Описание: A gripping tale that takes the reader on a midnight odyssey in the erratic life of one: Hector Iorio. Encouraged by his parents to pursue a degree in Mathematics at a leading university, Hector chooses to stay his cherished ambition of making a career for himself as an artist. Embarking on his freshman year, outside forces are pulling him in numerous directions as he struggles to reconcile the fate he has chosen to accept with the life he believes is his destiny. Closest to him is a sinister group of companions from his South Philadelphia neighborhood from whom he cannot - or will not - detach himself. Next, there is Gretchen, an outcast Manhattan socialite who relentlessly urges him to break free of the social norms that confine him and to do the work that he was put on this Earth to do. Finally, there is Leah - the broken doll - an emaciated drug abuser who is prone to violent outbursts and with whom he suffers a lengthy and stormy relationship. Hector`s parents believe him when he complains that it is the demands of his curriculum that prevent him from returning home for even a brief holiday visit, yet, unbeknownst to them, he is driving three hundred miles back to his old neighborhood every weekend to join with his friends and girlfriend Leah in their lifestyle of revelry and debauchery. Always caught up in the moment, the night comes quietly as the reader walks in Hector`s footsteps from a stable homelife to overwhelming academic challenges, to the exotic luxury of lavish mansions and penthouse apartments, and ultimately to the buried squalor of the city. Looming in the backdrop all the while is his slow descent into psychosis as he struggles with the bitter realization that he will never be the person he had hoped to be.

Описание:

A novel approach to classical elements as in Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Aether or the trigrams of the Chinese I Ching-based on immediate experience of space and time. Inspired by Kant's and Schopenhauer's takes on what exists a priori, "elements" are defined in terms of in/out and rest/move and are shown to resemble known elements to an astonishing degree, suggesting furthermore novel takes on seeing the world with potential to unify various contemporary views as in science, astrology, New Age, and more, into a coherent view that is at least qualitatively compatible with them all. This thin pocket book provides the core content of the website exactphilosophy.net preceded by a freshly written introduction. Take this book out into nature and contemplate it at a calm place far from contemporary noise.

Описание: Foundations, in both senses of the word, naturally play an important role in architecture. Histories and theories of architecture rely upon ideas of foundations and beginnings. On the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, the ETH Zurich's Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta) set out to address the problem of beginnings, looking at its own history and that of architecture in general while analyzing the role of founding myths in particular. As architecture's continual recourse to concepts such as the primitive hut or the three Vitruvian principles (firmness, utility and beauty) show, myths occupy an important place in professional discourse. The contributions to this issue of gta papers question the tradition of these myths, their potential for interpreting the past, and their role in the design of future projects.

Описание: A social psychologist focuses on a very common yet rarely discussed bias called the "fundamental attribution error," showing how being aware of this bias can improve our day-to-day understanding of others.

Social life involves making judgments about other people. Often these snap judgments turn out to be wrong when we overlook context. Social psychologists call this pervasive bias the "fundamental attribution error." This book explores the many ways in which this error creeps into our social interactions, frequently causing misunderstanding, hurt feelings, and negative treatment of others.

Psychologist Daniel R. Stalder examines common examples of this error, from road rage and misinterpreting facial expressions to "gaydar," victim blaming, and prejudice. The common denominator in these diverse examples is that we falsely assume inherent traits or intentions while overlooking situational factors that might explain a person's behavior.

Conversely in the actor-observer bias, we explain our own sometimes questionable behaviors by appealing to situational factors. For example, when you tailgate others, there's always a good reason, but when others tailgate you, they are obviously in the wrong.

Stalder also reveals little-known information about classic studies of context, considers both the upsides and downsides to bias, and shares numerous strategies to reduce bias.

Filled with interesting examples, new insights, and an abundance of research, this informative and entertaining book will help us understand each other and reduce conflict.

Описание: Si le journal de bord existe depuis des siecles, comme le journal maritime ou le journal intime, les types se sont toutefois diversifies, traduisant d’autres fonctions, comme le journal de voyage, de guerre, de terrain, de formation, d’apprentissage, etc. Ce qui les reunit est d’observer et de consigner au jour le jour les evenements face a des situations de destabilisation, de perte mais aussi de decouverte ou d’etonnement. Ces journaux sont des lieux inedits de «lecture» des dynamiques a l’?uvre dans des mobilites a la fois geographiques et symboliques des narrateurs: le chercheur-narrateur qui s’appuie sur un journal de terrain, le temoin-narrateur qui redige un journal de voyage et l’apprenti-narrateur qui tient un journal d’apprentissage ou de formation. Les auteurs tentent ici d’identifier les traces de ces processus a l’?uvre et de comprendre l’histoire de ces cheminements. Si ces journaux de bord sont des moyens d’apprehension de soi dans une relation dialectique avec l’autre, ils sont aussi un recit de soi, voyage en soi et revelation a soi.
