Metaphors for Personal & Professional Evolution by Consuelo Casula Pdf

The metaphor is a flexible, powerful tool to indirectly promote positive change. Metaphors for Personal & Professional Evolution: Princesses, Porcupines and Garderers is a literary gem, written by a teacher/psychotherapist who offers readers detailed sequential instructions. Readers learn to identify situations in which metaphors may offer options for introduction of change, and then work their way through the uses, ideas, construction, and delivery. As metaphors, by nature, allow the readers and listeners to reach their own conclusions, the problem-solving efforts are experiential by nature. This approach can be far more effective in bringing about cooperation and acceptance than a more straightforward or direct request could bring. This book is an instructional generously laden with examples. As the stories within are told, readers remember their own internal processes of problem -solving and how it has changed through personal growth, maturation and life circumstances. An Italian classic, this book has previously been translated in to four other languages. The two translators are psychotherapists, each known for their effective use of metaphors in therapy. Their own language skills, along with their own professional and personal experiences led to a commitment to be as true to the original manuscript as possible. The English translation reflects a careful commitment to remain true to the author's original message and manner of expression. Now it is brought to a wide group of English readers with the expectation that materials will be meaningful in both personal and professional applications. Whether you want change for yourself personally, whether you seek to be a more effective teacher and leader, or whether you are merely interested in reading a fascinating study on the potency of bringing about change from an indirect direction, this piece of literature will speak to you, and perhaps through you.

The Major Metaphors of Evolution by Salvatore J. Agosta,Daniel R. Brooks Pdf

This book presents a unified evolutionary framework based on three sets of metaphors that will help to consolidate discussions on evolutionary transitions. Evolution is the unifying principle of life, making identifying ways to apply evolutionary principles to tackle existence-threatening crises such as climate change crucial. A more cohesive evolutionary framework will further the discussions in this regard and also accelerate the process itself. This book lays out a framework based on three dualistic classes of metaphors – time, space, and conflict resolution. Evolutionary transitions theory shows how metaphors can help us understand selective diversification, as Darwin described with his “tree of life”. Moreover, the recently proposed Stockholm paradigm demonstrates how metaphors can help shed light on the emergence of complex ecosystems that Darwin highlighted with his “tangled bank” metaphor. Taken together, these ideas offer proactive measures for coping with existential crises for humanity, such as climate change. The book will appeal to biologists, philosophers and historians alike.

As brilliant as Einstein by Stefano Calicchio Pdf

What characterises the intelligence of a genius? How can you unleash your personal genius? What special skills can be developed by following Albert Einstein's example? This handbook is born out of a desire to offer practical answers to these questions. Genius is inherent at a potential level in the very physiological structure of the human brain. Scientific research in recent decades has demonstrated the plasticity of the human mind and the enormous potential of our intelligence. The intellectual resources we do not use are enormous. Our ability to unleash insights, to look at problems we face from a different angle and to find new solutions is literally infinite. Decades of research into intelligence and the thought patterns used by Albert Einstein have shown that it is possible to increase one's intelligence and use the mind to access mental resources in a different way, to find insights and solutions that would otherwise remain dormant. The tools and strategies described are intended to introduce people to Einstein's thought processes. But this book is also a personal path to start thinking differently and to make genius part of one's daily life.

Metaphors for Environmental Sustainability by Brendon Larson Pdf

DIVScientists turn to metaphors to formulate and explain scientific concepts, but an ill-considered metaphor can lead to social misunderstandings and counterproductive policies, Brendon Larson observes in this stimulating book. He explores how metaphors can entangle scientific facts with social values and warns that, particularly in the environmental realm, incautious metaphors can reinforce prevailing values that are inconsistent with desirable sustainability outcomes. Metaphors for Environmental Sustainability draws on four case studies--two from nineteenth-century evolutionary science, and two from contemporary biodiversity science--to reveal how metaphors may shape the possibility of sustainability. Arguing that scientists must assume greater responsibility for their metaphors, and that the rest of us must become more critically aware of them, the author urges more critical reflection on the social dimensions and implications of metaphors while offering practical suggestions for choosing among alternative scientific metaphors./div

The Evolution of Intelligence by Robert J. Sternberg,James C. Kaufman Pdf

How is one to understand the nature of intelligence? One approach is through psychometric testing, but such an approach often puts the "cart before the horse"--the test before the theory. Another approach is to use evolutionary theory. This criterion has been suggested by a number of individuals in the past, from Charles Darwin in the more distant past to Howard Gardner, Stephen Gould, Steven Pinker, Carl Sagan, David Stenhouse, and many others. The chapters in this book address three major questions: 1. Does evolutionary theory help us understand the nature of human intelligence? 2. If so, what does it tell us about the nature of human intelligence? 3. And if so, how has intelligence evolved? The goal of this book is to present diverse points of view on the evolution of intelligence as offered by leading experts in the field. In particular, it may be possible to better understand the nature and societal implications of intelligence by understanding how and why it has evolved as it has. This book is unique in offering a diversity of points of view on the topic of the evolution of human intelligence.

Trauma, Culture, and Metaphor by John P. Wilson,Jacob D. Lindy Pdf

In Trauma, Culture, and Metaphor, John Wilson and Jacob Lindy explore the language of both individual and collective trauma in an era dominated by globalization and interconnectedness. Through lucid, careful discussion, this important book builds a bridge between the etymology of trauma-related terms commonly used in Western cultures and those of other cultures, such as the Burundi-Rwandan ihahamuka. It also provides the clinician with a framework for working with trauma survivors using a cross-cultural vocabulary—one often based in metaphor—to fully address the experienced trauma and to begin work on reconnection and self-reinvention.
