Havelock Ellis

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

Havelock Ellis's monumental work, "The Psychology of Sex," spans six volumes, offering an exhaustive exploration of sexual behavior, identity, and societal norms through a blend of psychological analysis and cultural critique. Written in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Ellis's pioneering approach intertwines scientific inquiry with a narrative style that is both accessible and richly detailed. This seminal text not only maps the biological and psychological underpinnings of human sexuality but also delves into broader themes of gender, morality, and the impact of societal constraints on sexual expression, positioning the work within the burgeoning field of sexology during a time of great socio-political change. Havelock Ellis, a prominent English physician and social reformer, brought a radical lens to topics often shrouded in taboo. His progressive views on sexuality, influenced by the early feminist movement and his collaboration with contemporary thinkers, shed light on the complexities of sexual identity and human behavior. Ellis's combination of clinical observation and humanistic philosophy reflects his commitment to destigmatizing sexual discourse, a mission that deeply informed his writing process. This landmark series is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of sexual psychology and the cultural implications of sexual identity. Ellis's insightful analysis resonates with contemporary discussions surrounding sexuality and offers historical context crucial for understanding modern perspectives. Readers will find themselves compelled by Ellis's lucid prose and thorough research, making this work an indispensable addition to both academic and personal libraries.

Making Mental Might - How to...

Bernard Patten

Doctor Bernard Patten―erstwhile Memory Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, founder of the first memory clinic at the Neurological Institute of New York, and author of scientific papers on memory therapy and memory problems―wants to help you to a better mind, a better memory, and, consequently, a better life. 
Memory degradation happens to everyone. Even people in good health forget where they park their cars or leave their reading glasses. Some draw a blank entering their PIN. Is the stove off? Cat fed? Door locked? Did you take your medication? Not sure? How come? These memory problems only get worse as we get older unless we employ mental exercises to improve memory now. 
Mountains of scientific research prove that mental exercise benefits the brain as much as physical exercise benefits the body. Mental gymnastics boosts brainpower, augments memory, and (in some cases) actually increases brain size. It can help prevent dementia, mental decline, and the much-feared Alzheimer's disease. 
Making Mental Might does not aim to increase your IQ or show you how to get smarter. It offers the proper mental training to look, sound, and perform worlds better. These techniques have helped hundreds of students at Rice University's School of Continuing Studies under Doctor Patten improve their working memory. They can do the same for you.
