The story of Moisin's struggle to overcome anorexia and find her true identity.
In this thought-provoking book, psychologist Jerome Kagan urges readers to sally forth from their usual comfort zones. He ponders a series of important nodes of debate while challenging us to examine what we know and why we know it. Most critically he presents an elegant argument for functions of mind that cannot be replaced with sentences about brains while acknowledging that mind emerges from brain activity. Kagan relies on the evidence to argue that thoughts and emotions are distinct from their biological and genetic bases. In separate chapters he deals with the meaning of words, kinds of knowing, the powerful influence of social class, the functions of education, emotion, morality, and other issues. And without fail he sheds light on these ideas while remaining honest to their complexity. Thoughtful and eloquent, Kagan’s On Being Human places him firmly in the tradition of Renaissance essayist Michel de Montaigne, whose appealing blend of intellectual insight, personal storytelling, and careful judgment has attracted readers for centuries.
The book tells the overall story of how the telegraph got its start via a landline across the country with its expansion in the 1850s across the Atlantic Ocean from New England northwest to Nova Scotia, to Newfoundland and eventually west to Ireland and finally to Europe and beyond. We explain how the cable is made and operates and gets laid underwater by enormous cable laying ships and eventually to cable stations around the world all conceived by a dreamer by the name of Cyrus W. Field resulting in messages to travel in seconds by electric cable which once took weeks across the ocean by ship.

Hay quienes todavía creen que nuestras características psicológicas se deben fundamentalmente a nuestros genes; hay quienes, por el contrario, piensan que estamos predominantemente conformados por el ambiente en que crecemos. A unos y a otros está dirigido este libro, en el que Jerome Kagan, profesor emérito de Psicología en la Universidad de Harvard, muestra de qué modo la psicología humana está definida por la biología y por el medio ambiente. Apoyándose en décadas de investigación, el profesor Kagan describe los rasgos de temperamento que subyacen a nuestros modos de actuar y responde preguntas tales como: ¿de qué modo el temperamento con que nacemos afectará al resto de n...
