Meditation Classic and Contemporary Perspectives

Meditation Classic and Contemporary Perspectives

Many claim that meditation is effective in the treatment of many ailments associated with stress and high blood pressure and in the management of pain. While there are many popular books on meditation few embrace the science as well as the art of meditation. In this volume Shapiro and Walsh fill this need by assembling a complete collection of scholarly articles-Meditation: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives. From an academic rather than a popular vantage the volume takes the claims and counterclaims about meditation to a deeper analytical level by including studies from clinical psychology and psychiatry neuroscience psychophysiology and biochemistry. Each selection is a contribution to the field either as a classic of research or by being methodologically elegant heuristically interesting or creative. Original articles cover such topics as the effects of meditation in the treatment of stress hypertension and addictions; the comparison of meditation with other self-regulation strategies; the adverse effects of meditation; and meditation-induced altered states of consciousness. Concluding with a major bibliography of related works Meditation offers the reader a valuable overview of the state and possible future directions of meditation research. Today in the popular media and elsewhere debate continues: Is meditation an effective technique for spiritual and physical healing or is it quackery? Meditation: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives weighs in on this debate by presenting what continues to be the most complete collection of scholarly articles ever amassed on the subject of meditation. | Meditation Classic and Contemporary Perspectives

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

In a series of provocative conversations with Skeptic magazine Ssenior editor Frank Miele renowned University of California-Berkeley psychologist Arthur R. Jensen details the evolution of his thoughts on the nature of intelligence tracing an intellectual odyssey that leads from the programs of the Great Society to the Bell Curve Wars and beyond. Miele cross-examines Jensen's views on general intelligence (the g factor) racial differences in IQ cultural bias in IQ tests and whether differences in IQ are due primarily to heredity or to remediable factors such as poverty and discrimination. With characteristic frankness Jensen also presents his view of the proper role of scientific facts in establishing public policy such as Affirmative Action. 'Jensenism' the assertion that heredity plays an undeniably greater role than environmental factors in racial (and other) IQ differences has entered the dictionary and also made Jensen a bitterly controversial figure. Nevertheless Intelligence Race and Genetics carefully underscores the dedicated lifetime of scrupulously scientific research that supports Jensen's conclusions. | Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R.

Ranging from the religious acuities of the first American Puritans to the more secularized literary awakening of the American Renaissance and into late-century texts that deliberately resist the limits of received religious and political opinion this volume seeks to uncover a history of human thought within classic American Literature. This volume critically observes these survivable works of literature presenting insight into the “difference” made by conversation dispute and dramatized self-doubt within novels and poems of the historical past. | Doctrine and Difference The Thematic Scale of Classic American Literature
