Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My books are a self-expression of the many letdowns I have faced in life. Not only in love but also in the things that I have noticed in the world outside my circle. Understanding others is second nature to me, for I tend to reach out and touch those who fall subject to a life of being misunderstood, abused, and mistreated. Therefore, when I reach out, I reach with understanding and compassion to assist them through what I know I too have long suffered. However, in the process, I ran into many who have taken my kindness and desire for true love and passion as a form of weakness. Then there was the other side of me. The woman who stood strong no matter what the circumstances and fought for what she knew was right and faced many who felt that their position with me or in life would overtake the strength that I had inside as a woman. Needless to say, they too, in the end, were very disappointed. All because I know my worth.
Download or read book The Mind s Eye written by Oliver Sacks and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From “the poet laureate of medicine" (The New York Times) and the author of the classic The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat comes a fascinating exploration of the remarkable, unpredictable ways that our brains cope with the loss of sight by finding rich new forms of perception. “Elaborate and gorgeously detailed.... Again and again, Sacks invites readers to imagine their way into minds unlike their own, encouraging a radical form of empathy.” —Los Angeles Times With compassion and insight, Dr. Oliver Sacks again illuminates the mysteries of the brain by introducing us to some remarkable characters, including Pat, who remains a vivacious communicator despite the stroke that deprives her of speech, and Howard, a novelist who loses the ability to read. Sacks investigates those who can see perfectly well but are unable to recognize faces, even those of their own children. He describes totally blind people who navigate by touch and smell; and others who, ironically, become hyper-visual. Finally, he recounts his own battle with an eye tumor and the strange visual symptoms it caused. As he has done in classics like The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat and Awakenings, Dr. Sacks shows us that medicine is both an art and a science, and that our ability to imagine what it is to see with another person's mind is what makes us truly human.

Download or read book Through the Eyes of My Mind written by Bimal Ghosh and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of poems, Bimal Ghosh muses over a wide range of topics in a lucid, eclectic, and alliterative but nonconventional style of his own. rich in diversity; the poems are presented in five different clusters, and their tone chimes with the topics, creating an enjoyable symphony, in turn both delicate and subtle, or sad and pensive; spurring and rebellious, or cheerful and rhapsodic. The first two clusters of poems are somewhat wistful and Pensive, this changes in the next cluster where the poems stand out for their rebellious tone and hold a special appeal for people craving a better world. Adding further to the richness of the book's symphony, the miscellany of poems in the fourth cluster muses in a lighter vein, while those in the fifth (soaked in love and affection) are likely to be adored by sons, daughters, and their parents alike. Although the poems spring from spurs of emotions that are intensely personal, most are at the same time undoubtedly universal as they touch the chord of common human feelings of sadness and joy, despair and ecstasy, anger and empathy. All this makes this small collection of poems both distinctive and a delightful read. Book jacket.
Download or read book Boccaccio the Philosopher written by Filippo Andrei and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-07 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the tangled relationship between literary production and epistemological foundation as exemplified in one of the masterpieces of Italian literature. Filippo Andrei argues that Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron has a significant though concealed engagement with philosophy, and that the philosophical implications of its narratives can be understood through an epistemological approach to the text. He analyzes the influence of Dante, Petrarch, Thomas Aquinas, Aristotle, and other classical and medieval thinkers on Boccaccio's attitudes towards ethics and knowledge-seeking. Beyond providing an epistemological reading of the Decameron, this book also evaluates how a theoretical reflection on the nature of rhetoric and poetic imagination can ultimately elicit a theory of knowledge.

Download or read book The Mind at Hand written by Michael J. Strauss and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mind at Hand explores how artists, scientists, writers, and others - students and professionals alike - see their world, record it, revise it and come to know it. It is about the rough-drawn sketch, diagram, chart, or other graphic representation, and the focus these provide for creative work that follows from them. Such work could involve solving a problem, composing a musical score, proposing a hypothesis, creating a painting, and many other imaginative and inventive tasks. The book is for for visual learners of all kinds, for scientists as well as artists, and for anyone who keeps a journal, notebook, or lab book in order to think and create visually. It is also a book for teachers and educational administrators interested in learning about new active learning strategies involving drawing, and possible outcomes of these in classrooms. The formulas and symbols of chemistry, the diagrams and features of the landscape in geology, and the organisms and structures in biology, are all represented as images on pages or screens. Students create them when studying, problem-solving, and learning. Once in front of their eyes, they can be reconsidered, revised, and reconstructed into new images for further consideration and revision. It is how artists often create a painting or a sculpture, and how scientists come up with new hypotheses. This is how learning occurs, not only across disciplines, but in all kinds of creative endeavors, through a continuing process of creation, revision, and re-creation. It is drawing-to-learn.

Download or read book Decoding the Mind of God written by Margret Ann Kelly and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2011-07-06 with total page 741 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Decoding the Mind of God author O. M Kelly delves into the unconscious mind and discovers the secrets of the collective consciousness, showing how we can realize the potential of the human mind through belief in ourselves. The Laws of the universe are identical to the collective consciousness, they reveal an answer to every question we are capable of asking. We constantly receive these answers through the vibrations of the energy fields through our being, all without us knowing how to realign our intelligence with our unconscious mind. The truth remains hidden to us. Surprising as it may seem, the key to understanding ourselves lies in a mathematical language, which is the make-up of the unconscious mind. Kelly explores this language through the texts and myths of myriad cultures and belief systems, notwithstanding the truth of the science behind the Egyptian Hieroglyphs and the stories collected in the Bible. As we read this volume we realize that all of these stories are connected to our own story within. Kellys perceptions of the order of higher consciousness are framed by stories from her experiences of personal discovery and over twenty years of researching, lecturing and teaching all around the world. Once these codes are unveiled, we earn our freedom where we can release the fear in which humanity habitually traps itself, creating our accidents, diseases, why we die, right up to explaining extra terrestrial intelligence. This book exposes the secret codes of the universal language that will help us achieve the divine unity with the universe and ourselves.
