and place, in a kingdom where Satan is all-powerful, and nothing is as it should be. Everyone she meets seems to have been expecting her, and even though she does not understand why, she courageously takes on Satan and his minions with the help of many strange and interesting creatures and beings she has met along the way. Little does Louisanna know that Satan has plans for her that include a journey through the very heart of his darkest realms and to use her as a ploy in his plan to once again make himself higher than God.
Book Synopsis The Lopsided Spread of Christianity by : Robert L. Montgomery
Download or read book The Lopsided Spread of Christianity written by Robert L. Montgomery and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-10-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparing the spread of Christianity to the East to its more successful spread to the West, Montgomery illustrates the uneven diffusion of one of the world's most influential and successful religions. Through his sociological analysis, the author examines the causes for Christianity's success to the West and its relative failings in major societies to the east of Jerusalem, including India, Persia, and China. Applying five variables, including Christianity's missionary orientation, geography, intersocietal relations, sociocultural structures, and individual perceptions, Montgomery provides a theory of the diffusion of religion in general, and of Christianity in particular. Beginning by laying out the variables he will apply to the study, Montgomery carefully explains his approach, introducing the reader to this unique field of study. He then moves on to examine Christianity's earliest spread to areas east of Jerusalem. An examination of the rise of Islam in the East precedes a comparative analysis of the success of Christianity in its spread to the West to its relative failure to spread to the East. He concludes with a discussion of religious pluralism. Groundbreaking in its attempt to establish a better understanding of religious diffusion, this work will be indispensable to those interested in the study of sociology of religions, religious studies, missionary studies, and Christianity.

Book Synopsis Advancing Human Development by : Frances Stewart
Download or read book Advancing Human Development written by Frances Stewart and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Development has been advocated as the prime development goal since 1990, when the publication of the first UNDP Human Development Report proposed that development should improve the lives people lead in multiple dimensions instead of primarily pursuing economic growth. This approach forms the foundation of Advancing Human Development: Theory and Practice. It traces the evolution of approaches to development, showing how the Human Development approach emerged as a consequence of defects in earlier strategies. Advancing Human Development argues that Human Development is superior to measures of societal happiness. It investigates the determinants of success and failure in Human Development across countries over the past forty years, taking a multidimensional approach to point to the importance of social institutions and social capabilities as essential aspects of change. It analyses political conditions underlying the performance of Human Development, and surveys global progress in multiple dimensions such as life expectancy, infant mortality, and education and outcomes, whilst reflecting on dimensions which have worsened over time, such as rising inequality and declining environmental conditions. These deteriorating conditions inform Advancing Human Development's account of the challenges to the Human Development approach, covering the insufficient attention paid to macroeconomic conditions and the economic structure needed for sustained success.
Book Synopsis Policy Matters by : Jose Antonio Ocampo
Download or read book Policy Matters written by Jose Antonio Ocampo and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2000, UN member states pledged to halve world poverty by 2015, among other Millennium Development Goals (MDG's). But progress has been elusive since. The chapters in this volume address disparate problems in achieving the UN Development Agenda, from the complex effects of trade and financial liberalisation to the realities of development aid, itself a central pillar of the MDGs. The unifying theme is one of economic and social integration, and an emphasis on long-term strategic investments in education, health and infrastructure.
Book Synopsis Lopsided Schools by : Gerard Giordano
Download or read book Lopsided Schools written by Gerard Giordano and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2011-01-16 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lopsided Schools introduces readers to the case method and helps the reader to use the case method to examine the scholastic challenges that critics posed from World War I to the present. Some critics have stirred up educators with threats to reduce their budgets or fire them. Others upset them with disconcerting questions. Should parents demand that their children learn speed reading? Should teachers emphasize vocational activities? Should principals train their own successors? Should superintendents award bonuses to teachers? Should employers hire the graduates with the highest scores on standardized tests? Should politicians assume greater responsibility for schooling? Should journalists publicize information about lopsided schools? This book examines these and the numerous other questions that critics posed.
Book Synopsis Economic Reforms, Growth and Inequality in Latin America by : Gustavo Indart
Download or read book Economic Reforms, Growth and Inequality in Latin America written by Gustavo Indart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 2004. Growth, income distribution, and labour markets are issues of pivotal importance in the Latin American context. Examining unique theoretical issues and the empirical evidence, this book provides a critical analysis of the key elements of income distribution determinants, labour market functions, trade policies, and their interrelations. As the advance of globalization becomes seemingly unstoppable, this book provides an important reappraisal of the impact of this new phenomenon, and in particular, the pernicious impact it may have on income growth and distribution. The key objective of the volume is to integrate more fully the analysis of trade and labour market economists, in order to better understand the labour market and income distribution implications of globalization and international integration. Forty years after the early calls to appropriately investigate the micro foundations of macroeconomics, the separation of the two at the policy level is more damaging than ever before - particularly for developing regions; this volume therefore makes an important contribution at the theoretical and policy levels by bringing together macroeconomic and microeconomic analyses.
Download or read book Lopsided Manners written by C. L. Wallace and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-14 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synopsis The last place for a Black millennial with low tolerance for noise and so-called woke people is the home of her urban-pioneering coworker on the West Side of Chicago. But in the fall of 2020, that's where I was. In need of a place to crash while I looked for a house, John opened his door; and in need of comfort, and the extra money as he went through a divorce, I gave him a shoulder to cry on (not literally, he did it from a distance). Part tenant, part friend, and part ambassador of Common Sense, we spent the next six months fixing his property and relationship problems: problems he had with women, and problems he had with himself. From his murder-scene of a home to his premature love interest and misconceptions about women, it was an uphill battle conveying the importance of self-care, and more importantly self-awareness. Some lessons he learned easily, like how a dirty dwelling implies a dirty dick; others were harder to grasp, like why Oprah shushed him and how to avoid that if he ever sees her again. But after a dozen trips to the hardware store, many verbal showdowns, and lots of therapy, the place felt less like a finishing school for men and more like a small sanctuary, as he came to realize some things on his own...as did I.
