Mind of the Raven
Author: Bernd Heinrich
Publisher: Harper Perennial
ISBN: 9780061136054
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Heinrich involves us in his quest to get inside the mind of the raven. But as animals can only be spied on by getting quite close, Heinrich adopts ravens, thereby becoming a "raven father," as well as observing them in their natural habitat. He studies their daily routines, and in the process, paints a vivid picture of the ravens' world. At the heart of this book are Heinrich's love and respect for these complex and engaging creatures, and through his keen observation and analysis, we become their intimates too. Heinrich's passion for ravens has led him around the world in his research. Mind of the Raven follows an exotic journey—from New England to Germany, and from Montana to Baffin Island in the high Arctic—offering dazzling accounts of how science works in the field, filtered through the eyes of a passionate observer of nature. Each new discovery and insight into raven behavior is thrilling to read, at once lyrical and scientific.

Adventures of Mind and Mathematics
Author: Wolff-Michael Roth
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783030518110
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This monograph uses the concept and category of “event” in the study of mathematics as it emerges from an interaction between levels of cognition, from the bodily experiences to symbolism. It is subdivided into three parts.The first moves from a general characterization of the classical approach to mathematical cognition and mind toward laying the foundations for a view on the mathematical mind that differs from going approaches in placing primacy on events.The second articulates some common phenomena–mathematical thought, mathematical sign, mathematical form, mathematical reason and its development, and affect in mathematics–in new ways that are based on the previously developed ontology of events. The final part has more encompassing phenomena as its content, most prominently the thinking body of mathematics, the experience in and of mathematics, and the relationship between experience and mind. The volume is well-suited for anyone with a broad interest in educational theory and/or social development, or with a broad background in psychology.

Adventures in Thinking
Author: Emily Maroutian
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781537423289
Category : Cognitive psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Adventures in Thinking follows Emily Maroutian's previous philosophical books, A Second Opinion and The Process of I. In the same vein, it delves into the process of the human mind and how we create, contribute, and ultimately change our experiences and the world around us through the power of our thinking. The first part of the book explores the personal mind and how it becomes limited through conditioned thinking and unconscious patterns of behavior. Our repeated thoughts lead to repeated behavior, which result in repeated experiences. The personal mind creates individual and global conflicts through its unrelenting need for mental security. It bypasses the truth for comfort, denying the possibility for solutions by denying its involvement in the creation of problems. This mind-frame narrows our experiences only to the familiar and safe, which significantly limits our possibilities in life. The second part of the book proposes the notion that we benefit the most from diversity, curiosity, mindfulness, and keeping an open mind. By sharing our unique perspectives with others and allowing others to contribute to our mental growth, we are then open to solutions we haven't considered. An open and aware mind leads to a deeper connection, an adventurous life, and to solution-oriented thinking. We cannot enact real change until we first change our minds.
