Area 51: The Dreamland Chronicles
by David DarlingtonArea 51, Dreamland, Groom Lake, Paradise Ranch, Watertown Strip, the Box: all refer to the top-secret research installation, located a hundred miles north of Las Vegas, which, for many, has come to stand for all that is shadowy and nefarious about the military-industrial-intelligence complex. Built under the direction of the CIA in the 1950s, the base served as the original test site for the U-2 spy plane and F-117 stealth fighter jet. In more recent years, Area 51 has spurred public interest from its role in the government's $30 billion "Black Budget," from legal claims of worker illness due to toxic burning, and from sensational charges about captured alien spacecraft. It has also given birth to a feisty guerrilla subculture bent on exploding the secrecy surrounding this mysterious spot. David Darlington unfolds the history, legs, and characters involved with Area 51, weaving a weird tale of intrigue and outrage and UFOs that speaks volumes about popular culture and American democracy at the of the twentieth century.

ARGENTINA ANSIOLITICA, LA (EBOOK)
by Valeria M. ShapiraISTORIAS COTIDIANAS SOBRE LA MEDICALIZACIÓN DE LA VIDA Un hombre que llega a la guardia de una clínica con síntomas de ataque de pánico, una abuela que discute con el cura de la iglesia sobre su necesidad de visitar a un psiquiatra, un ejecutivo que odia las pastillas y prefiere el diván, una mujer fóbica a los aviones que nunca viaja sin su pastilla "mágica" o una chica que logró terminar su carrera con la ayuda de ansiolíticos son algunos de los personajes anónimos que transitan las páginas de este libro. Durante los últimos años, en ese sector de la población que todavía llamamos "clase media" se instaló una costumbre cada vez más difundida: la de salir a la calle con un ansiolítico en el bolsillo. Si bien se trata de un fenómeno que se repite en otras grandes capitales, la forma en que nos relacionamos con estas pastillas presenta sus particularidades a nivel local. La Argentina ansiolítica recoge historias de vida de argentinos que tienen o tuvieron un vínculo con esos medicamentos que la ciencia consiguió mejorar desde los años 70, y cuyo uso suele vincularse con la denominada "medicalización de la vida cotidiana". Con una prosa ágil, directa y nunca exenta de humor, Valeria Shapira abre las puertas a esa realidad que pasa delante de nuestros ojos, sin pretender planteos técnicos o cientificistas en torno de estas drogas que hoy se cuentan entre las más vendidas. Más que entregar fórmulas, la autora abre preguntas: por qué todavía estigmatizamos a quienes toman ansiolíticos? Es necesario enfrentar las pastillas y el diván, en un país con tradición psicoanalítica tan fuerte? Pretendemos tratar las crisis nacionales con remedios, en lugar de buscar soluciones políticas o económicas? Quién se atreve a negar que vivimos automedicados? La Argentina ansiolítica invita a conocer, sin prejuicios, los caminos que cada uno busca para lidiar con su ansiedad en este rincón del mundo donde la angustia y la incertidumbre cotidianas son parte de nuestra marca país.
ARGENTINA BIPOLAR, LA (EBOOK)
by M. MORA Y ARAUJOEl título de este libro sugiere un diagnóstico. Los síntomas básicos de la bipolaridad son fuertes cambios en un corto período. Esta es la "enfermedad" de la sociedad argentina y la hipótesis de la que se vale Manuel Mora y Araujo para encarar esta valiosa investigación, que recorre y analiza el comportamiento pendular de la opinión pública desde el regreso de la democracia hasta la actualidad. La sociedad argentina ha apoyado entusiastamente a gobiernos que poco después ha odiado; ha proyectado sus inseguridades en líderes políticos fuertes y, pasado algún tiempo, ha elegido personalidades débiles. En esta suerte de bipolaridad, un estado de ánimo sigue al otro exhibiendo cierta circularidad. De la euforia a la depresión, de la manía al pesimismo. Con los datos de las investigaciones de opinión pública realizadas en nuestro país en los últimos veinticinco años, La Argentina bipolar muestra una aguda aproximación a la realidad contemporánea, independiente de las preferencias de quien observa. Un ensayo indispensable para entender los procesos políticos que han tenido lugar desde 1983.
Argentina zombie: Historia oculta de la patria

Arguing About Human Nature: Contemporary Debates
by Stephen M. Downes Edouard MacheryArguing About Human Nature covers recent debates--arising from biology, philosophy, psychology, and physical anthropology--that together systematically examine what it means to be human.

Authors include Louise Anthony, Patrick Bateson, David Buller, John Dupre, Paul Griffiths, Sally Haslanger, Richard Lewontin, Ron Mallon, and E. O. Wilson.

Ariadne's Thread: A Workbook of Goddess Magic
by Shekhinah MountainwaterAccording to ancient myths, the Goddess Ariadne fared poorly. But is that simply the story the Ancient Greeks wanted retold in their myths? In Ariadne's Thread, Shekhinah Mountainwater argues that reclaiming womanhood and seeking spiritual liberation from patriarchal limitations can change the world--not by flipping the tables to a hierarchical matriarchy but in working toward a peaceful, egalitarian, sustainable society that embraces the traditionally "feminine" values of compassion and nurturing regardless of gender. She looks carefully and with wisdom at the old stories, and skillfully tugs the loose edges of old paradigms. A pioneer of the Goddess feminist movement, Mountainwater employs powerful archetypes and a feminist ethic of care to challenge our assumptions and draw us from the mundane into the mysterious in our own lives. Considered a classic of women's spirituality and goddess worship, Ariadne's Thread offers a magical path of discovery into the mysteries of the Goddess. It includes detailed explorations of the Maiden, Mother, and Crone guiding the cycles of life, as well as rituals to affirm our lunar and natural cycles in the world. As the Library Journal writes, this "well-written book encourages women to find their own spiritual path." Offering her own thread to guide our labyrinth, Mountainwater has illuminated a powerful, poetic, and joyful initiation.

Ariete: Crisomallo (Mitologia nei segni dello zodiaco #1)
by Abrahan David Zaracho A.L’origine mitologica della costellazione dell’Ariete ha un protagonista particolare: Crisomallo. Figlio di un dio, avventuriero, nobile e sincero. L’ariete dotato di lana d’oro fu amico sincero e fedele di Ermes e Apollo, protettore e consigliere di un’emblematico re greco. Ammirato come divinità e, in seguito alla sua morte, la sua pelle si convertì in un prezioso artefatto reclamato tanto da Ares come sua armatura preferita quanto dagli uomini. Crisomallo fu un potente personaggio tragico, protagonista della storia degli eroi antichi. La sua storia è il preludio alla più grande avventura degli antichi eroi greci. Il vello d’oro prima di essere un inerte trofeo fu Crisomallo, un ariete dorato amante delle storie, avventure, competizioni e sopratutto dei suoi amici e alleati.
Aristotelian Subjectivism: Francisco Suárez’s Philosophy of Perception (Studies in the History of Philosophy of Mind #28)
by Daniel HeiderThis monograph presents new material on Francisco Suárez’s comprehensive theory of sense perception. The core theme is perceptual intentionality in Suárez’s theory of the senses, external and internal, as presented in his Commentaria una cum quaestionibus in libros Aristotelis De anima published in 1621. The author targets the question of the multistage genesis of perceptual acts by considering the ontological “items” involved in the procession of sensory information. However, the structural issue is not left aside, and the nature of the relationship due to which our perceptions are mental representations of this or that object is also considered. The heuristic historiographical background includes not only the theories of classical authors, such as Aristotle and Aquinas, but also those of late medieval authors of the fourteenth century. These are headed by John Duns Scotus, John of Jandun, Peter Auriol and Peter John Olivi. Readers will discover the differences between Suárez’s and Aquinas’s views, as well as other sources that may have served as positive inspiration for the Jesuit’s theory. By considering the late medieval philosophy of the fourteenth century, this book helps, to a certain extent, to fill a gap in the historiography of philosophy regarding the link between late medieval and early modern scholasticism. In the first part of the book, the metaphysics of the soul and powers is considered. Chapters on the external senses follow, covering topics such as the sensible species, the causes of sensation, self-awareness, and the ordering of the external senses. A further chapter is devoted to the internal senses and the author argues that by reducing the number and functional scope of the interior senses Suárez deepens the gap between the external senses and the intellect, but he reduces it through emphasizing the unifying efficacy of the soul.This book brings a synthetic and unifying perspective to contemporary research and will particularly appeal to graduate students and researchers in theology and philosophy, especially philosophy of mind.
Aristotle. On Youth and Old Age, Life and Death, and Respiration 1-6: With Translation, Introduction and Interpretation (Studies in the History of Philosophy of Mind #30)
by Giouli KorobiliThis book is devoted to the last part of Aristotle’s collection of short treatises known today as the Parva Naturalia, i.e. the treatise On Youth and Old Age, on Life and Death, on Respiration. In the three main sections of the book, the author offers a translation, a commentary and a thorough analysis of this work. The author argues in favour of the unity of the work and contextualises its ideas within Aristotle’s corpus and the medical tradition of his time. After an Introduction to the nature of the work and its significance for the history of natural philosophy and science, a new English translation follows, along with a detailed commentary of Chapters 1-6, which combines philosophical discussion with philological observations. The book includes four interpretive essays, which tackle problems related to the whole treatise on a more philosophical basis, including questions about the structure and unity of the work, the organisation of the material, Aristotle’s methodological principles, his aims and target audience as well as the relevance of his selected themes to the thematic agenda of some Hippocratic writings. This book is of interest to students and researchers in Aristotle’s psychophysiology, and his views about the embodied mind, as well as to anyone concerned with the history of natural philosophy and science more generally.
Aristotle's Concept of Mind
by Jiménez Erick RaphaelIn this book, Erick Raphael Jimnez examines Aristotle's concept of mind (nous), a key concept in Aristotelian psychology, metaphysics, and epistemology. Drawing on a close analysis of De Anima, Jimnez argues that mind is neither disembodied nor innate, as has commonly been held, but an embodied ability that emerges from learning and discovery. Looking to Aristotle's metaphysics and epistemology, Jimnez argues that just as Aristotelian mind is not innate, intelligibility is not an innate feature of the objects of Aristotelian mind, but an outcome of certain mental constructions that make those objects intelligible. Conversely, it is through these same mental constructions that thinkers become intelligent, or come to possess minds. Connecting this account to Aristotle's metaphysics and epistemology, Jimnez shows how this concept of mind fits within Aristotle's wider philosophy. His bold interpretation will interest a wide range of readers in ancient and later philosophy.

Arms Wide Open
by Patricia HarmanA midwife's memoir of living free and naturally against all oddsIn her first, highly praised memoir, Patricia Harman told us the stories patients brought into her exam room, and her own story of struggling to help women as a nurse-midwife in medical practice with her husband, an OB/GYN, in Appalachia. In this new book, Patsy reaches back to tell us how she first learned to deliver babies, and digs even deeper down to tell us of her youthful experiments with living a fully sustainable and natural life.Drawing heavily on her journals, Arms Wide Open goes back to a time of counter-culture idealism that the boomer generation remembers well. Patsy opens with stories of living in the wilds of Minnesota in a log cabin she and her lover build with their own hands, the only running water being the nearby streams. They set up beehives and give chase to a bear competing for the honey. Patsy gives birth and learns to help her friends deliver as naturally as possible.Weary of the cold and isolation, Patsy moves to a commune in West Virginia, where she becomes a self-taught midwife delivering babies in cabins and homes. Her stories sparkle with drama and intensity, but she wants to help more women than healthy hippie homesteaders. After a ten-year sojourn for professional training, Patsy and her husband, Tom, return to Appalachia, as a nurse-midwife and physician, where they set up a women's-health practice. They deliver babies together, this time in hospitals; care for a wide variety of gyn patients; and live in a lakeside contemporary home--but their hearts are still firmly implanted in nature. The obstetrical climate is changing. The Harmans' family is changing. The earth is changing, but Patsy's arms remain wide open to life and all it offers.Her memoir of living free and sustainably against all odds will be especially embraced by anyone who lived through the Vietnam War and commune era, and all those involved in the back-to-nature and natural-childbirth movements.
