Stroking the Zebra? by Leslie Corron Robert Leslie Corron,Robert Leslie Corron Pdf

This document is a methodology for trying to understand how I think and why I think as I do. My thinking process is premise based. I operate on the premise that evolutional genetic traits have more or less programmed the basic capabilities and limitations of the starting (initial) conditions of my particular “Human Nature.” From this point – considering the environmental conditions from conception through embryology – all internal ->external responses are learned – given full consideration to the capabilities and limitations mentioned above, of my personal “Human Nature.” I also operate; in the philosophical mode – which I try to maintain at all times, on the premise that I am finite. Being finite limits the data available for making absolute, truthful observations, and therefore decisions. This being the case, I cannot believe or disbelieve anything. Knowing that one cannot function in this limbo, I have formulated premises that I live by. They are somewhat found depending on new data or current situations. Because of this, I find that my premises are sometimes conflicting and contrary to one another. That is just the way it is. I live with it. Author's thought after the fact, shades of Aristotle, Platos, Socrates, Descartes, Spinoza, Hegel, and Peirce, but more primitive, juvenile and sophomoric. But isn't that when we start to realize who we are? A basic primer on how to think.

McKnight in Shining Armor by Tami Hoag Pdf

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag tells a story of romance on the rebound in this classic novel about a woman torn between the demands of her career and the desires her new love has awoken within her. When did love get so complicated? That’s the question Kelsie Connors keeps asking herself. Stung by a bitter divorce, Kelsie’s been married to her job as a high-end animal wrangler ever since. So when her disastrous first encounter with advertising executive Alexander McKnight—a man so gallant he’ll overlook the destruction of his office by an out-of-control chimpanzee—blossoms into romance, she finds herself in uncharted waters. She certainly never expected to fall for a man this charming, this flawless, this quickly. For Alec, Kelsie’s devotion to her career is the only thing keeping her from saying yes to the best business proposition of all: a new relationship. He’ll try every trick in his arsenal to get her to put down the phone, set aside her calendar, and let him care for her and her two children. But with only so many hours in the day, can she set aside enough time to learn to love again?

Zebra by Christopher Plumb,Samuel Shaw Pdf

Common and exotic, glamorous and ferocious, sociable and sullen: zebras mean many things to many people. But one facet of zebras universally fascinates: their stripes. The extraordinary beauty of zebras’ striped coats has ensured their status as one of the world’s most recognizable and popular animals. Zebra print is everywhere in contemporary society—on beanbags and bikinis, car seats and pencil cases. Many zoos house a zebra or two, and they are a common feature of children’s books and films. Zebras have been immortalized in paint by artists, including George Stubbs and Lucian Freud, and they even have a road crossing named after them. But despite their ubiquity, the natural and cultural history of zebras remain a mystery to most. Zebra is the most comprehensive and wide-ranging survey ever published of the natural and cultural history of this cherished animal, exploring its biology and cultural relevance in Africa and beyond. Few know that there are three species of zebra (plains, mountain, and Grévy's), that one of these is currently endangered, or that among the many subspecies was once found the quagga, an animal that once roamed southern Africa in large numbers before dying out in the 1880s. Drawing on a range of examples as dizzying as the zebra’s stripes, this book shows how the zebra’s history engages and intersects with subjects as diverse and rich as eighteenth-century humor, imperialism, and technologies of concealment. Including more than one hundred illustrations, many previously unpublished, Zebra offers a new perspective on this much-loved, much-depicted, but frequently misunderstood animal.

The Daughter of Siena by Marina Fiorato Pdf

Amid the intrigue and danger of 18th-century Italy, a young woman becomes embroiled in romance and treachery with a rider in the Palio, the breathtaking horse race set in Siena.... It's 1729, and the Palio, a white-knuckle horse race, is soon to be held in the heart of the peerless Tuscan city of Siena. But the beauty and pageantry masks the deadly rivalry that exists among the city's districts. Each ward, represented by an animal symbol, puts forth a rider to claim the winner's banner, but the contest turns citizens into tribes and men into beasts—and beautiful, headstrong, young Pia Tolomei is in love with a rider of an opposing ward, an outsider who threatens the shaky balance of intrigue and influence that rules the land.

The Zebra Crossings by Tsitsi Tsopotsa Pdf

In the 1970s, somewhere in the rural areas of Rhodesia, a young man and woman fall in love. An unremarkable occurrence one might think- except Rob Du Toit is of affluent stock, and Rudo derives from a struggling family. They are living in a country in transition, but that fact does little to help their cause. Their path to happiness is a minefield of hurdles and prejudices that only intensify as time progresses. This is a tender story written with heartfelt feeling, a book that you will want to read from beginning to end.

How is Your Brain like a Zebra? by Judith Lauter Pdf

Intended for the general reader as well as specialists, this book presents a fascinating new theory that posits three major brain types created by sex hormones before birth-Polytropic, Middle, and Focal. A brief scientific background is given first, and then the theory is illustrated with vivid anecdotes about real cases. The author argues persuasively (and sometimes startlingly) that brain types influence many human traits and differences, such as personality, special skills, learning disabilities, and a whole host of medical conditions. This unique approach promises new (and practical) insights into such puzzling issues as hyperactivity, autism, nicotine addiction, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and dyslexia. Read this book to find out which kind of "zebra brain" you have and discover unique insights into you and everyone you know.
