Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals," Charles Darwin delves into the profound interplay between physiology and emotion, offering a groundbreaking exploration of how feelings manifest outwardly across species. Employing meticulous observation and comparative analysis, Darwin meticulously catalogues various signs of emotion, ranging from facial expressions to bodily gestures, bridging the gap between human emotions and those of other animals. His literary style is characterized by careful rigor, accessible language, and a deep empathy for the subjects of his study, situating the work within the wider context of Victorian scientific thought and the burgeoning field of psychology. Charles Darwin, renowned for his seminal theory of evolution, rooted his studies in a profound curiosity about the natural world and the shared ancestry of all life. His scientific journey, shaped by his travels on the HMS Beagle and keen observations of diverse species, laid the groundwork for this interdisciplinary exploration of emotion. Through "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals," Darwin seeks to illuminate the instinctual aspects of emotional expression, revealing insights into both human and animal behavior. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the origins of emotional expression and the connections between species. Darwin's innovative approach not only enhances our understanding of emotions but also invites readers to consider the evolutionary continuity of psychological experiences. Dive into this compelling work, which remains influential in psychology, ethology, and the study of nonverbal communication.

Gender History - A Very Short...

Antoinette Burton

This volume introduces the field of gender history—its origins, development, reception, recalibrations, and frictions. It offers a set of working definitions of gender as a descriptive category and as a category of historical analysis, tracing the emergence, usage, and applicability of these entwined subjects. 
 
 
 
Inevitably political, gender history has taken aim at the broader field of historical narrative by asking who counts as a historical subject, what difference gender makes, and how attention to it subverts reigning assumptions of what power, culture, economics, and identity have been in the past—and what they are today. The book explores how gender analysis has changed interpretations of the histories of slavery, capitalism, migration, and empire. 
 
 
 
As a field, gender history has been extraordinarily influential in shaping several generations of scholars and students. And, as part of the movement toward gender equality that is key to modern western progress, gender history has been caught up in the culture wars that continue to shape post-global society. The practice of gender history has always run up against the forces of race, class, and sexuality that challenge the singularity of gender itself as an explanatory category of historical analysis. That powerful, unruly tension is at the heart of this Very Short Introduction.

Jeremiah - The World English...

Various Authors

Jeremiah (c. 650 - c. 570 BC), also called the "weeping prophet", was one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish tradition, Jeremiah authored the Book of Jeremiah, the Books of Kings and the Book of Lamentations, with the assistance and under the editorship of Baruch ben Neriah, his scribe and disciple. In addition to proclaiming many prophecies of Yahweh, the God of Israel, the Book of Jeremiah goes into detail regarding the prophet's private life, his experiences, and his imprisonment. Judaism and Christianity both consider the Book of Jeremiah part of their canon. Judaism regards Jeremiah as the second of the major prophets. Christianity holds him to be a prophet and his words are quoted in the New Testament. Islam also regards Jeremiah as a prophet and his narrative is recounted in Islamic tradition.

The Physics of Miraculous...

Joseph Selbie

During a near-death experience, an end-stage terminal cancer patient had a profound, emotionally transformative experience in which she let go of all fear—she rallied and became cancer free in a few short weeks. A devout woman, body twisted, wasted, and brought to the brink of death by years of multiple sclerosis, heard a Voice, stood up, and walked—she was healed in minutes. Although these and thousands of similarly amazing cases have been medically verified, most doctors and most people believe that such cases cannot be true because the science underlying modern medicine doesn't provide any explanation for how such rapid physical change could be possible. Medicine's underlying science, however, has changed little despite nearly a hundred years of breakthroughs in physics—breakthroughs that do provide scientific explanations for these cases. 
 
 
 
Modern physics' breakthroughs support millennia old spiritual traditions that suggest that not only is extraordinary, miraculous healing possible, but that we have innate soul powers—our emotions, personal beliefs, and our ability to connect to Spirit—that directly and powerfully determine our health and ability to self-heal. Modern physics and experiential spiritual traditions give us an unlimited view of health and healing that puts controllable influences, emotion, belief, and connection to Spirit, in charge.
