The Right Way to Flourish : Reconnecting to the Real World by John R. Ehrenfeld English | 2020 | ISBN: 036724425X | 179 Pages | PDF/ePUB | 9 MB  Robert Hockey, "The Psychology of Fatigue: Work, Effort and Control" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1107477808, 0521762650 | 290 pages | PDF | 2.9 MB Fatigue can have a major impact on an individual's performance and wellbeing, yet is poorly understood, even within the scientific community. There is no developed theory of its origins or functions, and different types of fatigue (mental, physical, sleepiness) are routinely confused. The widespread interpretation of fatigue as a negative consequence of work may be true only for externally imposed goals; meaningful or self-initiated work is rarely tiring and often invigorating. In the first book dedicated to the systematic treatment of fatigue for over sixty years, Robert Hockey examines its many aspects - social history, neuroscience, energetics, exercise physiology, sleep and clinical implications - and develops a new motivational control theory, in which fatigue is treated as an emotion having a fundamental adaptive role in the management of goals. He then uses this new perspective to explore the role of fatigue in relation to individual motivation, working life and wellbeing.

The Nationalization of Hindu Traditions: Bharatendu Harischandra and Nineteenth-Century Banaras By Vasudha Dalmia 2010 | 530 Pages | ISBN: 8178243040 | PDF | 10 MB This book studies how a dominant strand of Hinduism in North India-the tradition which uses and misuses the slogan 'Hindi-Hindu-Hindustan'-came into being in the late nineteenth century. It uses the life and writings of Bharatendu Harischandra (often called the Father of Modern Hindi) as its focal point for an analysis of some of the vital cultural processes through which modern North India, as we experience it today, came to be formed.First published in 1997, this book has been widely recognized as a work of exceptional scholarship with politically vital implications. It is reissued now with a new Foreword by Francesca Orsini, highlighting the nature of its importance.  Karuna Cayton, "The Misleading Mind: How We Create Our Own Problems and How Buddhist Psychology Can Help Us Solve Them" English | ISBN: 1577319427 | 2012 | 224 pages | EPUB | 304 KB [center]  The Lives of Stone Tools: Crafting the Status, Skill, and Identity of Flintknappers By Kathryn Weedman Arthur 2018 | 328 Pages | ISBN: 0816537135 | PDF | 7 MB The Lives of Stone Toolsgives voice to the Indigenous Gamo lithic practitioners of southern Ethiopia. For the Gamo, their stone tools are alive, and their work in flintknapping is interwoven with status, skill, and the life histories of their stone tools.Anthropologist Kathryn Weedman Arthur offers insights from her more than twenty years working with the Gamo. She deftly addresses historical and present-day experiences and practices, privileging the Gamo's perspectives. Providing a rich, detailed look into the world of lithic technology, Arthur urges us to follow her into a world that recognizes Indigenous theories of material culture as valid alternatives to academic theories. In so doing, she subverts long-held Western perspectives concerning gender, skill, and lifeless status of inorganic matter.The book offers the perspectives that, contrary to long-held Western views, stone tools are living beings with a life course, and lithic technology is a reproductive process that should ideally include both male and female participation. Only individuals of particular lineages knowledgeable in the lives of stones may work with stone technology. Knappers acquire skill and status through incremental guided instruction corresponding to their own phases of maturation. The tools' lives parallel those of their knappers from birth (procurement), circumcision (knapping), maturation (use), seclusion (storage), and death (discardment).Given current expectations that the Gamo's lithic technology may disappear with the next generation,The Lives of Stone Toolsis a work of vital importance and possibly one of the last contemporaneous books about a population that engages with the craft daily. |
