Human beings have the unique ability to consciously reflect on the nature of the self. But reflection has its costs. We can ask what the self is, but as David Hume pointed out, the self, once reflected upon, may be nowhere to be found. The favored view is that we are material beings living in the material world. But if so, a host of destabilizing questions surface. If persons are just a sophisticated sort of animal, then what sense is there to the idea that we are free agents who control our own destinies? What makes the life of any animal, even one as sophisticated as Homo sapiens, worth anything? What place is there in a material world for God? And if there is no place for a God, then what hold can morality possibly have on us--why isn't everything allowed? Flanagan's collection of essays takes on these questions and more. He continues the old philosophical project of reconciling a scientific view of ourselves with a view of ourselves as agents of free will and meaning-makers. But to this project he brings the latest insights of neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychiatry, exploring topics such as whether the conscious mind can be explained scientifically, whether dreams are self-expressive or just noise, the moral socialization of children, and the nature of psychological phenomena such as multiple personality disorder and false memory syndrome. What emerges from these explorations is a liberating vision which can make sense of the self, agency, character transformation, and the value and worth of human life. Flanagan concludes that nothing about a scientific view of persons must lead to nihilism.

Linguists usually discuss language or dialects in terms of groups of speakers. Believing that patterns can be seen more clearly in the group than the individual, researchers often present group scores with no indication of the variation within the group. Even though linguists acknowledge that no two individuals speak alike, few study individual variation and voice. Barbara Johnstone makes a case for the individual's importance and idiosyncrasies in language and linguistics. Using theoretical arguments and discourse analysis, along with linguistic examples from a variety of speakers and settings, Johnstone illustrates how speakers draw on linguistic models associated with class, ethnicity, gender, and region, among others, to construct an individual voice. In doing so Johnstone shows that certain important questions in sociolinguistics and pragmatics can only be answered with reference to individual speakers. Johnstone's study is important both for the understanding of speech as expressive of self, and for the study of variation and mechanisms of linguistic choice and change.

How can Phileas express himself to Cybele when he doesn't have the right words to say? How can he tell her how he feels when he doesn't have enough money to buy the words? This book reveals the power of language and self-expression.

Nautilus Gold Award Winner, Children's Illustrated Cherry...Ruby...Chimes. How can such simple words mean so much?Phileas’ Fortune is a book about values, about the important things we want our children to learn: what really matters in life. This book is unique because its lessons sit softly on the beauty of the text and illustrations in a story about the power of words and self-expression.  On one level, it is a poetic evocation of how “less is more” and how what is in a child’s heart is more valuable than anything money can buy. Phileas demonstrates that heartfelt communication and human openness is more meaningful than showing off or bullying.  Values education is most effective at younger ages and this book speaks to the young child directly and simply, without lecture.  On its deeper level, therefore, Phileas’ Fortune is about positive developmental characteristics we can teach our children -- of caring for others, of being honest, of being modest.Phileas's Fortune is a sweet tale that reveals the power of words and of caring for others, of being honest and modest. What Phileas says is not nearly as important as how he says it. When Phileas expresses his love for Cybele, his humble words carry more weight than the more expensive, fancy words of a rich bully. And in the end, when Phileas expresses himself with sincerity and heart, Phileas finds more fortune than money could ever buy. 

The struggle for independence by minorities in the Middle East (those people who are non-Arab or non-Muslim) is affecting the political climate around the world. War and terrorism are threatening the safety of many minority communities and repression of minorities still remains standard state policy in some countries. This updated and revised edition of the 1991 original provides a wealth of historical and political detail for all the indigenous peoples of the Middle East. Pressed to persist in a threatening environment, these minorities (Kurds, Berbers, Baluchi, Druzes, 'Alawites, Armenians, Assyrians, Maronites, Sudanese Christians, Jews, Egyptian Copts, and others) share similar experiences and have been known to cooperate for shared goals. Important events and new trends regarding the welfare of these groups are covered, and numerous oral histories add to the new edition.

In his examination of 250 years of art history, the author explores the reciprocal relations between the production of art and its exhibition before the public. He investigates the history of the modern artist, whose connections with the exhibition of art in institutional settings--beginning in the 18th century--profoundly changed the definition of art and the artist's view of himself. 120 illustrations .

"An interesting, informative, well written book that does justice to the energy psychotherapy field."―USABP Journal While meridian-based therapies allow the health caregiver to assist persons with physical and/or emotional distress by tapping a sequence of specific acupoints, this comprehensive book is the first to describe the integration of the three aspects of the human vibrational matrix―the biofield, the energy centers, and the meridian pathways with their specific acupoints―and their relevance to emotional healing and increased creativity. Dorothea Hover-Kramer presents an integrative approach to these aspects of the human energy system and shows how interventions with them can be used singly or interactively to bring about emotional healing. In addition, the book clearly defines the present research and scientific basis related to therapeutic interventions from the energetic perspective of working with the human vibrational matrix. The ethics of introducing new and innovative methods are clearly elucidated to help practitioners to introduce energy therapies to appropriate clients. Case examples bring each of the major interventions to life and help the caregiver to access his or her own creative resources. In addition, specific exercises are presented to release limiting patterns, install empowering new beliefs, and access clients' creativity.

By using both halves of the brain, you can achieve more complete introspection and expand your spiritual consciousness. Hand-lettered, lay-flat pages make doodling easy. The book begins with an exercise designed to access inner guidance, creating a pathway for finding your own unique formula for self-expression. Spiritual Doodles and Mental Leapfrogs gives readers a private, powerful tool to experiment with creativity, to try something new, and to grow spiritually.

“Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,Cheerful, for freest action form'd under the laws divine,The Modern Man I sing.”                        -- from Leaves of Grass The newest in our series of bold-faced thoughts on classic works!  This pocket-size, volume offers an innovative take on a beloved American masterpiece: the first (1855) edition of Leaves of Grass, which consisted of an introduction by Whitman and merely twelve untitled poems.  Though it has now passed its 155th anniversary, Walt Whitman’s powerful poetry continues to inspire with its rich language, all-embracing populism, and boundless spirit. Whitman took it upon himself to establish a bold, sensual, new literary tradition that was distinctly American—and consciously set out to be at once the quintessential American poet and the voice of the common man. Leaves of Grass remains an enduring touchstone for writers everywhere, and for anyone who wants to get in touch with his or her own creative spirit. In addition to the text, this compact volume features highlighted passages, an introduction that relates the poems to today's perspective, and reflective writing exercises (with lined pages to write on).
