Through the Rearview Mirror by John Macnamara Pdf

In this lively book, John Macnamara shows how a number of important thinkers through the ages have approached problems of mental representation and the acquisition of knowledge. He discusses the relevance of these approaches to modern cognitive psychology, focusing on central themes that he believes have strongly influenced modern psychology. This is not a neutral historical survey, but a vehicle for Macnamara's compelling and provocative arguments on the relevance and worth of certain aspects of psychological and philosophical thought. The historical figures discussed are quite varied—from Plato to Thomas Jefferson to Sigmund Freud—and include numerous Christian philosophers such as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. The book assumes no previous background in the subject matter; Macnamara often simplifies abstract concepts via homespun examples (many using his beloved dog, Freddie). This is a quirky, engaging book, as well as the last work by a highly influential figure in cognitive psychology.

Tales in a Rearview Mirror by Donal Ruane Pdf

Tales in a Rearview Mirror is a collection of true stories as told from the driver's seat of a Dublin taxi. Some are funny, some are sad, some are foolish and some are bittersweet. Pretty much like the people Donal Ruane observes as he reluctantly drives around the city. All human life is here. There's the criminal's girlfriend who's just bought a house for cash in "Fox-bleedin'-rock". The eccentric American looking for a hooker. The drunken northsider chancing his arm to share a taxi home with a south county darling. The mother and father of all family rows in Ballyfermot. And lots more besides. Tales in a Rearview Mirror is the real deal. It's a hugely entertaining, brilliantly written slice of real Dublin life that you won't get anywhere else. "An irresistable read." Gerry Ryan

The Field Guide to Human Error Investigations by Sidney Dekker Pdf

This title was first published in 2002: This field guide assesses two views of human error - the old view, in which human error becomes the cause of an incident or accident, or the new view, in which human error is merely a symptom of deeper trouble within the system. The two parts of this guide concentrate on each view, leading towards an appreciation of the new view, in which human error is the starting point of an investigation, rather than its conclusion. The second part of this guide focuses on the circumstances which unfold around people, which causes their assessments and actions to change accordingly. It shows how to "reverse engineer" human error, which, like any other componant, needs to be put back together in a mishap investigation.

God in the Rear View Mirror by Lavila Henry Pdf

Do you have a dream that seems to be lying in the grave? Is there a relationship that needs a revival? Do you react with anxiety when things don't appear to be going the way you think they should? Has God ever placed you strategically and solely for the benefit of someone else? Have you stopped to appreciate the smallest blessings --- or a kindness either given or received? When God is at work, often we see what He has done only after the fact. This book offers encouragement that God is always there watching out for His children. It gives hope that no circumstance is truly hopeless. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and appreciating God's help through life-altering experiences, as well as noticing and valuing the very smallest blessings we receive from Him. It reminds us to look for God in the rearview mirror.
