The Sustainable Homestead by Ferraro-Fanning, Angela; English | 2023 | ISBN: 0760380481 | 192 pages | True EPUB | 19.5 MB The Steps to War: An Empirical Study By Paul Domenic Senese, John A. Vasquez 2008 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0691134219 | PDF | 3 MB The question of what causes war has concerned statesmen since the time of Thucydides. The Steps to War utilizes new data on militarized interstate disputes from 1816 to 2001 to identify the factors that increase the probability that a crisis will escalate to war. In this book, Paul Senese and John Vasquez test one of the major behavioral explanations of war--the steps to war--by identifying the various factors that put two states at risk for war. Focusing on the era of classic international politics from 1816 to 1945, the Cold War, and the post-Cold War period, they look at the roles of territorial disputes, alliances, rivalry, and arms races and show how the likelihood of war increases significantly as these risk factors are combined. Senese and Vasquez argue that war is more likely in the presence of these factors because they increase threat perception and put both sides into a security dilemma.The Steps to War calls into question certain prevailing realist beliefs, like peace through strength, demonstrating how threatening to use force and engaging in power politics is more likely to lead to war than to peace.

The Soul of Desire: Discovering the Neuroscience of Longing, Beauty, and Community by Curt Thompson, Makoto Fujimura English | October 5, 2021 | ISBN: 1514002108 | 248 pages | PDF (Converted) | 4.76 Mb Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist The Soul in Soulless Psychology English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009301217 | 323 Pages | PDF | 2 MB Modern psychology began with a rejection of the 'soul' as relevant for the science. How did that come about? The Soul in Soulless Psychology explores that question and details arguments for a soulless psychology. However, there was also opposition to this notion. This alternative history of psychology examines those who dissented from a 'psychology without a soul,' including Neoscholastic psychologists and others, such as Ladd, Münsterberg, and McDougall. Substitutions for the soul - such as self, personality, and the brain - show that even with the soul absent, its concerns were present. Innovative re-thinkings of the soul are addressed, as well as attempts at restoration of the soul into psychology. Moreover, historical psychologies of the soul kept the soul in view. In the twenty-first century, we find soul as a noun, an adjective, and a verb, all pointing to the necessity of the soul for psychology.
