Download or read book Behave written by Robert M. Sapolsky and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 801 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller • Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize • One of the Washington Post's 10 Best Books of the Year “It’s no exaggeration to say that Behave is one of the best nonfiction books I’ve ever read.” —David P. Barash, The Wall Street Journal "It has my vote for science book of the year.” —Parul Sehgal, The New York Times "Immensely readable, often hilarious...Hands-down one of the best books I’ve read in years. I loved it." —Dina Temple-Raston, The Washington Post From the bestselling author of A Primate's Memoir and the forthcoming Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will comes a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior and an answer to the question: Why do we do the things we do? Behave is one of the most dazzling tours d’horizon of the science of human behavior ever attempted. Moving across a range of disciplines, Sapolsky—a neuroscientist and primatologist—uncovers the hidden story of our actions. Undertaking some of our thorniest questions relating to tribalism and xenophobia, hierarchy and competition, and war and peace, Behave is a towering achievement—a majestic synthesis of cutting-edge research and a heroic exploration of why we ultimately do the things we do . . . for good and for ill.
Download or read book Socratic Puzzles written by Robert Nozick and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the foremost philosophers of our time, Robert Nozick continues the Socratic tradition of investigation. This volume, which illustrates the originality, force, and scope of his work, also displays Nozick's trademark blending of extraordinary analytical rigor with intellectual playfulness. As such, Socratic Puzzles testifies to the great pleasure that both doing and reading philosophy can be. Comprising essays and philosophical fictions, classics and new work, the book ranges from Socrates to W. V. Quine, from the implications of an Israeli kibbutz to the flawed arguments of Ayn Rand. Nozick considers the figure of Socrates himself as well as the Socratic method (why is it a "method" of getting at the truth?). Many of these essays bring classic methods to bear on new questions about choice. How should you choose in a disconcerting situation ("Newcomb's Problem") when your decisions are completely predictable? Why do threats and not offers typically coerce our choices? How do we make moral judgments when we realize that our moral principles have exceptions? Other essays present new approaches to familiar intellectual puzzles, from the stress on simplicity in scientific hypotheses to the tendency of intellectuals to oppose capitalism. As up to date as the latest reflections on animal rights; as perennial as the essentials of aesthetic merit (doggerel by Isaac Newton goes to prove that changing our view of the world won't suffice); as whimsical as a look at how some philosophical problems might appear from God's point of view: these essays attest to the timeliness and timelessness of Nozick's thinking. With a personal introduction, in which Nozick discusses the origins, tools, and themes of his work, Socratic Puzzles demonstrates how philosophy can constitute a way of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's a puzzle. In an everyday small town in Texas, folks go about their everyday lives base on decisions in which they are placed in or they placed themselves in. Story 1: He fell backward as he came to a rest on the ground. "Ha, that's what you get for not paying attention." "DJ!" Maggie cried for him and jumped off the swing, almost hitting the ground wrong. She caught her balance and ran over to him. "Are you okay, big brother? Please be okay!" Tears were now forming in her eyes as she was being lifted from behind by her father. Story 2: "What's your name?" "Um, Mathew...Mathew Patrick." She wrote his name on a tag in a black magic marker. "Okay, who is your sponsor?" "Sponsor?" He was a bit confused. "Yeah, who invited you?" Before he was about to answer, she started to look him up and down. "You know, based on your looks, we can say that I was the one who invited you?" "Oh, now that you mentioned it. It was Donny." Story 3: He rubbed his arm. "Okay, so whatcha want to do now? Movies, dancing, or..." "Hey, let's go back to the pawnshop." Bobby had a confused look on his face. "But why?" "Because," she responded with attitude, "maybe, just maybe, we can..." She didn't want to get into explaining the reason. "Just go. You don't have to go in. I just want to see." They pulled into the parking lot, and she immediately got out. Bobby stayed in the car; he knew whatever he had in his head was probably not going to make her happy. After twenty-five minutes had gone by, she came out with a big smile on her face. She got in. "It can be done." He drove off, not sure if he wanted to know what she was talking about, but then again, he had to ask. "Okay, what can be done?" Story 4: "Okay, so I have nothing. I lost everything...screw it! I'm going back to the shelter. If I refuse to leave, then maybe they will call the cops and have me arrested or they will give me a place to stay at least." He thought about it and responded with a nothing-to-lose attitude. "Oh, hell with it, I got nothing to lose." He started to walk back to the shelter. Story 5: She was more confused than before; she had never sleepwalked a day in her life, so and how did she end up in her chair in the living room? She looked up at the clock in the middle of the mantle and noticed the time was 5:00 a.m., just a few more hours before the sun would be coming up. She yelled out for her husband, "Bernie...Bernie!" No answer. She got up, went to the window, and peered out. Regardless of the turnout, it is merely a decision in which we hope will turn out one way; but oftentimes, it turns out in a way we never saw coming. Follow along as these few selected individuals find out that it's a puzzle.
Download or read book The Prophets written by Robert Jones, Jr. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best Book of the Year NPR • The Washington Post • Boston Globe • TIME • USA Today • Entertainment Weekly • Real Simple • Parade • Buzzfeed • Electric Literature • LitHub • BookRiot • PopSugar • Goop • Library Journal • BookBub • KCRW • Finalist for the National Book Award • One of the New York Times Notable Books of the Year • One of the New York Times Best Historical Fiction of the Year • Instant New York Times Bestseller A singular and stunning debut novel about the forbidden union between two enslaved young men on a Deep South plantation, the refuge they find in each other, and a betrayal that threatens their existence. Isaiah was Samuel's and Samuel was Isaiah's. That was the way it was since the beginning, and the way it was to be until the end. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. But when an older man—a fellow slave—seeks to gain favor by preaching the master's gospel on the plantation, the enslaved begin to turn on their own. Isaiah and Samuel's love, which was once so simple, is seen as sinful and a clear danger to the plantation's harmony. With a lyricism reminiscent of Toni Morrison, Robert Jones, Jr., fiercely summons the voices of slaver and enslaved alike, from Isaiah and Samuel to the calculating slave master to the long line of women that surround them, women who have carried the soul of the plantation on their shoulders. As tensions build and the weight of centuries—of ancestors and future generations to come—culminates in a climactic reckoning, The Prophets fearlessly reveals the pain and suffering of inheritance, but is also shot through with hope, beauty, and truth, portraying the enormous, heroic power of love.
