Book Description
Feminist philosophy seems to always exceed its own limits – it is dynamic, shifting, and in dialogue with other academic disciplines. The adjective “feminist” marks not so much a specific subfield of philosophy or topic that is studied, but a political sensibility, an engagement in practicing philosophy. The playful title ‘Purple Brains’ indicates a thinking that goes beyond established binaries, notably the gender binary signified by the colors pink and blue. As feminists, we face the challenge of finding our own place and inventing ways to understand and overcome discrimination and exclusion. Situated within a world we want to change, feminists cannot afford to reject unlikely interlocutors out of hand, but must instead engage in interdisciplinary, intergenerational and cross-fertilizing dialogues. This volume brings together 19 articles that practice feminist philosophy through an engagement with the work of Dutch philosopher Veronica Vasterling. As one of the pioneering women philosophers active in Dutch academia since the mid-1980s, Vasterling explicitly expanded her outlook to embrace feminist themes and authors. She stands out as a prominent figure in the exploration of the boundaries of feminism through critical dialogue across multiple perspectives. Her work not only explores neuropsychology through a feminist lens but also extends into domains such as critical phenomenology of gender and race, critical hermeneutics, and subjects including sexual difference, the philosophical oeuvre of Hannah Arendt, and that of Judith Butler.

It's Not Rocket Surgery, It's Brain Science! If you have a brain (spoiler alert: if you're reading this, you do!), you've probably wondered how and why it works the way it does (and why it sometimes...doesn't). What do dreams mean? Why do we fall in love? Can doing brain-teasers make us smarter? What about "smart drugs"? Dr. Alison Caldwell, a neuroscientist and Micah Caldwell, a licensed clinical therapist (and, together, the hosts of the popular YouTube series Neuro Transmissions) are here to answer those questions, and hundreds more you never thought to ask, such as...does your cat really love you? What can therapists learn from TRON? Can my diet make me smarter? Why do some people really like feet? And much, much more. Book jacket.

Book Description
The Recipe for harnessing the force of human excellence starts with decisions we make daily. We often base these decisions on what happens around us, our Environment, an Environment that is constantly changing. To reach greater levels of fulfillment, we must base our decisions on the "End Result" of who we intend to be as human beings. And while the discovery of this "Identity" is not an easy task, it is the only constant in a world that we constantly react to. Yet, when we Act "Intelligently" instead of Re-Act, our world changes and we create more success, better relationships, greater health and a more fulfilled life.

Tom and Huck Don't Live Here Anymore
Author: Ron Powers
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1429979445
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
From a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Tom and Huck Don't Live Here Anymore is a powerful, disturbing, and eye-opening dispatch from the homefront that will take its place alongside the works of Antony Lucas, Robert Coles, and Tracy Kidder. Ron Powers' hometown is Hannibal, Missouri, home of Mark Twain, and therefore birthplace of our image of boyhood itself. Powers returns to Hannibal to chronicle the horrific story of two killings, both committed by minors, and the trials that followed. Seamlessly weaving the narrative of the events in Hannibal with the national withering of the very concept of childhood, Powers exposes a fragmented adult society where children are left adrift, transforming isolation into violence. "Powers's storytelling style keeps such good control over the pacing, readers will know they're not headed for a disappointment at the ending." - Publishers Weekly
