Описание: Humans are not like other mammals. In fact, this book argues, across the animal kingdom we demonstrate unusual behaviour, rarely found except in one other group: birds. Exploring the pressures that influenced our evolution alongside that of birds can lead us to a greater understanding of both avian intelligence, and our own psychology.

Описание: "Akayama DanJay" is political satire and a psychedelic sci-fi remix of Epic Christian Poetry. The book focuses on three main characters. Professor Akayama pilots her giant space-robot which wields Heaven and Earth like a buzzsaw. Dan studies manga and religion on the Islands of Sheridan, where monks worship birds and eat centipedes to visit the afterlife. Jay travelogues the relationship between the two like Carlos Castaneda visiting The Naked Lunch. This book is filled with fascinating concepts and ideas that reflect on religion, dystopian futures, philosophy, and science fiction. When reading this book, you will be challenged by complexities that evoke existential thought and deep moral questions. Key topics include death and life, destruction and recreation, and crises of identity and sexuality. This is a must read for anyone looking for a metaphysical novel filled with satire that commentates on lifes profound concepts and abstractions.

Описание: This book provides a series of compelling evidence that shows that humans have innate fear of snakes. Building on the previous studies on the Snake Detection Theory (SDT), the author presents a summary of psychological and neuropsychological experiments to explain the fear of snakes in humans and primates. Readers will come to understand why and how we are afraid of snakes from an evolutionary perspective. The first half of the book discusses the history of psychological behaviorism and neobehaviorism. The latter half of the book consists mainly of the experimental studies performed by the author with a focus on three key items: First, compared with other animals, snakes especially draw the attention of primates and humans. Second, the ability of primates and humans to recognize snakes with particular efficiency. Third, processing mechanisms within the brain for snake detection is discussed from a new viewpoint. The book offers a unique resource for all primatologists, psychologists, neuroscientists, anthropologists, herpetologists, and biologists who are interested in the evolution of visual and cognitive systems, mechanisms of fear, snakes or primates.

Описание: This book reviews some of the most important scientific and philosophical theories concerning the nature of mind and consciousness. Current theories on the mind-body problem and the neural correlates of consciousness are presented through a series of biographical sketches of the most influential thinkers across the fields of philosophy of mind, psychology and neuroscience. The book is divided into two parts: the first is dedicated to philosophers of mind and the second, to neuroscientists/experimental psychologists. Each part comprises twenty short chapters, with each chapter being dedicated to one author. A brief introduction is given on his or her life and most important works and influences. The most influential theory/ies developed by each author are then carefully explained and examined with the aim of scrutinizing the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches to the nature of consciousness.
