Caging the Beast by Paula Droege Pdf

A major obstacle for materialist theories of the mind is the problem of sensory consciousness. How could a physical brain produce conscious sensory states that exhibit the rich and luxurious qualities of red velvet, a Mozart concerto or fresh-brewed coffee? Caging the Beast: A Theory of Sensory Consciousness offers to explain what these conscious sensory states have in common, by virtue of being conscious as opposed to unconscious states. After arguing against accounts of consciousness in terms of higher-order representation of mental states, the theory claims that sensory consciousness is a special way we have of representing the world. The book also introduces a way of thinking about subjectivity as separate and more fundamental than consciousness, and considers how this foundational notion can be developed into more elaborate varieties. An appendix reviews the connection between consciousness and attention with an eye toward providing a neuropsychological instantiation of the proposed theory. (Series A)

Winter's Beast by Twyla Turner Pdf

"I have never resented Ivan's good looks. But there are times, once I became of age to date girls and women, that I wish I could look more like him than myself. Women are not often quick to date a monster. I was okay with that. Until now. Until Winter. She changed everything..."Ivan Petrov is a ruthless Russian businessman who is only six degrees off mob boss. He doesn't give a rat's ass about anything other than getting what he wants. And he wants Winter Rose, the prodigy opera singer, and is willing to torment her sexually until she begs for it. He could care less that Yury, his disfigured and most trusted guard has fallen for her.Winter's Beast is one part sugar and sweet, two parts sex and sweat. It is not your typical Romance and although it has an HEA, it's a dark, twisty road to get there.***WARNING***This novel is filled with angsty consensual non-consent. Yeah, you read that right. I'll say it again...consensual non-consent. It might be triggering for some. As for everyone else... Shake off those strict Puritan morals and enjoy... Because Ivan Petrov, The Sexual Sadist certainly has.With Love, Twyla

Metaphors of Coronavirus by Jonathan Charteris-Black Pdf

This book explores the metaphors used in public and media communication to ask how language shapes our moral reasoning about the global coronavirus crisis. The author offers insights into the metaphors, metonyms, allegories and symbols of the global crisis and examines how they have contributed to policy formation and communication. Combining metaphor theory with moral foundations theory, he places metaphors in their historical contexts, and then critically questions why certain tropes might be used in particular situations to persuade and convince an audience. The book takes an integrated approach, involving ideas from cognitive linguistics, history, social psychology and literature to produce a multi-layered and thematically rich interpretation of the language of the pandemic and its social and political consequences. It will be relevant to readers with a background in these areas, as well as anyone with a general interest in the language used to make sense of this global event.

Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston Pdf

A tale as old as time is made new in Ashley Poston's fresh, geeky retelling of Beauty and the Beast—now with a bonus Starfield story! Rosie Thorne is feeling stuck—on her college application essays, in her small town, and on that mysterious General Sond cosplayer she met at ExcelsiCon. Most of all, she’s stuck in her grief over her mother’s death. Her only solace was her late mother’s library of rare Starfield novels, but even that disappeared when they sold it to pay off hospital bills. On the other hand, Vance Reigns has been Hollywood royalty for as long as he can remember—with all the privilege and scrutiny that entails. When a tabloid scandal catches up to him, he’s forced to hide out somewhere the paparazzi would never expect to find him: Small Town USA. At least there’s a library in the house. Too bad he doesn’t read. When Vance’s and Rosie’s paths collide, sparks do not fly. But as they begrudgingly get to know each other, their careful masks come off—and they may just find that there’s more risk in shutting each other out than in opening their hearts.

The Caged Viking by Sandra Hill Pdf

DO DREAMS COME TRUE? Kirstin Magnusson is haunted by dreams of a fierce Viking warrior in a cage, being tortured and humiliated by his Saxon captors. Is it a fantasy, or a cry for help? But she’s a no-nonsense college professor, not a Navy SEAL like her brothers or a Norse fighting man, like her father once was. What can she do to help? Call on her academic training, of course, and form a plan.... WHAT ABOUT NIGHTMARES? Once called Hauk the Handsome, Hauk Thorsson is far from it these days, having lived in a filthy Saxon cage for over six months. All because he allowed grief over the death of his son to distract him. However, Hauk has a plan to escape soon and join the approaching army of Sweyn Forkbeard…until that lackbrain woman arrives and causes nothing but trouble. BUT SOME DREAMS END HAPPILY EVER AFTER: All right, it depends on the definition of “ever after.” And mayhap it wasn’t the best idea for Hauk to kidnap Kirstin, but she’d said she needed time; so, he was just doing what she wanted, sort of.
