In The Private Self, Arnold Modell contributes an interdisciplinary perspective in formulating a theory of the private self. A leading thinker in American psychoanalysis, Modell here studies selfhood by examining variations on the theme of the self in Freud and in the work of object relations theorists, self psychologists, and neuroscientists. Modell contends that the self is fundamentally paradoxical, in that it is at once dependent upon social affirmation and autonomous in generating itself from within. We create ourselves, he suggests, by selecting values that are endowed with private meanings.By thinking of the unconscious as a neurophysiological process, and the self as the subject and object of its own experience, Modell is able to explain how identity can persist in the flux of consciousness. He thus offers an exciting and original perspective for our understanding of the mind and the brain.

Nature's Economy is a wide-ranging investigation of ecology's past, first published in 1994. It traces the origins of the concept, discusses the thinkers who have shaped it, and shows how it in turn has shaped the modern perception of our place in nature. Our view of the living world is a product of culture, and the development of ecology since the eighteenth century has closely reflected society's changing concerns. Donald Worster focuses on these dramatic shifts in outlook and on the individuals whose work has expressed and influenced society's point of view. The book includes portraits of Linnaeus, Gilbert White, Darwin, Thoreau, and such key twentieth-century ecologists as Rachel Carson, Frederic Clements, Aldo Leopold, James Lovelock, and Eugene Odum.

★ 美國亞馬遜 4.5顆星好評！★ 《我家小孩的前世》作者——卡洛．鮑曼又一鉅著！如果你能在今生的此時此地，而不必等到未來在靈界，就能見到一個已故的摯愛親人，你會覺得怎麼樣呢？《我家小孩的前世》一書作者、轉世研究的先驅卡洛．鮑曼說，這是可能的。基於長久對幼兒的深入研究和直接觀察，她在這本開拓性的書籍中顯示已故的摯愛親人輪迴在同樣的家庭中是多麼普遍的現象。這些家庭分享他們的小孩自然而然地談到他們根本不認識的一位已故親人的事。卡洛．鮑曼十幾年來致力於兒童輪迴案例的收集和整理，而這些典型的家庭會分享他們孩子的經歷——有些年僅兩歲，還穿著尿布——如何自發性地講述他們從未認識的家庭成員生活中的私密細節。這些真實的故事為家庭關係的古老問題提供了諸多新的線索：我們選擇我們的父母嗎？什麼樣的關係能在死亡後繼續存在？流產或墮胎後的胎兒的靈魂會發生什麼樣的變化？作者鮑曼為那些失去摯愛並渴望再次團聚的人帶來了希望。而這些故事共通的教訓就是：死亡並不是生命的結束，而親人的關係則會因每日的輪迴，奇蹟般地在死後繼續著……好評推薦：「我總是發覺兒童的前世記憶特別引人入勝且令人信服。假如你讓你的小孩談論這些記憶，他們將有無懼地表達的自由。卡洛．鮑曼的這本書將幫助你了解與表達。」――布萊恩．魏斯（Brain Weiss），《前世今生》作者

Data-fixated readers will enjoy unpicking its main content: a series of elegantly produced maps, graphs and other visualisations. These are eclectic in scope and ambitious in intent.”—Jonathan Guthrie, Financial Times From the emergence of money in the ancient world to today’s interconnected landscape of high-frequency trading and cryptocurrency, the story of finance has always taken place on an international stage.Finance is one of the most globalized and networked of human activities, and one of the most important social technologies ever invented. This volume, the first visually based book dedicated to finance, uses graphics and maps to bring the complex and abstract world of finance down to earth, showing how geography is fundamental for understanding finance, and vice versa.

In this open access book, Carlos Montemayor illuminates the development of artificial intelligence (AI) by examining our drive to live a dignified life. He uses the notions of agency and attention to consider our pursuit of what is important. His method shows how the best way to guarantee value alignment between humans and potentially intelligent machines is through attention routines that satisfy similar needs.Setting out a theoretical framework for AI Montemayor acknowledges its legal, moral, and political implications and takes into account how epistemic agency differs from moral agency. Through his insightful comparisons between human and animal intelligence, Montemayor makes it clear why adopting a need-based attention approach justifies a humanitarian framework. This is an urgent, timely argument for developing AI technologies based on international human rights agreements.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycolle
