Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life

by Vimala Rodgers

1230.00  32开  176页

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

内容简介：

When we purposefully change our handwriting, we introduce attitudes that can improve our relationships, give us the impetus to achieve and take risks, and simply bring out the best in us. This is because our handwriting is a reflection of our innermost thoughts and feelings. When we fall in love, survive a serious illness, or change careers, our view of life is dramatically altered and, as a result, our handwriting patterns change. Conversely, desired transformations can result from intentionally changing the way specific letters are written:

* Stick to that diet by changing the letter T.
* Avoid being overlooked for that well-deserved promotion by changing the letter G.
* Reduce stress and cease juggling too many things at once by changing the letter S.
* Overcome shyness or stage fright by changing the letter A.

Included is an enlightening assessment test that identifies those personality traits requiring attention. Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life profoundly reveals that the key to making dreams come true is as simple as putting pen to paper.

The Irony of Free Speech

by Owen M. Fiss

0610.00  32开  98页

 

 

 

内容简介：

How free is the speech of someone who can't be heard? Not very - and this, Owen Fiss suggests is where the First Amendment comes in. He reframes the debate by showing how restrictions on political expenditures, hate speech, and pornography can be defended in terms of the First Amendment, not despite it. He reminds us that the state can be the friend of freedom, protecting and fostering speech that might otherwise die unheard, depriving our democracy of the full range and richness of its composition.

Rights Talk: The Impoverishment of Political Discourse

by Mary Ann Glendon

0498.00    32开    218页

 

 

 

内容简介：

Argues that the strident language of rights that has been on the rise since World War II has stifled genuine debate, negotiation, and compromise and ultimately threatens the same liberties it seeks to protect.

“Rights Talk will be of great value to all who are frustrated by the narrow and self-centered modes of political speech in the United States. Mary Ann Glendon’s familiarity with foreign legal systems gives her an unparalleled breadth of vision which expands and illuminates the possibilities for authentic communication between people today.”

                       --Justice Richard Neely, author of How Courts Govern America

Soul Made Flesh: The Discovery of the Brain- and How It Change the World

by Carl Zimmer

0498.00  32开  367页

 

 

 

内容简介：

Soul Made Flesh is the remarkable untold story of a dramatic turning point in history -- the exciting discovery of how the human brain works. In an unprecedented examination of how the secrets of the brain were revealed in seventeenth-century England, award-winning author Carl Zimmer tells an extraordinary tale that unfurls against a deadly backdrop of civil war, plague, and the Great Fire of London. At the beginning of that turbulent century, no one knew how the brain worked or even what it looked like intact. By the century's close, the science of the brain had taken root, helping to overturn many of the most common misconceptions and dominant philosophies about man, God, and the universe. Presiding over the rise of this new scientific paradigm was the founder of modern neurology, Thomas Willis, a fascinating, sympathetic, even heroic figure who stands at the center of an extraordinary group of scientists and philosophers known as the Oxford circle. Chronicled here in vivid detail are their groundbreaking revelations and often gory experiments that first enshrined the brain as the chemical engine of reason, emotion, and madness -- indeed as the very seat of the human soul.

 

 

 

 

作者简介：

Carl Zimmer’s work appears regularly in The New York Times, National Geographic, Newsweek, Discover, Natural History, and Science. A John S. Guggenheim Fellow, he has also received the Pan-American Health Organization Award for Excellence in International Health Reporting and the American Institute of Biological Sciences Media Award.
