Book Description
Excerpt from Applied Character Analysis in Human Conservation During the past century millions of non-professional readers have increased their personal efficiency and have been given a better understanding of human nature through the study of choice books on phrenology. Most of those books that are still in print are written in an old terminology that does not meet the needs of the present. A number of books on human nature that have been written in recent years retain the old terminology. Our purpose in adding another book on character analysis, based upon the discoveries of Doctors Gall and Spurzheim, is to disseminate, in simplified form, the principles of the true science of mind in a terminology that is as near as possible to that used in the psychologies of the schools. Phrenology, like some other sciences, has been misunderstood, and has often been injured by people within the ranks who have tried to apply its principles without knowing much about them. Dr. Henry George Atkinson, F.G.S., of England, saw this danger when he said of popular phrenologists: "All were professors and few were students." The progress of phrenology has also been retarded by teachers of psychology who condemned it without knowing much about its principles. At the present time physiologists, criminologists and educators are giving more attention to Gall and phrenology than ever before. In presenting the discoveries here, and giving the methods used and their results in the language of Gall and Spurzheim and their scientific followers we are furnishing to unprejudiced minds an opportunity to investigate the beginning of inductive psychology and are at the same time simplifying the principles so that they can be understood by everybody. The author has devoted a lifetime to the investigation and application of these principles, and is convinced that the best service he can render humanity is to devote the rest of his life to disseminating them and introducing them into the schools and colleges, where they will become part of the educational equipment of every student.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize New York Times Bestseller A New York Times Notable Book and a Washington Post, Time, Oprah Magazine, Newsweek, Chicago Tribune, and Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2018 "The best novel ever written about trees, and really just one of the best novels, period." —Ann Patchett The Overstory, winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of—and paean to—the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.

The Book of Why
Author: Judea PearlPublisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465097618
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence "Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.
