Single Case Analysis for Behavioral Science Research

Religion, Culture and Society Series

One of the most exciting developments in the study of religion during recent years is the application of cognitive theory. Many people are inspired by the thought that understanding human cognition can somehow help us to understand religion. Others are more sceptical. What can neurophysiology possibly tell us about social and cultural phenomena? How do we get from the neurone to the Qu'ran? This book will enlighten those who know little about cognitive theory, introducing them to the background and subject areas where cognitive approaches can be useful. Armin Geertz shows that cognitive approaches are broader and allow for many more possibilities than pioneers in the cognitive study of religion have touched upon in the past. Using a minimum of neuro-jargon and presenting clear explanations of terms where necessary, this book offers an informative guide to cognitive theory to develop plausible interpretations and explanations of religious thought and behaviour. Armin Geertz explains how cognitive theory offers a toolbox to help us to understand the texts, behaviours, and attitudes we are confronted with in the study of religion.

William James (1842-1910) is widely regarded as one of the most important philosophers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and a major figure in the history of psychology. In this clear and engaging book Henry Jackman introduces and explains William James's philosophy. It will be of interest to anyone studying James, American philosophy, twentieth-century philosophy, and also to those in related subjects such as religion and the history of psychology.

William James (1842-1910) is widely regarded as one of the most important philosophers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and a major figure in the history of psychology. Renowned for his philosophical theories of pragmatism and "the will to believe", his work encompassed a rich array of subjects from consciousness and free will to religion, evolution, ethics and the meaning of life. In this clear and engaging book Henry Jackman introduces and explains William James’s philosophy. Beginning with an overview of James’s life and work, he explores the following key topics:<ul> <li>James’s life and works</li> <li>psychology and its importance for James’s philosophy</li> <li>rationality, belief and faith</li> <li>pragmatism and meaning</li> <li>pragmatism and truth</li> <li>ethics and religion</li> <li>James’s reception and philosophical legacy.</li> </ul>Including chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary, this book is ideal for those coming to James for the first time as well as those already acquainted with his thought. It will be of interest to anyone studying James, American philosophy, twentieth-century philosophy, and also to those in related subjects such as religion and the history of psychology.

The dinosaur-bird transition has been intensively studied using both fossil and embryological evidence. In recent years, the notion that birds are living dinosaurs has become the mainstream opinion in paleontology. But some embryologists and ornithologists remain skeptical and accuse paleontologists of ignoring conflicting evidence. This book resolves these conflicts. Careful re-evaluation of those features in seeming contradiction reveal that such characteristics actually support and corroborate the mainstream view that birds are in fact members of a dinosaurian lineage - they are living dinosaurs.

What if joy isn't something you have to wait for, but something you can choose? Based on the latest research and insights from psychology and neuroscience, The Joy Instinct is a step-by-step guide on how to expand our capacity for joy. Readers will discover their signature joys-the most effective ways to find their ideal balance of exhilaration, renewal, and connection. They'll develop the ability to help others experience more joy. And they'll learn how to put joy in service of what matters most-as a resource in hard times, and as fuel for pursuing their most meaningful goals. You can choose how you respond to life's challenges, and you can harness the best in human nature. Joy is a fundamental human strength, and it is possible to experience joy even when life is difficult. The Joy Instinct is more than a book about happiness. It is a revolutionary reminder that joy is within reach, and a detailed, usable roadmap to the joy we all seek.

The Joy Instinct

The questions posed by disability studies scholarship are increasingly of interest to medieval studies scholars and there have been a wealth of books published on the intersection of these two fields of research over the past two decades. More recently, medieval scholars have developed a framework for considering more specifically medieval ways of thinking about disability, analyzing the medieval conception of the different or 'othered' body and thinking through 'medieval things': such as the responses to injury and resulting impairment in contemporary law, literature, and art; the impaired body as a site for miraculous transformation; the presence of physical and mental difference in different cultural modes than exist in the modern world; and the role of theosophical thought in characterizing difference. This is the first volume to survey this field as a whole, bringing together the most notable scholars in the field alongside up-and-coming academics, to analyse recent studies and to suggest directions for future research. Chapters are organized into four categories that treat broadly the current questions of the field as they apply to each contributor's area of expertise: Articulations of Difference; Critical Perspectives; Traditions of Medieval Thought; and Disability and Material Cultures. Each category is introduced by a leading figure in the field, and the volume is concluded with an Afterword.

The Ashgate Research Companion to Medieval Disability Studies

Bloomsbury Egyptology

This book explores the administration and social organisation of ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom, the age of empire, through the lives and careers of the highest classes of Egyptian society. Based on analysis and interpretation of a wide range of hieratic and hieroglyphic texts (from administrative documents and accounts, to biographies and literature), as well as iconographic and archaeological evidence (reliefs, statues and steles), it compares the transmission of power and the relevance of social provenance during the New Kingdom to other periods of ancient Egyptian history and examines the changing relationship between central power and periphery in the empire. Both texts and figural sources are set in their historical contexts, with the aim of encouraging readers to deepen their understanding of some less-studied aspects of New Kingdom society, such as state control and the recruitment or enrolment of the elite classes. This detailed but straightforward approach will be of use to both scholars and students of Egyptology and Egyptian archaeology, and to those engaged in comparative studies of ancient history, society and culture.

Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies

This volume explores the effect of Darwinian theory on visual culture through analysis of popular graphics, scientific illustration, natural history diorama, as well as the more traditional art historical material such as painting and sculpture. It extends the discussion to examine the lasting impact the theory of evolution has had on the development of art history as an academic discipline.

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution bore a decisive influence on aesthetic thought that was nothing if not diverse. From biological models to European paintings, Darwinian theory offered art historians and artists a rich, evocative lens through which to view the world anew. This volume explores the effect of Darwinian theory on visual culture through analysis of popular graphics, scientific illustration, natural history diorama, as well as the more traditional art historical material such as painting and sculpture. It extends the discussion to examine the lasting impact the theory of evolution has had on the development of art history as an academic discipline.
