Charlie Fox was no good at being the nice girl her parents wanted, so she joined Her Majesty's military and acquired a new set of skills. Now she puts them to use teaching self-defense to battered women in a refuge – passing on the finer points of roundhouse kicks, running like hell, and breaking a cheekbone when necessary. Her skills come in even handier when she takes a job working security at the Adelphi, a hot new club with an enigmatic owner. And they come in handiest of all when a rapist appears to be targeting the desperate women at the refuge, and someone with a very nasty line in knife-work appears to be targeting Charlie's friends.

Coming off her highly anticipated show at the Joshua Liner Gallery in New York City, we are proud to announce a long overdue monograph on this highly gifted artist. As a result of her rural upbringing in Arkansas, she inherited a closeness to the natural world, a lifelong imprint that informs her work. Her patron saints, John James Audubon and Ernst Haeckel, provide the artistic inspiration and painstaking attention to details of morphology whether real, or imagined. There are fascinating discoveries to be made in her work, from new species of nudibranchs to unexpected life forms that blur the lines of flora and fauna. We also discern flashpoints through unlikely pairings, perceptions of danger in tranquil settings a commentary on the fragility of life? Whatever the intent, there is a mesmerizing dialogue at work, encompassing both inner and outer worlds. Questions are posed and meticulously explored, and perhaps in the process, we get a little closer to the answers. Take a glimpse into hidden worlds where the mysteries of life still abound!

Nikolaas Tinbergen won a Nobel Prize in 1973 for his pioneering studies in animal behavior. The Study of Instinct, Tinbergen's first major work, introduced the subject of ethology to an American audience more than forty years ago, and it is still considered one of the best introductions to the field. Long out of print, this reissue of the 1969 edition allows a new generation of readers to explore this classic for themselves. In The Study of Instinct, Tinbergen attempts to organize the study of animal behavior into a coherent whole, focusing on how animals behave in response to stimuli, how physical and neurological characteristics shape instinct, how individual animals develop behavioral patterns, and how they adapt to changing conditions. He illustrates his discussion with fascinating examples taken from his own and other scientists' study of animals. Many of his renowned experiments using models of animals to test hypotheses about behavior are described, including his well-known study of the stickleback fish, in which he shows that it is indeed the red color of their undersides that allows males to single each other out for attack during their springtime competition. Tinbergen concludes with an extensive discussion of evolutionary aspects of behavior. The insights contained in this book paved the way for significant breakthroughs in our understanding of how animals behave in the wild. Anyone interested in the natural world, the behavior of animals, or ecology will find this book essential reading.

Optimal Putting: Brain Science, Instincts, and the Four Skills of Putting... A New Paradigm for Putting in the 21st Century - First Edition, January 2008 - 270 pp. - From the Dustjacket: Golf's "game within a game" -- putting -- has long been regarded by golfers as the "black art" that defies explanation. Despite the fact that strokes on the green typically account for nearly half of every golfer's score for every round ever played, and that the putter is used over twice as often as the driver, golf instruction has concentrated upon the full swing and has neglected putting. Until now. Geoff Mangum has studied the art and science of putting more widely and deeply than anyone in the game. Like a number of people before him, he found that golf instruction historically has failed to come to grips with the key issues for how to putt. Although every putt requires four skills -- the abilities to read the putt, aim the putter, stroke the ball where aimed, and control the pace or distance -- conventional golf lore seldom converns anything other than the stroke. Until now. Venturing outside golf for answers to the simple questions posed by the four skills of putting, Geoff Mangum's two decades of reserch directed him away from "what the putter does" and instead to "what the golfer does" to put well consistently. This in turn led him to the neuroscience of perception for targeting (reading, aiming and distance perception) and movement (stroke and touch), as well as biomechanics, anatomy, vision and related sciences. The result is a revolutionary new way to apply optimal techniques for instinctive putting. Geoff Mangum's innovative "Mechanics of Instincts" is an integrated system of simple but lethally effective techniques that help beginners and seasoned pros alike reach new levels of constant competence while firing dramatically lower scores. There has never been anything like this in golf. Until now. Welcome to the 21st century.

The Interactional Instinct explores the evolution of language from the theoretical view that language could have emerged without a biologically instantiated Universal Grammar. In the first part of the book, the authors speculate that a hominid group with a lexicon of about 600 words could combine these items to make larger meanings. Combinations that are successfully produced, comprehended, and learned become part of the language. Any combination that is incompatible with human mental capacities is abandoned. The authors argue for the emergence of language structure through interaction constrained by human psychology and physiology. In the second part of the book, the authors argue that language acquisition is based on an "interactional instinct" that emotionally entrains the infant on caregivers. This relationship provides children with a motivational and attentional mechanism that ensures their acquisition of language. In adult second language acquisition, the interactional instinct is no longer operating, but in some individuals with sufficient aptitude and motivation, successful second-language acquisition can be achieved. The Interactional Instinct presents a theory of language based on linguistic, evolutionary, and biological evidence indicating that language is a culturally inherited artifact that requires no a priori hard wiring of linguistic knowledge.

There are stories where the girl gets her prince, and they live happily ever after. (This is not one of those stories.) Jenna Lord's first sixteen years were not exactly a fairy tale. Her father is a controlling psycho and her mother is a drunk. She used to count on her older brother―until he shipped off to Iraq. And then, of course, there was the time she almost died in a fire. There are stories where the monster gets the girl, and everyone cries for his innocent victim. (This is not one of those stories either.) Mitch Anderson is many things: A dedicated teacher and coach. A caring husband. A man with a certain...magnetism. And there are stories where it's hard to be sure who's a prince and who's a monster, who is a victim and who should live happily ever after. (These are the most interesting stories of all.) Drowning Instinct is a novel of pain, deception, desperation, and love against the odds―and the rules.

A stunning anthology of the work of visionary stylist Lori Goldstein, whose interpretations of fashion and beauty have produced some of the most groundbreaking and iconic images in fashion and popular culture.Lori Goldstein: Style Is Instinct publishes for the first time in book form the work of one of the world's most highly regarded stylists. With a foreword by Steven Meisel, it features more than eighty astounding images that she created in collaboration with the world's finest photographers—including Annie Leibovitz, Mario Testino, Bruce Weber, Meisel, and many others—for fashion editorials, renowned advertising campaigns, and award-winning music videos. This striking volume captures Goldstein's personal credo, which has come to define her work—"everything goes with anything"—and displays her signature style, from her unique way of mixing and matching print and color to how she uses clothes to create images that go beyond glamour to the metaphysical, spiritual, and natural worlds.Four distinctive chapters—"The Sickness," "The Divine," "Harmonious Discord," and "Pop"—present these imaginative realms in alluring visual detail, accompanied by numerous personal anecdotes that provide insight into Goldstein's process of styling and her creative power, as well as the worlds of fashion, celebrity, and advertising. They highlight her talent for pushing beyond the edge of convention to create moments of individuality that transcend the norm as well as influence and transform our views on fashion, beauty, and popular culture. The publication of this extraordinary collection is a landmark in fashion and image making.

A panicked mother runs through highway traffic to save her wandering child. A green turtle swims hundreds of miles to return to the beach on which it was hatched. Your child utters her first word. Have you ever wondered what causes you to react in a certain way to a certain situation, and if you would react differently under different circumstances? From Charles Darwin to Malcolm Gladwell, writers and scientists have been fascinated by what prompts us to snap decisions. In Basic Instinct, neuroscientist Mark Blumberg provides readers with a logical perspective that does not rely on the clichéd explanations that have become so prevalent among scientists and laypeople alike. Blumberg delves into the debate between the nativists and evolutionary psychologists, who believe we are born with an instinctive knowledge about the world, and the epigeneticists, who believe that instincts are built anew in each of us, generation after generation. The result is an entertaining and balanced examination of the role of genes, experience, and evolution in the construction of behavior.
