52. Animal Domestication and Behaviour
This book is the culmination of a career-long search for
information on the process of domestication and its biological effect on
captive animals. The book is conveniently divided into six parts. The first
part, titled ‘General Aspects’, discusses when and reasons why certain species
were first domesticated, definitions of domestication, approaches to the study
of domestication and pre-adaptations for life in captivity. The second part,
‘Genetic Mechanisms Influencing Domestication’, provides an overview of the
mechanisms influencing changes in the gene pool during domestication. Part III,
‘Variation Under Domestication’, discusses the effects of domestication on
genetic variability and phenotypic variation in behavior, structural traits and
physiology. Part IV, ‘Adaptation to the Biological Environment’, concerns the
many ways captive animals adapt to provision of food and water, the lack of
predation, infectious diseases and parasites, the presence of humans and other
animals. Part V, ‘Adaptation to the Physical Environment’, discusses the
adaptations of animals to selected physical aspects of their captive
environment, namely temperature, provision or absence of shelter and their use
of space, which is sometimes severely limited. The last part deals with aspects
of behavioral development in the captive environment not discussed in Parts IV
and V, and how certain developmental processes influence their ability to
survive and reproduce, both in captivity and when reintroduced into nature. The
book ends with an overview of how the welfare of animals is affected by
domestication and selected management techniques associated with captive animal
husbandry. This e-book contains 308 printable pages.

54. A study of culture, belief and social structure
The purpose of this
collection of essays is to create a framework for interdisciplinary analysis of
social science. This begins with philosophy, which we take to be considered
examination of the most simple of issues and definitions, though we construct a
narrative of one social science, economics, and discuss the problems and
difficulties it faces in the strength of supposedly reasoned thinking within
it. We
discuss a number of frameworks based on our methodology that springs from our
criticisms of economic theory; debate structure and projected narrative, idea
maps, conversation dynamics (both in terms of interaction as a game, e.g.
through blocking strategies in conversation, and in terms of extensive form
game theory as the multiple interaction of discussion), non-reductionist
memetic-network life-world theory. This e-book contains 75 pages.

59. The Massage
Book
To do massage
is physically to help someone, to take care of them. It is for anyone with whom
you feel prepared to share an act of physical caring. Contrary to myth, massage
is a healing art and not an advanced sexual technique. Naturally, when
practised by lovers, it can be a beautiful extension of sexuality. The flowing
peace and aliveness it so easily brings to the body can be channelled, if both
parties desire things so, in that direction. But this is merely one of the many
possibilities that massage holds out to us. The core of massage lies in its
unique way of communicating without words. In itself this is not unusual; by
touching and hugging, for example, we often let those around us know that we
like them, or that we sympathize with them, or that we believe in their worth.
Massage, however, can transpose this kind of message into a new and different
key. When receiving a good massage a person usually falls into a
mental-physical state difficult to describe.

In a personal, no-nonsense style, Keyhoe provides the

clamped down on the subject. Keyhoe would go on to write four more books on the
subject and in 1957 he became director of the National Investigations Committee
on Aerial Phenomena, without a doubt the most influential private UFO
organization of all time. But it is this book, which sold a half-million

76. 2012 and the end of
the world
Falsehoods are more powerful than facts. Matthew Restall and Amara
Solari’s ingenious reconstruction of an amazing story—how Maya mathematics
morphed into modern millenarianism—tells us a lot about the Maya. Their book
tells us even more about ourselves: how and why, with every emotion from
solemnity to derision, we respond to prophets who claim to foresee the end of
time. Witty, scholarly, insightful, and fast-paced—this is the thinking
person’s guide to the next pop-apocalypse. (Felipe Fernández-Armesto )
Well, here’s a much-needed breath of fresh,
rational air. A welcome counterpoint to the seemingly endless end-of-the-world
tomes, this well-documented, well-presented book (written by a pair of history
professors) explores the origins of the alleged Mayan prediction that the world
will end on December 21, 2012. For conspiracy buffs, the authors’ conclusions
will prove decidedly disheartening. For example: they show that there is no
hard evidence that the Mayan calendar has any predictive function; the Long
Count calendar (which is key to the 2012 date) has a purely arbitrary start
date, rendering the 2012 date meaningless; and (despite common misperception)
the Mayans were not especially apocalyptic in outlook. The authors have a simple
mission, ‘to explain what the 2012 fuss is all about,’ and they do it
admirably. They don’t go as far as saying the world won’t end in December 2012,
but they do say this: there is no evidence, either historical or textual, that
the Mayans were predicting the end of the world in 2012 or any other year. (Booklist
)
Media are full
of doomsday predictions related to the Maya Long Count calendar end date,
December 21, 2012, in today’s Western calendar. Restall and Solari take a
serious look at Maya calendar development, archaeology, and history to seek the
truth behind the so-called Maya doomsday prophecy, which adherents believe may
forecast the end of the world. The authors see no evidence that Long Count
calendar dates for the future, carved on stone monuments at Maya archaeological
sites in Mexico and Central America, indicate predictions of doom. Their
thorough examination of Maya carvings, images, and writings leads them to the
conclusion that the preconquest Maya were not particularly millenarian. By contrast,
their Spanish conquerors came from a culture steeped in eschatological
thinking. The authors effectively provide scholarly evidence to back up their
hypothesis that millenarianism probably came via the Spanish and is not
intrinsic to the traditional Maya worldview and to debunk prophecies of doom.
VERDICT This readable analysis based on credible scholarship is a needed and
balanced counterpoint to the many sensationalist works on the Maya doomsday
prophecy as 2012 approaches. Highly recommended for all seeking a reasoned
perspective on Maya calendar systems. This e-book contains 161 pages.

77. Architecture of
Thought
In Architecture of Thought,
Andrzej Piotrowski maps and conceptually explores material practices of the
past, showing how physical artifacts and visual environments manifest
culturally rooted modes of thought and participate in the most nuanced
processes of negotiations and ideological exchanges. According to Piotrowski,
material structures enable people to think in new ways—distill emerging or
alter existing worldviews—before words can stabilize them as conventional
narratives.
Combining design thinking with academic
methods of inquiry, Piotrowski traces ancient to modern architectural histories
and—through critical readings of select buildings—examines the role of
nonverbal exchanges in the development of an accumulated Western identity.
Unlike studies that organize around the traditional scheme of periodization in
history, Architecture of Thought uses an interdisciplinary approach to
investigate a wide spectrum of cultural productions in different times and
places.
Operating from the assertion that
buildings are the most permanent record of unself-conscious beliefs and
attitudes, it discusses Byzantium and the West after iconoclasm, the conquest
and colonization of Mesoamerica, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation in
Eastern Europe, the rise of the culture of consumerism in Victorian England,
and High Modernism as its consequence. By moving beyond the assumption that
historical structures reflect transcendental values and deterministic laws of
physics or economy or have been shaped by self-conscious individuals,
Piotrowski challenges the traditional knowledge of what architecture is and can
be.

This is a highly readable and enjoyable book that
centers on astrobiology–a discipline that melds astronomy, biology, geology–and
a little bit of luck–to explore the prospect of life on other worlds. . . .
Bennett is an excellent writer, taking the reader on an exploration quest to
find alien life, and how difficult solar system sleuthing can be, such as on
Mars, Jupiter’s Europa, or on Saturn’s Titan. You’ll also find an excellent
treatment on current activities surrounding the on-going search for
extraterrestrial intelligence. — The Coalition for Space Exploration,
Particularly enjoyable is the down-to-earth writing; Bennett, an
astrophysicist, author, and educator, tells the reader exactly how he feels
about various topics (even the role of God in the scheme of things). Readers
may not agree with everything he says, but he does offer food for thought. —
B.R. Parker, ChoiceBeyond UFOs gives a good impression from the moment
you first take it into your hands. It is attractively produced, well written,
and very thoroughly proofread. It’s an interesting and challenging complement
to focused research, and will be particularly enjoyed by anyone who has an

82. Brains: How They
Seem to Work
For 50 years, the world’s most brilliant neuroscientists have struggled
to understand how human brains really work. Today, says the author, the
dominant research agenda may have taken us as far as it can–and neuroscientists
may be approaching a paradigm shift.
In this highly personal book, the author reveals how we got to this
point and offers his notion of where neuroscience may be headed next. Purves
guides you through a half-century of the most influential ideas in neuroscience
and introduces the extraordinary scientists and physicians who created and
tested them.
The author offers a critical assessment of the paths that
neuroscience research has taken, their successes and their limitations, and
then introduces an alternative approach for thinking about brains. Building on
new research on visual perception, he shows why common ideas about brain
networks can’t be right and uncovers the factors that determine our subjective
experience. The resulting insights offer a deeper understanding of what it means
to be human.
Why we need a better conception of what brains are trying to do and how
they do it
Approaches to understanding the brain over the past several decades may be
at an impasse

85. Complete Guide to
Mysterious Beings
We have personally investigated many of the cases in this book and have
talked to the witnesses for hours on end, probing for discrepancies in their
stories and trying to uncover emotional or psychological aberrations. It is our
studied conclusion that the great majority of these people are telling the
truth. Any one of them would make an acceptable and credible witness in a court
of law if called upon to testify about a more mundane matter. We are not
dealing with wild-eyed crackpots and publicity seekers. These are people very
much like yourself and, contrary to the hardboiled cynicism of New York
editors, most people are honest and they are particularly truthful when trying
to describe an unusual but possibly important event to police officers,
newsmen, and scientific investigators. Many of these witnesses will be named in
this book. They are real people, they exist, and you can check them out if you
wish, although by now most of them are weary of the ridicule and nonsense that
usually follows the act of reporting an unusual event. We have a theory. It is
not very scientific but it is based upon the known facts. These creatures and
strange events tend to recur in the same areas year after year, even century
after century. This, in itself, indicates that the creatures somehow live in
those areas which we call ”windows.” No matter what the source, something
strange is engulfing our planet. It does not matter if these Unbelievables are
coming from some distant star or from the fourth dimension. They are here. They
have been seen by many. Perhaps one day the Bronx Zoo will have a ”Mothman” and
an
Abominable Snowman in cages next to the Komodo dragon. But until that day
arrives, we must consider every possibility and every explanation.

89. EFFECTIVE HUMAN
RELATIONS - Interpersonal and Organizational Applications
This book is
divided into six parts.
Part 1, “Human
Relations: The Key to Personal Growth and Career Success,” provides a strong rationale for the study
of human relations and reviews the historical development of this field. One
important highlight of Chapter 1 is a detailed discussion of the major developments
influencing behavior at work. This material helps students develop a new
appreciation for the complex nature of human behavior in a work setting. The
communication process—the basis for
effective human relations—is explained from
both an individual and organizational level in Chapter 2.
Part 2, “Career
Success Begins with Knowing Yourself,”
reflects the basic fact that our effectiveness in dealing with
others depends in large measure on our self awareness and self-acceptance. We
believe that by building high self-esteem and by learning to explore inner
attitudes, motivations, and values, the reader will learn to be more sensitive
to the way others think, feel, and act. Complete chapters are devoted to such
topics as communication styles, building high self-esteem, personal values and
ethical choices, attitude formation, and motivation.
Part 3, “Personal
Strategies for Improving Human Relations,”
comprises four chapters that feature a variety of practical
strategies that can be used to develop and maintain good relationships with
coworkers, supervisors, and customers. Chapters on constructive
self-disclosure, learning to achieve emotional control, building stronger
relationships with positive energy, and developing a professional presence are
featured in this part of the text.
In Part 4, “If We All Work Together …,”
the concepts of team building and conflict resolution are given
detailed coverage. Because employers are increasingly organizing employees into
teams, the chapter on team-building leadership strategies (Chapter 12) takes on
major importance. The chapter on conflict resolution (Chapter 13) describes
several basic conflict resolution strategies, discusses ways to deal with
difficult people, and provides an introduction to the role of labor unions in
today’s work force.
Part 5, “Special
Challenges in Human Relations,” is
designed to help the reader deal with some unique problem areas—coping
with personal and work related stress, working effectively in a diverse work
force, and understanding the changing roles of men and women. The reader is
offered many suggestions on ways to deal effectively with these modern-day
challenges.
Part 6, “You
Can Plan for Success,” features
the final chapter, which serves as a capstone for the entire text. This chapter
offers suggestions on how to develop a life plan for effective human relations.
Students will be introduced to a new definition of success and learn how to
better cope with life’s uncertainties
and disappointments. This chapter also describes the nonfinancial resources
that truly enrich a person’s
life.

90. Empires of the Sea
“[Crowley] offers
exquisitely delicate insights and undulating descriptive passages. Yet in his
descriptions of the battles, his prose is so taut and tense, it is impossible
not to be caught up in the harrowing action.”—Christian Science Monitor “A
masterly narrative that captures the religious fervor, brutality and mayhem of
this intensive contest.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred
review “Gripping
. . . This is a rare combination of a history book that reads with the detail,
insight and pace of a novel.”—Tampa Tribune“Crowley has an astonishing
gift for narration; his account is as exciting as any thriller.”—Wall Street
Journal“Crowley’s page-turner history . . . deserves to be this [season’s]
most recommended nonfiction book. . . . Rich in character, action, surprise,
what transpired in those few desperate weeks is one of history’s best and most
thrilling stories.”—Dallas Morning News This

91. Evidence of the
Afterlife: The Science of near death experience
The Most Compelling Scientific Evidence for Life Beyond Death Ever
Compiled Evidence of the Afterlife
shares the firsthand accounts of people who have died and lived to tell about
it. Through their work at the Near Death Experience Research Foundation,
radiation oncologist Jeffrey Long and his wife, Jody, have gathered thousands
of accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs) from all over the world. In
addition to sharing the personal narrative of their experiences, visitors to
the website are asked to fill out a one hundred–item questionnaire designed to
isolate specific elements of the experience and to flag counterfeit
accounts. The website has become the
largest NDE research database in the world, containing over 1,600 NDE accounts.
The people whose stories are captured in the database span all age groups,
races, and religious affiliations and come from all over the world, yet the
similarities in their stories are as awe-inspiring as they are revealing. Using
this treasure trove of data, Dr. Long explains how medical evidence fails to
explain these reports and why there is only one plausible explanation—that
people have survived death and traveled to another dimension. By scientifically studying
the more than 1,300 cases shared with NDERF, I believe that the nine lines of
evidence presented in this book all converge on one central point: There is life after death. The convergence of several
lines of evidence— like the nine presented in this book—builds a much stronger
case than only a single line of evidence.

92. Female Leadership
Paradox - Power, Performance and Promotion
With this book the author intends to contribute to improving the
under-representation of women in top positions in our society through
strengthening the collective knowledge of women and the organizations they work
for. Women have become comfortable with sharing their personal career stories
and addressing difficult questions such as: ‘Are you prepared to make
significant sacrifices to achieve your ambitions?’ But we still need to refute
myths such as ‘If you work hard, you will get the promotion you deserve.’ I
hope that this book will not only stimulate the debate around this topic, but
also provide practical tips and concrete advice for women on their way to the
top. This e-book contains 171 pages.

93. Genius of Instinct
You have an enormous number of instincts
that help you survive.This book, though, is not about surviving; it is about
thriving. I have chosen to focus on six broad instincts. Becoming aware of
them, and using them, will teach you to use your natural genius to truly thrive
and prosper.
In subsequent chapters, you explore each of
these instinctual tools and the numerous ways in which they can help you
enhance your life. As you read through the book, you learn that they are all
interrelated—each one supports the next:
• Shelter seeking—Helps you get into an
empowering environment
• Care soliciting—Helps you protect your
vulnerabilities
• Care giving—Helps you develop others
• Beauty—Helps you get others to desire you
• Cooperation—Helps you stimulate and
develop fair and productive relationships
• Curiosity—Helps you stay
ahead of the pack
The author’s goal, then, is to teach you how
to
instinctually reconnect so
that you can apply your instinctual tools in
innovative ways that
enhance your life in all aspects and thus
realize the genius of your instincts.
