I Want It Now

I Want It Now
Donna Bee-Gates, "I Want It Now"
English | ISBN: 0230602533 | 2007 | 256 pages | EPUB | 365 KB
In today's world of mega-stores and shop-til-you-drop mentality, people are spending more money than ever in an attempt to find fulfillment in their lives-and children are no exception. In fact, children and teens spend billions of dollars a year on clothes, entertainment, and fast food. In I Want It Now, parents are given the framework to understand how this culture of instant gratification influences their own and their children's spending habits. Bee-Gates discusses how using material goods as rewards or as emotional compensation affects young people's social and psychological development and the ways in which parents can counter materialism by fostering a strong self-concept, concern for others, and a sense of life's purpose in their children.

Human Rights and Positive Obligations to Healthcare
Maria-Artemis Kolliniati, "Human Rights and Positive Obligations to Healthcare: Reading the European Convention on Human Rights Through Joseph Raz's Theory of Rights"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 3848758520 | PDF | pages: 267 | 2.1 mb
Dieses Buch richtet sich an Wissenschaftler, die zur Europaischen Menschenrechtskonvention forschen und jene, die an Rechtsphilosophie interessiert sind. Es richtet sich auch an Richter und Anwalte, die mit der EMRK und insbesondere der Rechtsprechung zum Schutz der Gesundheit befasst sind. Studierenden bietet das Buch die Moglichkeit, ihre rechtsphilosophischen Kenntnisse der Menschenrechte und der EMRK zu vertiefen. Das Buch verfolgt drei Ziele: Erstens soll Joseph Raz' Doppeldimension der Menschenrechte als Theorie eines mittleren Wegs erortert werden, die Richtern helfen kann soziale Aspekte von Menschenrechten zu prufen. Zweitens wird argumentiert, dass Joseph Raz' Rechtsphilosophie als Ansatz der Doppeldimension der Menschenrechte und nicht als Interessentheorie verstanden werden sollte. Drittens soll dieses Buch sich nicht nur mit Menschenrechtstheorie befassen, sondern untersuchen, wie die Rechte der EMRK in der Rechtsprechung angewandt und interpretiert werden.

Human Evolution A Neuropsychological Perspective

Human Evolution A Neuropsychological Perspective
Human Evolution: A Neuropsychological Perspective By John L Bradshaw
1997 | 235 Pages | ISBN: 0863775047 | PDF | 5 MB
The last decade has seen an explosive burst of new information about human origins and our evolutionary status with respect to other species. We have long been considered unique as upright, bipedal creatures endowed with language, the ability to use tools, to think and introspect. We now know that other creatures may be more or less capable of similar behaviour, and that these human capacities in many cases have long evolutionary trajectories. Our information about such matters comes from a diverse variety of disciplines, including experimental and neuropsychology, primatology, ethology, archaeology, palaeontology, comparative linguistics and molecular biology. It is the interdisciplinary nature of the newly-emerging information which bears upon one of the profoundest scientific human questions - our origin and place in the animal kingdom, whether unique or otherwise - which makes the general topic so fascinating to layperson, student, and expert alike. The book attempts to integrate across a wide range of disciplines an evolutionary view of human psychology, with particular reference to language, praxis and aesthetics. A chapter on evolution, from the appearance of life to the earliest mammals, is followed by one which examines the appearance of primates, hominids and the advent of bipedalism. There follows a more detailed account of the various species of Homo, the morphology and origin of modern H. sapiens sapiens as seen from the archaeological/palaeontological and molecular-biological perspectives. The origins of art and an aesthetic sense in the Acheulian and Mousterian through to the Upper Palaeolithic are seen in the context of the psychology of art. Two chapters on language address its nature and realization centrally and peripherally, the prehistory and neuropsychology of speech, and evidence for speech and/or language in our hominid ancestors. A chapter on tool use and praxis examines such behaviour in other species, primate and non-primate, the neurology of praxis and its possible relation to language. Encephalization and the growth of the brain, phylogenetically and ontogenetically, and its relationship to intellectual capacity leads on finally to a consideration of intelligence, social intelligence, consciousness and self awareness. A final chapter reviews the issues covered. The book, of around 70.000 words of text, includes over 500 references over half of which date from 1994 or later.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) which is operated by NASA is providing a level of clarity that has never been seen before in the cosmos. Already, the observatory's spectacular ultrasharp infrared vision has cut through the cosmic dust to illuminate some of the earliest structures in the universe, as well as previously obscured stellar nurseries and spinning galaxies that are located hundreds of millions of light-years away. This has been made possible by the observatory's ability to see in the infrared spectrum.
