Download or read book Through the Rearview Mirror written by John Macnamara and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-09-22 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively book, John Macnamara shows how a number of important thinkers through the ages have approached problems of mental representation and the acquisition of knowledge. He discusses the relevance of these approaches to modern cognitive psychology, focusing on central themes that he believes have strongly influenced modern psychology. This is not a neutral historical survey, but a vehicle for Macnamara's compelling and provocative arguments on the relevance and worth of certain aspects of psychological and philosophical thought. The historical figures discussed are quite varied—from Plato to Thomas Jefferson to Sigmund Freud—and include numerous Christian philosophers such as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. The book assumes no previous background in the subject matter; Macnamara often simplifies abstract concepts via homespun examples (many using his beloved dog, Freddie). This is a quirky, engaging book, as well as the last work by a highly influential figure in cognitive psychology.

Book excerpt: Tales in a Rearview Mirror is a collection of true stories as told from the driver's seat of a Dublin taxi. Some are funny, some are sad, some are foolish and some are bittersweet. Pretty much like the people Donal Ruane observes as he reluctantly drives around the city. All human life is here. There's the criminal's girlfriend who's just bought a house for cash in "Fox-bleedin'-rock". The eccentric American looking for a hooker. The drunken northsider chancing his arm to share a taxi home with a south county darling. The mother and father of all family rows in Ballyfermot. And lots more besides. Tales in a Rearview Mirror is the real deal. It's a hugely entertaining, brilliantly written slice of real Dublin life that you won't get anywhere else. "An irresistable read." Gerry Ryan
Download or read book The Universe in the Rearview Mirror written by Dave Goldberg and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A great read… Goldberg is an excellent guide.”—Mario Livio, bestselling author of The Golden Ratio Physicist Dave Goldberg speeds across space, time and everything in between showing that our elegant universe—from the Higgs boson to antimatter to the most massive group of galaxies—is shaped by hidden symmetries that have driven all our recent discoveries about the universe and all the ones to come. Why is the sky dark at night? If there is anti-matter, can there be anti-people? Why are past, present, and future our only options? Saluting the brilliant but unsung female mathematician Emmy Noether as well as other giants of physics, Goldberg answers these questions and more, exuberantly demonstrating that symmetry is the big idea—and the key to what lies ahead.

Download or read book The Field Guide to Human Error Investigations written by Sidney Dekker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: This field guide assesses two views of human error - the old view, in which human error becomes the cause of an incident or accident, or the new view, in which human error is merely a symptom of deeper trouble within the system. The two parts of this guide concentrate on each view, leading towards an appreciation of the new view, in which human error is the starting point of an investigation, rather than its conclusion. The second part of this guide focuses on the circumstances which unfold around people, which causes their assessments and actions to change accordingly. It shows how to "reverse engineer" human error, which, like any other componant, needs to be put back together in a mishap investigation.

Download or read book Looking in the Rear View Mirror written by Doug Jensen and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2003-01-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title tells much about what this book is all about. Being 70 and a senior citizen made me stop and think, "How did this happen so fast?" With encouragement from my wife Gale, I decided that it was time to put down on paper the off-beat way I've looked at things, from child raising to the social scene. I've always had something to say and usually in a humorous or what some call a smart-ass way. Mainly, I wrote this for my offspring, to show them what "papa" was like and what our country was like when I was a boy back in the 30s and 40s. The things that were not around that they take for granted now. Also some things that were around then that I wish they could have experienced. Then there are some things that never change. I do know they would all agree after reading this book, "He just had to have the last word, didn't he!"
Download or read book Looking Through the Rearview Mirror written by Nancy Brinkley Weems and published by Genesis Communications Incorporated. This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journey of Spiritual Growth Looking back at the events of our lives, we can choose to see only the bad things that have occured. That was Nancy Weems' way of thinking until someone challenged it and caused her to appreciate all that God had done through her life. In Looking Through the Rearview Mirror, Weems begins with chronicling her years of growing up in the Miami of the 1960s. After the tragic deaths of her brother at a young age and then her cousin when she was 16, Weems began committing to paper the experiences she had and the lessons she learned. Culled from these writings and written from a mature perspective, this book shares the highlights of a journey spent walking with God. We may not be able to undo our past, but we can learn from it if we look through the rearview mirror of life. College students have raved about Looking Through the Rearview Mirror with comments such as, "The book is like having a conversation. It's so refreshing. It was written to people who need to be reminded that there is a God who loves them just as they are and that He is in control." and "I could identify with your thoughts and conclusions."
