Summary

This 3-volume book features a comprehensive collection of most significant scientific, political and speculative essays by Herbert Spencer. The first volume is made up of essays in which the idea of evolution, general or special is dominant. In the second volume essays dealing with philosophical questions, with abstract and concrete science, and with aesthetics, are brought together; but though all of them are tacitly evolutionary, their evolutionism is an incidental rather than a necessary trait. The ethical, political, and social essays composing the third volume, though mostly written from the evolution point of view, have for their more immediate purposes the enunciation of doctrines which are directly practical in their bearings. Volume 1: The Development Hypothesis Progress: Its Law and Cause Transcendental Physiology The Nebular Hypothesis Illogical Geology Bain on the Emotions and the Will The Social Organism The Origin of Animal Worship Morals and Moral Sentiments The Comparative Psychology of Man Mr. Martineau on Evolution The Factors of Organic Evolution Volume 2: The Genesis of Science The Classification of the Sciences Reasons for Dissenting From the Philosophy of M. Comte On Laws in General, and the Order of Their Discovery The Valuation of Evidence What is Electricity?

    Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace had a remarkable friendship and were the co-discoverers of the key mechanism behind evolution which was natural selection. Though they disagreed over the nature of the human mind, they admired and respected each other throughout their lives. Wallace, to his great credit and humility, always deferred to Darwin as the great architect of evolution by natural selection, even while Darwin praised Wallace for providing the most succinct explanation of how the process works in nature. This is a full record of their correspondence

    The Long Fix - Solving America's...

    In The Long Fix, physician and health care CEO Vivian S. Lee, MD, cuts to the heart of the health care crisis. The problem with the way medicine is practiced, she explains, is not so much who's paying, it's what we are paying for. Insurers, employers, the government, and individuals pay for every procedure, prescription, and lab test, whether or not it makes us better—and that is both backward and dangerous.Dr. Lee proposes turning the way we receive care completely inside out. When doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies are paid to keep people healthy, care improves and costs decrease. Lee shares inspiring examples of how this has been done, from physicians' practices that prioritize preventative care, to hospitals that adapt lessons from manufacturing plants to make them safer, to health care organizations that share online how much care costs and how well each physician is caring for patients.Using clear and compelling language, Dr. Lee paints a picture that is both realistic and optimistic. It may not be a quick fix, but her concrete action plan for reform—for employers and other payers, patients, clinicians, and policy makers—can reinvent health care, and create a less costly, more efficient, and healthier system for all.

    A guided meditation designed to help you become the lightest, tightest, brightest version of YOU. 
    Losing weight is a Number One challenge for so many of us. But despite the billion-dollar weight loss industry pushing pills and powders and special potions on us, most of us are still piling the pounds on. 
    The secret of health doesn’t come in the form of a special supplement or 
    a Keto only diet or hours of pumping those legs in that cycling class. 
    In fact, the key to health is not a physical game at all. 
    Health is a MIND game. 
    You want to access health? You will need to shift your mindset.  
    This guided meditation will help you reset your mindset to put you on the right path to eating healthfully, shedding weight and feeling good about yourself. It will help you lose extra pounds, gain energy and feel more confident. You will turn your back on everything holding you back: stress eating, food addictions, and much more. 
    This guided meditation comes with two valuable ‘extras’: 
    1.	2 different endings. Besides the actual guided meditation itself, you will receive a choice of a ‘sleep’ or ‘wake’ ending depending on whether you are listening in the morning or evening. 
    2.	A deep sleep music track. If you choose a sleep ending, this track will help deepen your sleep after you have completed your meditation session.  
    Hi:) I’m Amy Applebaum. And I’m really glad you are here!As a business owner who has made millions and a Life Success coach who has coached dozens of ambitious women (and some men), I believe very strongly that success is just as much about ‘how you think’ as it is ‘what you do’. 
    Success is first and foremost an Inside Job. 
    I have seen it in my own life. 
    I’ve seen it with the entrepreneurs and industry leaders I have worked with whose lives have been wildly transformed just by changing their thoughts and then taking actions on those new beliefs. 
    Let’s face it. We have a lot on our plate. And those of us who are running our own businesses even more so. 
    We are giving so much to the world around us. 
    But things won’t shift until we get those birds on our shoulders to stop the negative chitchat. 
    And the best fastest way to cut the self-doubt in its tracks is through meditation. 
    And I make doing meditation dead easy. 
    My MOVE collections are guided meditations. 
    You don’t have to learn the ‘ins and outs ’of meditation. So that you can finally live the life you have always wanted! 
    This download has changed my life. I have been listening daily and my self-image has not only improved but I have been more motivated to stick with my promises regarding healthy eating and exercising and have lost 5 lbs. because of it!” ~ Michelle Anderson, Chiropractor & Yoga Instructor 
    Isn’t it time?  
    Isn’t it time to set aside the roadblocks that are impeding you from being the lightest, tightest, brightest possible version of you?And it’s so easy. 
    Just put the earbuds in and listen. 
    Nothing simpler. 
    All you need to do to open the door to healthy living the EASY way 
    is waiting for you here.
