Arts With the Brain in Mind
Arts With the Brain in MindAS & CD Press | May 2001 | ISBN:978-0871205148 | English | 139 pages | PDF | 3.2 MB
How do the arts stack up as a major discipline? What is their effect on the brain, learning, and human development? How might schools best implement and assess an arts program?? Eric Jensen answers these questions C and more C in this book. To push for higher standards of learning, many policymakers are eliminating arts programs. To Jensen, that's a mistake. This book presents the definitive case, based on what we know about the brain and learning, for making arts a core part of the basic curriculum and thoughtfully integrating them into every subject. Separate chapters address musical, visual, and kinesthetic arts in ways that reveal their influence on learning.
Art, Origins, Otherness: Between Philosophy and Art
Art, Origins, Otherness: Between Philosophy and ArtState University of New York Press | August 2003 | ISB:978-0791457467 | English | 336 pages | PDF | 2.2 MB
Though our time is often said to be post-religious and post-metaphysical, many continue to seek some encounter with otherness and transcendence in art. This book deals diversely with the issues of art, origins, and otherness, both in themselves and in philosophical engagements with the works of Plato, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Heidegger. Addressing themes such as eros and mania, genius and sublime, transcendence and the saving power of art, William Desmond tries to make sense of the paradox that too much has been asked of art that now almost nothing is asked of it. He argues that there is more to be said philosophically of art, and claims that art has the power to open up mindfulness beyond objectifying knowledge, as well as beyond thinking that claims to be entirely self-determining.

Comprehensive Organic Reactions In Aqueous Media (2007)
Chao-Jun Li, Tak-Hang Chan; Comprehensive Organic Reactions In Aqueous Media Wiley-Interscience | ISBN:047176129X | English | 2007 | RAR | 2.3 MB | Rapidshare
Book DescriptionAn extensive update of the classic reference on organic reactions in water
Published almost a decade ago, the first edition has served as the guide for research in this burgeoning field. Due to the cost, safety, efficiency, and environmental friendliness of water as a solvent, there are many new applications in industry and academic laboratories. More than forty percent of this extensively updated second edition covers new reactions. For ease of reference, it is organized by functional groups. A core reference, Comprehensive Organic Reactions in Aqueous Media, Second Edition:
* Provides the most comprehensive coverage of aqueous organicreactions available
* Covers the basic principles and theory and progresses to applications
* Includes alkanes, alkenes, aromatics, electrophilic substitutions, carbonyls, alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyls, carbon-nitrogen bonds, organic halides, pericyclic reactions, photochemical reactions, click chemistry, and multi-step syntheses?
* Provides examples of applications in industry
This is the premier reference for chemists and chemical engineers in industry or research, as well as for students in advanced-level courses.
Human Genes and Neoliberal Governance: A Foucauldian Critique
Human Genes and Neoliberal Governance: A Foucauldian Critique Publisher: Routledge Cavendish | 2007-11-06 | 320 pages | ISBN: 0415444330 | 1.36 MB | Rapidshare&Megaupload
Original and interdisciplinary, this is the first book to explore the relationship between a neoliberal mode of governance and the so-called genetic revolution.
Looking at the knowledge-power relations in the post-genomic era and addressing the pressing issues of genetic privacy and discrimination in the context of neoliberal governance, this book demonstrates and explains the mechanisms of mutual production between biotechnology and cultural, political, economic and legal frameworks.
