Sinopsis

Memory and Touch offers a fascinating exploration of how physical contact shapes our memories, emotions, and cognitive development through complex neurobiological mechanisms. This comprehensive work bridges the gap between cellular neuroscience and psychological understanding, revealing how touch receptors in our skin communicate with crucial brain regions like the hippocampus and amygdala to form lasting memories and emotional bonds.

 
The book methodically progresses from foundational concepts in neurobiology to practical applications, presenting three core themes: touch perception physiology, tactile experiences in memory formation, and physical contact's role in emotional development. Through a careful examination of laboratory studies, clinical observations, and cross-cultural research, readers discover how touch-based memory systems evolved and continue to influence human development, particularly relevant in our increasingly digital world where physical interactions are becoming less frequent.

 
What sets this book apart is its masterful integration of multiple disciplines, from evolutionary biology to educational theory, making complex concepts accessible to both academic and general readers. The authors support their central argument about touch's crucial role in memory formation with extensive research data, including functional MRI studies and longitudinal research.

 
The work concludes with practical recommendations for incorporating touch-based strategies in educational, therapeutic, and social contexts, making it invaluable for psychology students, healthcare professionals, and educators alike.

Prehistoric Warfare: The History...

Editors Charles River

Raymond C. Kelly, an anthropologist and ethnologist who has written extensively on societal inequality and subsequent warfare suggests that among the hunter-gatherer groups of Homo erectus, the population density was low enough to avoid armed conflict in most cases. In the same vein, a perception has persisted that during this less populated time of Earth’s history, life among the Homo species was relatively peaceful. Archaeologists have supported this theory through early cave art, little of which ever depicts humans hunting or killing each other explicitly. Kelly theorized that the migration out of Africa by Homo erectus 1.8 million years ago was “a natural consequence of conflict avoidance.” He believes that this general period of “Paleolithic warlessness” was to persist until the appearance of Homo sapiens approximately 350,000 years ago, and that it began with the occurrence of “economic and social shifts associated with sedentism.” 
However, depictions of humans pierced with arrows began to appear in the Aurignacian-Périgordian eras (30,000 years ago), and in the early Magdalenian era (17,000 years ago). A work of Mesolithic art (20,000 to 10,000 years ago) shows an explicit battle between groups of archers, and in Valencia, a group of three archers are seen surrounded by four of the similarly armed enemy in the Cova del Roure la Vella in Castellón. In the Ares del Maestrat in Alcañiz of Aragon, another work depicts warriors fleeing a group of eight archers, while a similar work at Val del Charco del Agua in Aragon shows seven archers with plumed headgear. Other examples show warriors in lines and columns with a “distinctly garbed leader at the front.”

Coming to You Wherever You Are -...

Kip Pegley

MTV Networks is the undisputed international music video gatekeeper, with stations from Australia to India, Russia to Brazil. Canada is one of the few countries to resist its global reach. Although the network has launched "MTV Canada" with an affiliate, that station limits its offerings primarily to talk shows and lifestyle programming. Many Canadians regard the Toronto-based MuchMusic as the nation's important domestic source of music videos—substantially different from, and superior to, American-based MTV. In her new study of the two music channels and their different cultures, Kip Pegley compares the musical and extra-musical content of MuchMusic and MTV, and examines how the stations construct their two distinct identities. Moving beyond analysis of individual videos, Pegley looks at the overall programming of each station, uncovers the well-hidden matrixes of power that dictate both which performers appear and what genres get the most airtime, and delves into how ideas of gender and race serve to "naturalize" distinct and complex nationalist ideologies. In so doing, she discovers why Canadians feel so protective of their music video station, and why they successfully have withstood the MTV invasion.

Mahamudra - How to Discover Our...

Lama Thubten Yeshe

Relish these direct, experiential meditation instructions from the author of the bestselling Introduction to Tantra.Lama Yeshe tells us that mahamudra is “the universal reality of emptiness, of nonduality” and its unique characteristic is its emphasis on meditation: “With mahamudra meditation there is no doctrine, no theology, no philosophy, no God, no Buddha. Mahamudra is only experience.”He relies on the First Panchen Lama’s well-known Root Text of Genden Mahamudra, which in a few short pages provides the pith instructions for, first, overcoming distraction and resting in meditative stillness on the clarity of one’s own mind, and then, with subtle awareness, penetrating its ultimate nature, its emptiness.As always, Lama Yeshe’s words are direct, funny, and incredibly encouraging. He gets us to go beyond ego’s addiction to a limited sense of self and to taste the lightness and expansiveness of our own true nature.
