A EuropeNow Editor's Pick A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year
"Pieter M. Judson's book informs and stimulates. If his account of Habsburg achievements, especially in the 18th century, is rather starry-eyed, it is a welcome corrective to the black legend usually presented. Lucid, elegant, full of surprising and illuminating details, it can be warmly recommended to anyone with an interest in modern European history." --Tim Blanning, Wall Street Journal
"This is an engaging reappraisal of the empire whose legacy, a century after its collapse in 1918, still resonates across the nation-states that replaced it in central Europe. Judson rejects conventional depictions of the Habsburg empire as a hopelessly dysfunctional assemblage of squabbling nationalities and stresses its achievements in law, administration, science and the arts." --Tony Barber, Financial Times
"Spectacularly revisionist... Judson argues that...the empire was a force for progress and modernity... This is a bold and refreshing book... Judson does much to destroy the picture of an ossified regime and state." --A. W. Purdue, Times Higher Education
"Judson's reflections on nations, states and institutions are of broader interest, not least in the current debate on the future of the European Union after Brexit." --Annabelle Chapman, Prospect

Описание:
Making art has always been 'costly' (money, time, political threats, survival fitness, ...). So why do we bother? It's all part of what prevents human brains (as opposed to those of animals and computers) from being terribly maladaptive.
The key lies in (Piaget's) constructivism. While we might intuit that meaning is conveyed via a medium/media, how then is art (e.g., the Mona Lisa) distinguished from artifact (e.g., a light bulb)? The book reconsiders the notions of 'intelligence' and 'communication' from a multidisciplinary array of discourses, ultimately proposing a essential role for art, within human cognition.
In contrast to orthodox perspectives culled from any privileged, isolated field, the discussion herein is the result of multidisciplinary research into genetics (Charles Darwin, Richard Dawkins), cognitive science (Daniel Dennett, Annette Karmiloff-Smith), child development (Jean Piaget, Howard Gardner), computers (Alan Turing, Zenon Pylyshyn), sociology (Stanley Milgram, Joseph Campbell), ethology (Niko Tinbergen, Sara Shettleworth), neurology (Vernon Mountcastle, Joseph LeDoux), psycholinguistics (George Lakoff, Terrence Deacon), and innovative ideas about the function of language (Noam Chomsky, William Burroughs).
Note: no particular expertise by readers is assumed for any given field.

Описание: The instant New York Times bestseller A step-by-step plan clinically proven to break the cycle of worry and fear that drives anxiety and addictive habits We are living through one of the most anxious periods any of us can remember. Whether facing issues as public as a pandemic or as personal as having kids at home and fighting the urge to reach for the wine bottle every night, we are feeling overwhelmed and out of control. But in this timely book, Judson Brewer explains how to uproot anxiety at its source using brain-based techniques and small hacks accessible to anyone. We think of anxiety as everything from mild unease to full-blown panic. But it's also what drives the addictive behaviors and bad habits we use to cope (e.g. stress eating, procrastination, doom scrolling and social media). Plus, anxiety lives in a part of the brain that resists rational thought. So we get stuck in anxiety habit loops that we can't think our way out of or use willpower to overcome. Dr. Brewer teaches us to map our brains to discover our triggers, defuse them with the simple but powerful practice of curiosity, and to train our brains using mindfulness and other practices that his lab has proven can work. Distilling more than 20 years of research and hands-on work with thousands of patients, including Olympic athletes and coaches, and leaders in government and business, Dr. Brewer has created a clear, solution-oriented program that anyone can use to feel better - no matter how anxious they feel.
