Download or read book Gross Anatomy written by Mara Altman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An honest, funny, neurotic, and totally gross love child of Mindy Kaling and Mary Roach. Mara Altman's volatile and apprehensive relationship with her body has led her to wonder about a lot of stuff over the years. Like, who decided that women shouldn't have body hair? And how sweaty is too sweaty? Also, why is breast cleavage sexy but camel toe revolting? Isn't it all just cleavage? These questions and others like them have led to the comforting and sometimes smelly revelations that constitute Gross Anatomy, an essay collection about what it's like to operate the bags of meat we call our bodies. Divided into two sections, "The Top Half" and "The Bottom Half," with cartoons scattered throughout, Altman's book takes the reader on a wild and relatable journey from head to toe--as she attempts to strike up a peace accord with our grody bits. With a combination of personal anecdotes and fascinating research, Gross Anatomy holds up a magnifying glass to our beliefs, practices, biases, and body parts and shows us the naked truth: that there is greatness in our grossness.
Book Synopsis The Anatomy of Knowledge by : Marjorie Grene
Download or read book The Anatomy of Knowledge written by Marjorie Grene and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1969. Since the seventeenth century the kind of knowledge afforded by mathematical physics has come more and more to furnish mankind with an ideal for all knowledge. The ideal also carries with it a new conception of the nature of things: all things whatsoever are held to be intelligible ultimately in terms of the laws of inanimate nature. This reductionist formula can be overcome only by the fundamental rethinking of our philosophical premises. To contribute towards thsi rethinking was the aim of the Study Group at whose meetings this collection originated. The essayists come from a wide range of disciplines but all want to address the conflict in our culture. The first part consists of discussions of various fundamental problems in the sciences. There are essays on the inter-relation of physics and psychology, on the possible reduction of biology to physics and chemistry, on new approaches to experimental psychology, against the possibility of giving a purely ‘factual’ account of social and political life, and for a fundamental reform of our concept of responsibility. The second section of the book suggests lines of philosophical inquiry which might help to resolve the epistemological and ethical problems arising at the foundations of physics, biology, psychology and the social sciences.

Book Synopsis An Evolutionary Leap by : Colin Stanley
Download or read book An Evolutionary Leap written by Colin Stanley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the existential philosopher Colin Wilson died in December 2013, it was suggested by one perceptive obituary writer that, despite the seemingly diverse subject matter of his books, his true legacy lay in the field of Consciousness Studies. This is particularly apparent when studying his many essays and books on psychology and taking into consideration his close association with the celebrated American psychologist Abraham Maslow whose concept of 'Peak Experiences'(PEs) became, for Wilson, an important link to experiencing enhanced consciousness. Maslow, however, felt that PEs could not be induced at will; Wilson thought otherwise and through his work sought to encourage his readers and students to live more vital and appreciative lives thereby paving the way toward an evolutionary leap for mankind in consciousness-indeed, a change in consciousness that would potentially change everything.In this study, Colin Stanley, Wilson's bibliographer and author of Colin Wilson's 'Outsider Cycle': A Guide for Students and Colin Wilson's 'Occult Trilogy': A Guide for Students, provides an illuminating essay on each of Wilson's nine major books on psychology.

Book Synopsis The Anatomy of Happiness by : Dr. Martin S. Gumpert
Download or read book The Anatomy of Happiness written by Dr. Martin S. Gumpert and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1951, The Anatomy of Happiness by German-born physician Dr. Martin S. Gumpert is a medical interpretation of the contributory causes to happiness—and, conversely, unhappiness. The book analyzes both the physical and the psychological factors which play their part. There is the unhappy man, who may feel trapped, who is too timid or too aggressive, worried, or misplaced; there is the pathology of unhappiness which may result from obesity, being underweight, insomnia, headaches, ulcers, or one of any number of chronic ailments; there are the sources of unhappiness, whether in childhood, adolescence, or later in life as one approaches the climacteric and old age; and then there are the means of attaining happiness, through hope, loss of fear and faith, and through the tangibles of home, clothing and health. An indispensable read for all those seeking to attain, and maintain, happiness.

Book Synopsis The Anatomy of Change by : Waliyyuddin A. Sabir
Download or read book The Anatomy of Change written by Waliyyuddin A. Sabir and published by Booktango. This book was released on 2012-11-04 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anatomy of Change is a book of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The "past" is looked at as relevant; the “now” is discussed with enlightened passion and the "future" is filled with hope and reconciliation according to the author, Waliyyuddin Sabir. I found myself anxious to go to the next page to read more of the straight-forward truth that was provoking me to think thoughts that I had buried in the past. Yet, causing me to realize that those thoughts are relevant to today and painfully helpful for better tomorrows. This book is powerful and necessary in our society and the real blessing will come when we go past reading the book and “do the book”. Reverend Linda K. Shepard

Book Synopsis Reinventing Yourself, 20th Anniversary Edition by : Steve Chandler
Download or read book Reinventing Yourself, 20th Anniversary Edition written by Steve Chandler and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This completely revised and updated edition of Reinventing Yourself, the motivational classic by inspirational author Steve Chandler, features several new chapters, including: What to Do about Your Money Fears Your Career Played as a Game vs. Your Career as a Grind for Survival How Much Ego Do You Need to Succeed? The Hidden Downside of Winning Friends and Influencing People Do You Need a Life Coach or Should You Just Wing It? Does Success Make You Happy or Does Happiness Make You Successful? You'll learn numerous techniques for breaking down negative barriers and letting go of the pessimistic thoughts that prevent you from fulfilling, or even allowing yourself to conceive of, your goals and dreams. Chandler's new edition also tunes, polishes, and strengthens the many popular and inspiring chapters from previous editions of this book, making them even more useful and relevant in today's rapidly changing, globalized world. The old psychological models that focused on past hurts and traumatic memories have given way to exciting new breakthroughs, like Dr. Martin Seligman's work on post-traumatic strength and Dr. George Pransky's work on human beings' innate resilience and well-being. No more fixating on psychic wounds that occurred in childhood. Chandler's new revision looks at the work of both of those pioneers and makes optimism available to people who never believed they could reinvent their old ways of being.

Book Synopsis In My Good Books by : V.S. Pritchett
Download or read book In My Good Books written by V.S. Pritchett and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-10-28 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mr. Pritchett's view, rules, regulations and blitzes have brought things to such a pass that the moment will come when only the reader "and the hundred best authors are left in the world and have somehow to shake down together." To prepare for this "unnerving situation" he has re-read and re-assessed some of these authors, and the essays collected in this book are the fruit of his cogitations. Gibbon, Mrs. Gaskell, Dostoevsky, Fielding, Kilvert, Twain, Synge, Swift, Browning, are some of the writers Mr. Pritchett discusses. Names and dates are diverse, but nearly all have one common characteristic: they demonstrate the axiom that past and present are often parallel in most unexpected ways. Swift anticipated modern science and its consequences nearly two hundred years ago. Thackeray drew a modern Mayfair playboy when he created Rawdon Crawley. Huckleberry Finn is blood relation to Charlie Chaplin. These essays should appeal to scholars and the unlearned alike. Those who have neglected their classics will make discoveries which they can follow up with the aid of the appendix. The well-read cannot fail to be stimulated by the learning, vitality and originality which make up the texture of Mr. Pritchett's mind. His pages are peppered with controversial statements; epigrams abound; digressions widen the range and personal opinions focus it; but critical virtuosity is always subordinated to the central problem, and always throws new light on it.

Book Synopsis A Man of Letters by : V.S. Pritchett
Download or read book A Man of Letters written by V.S. Pritchett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10-28 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: V. S. Pritchett is widely - and justly - regarded not only as one of the finest short story writers of this century, but as a critic and essayist of astonishing range, perception and originality. Combining an unpretentious common sense with a rare genius for the illuminating insight into the familiar and the neglected alike, his criticism is all the more valuable in an age in which the study of literature has become increasingly arid and arcane; and unlike so many of his academic counterparts, V. S. Pritchett has always had a remarkable ability to epitomise a writer's work - and convey his own enthusiasm for it - within the compass of a short and eminently accessible essay. First published in 1985, A Man of Letters brings together a selection of his finest and most representative work from the past forty years, ranging from Smollett and Peacock to Evelyn Waugh and Cyril Connolly, from Henry James and Nathanael West to Stendhal and Proust, from Nabokov and Machado de Assis to Manzoni and Dostoevsky. This wise and sparkling collection is, in itself, a lasting tribute to one of the greatest Men of Letters of our time.
Book Synopsis The Anatomy of Bloom by : Alistair Heys
Download or read book The Anatomy of Bloom written by Alistair Heys and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here at last is a comprehensive introduction to the career of America's leading intellectual. The Anatomy of Bloom surveys Harold Bloom's life as a literary critic, exploring all of his books in chronological order, to reveal that his work, and especially his classic The Anxiety of Influence, is best understood as an expression of reprobate American Protestantism and yet haunted by a Jewish fascination with the Holocaust. Heys traces Bloom's intellectual development from his formative years spent as a poor second-generation immigrant in the Bronx to his later eminence as an international literary phenomenon. He argues that, as the quintessential living embodiment of the American dream, Bloom's career-path deconstructs the very foundations of American Protestantism.
