Grieving Is Loving: Compassionate Words for Bearing the Unbearable by Joanne Cacciatore English | December 8th, 2020 | ISBN: 1614297010 | 136 pages | True EPUB | 1.92 MB In the style of a quote-a-day collection, this book from Wisdom's bestselling author Joanne Cacciatore distills down the award-winning book Bearing the Unbearable into easy-to-access small chunks, and includes much brand-new material, including new prose and poems from Dr. Jo and other sources as well.  Gender, Nature, and Nurture By Richard A. Lippa 2005 | 358 Pages | ISBN: 0805853456 | PDF | 20 MB This engaging text presents the latest scientific findings on gender differences, similarities, and variations--in sexuality, cognitive abilities, occupational preferences, personality, and social behaviors. The impact of nature and nurture on gender is examined from the perspectives of genetics, molecular biology, evolutionary theory, neuroanatomy, sociology, and psychology. The result is a balanced, fair-minded synthesis of diverse points of view. Dr. Lippa's text sympathetically summarizes each side of the nature-nurture debate, and in a witty imagined conversation between a personified ''nature'' and ''nurture,'' he identifies weaknesses in the arguments offered by both sides. His review defines gender, summarizes research on gender differences, examines the nature of masculinity and femininity, describes theories of gender, and presents a ''cascade model,'' which argues that nature and nurture weave together to form the complex tapestry known as gender. Gender, Nature, and Nurture, Second Edition features: *new research on sex differences in personality, moral thought, coping styles, sexual and antisocial behavior, and psychological adjustment; *the results of a new meta-analysis of sex differences in real-life measures of aggression; *new sections on non-hormonal direct genetic effects on sexual differentiation; hormones and maternal behavior; and on gender, work, and pay; and *expanded accounts of sex differences in children's play and activity levels; social learning theories of gender, and social constructionist views of gender. This lively ''primer'' is an ideal book for courses on gender studies, the psychology of women, or of men, and gender roles. Its wealth of updated information will stimulate the professional reader, and its accessible style will captivate the student and general reader.  Feedback Systems: Input-Output Properties By Charles A. Desoer, M. Vidyasagar 2008 | 284 Pages | ISBN: 0898716705 | PDF | 35 MB This book was the first and remains the only book to give a comprehensive treatment of the behavior of linear or nonlinear systems when they are connected in a closed-loop fashion, with the output of one system forming the input of the other. The study of the stability of such systems requires one to draw upon several branches of mathematics but most notably functional analysis. Feedback Systems: Input-Output Properties includes the most basic concepts of matrices and norms, the important fundamental theorems in input-output stability, and the requisite background material in advanced topics such as the small gain theorem and the passivity theorem. Audience: The text is appropriate for advanced graduate students and researchers in control theory, dynamical systems, and ordinary and partial differential equations. Contents: Preface to the Classics Edition; Preface; Acknowledgments; Note to the Reader; List of Symbols; Chapter I: Memoryless Nonlinearities; Chapter II: Norms; Chapter III: General Theorems; Chapter IV: Linear Systems; Chapter V: Applications of the Small Gain Theorem; Chapter VI: Passivity; Appendix A: Integrals and Series; Appendix B: Fourier Transforms; Appendix C: Convolution; Appendix D: Algebras; Appendix E: Bellman--Gronwall Lemma; References; Index  Family Homeopathy: A Practical Handbook for Home Treatment By Paul Callinan 1995 | 404 Pages | ISBN: 0879836873 | PDF | 2 MB A compendium of easy-to-use, inexpensive remedies designed to help the body heal itself from 250 ailments, ranging from acne to travel sickness to miscarriage, explains how to use natural ingredients in self-treatment.
