Download or read book The Nature of Fear written by Daniel T. Blumstein and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading expert in animal behavior takes us into the wild to better understand and manage our fears. Fear, honed by millions of years of natural selection, kept our ancestors alive. Whether by slithering away, curling up in a ball, or standing still in the presence of a predator, humans and other animals have evolved complex behaviors in order to survive the hazards the world presents. But, despite our evolutionary endurance, we still have much to learn about how to manage our response to danger. For more than thirty years, Daniel Blumstein has been studying animals’ fear responses. His observations lead to a firm conclusion: fear preserves security, but at great cost. A foraging flock of birds expends valuable energy by quickly taking flight when a raptor appears. And though the birds might successfully escape, they leave their food source behind. Giant clams protect their valuable tissue by retracting their mantles and closing their shells when a shadow passes overhead, but then they are unable to photosynthesize, losing the capacity to grow. Among humans, fear is often an understandable and justifiable response to sources of threat, but it can exact a high toll on health and productivity. Delving into the evolutionary origins and ecological contexts of fear across species, The Nature of Fear considers what we can learn from our fellow animals—from successes and failures. By observing how animals leverage alarm to their advantage, we can develop new strategies for facing risks without panic.

Download or read book Clear Your Fears 7 Steps to Awaken Your Heart and Spirit written by Nina Larkin and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My mission in life focuses on empowering women. In this process, I developed seven steps to help a woman tap into their strengths and authentic self. True empowerment is an internal process, as where false empowerment is focusing on the outside world, such as material wants and approval from others. When we focus our energy only externally, it's OK but it feels never ending and isn't fully satisfying. There's nothing wrong with enjoying praise, material items and achieving. It's temporary, though. It is important to develop authentic empowerment. I'd love to help you start an incredible spiritual journey of self-exploration, clarity and self-love. My intention is to help you develop love, emotional support, authenticity, honest communication and purpose. The intention of my book is to share my experiences, create insights and help you tap into your own personal wisdom. My hopes are that you will use these practical tools to create a practice to help you feel truly empowered.

Download or read book Fear written by Salman Akhtar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with Freud's celebrated case of Little Hans, psychoanalysts and psychotherapists have been intrigued with the topic of fear. Eclipsed in theoretical writings by the term 'anxiety', fear remains a pervasive expression in day to day clinical work. Patients constantly talk about it. One implores that we cure him of his fear of dogs. Another offers the fear of aloneness as the rationale of her staying in a bad marriage. Yet another avoids all athletic activity due to the fear of physical injury. And a fourth one lives in utter denial of passing time to avoid facing his fear of death. Despite its ubiquitous presence, fear has received little direct attention in psychoanalytic literature. This book aims to fill this lacuna. It explicates various intensities of fear, e.g. apprehension, dread, panic, and terror. It delineates the boundaries between fear and anxiety and demonstrates how phobic states constitute an admixture of these two emotions.

Download or read book A Perfect Madness written by Frank H. Marsh and published by Brandylane Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2012 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the autumn of 1938 when Julia Kaufmann meets Erich Schmidt while studying medicine at the German University in Prague. With Hitler's army soon to invade the city and the terror of World War II looming, it is the worst of times for a Jew and a German to fall in love. As the excitement of the eugenics movement gives way to outright genocide, and the fear sweeping across Europe grows into madness, Julia and Erich find themselves forced to travel two very different paths--ones which will determine the fate of their love and, ultimately, the fate of their souls. A Perfect Madness takes us on a journey back to a dark time when the fight for survival often eclipsed the fight for the truth. Beautifully and provocatively written, it examines the crippling effects of fear on the human mind, asking painful questions of moral choice we cannot afford to leave unanswered. About the Author: Frank Marsh was a trial attorney for twenty-five years and then a university professor of philosophy, law, and bioethics. He has published six books on bioethics, numerous articles, and scripted documentaries dealing with medicine, genetics, and law. He also is the author of the novel Rebekka's Children.

Book excerpt: Returning home, Fallon discovers her father unconscious and their house overrun by men she doesn't know. The stakes are high, and the odds are stacked against her: her younger sister is on the brink of death, needing expensive medical treatment they can't afford. Driven by desperation, their father attempted the unthinkable—robbing the casino where Fallon works, only to fail disastrously. Leone Pressutti instills fear in anyone who crosses him. For five years working for him, she has never been on his radar until now. Fallon's boss is a notorious man in the underworld with a chilling proposition. He offers Fallon a dangerous chance to save her family: compete in and win a high-stakes poker championship, and he will cover her sister's medical expenses. Her freedom and her sister's life hang in the balance. But there's a catch—if Fallon loses, her father pays with his life, and she becomes Leone's. Fallon believes it's an easy win; she is no amateur, and she has one skill she thinks Leone doesn't know about, and that's counting cards. Fallon steps into the dangerous world of underground poker, where each hand brings her closer to salvation or ruin. As she nears the last table, Fallon finds herself drawn into a game far more complex and perilous than she ever imagined. The final hurdle? A showdown against Leone himself, where she learns the bitter truth: in this game of power and seduction, the house always wins.

Download or read book Fear and the Shaping of Early American Societies written by Lauric Henneton and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fear and the Shaping of Early American Societies is the first collection of essays to argue that fear permeated the colonial societies of 17th- and 18th-century America and to analyse its impact on the political decision-making processes from a variety of angles and locations. Indeed, the thirteen essays range from Canada to the Chesapeake, from New England to the Caribbean and from the Carolina Backcountry to Dutch Brazil. This volume assesses the typically American nature of fear factors and the responses they elicited in a transatlantic context. The essays further explore how the European colonists handled such challenges as Indian conspiracies, slave revolts, famine, “popery” and tyranny as well as werewolves and a dragon to build cohesive societies far from the metropolis. Contributors are: Sarah Barber, Benjamin Carp, Leslie Choquette, Anne-Claire Faucquez, Lauric Henneton, Elodie Peyrol-Kleiber, Susanne Lachenicht, Bertie Mandelblatt, Mark Meuwese, L. H. Roper, David L. Smith, Bertrand Van Ruymbeke, Christopher Vernon, and David Voorhees.

Book excerpt: A state-of-the-art professional golf course above ground; an equally state-of-the-art cemetery underneath that very same plot of land. For the first time in years, things are looking up for both the school and the entire community. But all is not as it appears to be in the quaint little village of Canterbury, nor for that matter on the hollowed grounds of St. Anselm's. Long before the golf course is ready for play, long before the "cemeterium" is ready for those in need of eternal rest, dead bodies have begun popping up. A case crying out for Detective Quentin P. Montgomery? Not exactly. Montgomery doesn't have time to track down some two-bit pretender to the throne. He's after bigger fish to fry. In fact, the biggest fish of them all. The Almighty Unsub.
