Sinopsis

Lynn Thorndike'Äôs seminal work, "History of Magic and Experimental Science" (Volumes 1 & 2), is a groundbreaking exploration of the intricate interplay between magic, alchemy, and the nascent field of experimental science from antiquity to the Renaissance. Thorndike employs a meticulous historical approach, blending rigorous scholarship with an engaging narrative style that brings to life the evolution of scientific thought. The two volumes cover a spectrum of practices and beliefs, dissecting how magical traditions laid the groundwork for what would eventually become modern scientific inquiry, thus situating magic at the crux of intellectual history. Thorndike, a prominent historian of science in the early 20th century, drew on his extensive background in both philosophy and history to illuminate the often-overlooked connections between magic and science. His deep interest in the historical roots of scientific practices, coupled with a conviction that understanding these roots is crucial for comprehending modern science, propelled him to undertake this ambitious project. His work challenges the prevailing narrative that dismisses magic as mere superstition, instead arguing for its essential role in shaping scientific minds. This two-volume set is invaluable for scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the foundations of scientific thought. Thorndike'Äôs intricate narrative not only enriches our understanding of history but also encourages readers to reassess the boundaries between magic and science. It is a must-read for those who wish to grasp the profound interrelation of cultural beliefs and scientific advancement.

    SELF-REGULATION SKILLS - How To...

    Self-regulation can be defined in various ways. In the most basic sense, it involves controlling one's behavior, emotions, and thoughts to pursue long-term goals. More specifically, emotional self-regulation refers to managing disruptive emotions and impulses. In other words, to think before acting. It also reflects the ability to cheer yourself up after disappointments and work in a way consistent with your deepest values. 
    It's easy to see how a lack of self-regulation will cause problems in life. A child who yells or hits other children out of frustration will not be famous among peers and may face reprimands at school. An adult with poor self-regulation skills may lack self-confidence and self-esteem and have trouble handling stress and frustration. Often, this might be expressed in anger or anxiety. In more severe cases, it may be diagnosed as a mental disorder. 
    Self-regulation is also essential because it allows you to follow your deeply held values or social conscience and express yourself appropriately. If you value academic achievement, it will enable you to study instead of slack off before a test. 
    Many students do not possess the self-regulatory skills they need to become high academic performers.  
    Some students have found ways to regulate their learning and develop a system of control that shields them from motivational interference and conflict. Limiting distractions and using music to tune out distractions are students' most common self-regulatory strategies to manage motivational interference and conflict. Other students use athletics.

    The world has always been fascinated with ancient Egypt. When the Romans conquered Egypt, it was really Egypt that conquered the Romans. Cleopatra captivated both Caesar and Marc Antony and soon Roman ladies were worshipping Isis and wearing vials of Nile water around their necks. What is it about ancient Egypt that breeds such obsession and imitation? Egyptomania explores the burning fascination with all things Egyptian and the events that fanned the flames—from ancient times, to Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, to the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb by Howard Carter in the 1920s. For forty years, Bob Brier, one of the world's foremost Egyptologists, has been amassing one of the largest collections of Egyptian memorabilia and seeking to understand the pull of ancient Egypt on our world today. In this original and groundbreaking book, he explores our three-thousand-year-old fixation with recovering Egyptian culture and its meaning. He traces our enthrallment with the mummies that seem to have cheated death and the pyramids that as if they will last forever. Drawing on his personal collection—from Napoleon's twenty volume Egypt encyclopedia to Howard Carter's letters written from the Valley of the Kings as he was excavating—this is an inventive and mesmerizing tour of how an ancient civilization endures in ours today.
