Temperament in Context
Although the importance of context has been emphasized by temperament researchers, until now there has been remarkably little systematic research on the unique role specific aspects of context play in the development and impact of temperament. The goal of this volume is to systematize current knowledge and theory on the role played by specific aspects of context in the etiology, expression, and influence of temperament, particularly for those aspects of temperament that are most likely to relate to later personality traits. Reflecting the editors' view that the interface between temperament and context is a bidirectional phenomenon, this volume focuses on two broad issues: 1) How does contex...
O coloso de Marusi
«Na terraza elevada de Amarusio, mentres a luz dos outros mundos empezaba a perder o brillo, captei a vella e a nova Grecia na súa suave translucidez e así se conservan ambas na miña memoria. Decateime nese instante de que non hai nin vella nin nova, só Grecia, un mundo concibido e creado a perpetuidade. O home que falaba deixara de ser de tamaño e proporcións humanas, convertérase nun coloso cuxa silueta se esfumaba para diante e para atrás co roncar grave e rítmico das súas oracións narcóticas.» En xullo de 1939, tras vivir nove anos en París e ante a ameaza da inminente invasión de Francia pola Alemaña nazi, Henry Miller acepta o convite do seu amigo Lawrence Durrell e, t...
Investigating School Psychology
Investigating School Psychology provides a fascinating exploration of the field of school psychology through the lens of pseudoscience and fringe science. Contributions from leaders in the fields of school psychology, clinical psychology, and education honor the role of science in the field while also exploring and guarding against the harms that pseudoscience can cause. School psychology and, more broadly, the field of education are particularly susceptible to pseudoscience, fads, and maintaining the status quo by resisting the adoption of new ideas. Using an exhaustive review of the current literature, this book discusses various concepts in school psychology that have been largely discred...
The Five-Factor Model of Personality Across Cultures
The Five-Factor Model Across Cultures was designed to further an understanding of the interrelations between personality and culture by examining the dominant paradigm for personality assessment - the Five-Factor Model or FFM - in a wide variety of cultural contexts. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary research and theory about personality traits and culture that is extremely relevant to personality psychologists, cross-cultural psychologists, and psychological anthropologists.
El coloso de Marusi
Escrito en 1941, Henry Miller nos describe en El coloso de Marusisu viaje a la isla de Corfú; para ver a su amigo Lawrence Durrell; a medio camino, como toda su literatura, entre la autobiografía y el surrealismo, las imágenes oníricas y el más crudo realismo, este libro narra su vivencia del año que pasará en Grecia y las islas del Egeo, de las amistades que hará y de la revelación de su propia vida. Bellísima y extraordinaria obra de viajes, es un descubrimiento interior y exterior, un reto para la civilización agónica de Occidente y un canto, al mejor estilo whitmaniano, a la dignidad de la tierra, a la ascensión espiritual y a la excepcional amistad de hombre como Durrell, Seferis o el incomparable Katsimbalis. Estamos, sin duda, ante un libro extraordinario, ante literatura con mayúsculas.
Animal Breeding and Genetics
From the very early days human beings depend on animals and animal products for food and other requirements. In dairy and poultry farms high yielding animals are reared. These high yielding animals are produced by hybridization experiments. Previously the animals were developed basing on unscientific methods. Before the discovery of principles of heredity human beings have selected the animals with required characters and learned to develop the plants having the selected characters. This phenomenon is called Artificial selection. However, an increased knowledge of biology, especially genetics, has helped in improving the quality of animals and animal products as per the human requirements. T...
