Book excerpt: “There’s a hurricane smashing, trashing, bashing through our house. CRASH! BANG! WALLOP!” The hurricane is Wills, Chris’s thirteen-year-old brother. He has ADHD. Having a brother who causes so much chaos around the house is hard on eleven-year-old Chris. Sometimes Wills acts like he’s six years younger, sometimes like he’s only a toddler. He throws food on the floor, has tantrums, and teases Chris relentlessly. And when Chris and Wills’s dad moves out, everyone feels abandoned. Chris believes he has to be even more supportive towards his mom when sometimes all he wants to do is shout and scream just like Wills. In the wake of his parents’ divorce, Wills starts hanging out with a bad crowd, shoplifting, and not coming home directly after school. When Chris finds a stash of money under Wills’s mattress, he knows he is up to something bad. It is only when things get truly out of control that the two brothers manage to help each other, and even find some solutions for the problems they share. Sally Grindley captures the difficulties of living with ADHD and divorce, two of today’s most challenging family issues. Written for a wide audience of young readers, Hurricane Wills provides an honest narrative that balances daily hardship with the optimistic resiliency of a family that’s just trying to get by.

Book Ethics and the Will

    Book Details:
  • Author : Friedrich Waismann
  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2012-12-06
  • ISBN : 9401108285
  • Pages : 167 pages

Download or read book Ethics and the Will written by Friedrich Waismann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contribution made by the Vienna Circle to ethics and the philosophy of action is increasingly being recognized. Here two previously unpublished pieces by Moritz Schlick and his pupil Josef Schächter set the scene, showing how ethics is not dependent on metaphysics but does require a sensitivity to strata of language other than that of science. Schächter (author of Prolegomena to a Critical Grammar, also in the VCC, and now doyen of educational philosophers in Israel) further develops this ethical theme in a too little known study of pessimistic dicta that he published in 1938. He succeeds (without ever assenting to it) in giving sense to the idea that it were better for a man never to have been born. The bulk of the book is devoted to two works by Friedrich Waismann, probably written not long after his emigration to England, also in 1938. There are a paper on ethics and science, which defends the Wittgensteinian view that morality is something one cannot defend, but only profess, and (itself more than half the volume) a treatise on will and motive, where the influence of Wittgenstein is mediated by that of Ryle and where many points in modern theory of action are anticipated with the author's usual sensitivity both to language and to the complexity of the human situation. (Joachim Schulte recently edited these two works in the original German, otherwise they have remained unpublished). This valuable addition to the VCC should illuminate both the history of the Circle and the kind of reflection on language and action which dominates the practical philosophy of our own day.

Book The Will s Harmonic Motion

Download or read book The Will s Harmonic Motion written by Fadel Sabry and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the sixth and last edition. It revealed the ultimate truth and solved the riddle of existence. Based on Schopenhauer’s philosophy, completed it, and took it to higher level. Schopenhauer’s concept of the will and morality form the basis for this book. Schopenhauer taught that our moral character is inborn and unalterable, but provides no explanation being metaphysical. This book proved without any doubt that our moral character is assigned to us according to a specific, unalterable, and predictable system. It proved it scientifically and through daily observation of human conduct. It observed that moral characters change and move as a sine curve, i.e., harmonic motion. After establishing this groundbreaking theory of the Will’s Harmonic Motion, Sabry extended it to cover and explain many topics including animals, pleasure, creative and healing power, physical and metaphysical actions, death, religion, eternal justice, and salvation. The book outlines Sabry’s long journey experience in meditation that ended in enlightenment, and put it in simple and easy to follow procedure. The book boldly resolved the riddle of existence.

  • Pages : 341 pages

Download or read book How Our Ancestors Died written by Simon Wills and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2014-01-19 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What were the principal causes of death in the past? Could your ancestor have been affected? How was disease investigated and treated, and what did our ancestors think about the illnesses and the accidents that might befall them? Simon Willss fascinating survey of the diseases that had an impact on their lives seeks to answer these questions. His graphic, detailed account offers an unusual and informative view of the threats that our ancestors lived with and died of. He describes the common causes of death—cancer, cholera, dysentery, influenza, malaria, scurvy, smallpox, stroke, tuberculosis, typhus, yellow fever, venereal disease and the afflictions of old age. Alcoholism is included, as are childbirth and childhood infections, heart disease, mental illness and dementia. Accidents feature prominently road and rail accidents, accidents at work and death through addiction and abuse is covered as well as death through violence and war.Simon Willss work gives a vivid picture of the hazards our ancestors faced and their understanding of them. It also reveals how life and death have changed over the centuries, how medical science has advanced so that some once-mortal illnesses are now curable while others are just as deadly now as they were then. In addition to describing causes of death and setting them in the context of the times, his book shows readers how to find and interpret patient records, death certificates and other documents in order to gain an accurate impression of how their ancestors died.
