This milestone extensive work combines the essentials of history – biography, chronology, political and economic background – with the observations, theories, principles, laws and equations that constitute the specifics of science. The 5800-page Encyclopedia arises from the conviction that the optimal perspective on science is through the lens of history, setting aside traditional divisions of discipline and specialty, and rising above geopolitical boundaries. Reaching from 4,200 BCE to the 21st century CE, the Encyclopedia tells (as the author himself puts it) "not only who did it and when it was done but also precisely what was done." The author, Ari Ben-Menahem, surveys 100 generations of great thinkers, offering 2070 detailed biographies of scientists, engineers, explorers and inventors, who left their mark on the history of science and technology. The span of coverage is all-encompassing: mathematics, philosophy, logic, physical and environmental sciences (including physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth and space sciences and cosmology), life sciences (biology, medicine, physiology, botany, zoology and biochemistry), associated engineering disciplines, and the social sciences (among them economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, linguistics and more). The six-volume Encyclopedia also includes 380 articles summarizing the time-line of ideas in the leading fields of science, technology, mathematics and philosophy, plus useful tables, figures and photos, and 20 ‘Science Progress Reports’ detailing scientific setbacks. Interspersed throughout are quotations, gathered from the wit and wisdom of sages, savants and scholars throughout the ages from antiquity to modern times.

This antiquarian book contains Wilhelm Stekel's 1923 treatise on nervous anxiety, "Conditions of Nervous Anxiety and their Treatment". A fascinating and informative analysis on the subject, this book will appeal to those with an interest in psychology and psychoanalysis, and constitutes a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The Nature of Repression", "Basic Concepts of Anxiety Neurosis", "Clinical Picture of Anxiety Neurosis: The Anxiety Attack", "Clinical Picture of Anxiety Neurosis: Anxiety Neurosis with Cardiac Phenomena", "Clinical Picture of Anxiety Neurosis: Digestive Disturbances", etcetera. Wilhelm Stekel (1868 - 1940) was an Austrian psychologist and physician. He was an early follower of the seminal Sigmund Freud, often described as Freud's most distinguished pupil and commonly hailed as one of the founding fathers of modern psychoanalytical methodology. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

El amor tal como se trata en este libro va más allá de atracciones sexuales, imágenes o ideas. Tiene que ver con la biología, con la sangre. Keleman habla del amor desde un punto de vista evolutivo, psicobiológico, somático. El amor es ante todo una verdad del cuerpo, una realidad somática. La intimidad se basa en compartir la excitación vital interna. El deseo y el altruismo están profundamente enraizados en la vida celular. Aprendemos o ignoramos qué es el amor en nuestro entorno familiar. Aprendemos a amar de niñ amamos como nos amaron y como nos enseñaron a hacerlo. Una respuesta de amor escasa, excesiva o equivocada durante las cuatro etapas básicas de la crianza, el cuidado infantil, el compartir adolescente y la cooperación juvenil, puede alterar la experiencia somática de la personalidad en cuanto a la forma de ser amado y originar en la etapa adulta un carácter rígido, denso, hinchado o colapsado. Estas alteraciones características de la forma natural de amar y ser amado, se reflejan de forma muy precisa en la relación de pareja y en todo caso pueden ser trabajadas en el recinto seguro de la psicoterapia corporal. Stanley Keleman (Brooklyn, Nueva York, 1931) es un psicoterapeuta estadounidense, pionero del estudio del cuerpo y su conexión con los aspectos emocionales, psicológicos, sexuales e imaginativos de la experiencia humana. Ha estado desarrollando la psicología somática desde los años 60. Vive en Berkeley, California, donde trabaja individualmente y con grupos en el Center for Energetic Studies, del cual es director. A través de sus escritos y de la práctica, impartiendo numerosos cursos también cada año en Europa, ha desarrollado una metodología y un marco de referencia conceptual para la vida del cuerpo.

This psychological crime thriller takes us inside the mind of a unique female serial killer, a prostitute who murdered seven adult men-a case with which the author was intimately involved. The issues raised by this high-profile criminal case remain unresolved to this day. Women, even prostitutes, have the right to self-defense in theory, but in practice, the story is more complicated. This book will challenge everything you ever thought about prostitutes, serial killers, and justice in America. Aileen Wuornos is a damaged soul, a genuine American outlaw, a symbol of women's rage, a symbol of what can happen to severely abused children, and of how our justice system fails women. Chesler's involvement with a serial killer has haunted her ever since. She speaks in Aileen Wuornos' voice, as well as in her own, and delivers an incisive, original, and dramatic portrait of a cognitively impaired, traumatized, and alcoholic woman who had endured so much pain in her short life. When she'd had enough, the results were deadly. This is a poignant, sometimes humorous, never-before-told behind-the-scenes tale. Wuornos' story is handled with great sensitivity, but also with realistic detachment by Chesler as she probes the telling moment, the telling phrase. Was Wuornos suffering from post-traumatic stress after a life lived on a "killing field?" Was she also "born evil?" So many prostitutes have been torture-murdered by serial killers-how did Wuornos, once prey, become a predator? Requiem for a Female Serial Killer will also haunt you. It won't let you put it down. Take a walk on the wild side. The ghost of Aileen Wuornos beckons.

This work and a previous one, The World of Art, were originally planned as a single book. The generosity of Mr. Harold Feldman and Mr. John F.Molloy enabled me to send a draft to various friends for criticism. As a result of the suggestions of several readers they now appear as independent though related volumes. Both are in good part the product of an interest in the arts long ago awakened by Eliseo Vivas, and encouraged, nourished, and enriched by Neil Welliver. It has been sustained by conversations with George Howe, King Lui Wu, Paul Rudolph, Peter Millard, Arthur Drexler, Erwin Hauer, Robert Engman, James Brooks, Charlotte Park, C.Marca-Relli, K.R. C.Greene, Howard Boatwright, Richard Sewall, Harry Berger, Cleanth Brooks, Janice Rule, Curt Conway, Kim Stanley, Lee Strasberg, Uta Hagen, Alfred Ryder, John Gassner, Eliot Elisofon, Jonathan Weiss, Robert Thorn, David Slavitt, and Scott Sullivan. A draft of this work was criticized in detail by Ellen Haring, Iredell Jenkins, K.R. C.Greene, Jonathan Weiss, and Richard Sewall. In addition it has had the benefit of comments from John Gassner, Louis Z.Hammer, Dorothy Walsh, Robert Herbert, Vincent Scully, Philip Johnson, Paul Rudolph, Peter Millard, James Brooks, I.C. Lieb, V.C. Chappell, Richard Bernstein, Scott Sullivan, David Slavitt, Theodore Weiss, Henri Peyre, Merce Cunningham, John Cage, and Robert Lowell. I am most grateful to them; they have made it possible to improve the book immeasurably. I have tried to follow the lead of the criticisms which I have received. Divergent vocabularies, outlooks, and stresses, however, have often proved to be great obstacles in the way of a clear and common understanding. None of the foregoing critics should be held accountable for any of the blunders or blurs the work contains. I am glad that this book is being published by Southern Illinois University Press. It is a source of great satisfaction to me that Mr. Vernon Sternberg and his ex...

Social Motivation, Justice, and the Moral Emotions proposes an attribution theory of interpersonal or social motivation that distinguishes between the role of thinking and feeling in determining action. The place of this theory within the larger fields of motivation and attributional analyses is explored. It features new thoughts concerning social motivation on such topics as help giving, aggression, achievement evaluation, compliance to commit a transgression, as well as new contributions to the understanding of social justice. Included also is material on moral emotions, with discussions of admiration, contempt, envy, gratitude, and other affects not considered in Professor Weiner's prior work. The text also contains previously unexamined topics regarding social inferences of arrogance and modesty and the role of mediators versus moderators in theory building. Divided into five chapters, this book: *Considers the logical development and structure of a proposed theory of social motivation and justice; *Reviews meta-analytic tests of the theory within the contexts of help giving and aggression and examines issues related to cultural and individual differences; *Focuses on moral emotions including an analysis of admiration, envy, gratitude, jealousy, scorn, and others; *Discusses conditions where reward decreases motivation while punishment augments strivings; and *Provides applications that are beneficial in the classroom, in therapy, and in training programs. Social Motivation, Justice, and the Moral Emotions appeals to practicing and research psychologists and advanced students in a variety of fields including social, educational, personality, political/legal, health, and clinical psychology. It will also serve as a supplement in courses on motivational psychology, emotion and motivation, altruism and/or pro-social behavior, aggression, social judgment, and morality. Also included is the raw material (e.g., questionnaires, surveys, etc.) for 13 experiments relating to core predictions of the proposed attribution theory.
