Описание: "A startling argument . . . provocative . . . absorbing." --The Boston Globe "Ambitious . . . arresting . . . celebrates the importance of hands to our lives today as well as to the history of our species." --The New York Times Book Review The human hand is a miracle of biomechanics, one of the most remarkable adaptations in the history of evolution. The hands of a concert pianist can elicit glorious sound and stir emotion; those of a surgeon can perform the most delicate operations; those of a rock climber allow him to scale a vertical mountain wall. Neurologist Frank R. Wilson makes the striking claim that it is because of the unique structure of the hand and its evolution in cooperation with the brain that Homo sapiens became the most intelligent, preeminent animal on the earth. In this fascinating book, Wilson moves from a discussion of the hand's evolution--and how its intimate communication with the brain affects such areas as neurology, psychology, and linguistics--to provocative new ideas about human creativity and how best to nurture it. Like Oliver Sacks and Stephen Jay Gould, Wilson handles a daunting range of scientific knowledge with a surprising deftness and a profound curiosity about human possibility. Provocative, illuminating, and delightful to read, The Hand encourages us to think in new ways about one of our most taken-for-granted assets. "A mark of the book's excellence is that] it makes the reader aware of the wonder in trivial, everyday acts, and reveals the complexity behind the simplest manipulation." --The Washington Post

Описание: An accessible guide to the work of American psychologist and affect theorist Silvan Tomkins The brilliant and complex theories of psychologist Silvan Tomkins (1911–1991) have inspired the turn to affect in the humanities, social sciences, and elsewhere. Nevertheless, these theories are not well understood. A Silvan Tomkins Handbook makes his theories portable across a range of interdisciplinary contexts and accessible to a wide variety of contemporary scholars and students of affect. A Silvan Tomkins Handbook provides readers with a clear outline of Tomkins’s affect theory as he developed it in his four-volume masterwork Affect Imagery Consciousness. It shows how his key terms and conceptual innovations can be used to build robust frameworks for theorizing affect and emotion. In addition to clarifying his affect theory, the Handbook emphasizes Tomkins’s other significant contributions, from his broad theories of imagery and consciousness to more focused concepts of scenes and scripts. With their extensive experience engaging and teaching Tomkins’s work, Adam J. Frank and Elizabeth A. Wilson provide a user-friendly guide for readers who want to know more about the foundations of affect studies.

Описание: This book is devoted to the life of one of America's greatest jurists, Frank W. Wilson. It discusses his early life, education, life in the military, political life, life as a trial lawyer and, finally, life as a federal judge. Although Judge Wilson served for some twenty years on the federal bench, he turned down opportunities to serve on the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and was considered for a position on the United States Supreme Court. In addition to being a legal scholar, one of his finest qualities as a trial judge was to let the lawyers try their cases, and in twenty years, he never suffered from the affliction known as robitis. But he was not just a scholarly judge; he was an accomplished speaker with a quick, dry wit.

Detective Gianni Basso has excelled in the homicide division for years with an outstanding record of accomplishment in resolving his cases. His most recent has far-reaching implications, since it involves the death of Jennifer Ambrose, a high-profile lawyer. She worked as the general counsel for Diego Santiago, a prominent businessman with plenty of connections at City Hall. Complicating matters, Santiago has been linked to the growing drug problem in the city, although none of the allegations have been proven. Along with his partner Julius Curto, Detective Basso must delve into the private life of Ms. Ambrose and her many associates to solve this mystery. With the mayor, the chief of police, and the media crying for resolution, Basso is under considerable pressure to find the answer to this puzzling case, but numerous obstacles are thrown in his way to hinder his progress.
