Book Synopsis The Historians' Paradox by : Peter Charles Hoffer
Download or read book The Historians' Paradox written by Peter Charles Hoffer and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2010-08-02 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How do we know what happened in the past? We cannot go back, and no amount of historical data can enable us to understand with absolute certainty what life was like then. It is easy to demolish the very idea of historical knowing, but it is impossible to demolish the importance of historical knowing. In an age of cable television pundits and anonymous bloggers dueling over history, the value of owning history increases at the same time as our confidence in history as a way of knowing crumbles. Historical knowledge thus presents a paradox - the more it is required, the less reliable it has become. To reconcile this paradox - that history is impossible but necessary - Peter Charles Hoffer proposes a practical, workable philosophy of history for our times, one that is robust and realistic, and that speaks to anyone who reads, writes and teaches history. The philosophy of history that Hoffer supports in The Historians' Paradox is driven by a continual and careful search for the authentic, but without confining the real to a finite or closed set of facts. Hoffer urges us to think and live with a keen awareness that history is everywhere, to accept the impossibility of measuring its reliability, but to never approach it unquestioningly. Covering a sweeping range of philosophies (from ancient history to game theory), methodological approaches to writing history, and the advantages and disadvantages of different strategies of argument, Hoffer constructs a philosophy of history that is reasonable, free of fallacy, and supported by appropriate evidence that is itself tenable. The Historians' Paradox brings together accounts of actual historical events, anecdotes about historians, insights from philosophers of history, and the personal experience of a long time scholar and teacher. Throughout, Hoffer liberally spices the mixture with humor to create a philosophy of history for our times."--publisher.
Book Synopsis Paradoxes of Power and Leadership by : Miguel Pina e Cunha
Download or read book Paradoxes of Power and Leadership written by Miguel Pina e Cunha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do great companies and other organizations fail, sometimes abruptly? Why do admired leaders fall from their organizational pedestals? Why do young and promising managers derail? Why do organizations create and reinforce rules that manifestly damage both them and those that they employ, serve and sustain? Leadership is a much-discussed but ill-defined idea in business and management circles. Analysing and understanding the skills and behaviours exhibited in leadership practice reveal that leaders exhibit paradoxical activities that challenge our understanding of organizations. In this text, the authors identify leadership behaviours that compete towards business equilibrium: selfish versus selfless, distance versus proximity, consistency versus individuality, enforcing professional standards versus flexibility and control versus autonomy. These paradoxical dilemmas require a reflexive and analytical approach to a subject that is tricky to define. The book explores the paradoxes of power and leadership not as a panacea for solving organizational problems but as a lens through which leadership and power are seen as an exercise in dynamic balance. Read this book as an invitation to the paradoxes of power and leadership that frame organizational life today. Be prepared to find surprises – and some counterintuitive arguments. Providing a thought-provoking guide to the traits and skills that will help readers to understand and navigate paradoxical leadership behaviour, this reflexive book will be a useful reading for students and scholars of business, management and psychology globally.
Book Synopsis The We Between Us by : Lloyd E. McIlveen
Download or read book The We Between Us written by Lloyd E. McIlveen and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The We Between Us is a preparatory study of social, emotional, intimate, and intellectual background and general makeup or all that exists between two people, two groups or two nations generally. This study helps reveal those attributes as potential grounds where two entities have connected somehow for determining their future in relating or relationships of any nature (love, romance, marriage, family, business, negotiating or peacemaking). This study may also be used as a lifelong practice relating with others more proficiently. It is comprehensive and less time-consuming than courting or negotiating. Remember, though, this is definitely not a book to leisurely drift into a dreamland of literary escape. This is a study to boil down what relationships are, can, or will be.
Book Synopsis Fermi’S Paradox Cosmology and Life by : Michael Bodin
Download or read book Fermi’S Paradox Cosmology and Life written by Michael Bodin and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a universe as large as this, it would be surprising if earth was the only inhabited planet. Everything we know about cosmology today, suggested that life should be common. Almost certainly some of that would be similar to ourselves, and would also probably be using radio technology in much the way that we do. We should be able to pick up these signals, with the powerful radio telescopes we have today, and the surprising thing is that after 50 years of continuous listening, we have not yet detected a single one. Fermis paradox relates to this finding, but in its original form, was posed as a question, as to why, in a universe such as this, we have no knowledge of the extraterrestrial life which should be common. Many answers have been proposed, none of them satisfactory, and this book looks at the changes which have taken place since Fermis day, both with respect to the origin and evolution of life, and the advancing trends in modern cosmology, to provide current information from which readers can form their own opinion. The author presents a personal view, which is hypothetical and speculative, but consistent with facts nonetheless.
Book Synopsis Spiritual Transformation of the Fourth Millennium by : Lloyd E. McIlveen
Download or read book Spiritual Transformation of the Fourth Millennium written by Lloyd E. McIlveen and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If ever a person wanted to read on opening up a can of worms on a controversial subject, this is one of them. This is one of the king daddies of all the controversial issues. Its about the beginning, the interim, and the now, where conventional religion started, where it has been going and the changing route it is headed into. It may resist its inevitable destiny, or it may conform to the slow-moving new way of individual spirituality. The text is comprehensive, rational, and may be a bit startling to uninformed, naive, and inflexible believers while informative to nonbelievers, but is definitely an eye and ear opener for everyone. Your author recommends reading Evaluating Outdated Beliefs first as a preparation for further understanding the progression submitted in this issue of unfolding spiritual change.
Book Synopsis The Illusion of Will, Self, and Time by : Jonathan Bricklin
Download or read book The Illusion of Will, Self, and Time written by Jonathan Bricklin and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Seminary Co-op Notable Book of 2016 William James is often considered a scientist compromised by his advocacy of mysticism and parapsychology. Jonathan Bricklin argues James can also be viewed as a mystic compromised by his commitment to common sense. James wanted to believe in will, self, and time, but his deepest insights suggested otherwise. "Is consciousness already there waiting to be uncovered and is it a veridical revelation of reality?" James asked shortly before his death in 1910. A century after his death, research from neuroscience, physics, psychology, and parapsychology is making the case, both theoretically and experimentally, that answers James's question in the affirmative. By separating what James passionately wanted to believe, based on common sense, from what his insights and researches led him to believe, Bricklin shows how James himself laid the groundwork for this more challenging view of existence. The non-reality of will, self, and time is consistent with James's psychology of volition, his epistemology of self, and his belief that Newtonian, objective, even-flowing time does not exist.
Book Synopsis What God Is and Is Not by : Lloyd E. McIlveen
Download or read book What God Is and Is Not written by Lloyd E. McIlveen and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-13 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God, spirituality, and atheism are thought of with incompatible perception throughout the world. Is that the way it was meant to be? Is that the way people arranged it to be, or has it just been happenstance occurrences? These texts of what God and spirituality are or are not are primarily intended to help allow insight for clarifying any enhancement or doubt concerning how one may choose to believe. Whichever occurs, in the process of broadening the individuals scope, the results attained will be beneficial in building a comfort of security within to live life without doubt or question of right, wrong, good, or bad way to go. Its a view of the birthright everyone has to practice their chosen manner of believing after becoming aware of alternatives and feasibilities, opportunities, and other availabilities.

Book Synopsis Living to 150 by : Lloyd E. McIlveen
Download or read book Living to 150 written by Lloyd E. McIlveen and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living to 150 or even thereabouts sounds a little eccentric at first, but when one reads this book on comprehensive possibilities, the eccentricity aspects change a little to a little odd but interesting. After all, who ever thinks about living way into the future, let alone to one hundred or more? The excitement stirred up in these chapters is what stimulates one to realize, I could do the things I never had the chance to do earlier. That is true too, but it wont happen without the know-how that lifts life beyond the normal life span. This book is about preparing better health, insight, attitude, and other preliminaries for that much longer life. This author has a background of knowledge and personal lifelong experience that is fitting for long-life guidance into this adventure of a lifetime. Its time to think future. Many good things will happen because of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and its deeper, realistic, inspiring, deceiving, and at times, quite and meaningless value is explained in fairly easy-to-understand form. This is not a storybook. It is designed for the purpose of reducing the unknowns about love and adapting to and with this wanted, frustrating, and many times, misperceived emotion. The text helps evaluate how one may choose to deal with the power and glory or detrimental aspects of love.
Book Synopsis Improving on Love and Relationships by : Lloyd E. McIlveen
Download or read book Improving on Love and Relationships written by Lloyd E. McIlveen and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two books in one cover comprehensive views of love and relationships. Relationships are formed best by understanding as much as possible concerning them. Love, with its many splendors and disappointments, can be construed as a detriment or a key to success toward any kind of relationship in romance, business, family, friends, or politics. Book 1 adds to an assumed value of love with wide range perception to secure confidence for proceeding with meaningful relationships. It describes what is real and meaningful to what is deceptive and exists as fantasy. Book 2 elaborates on origination, different types, significance, deceptions, desires, experiences, communication, possibilities, the future, and guidance of relationships. Its comprehensive and all taken from a lifetime of relationship experiences and study. There is probably no better description of love and relationships available at this time than McIlveens display.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us have been so preoccupied day by day with our usual routines at whatever age of work, play, school, domestic activity, worry, and hurry among unforeseen surprises setting us back and off the track of our desired goals.

Book Synopsis Architecture and the Paradox of Dissidence by : Ines Weizman
Download or read book Architecture and the Paradox of Dissidence written by Ines Weizman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture and the Paradox of Dissidence maps out and expands upon the methodologies of architectural action and reinvigorates the concept of dissent within the architectural field. It expands the notion of dissidence to other similar practices and strategies of resistance, in a variety of historical and geographical contexts.The book also discusses how the gestures and techniques of past struggles, as well as ‘dilemmas’ of working in politically suppressive regimes, can help to inform those of today. This collection of essays from expert scholars demonstrates the multiple responses to this subject, the potential and dangers of dissidence, and thus constructs a robust lexicon of concepts that will point to possible ways forward for politically and theoretically committed architects and practitioners.
Book Synopsis The Wisdom Paradox by : Elkhonon Goldberg
Download or read book The Wisdom Paradox written by Elkhonon Goldberg and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-02-16 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wisdom Paradox explores the aging of the mind from a unique, positive perspective. In an era of increasing fears about mental deterioration, world-renowned neuropsychologist Elkhonon Goldberg provides startling new evidence that though the brain diminishes in some tasks as it ages, it gains in many ways. Most notably, it increases in what he terms “wisdom”: the ability to draw upon knowledge and experience gained over a lifetime to make quick and effective decisions. Goldberg delves into the machinery of the mind, separating memory into two distinct types: singular (knowledge of a particular incident or fact) and generic (recognition of broader patterns). As the brain ages, the ability to use singular memory declines, but generic memory is unaffected—and its importance grows. As an individual accumulates generic memory, the brain can increasingly rely upon these stored patterns to solve problems effortlessly and instantaneously. Goldberg investigates the neurobiology of wisdom, and draws on historical examples of artists and leaders whose greatest achievements were realized late in life.
Book Synopsis The Paradoxes of Posterity by : Benjamin Hoffmann
Download or read book The Paradoxes of Posterity written by Benjamin Hoffmann and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impetus for literary creation has often been explained as an attempt to transcend the mortality of the human condition through a work addressed to future generations. Failing to obtain literal immortality, or to turn their hope toward the spiritual immortality promised by religious systems, literary creators seek a symbolic form of perpetuity granted to the intellectual side of their person in the memory of those not yet born while they write. In this book, Benjamin Hoffmann illuminates the paradoxes inherent in the search for symbolic immortality, arguing that the time has come to find a new answer to a perennial question: Why do people write? Exploring the fields of digital humanities and book history, Hoffmann describes posterity as a network of interconnected memories that constantly evolves by reserving a variable and continuously renegotiated place for works and authors of the past. In other words, the perpetual safeguarding of texts is delegated to a collectivity that is nonexistent at the moment when a writer addresses it, one whose nature is characterized by impermanence and instability. Focusing on key works by Denis Diderot, Étienne-Maurice Falconet, Giacomo Casanova, François-René de Chateaubriand, and Jean-Paul Sartre, Hoffmann considers the authors’ representations of posterity, the representation of authors by posterity, and how to register and preserve works in the network of memories. In doing so, Hoffmann reveals the three great paradoxes in the quest for symbolic immortality: the paradoxes of belief, of identity, and of mediation. Theoretically sophisticated and convincingly argued, this book contends that there is only one truly serious literary problem: the transmission of texts to posterity. It will appeal to specialists in literature, in particular eighteenth-century French literature, as well as scholars and students of philosophy and book history.
