Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Inspiring words from Never Give Up!'I believe the so-called 'impossible' is actually very often possible, if you're willing to work very hard, and if you realize that problems can become opportunities.''When I hear the word 'no' it becomes a challenge to me.''It's been said that what makes me accessible to people-aside from The Apprentice showing how I operate in the business world-is that I've faced tremendous adversity. It's something everyone can relate to. The difference may be in the amount of zeros after the numbers, but the point is, people can relate to difficulties. For example, I had such an amazing reversal of fortune in the early 1990s that I am listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the biggest financial turnaround in history. I don't recommend anyone aim for the same goal, but when you've been on the financial high wire, it gives you a certain perspective that might be helpful to other people. As one writer described the journey of life, No one gets out of this alive. That's a bit existential but when you're down a few billion dollars in the red, it can make you think in new dimensions . . . '.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The brain is an evolutionary triumph of neural engineering. Its capacity to seek knowledge and form generalized concepts is boundless. In this ground-breaking new study, Semir Zeki explores the enormously elegant and efficient machinery of the brain to analyze its products in creative disciplines and discover whether or not this intricate system brings different solutions to bear in solving problems in disparate fields.Splendors and Miseries of the Brain, which is derived from Balzac's novel of the same name, delves into the brain's key functions of obtaining knowledge and forming concepts about the world. While these functions have been more thoroughly documented in neurobiology's traditional disciplines--physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology, mathematics, and computer science, to name but a few--Zeki goes beyond these fields to scientifically study the products of the brain in literature, music, art, and other fields. By studying these fields, Zeki shows that we can reach important conclusions about how the brain functions and its common processes. He also examines the heavy price to be paid in terms of human happiness that comes with the exquisite capacity of the brain and shows how misery can ultimately be turned to advantage, due to its intimate link to creativity.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Renaissance interior is increasingly becoming a focus of historical debate. This volume brings together recent research drawing on the perspectives of an interdisciplinary group of scholars, combining innovative approaches, case studies, and methodological critiques.

Essays examine understudied spaces of the interior, such as baths and chapels, and offer new insights into more familiar topics such as identity, status, and family memory. Firmly grounded on a wide range of primary sources - ranging from visual and material evidence to archival documents - these contributions provide a genuinely fresh outlook on the Italian interior and will form a rich resource for scholars and students of the Renaissance.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The ethics of war is facing a profound and rapid transformation. A post-9/11 environment has generated many extraordinary changes domestically and abroad. The prosecution of the 'war on terror'; the prominance of 'asymmetric war' in combat operations; as well as a trend towards preventive wars, forcible regime change, detention without trial - and even torture, have placed legal institutions and ethical concepts under more strain than they have faced in over a generation.This collection of original essays represents the 'state of the art' of this topical and contested issue. Leading international scholars provide insightful and provocative analyses of some of the central moral problems of modern war. Under what circumstances is intervention in another state permissible Is assassination a permissible tactic in war Is there ever a justification for killing the innocent or torture This comprehensive book is accessible on many levels: as an excellent undergraduate teaching text, as required reading for scholars of military ethics, and as an introduction for non-experts to the modern debate on the ethics of war.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - China is rapidly becoming a world power. No longer a developing country, China's cities are undergoing transformations of historic proportions.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Existential psychology examines how people deal with the biggest issues - such as finding meaning in life and facing death. It deals with many of the same problems as psychoanalysis and analytical psychology, but emphasises the view that one can understand the life of another by listening to their way of seeing existence and opening up their 'phenomenal world'. As a therapeutic approach it is recognised by the British Psychological Society and taught on a number of courses. This introductory text discusses all the main contemporary theories of existential psychology, and illustrates them with case examples. Practical implications for clinical work are considered, and comparisons with other approaches such as humanistic psychotherapy are made throughout.
