Download or read book A Book About Love written by Jonah Lehrer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Jonah Lehrer has a lot to offer the world….The book is interesting on nearly every page….Good writers make writing look easy, but what people like Lehrer do is not easy at all.” —David Brooks, The New York Times Book Review Science writer Jonah Lehrer explores the mysterious subject of love. Weaving together scientific studies from clinical psychologists, longitudinal studies of health and happiness, historical accounts and literary depictions, child-rearing manuals, and the language of online dating sites, Jonah Lehrer’s A Book About Love plumbs the most mysterious, most formative, most important impulse governing our lives. Love confuses and compels us—and it can destroy and define us. It has inspired our greatest poetry, defined our societies and our beliefs, and governs our biology. From the way infants attach to their parents, to the way we fall in love with another person, to the way some find a love for God or their pets, to the way we remember and mourn love after it ends, this book focuses on research that attempts, even in glancing ways, to deal with the long-term and the everyday. The most dangerous myth of love is that it’s easy, that we fall into the feeling and then the feeling takes care of itself. While we can easily measure the dopamine that causes the initial feelings of “falling” in love, the partnerships and devotions that last decades or longer remain a mystery. This book is about that mystery. Love, Lehrer argues, is not built solely on overwhelming passion, but, fascinatingly, on a set of skills to be cultivated over a lifetime.

Jonah Montgomery thought he had it all, an Army career he loved, Team Panther the men he'd bonded with as brothers, and, Matt, the man who owned his heart. But under the shadow of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, everything fell apart when Matt was captured in Afghanistan. It's taken him five years to reinvent himself and to build a new life as country music's singing soldier. All he needs and wants is his music and his sniper rifle, there's no longer any room in his life for matters of the heart. It was official PTSD sucked, it caused Matt Garrett to make the biggest mistake of his life. He shut down when he should have opened up, and he ran from Jonah when he should have talked to him instead. By the time he figured out which way was up, too much time had passed to fix the wrongs between him and the only man he's ever loved. He learned to suck it up and to figure out how this living thing worked without Jonah at his side. Now five years later a terrorist seeking revenge has come for Jonah. Will Matt take the opportunity a sniper's bullet provides? Can Team Panther find their missing brother in time? Will Matt and Jonah stand together or will the love they still have for each other falter under the weight of revenge?

Jonah, Chip, and Jonah's sister, Katherine, are plunged into a mystery that involves the FBI, a vast smuggling operation, an airplane that appeared out of nowhere -- and people who seem to appear and disappear at will. The kids discover they are caught in a battle between two opposing forces that want very different things for Jonah and Chip's lives. Do Jonah and Chip have any choice in the matter? And what should they choose when both alternatives are horrifying? With Found, Margaret Peterson Haddix begins a new series that promises to be every bit as suspenseful as her Shadow Children series -- which has sold more than 41/2 million copies -- and proves her, once again, to be a master of the page-turner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late 14th century produced a crop of brilliant writers: Chaucer, Langland and Gower. Their achievement was rivalled only by a series of four works generally agreed to have been written by a single northern author, known as the Gawain-Poet. This book introduces the reader to the Gawain-poet's four surviving works: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Patience, Pearl and Cleanness. The four poems are made accessible to the student by setting them in their relevant historical and cultural context and by developing some lines of critical argument. All studies are based on the author's own research and translations.
