Intelligence, Race, And Genetics - Frank Miele - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Intelligence, Race, And Genetics - Frank Miele - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

In a series of provocative conversations with Skeptic magazine Ssenior editor Frank Miele, renowned University of California-Berkeley psychologist Arthur R. Jensen details the evolution of his thoughts on the nature of intelligence, tracing an intellectual odyssey that leads from the programs of the Great Society to the Bell Curve Wars and beyond. Miele cross-examines Jensen''s views on general intelligence (the g factor), racial differences in IQ, cultural bias in IQ tests, and whether differences in IQ are due primarily to heredity or to remediable factors such as poverty and discrimination. With characteristic frankness, Jensen also presents his view of the proper role of scientific facts in establishing public policy, such as Affirmative Action. ''Jensenism'' the assertion that heredity plays an undeniably greater role than environmental factors in racial (and other) IQ differences, has entered the dictionary and also made Jensen a bitterly controversial figure. Nevertheless, Intelligence, Race, and Genetics carefully underscores the dedicated lifetime of scrupulously scientific research that supports Jensen''s conclusions.

Race - Frank Miele - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Race - Frank Miele - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The conventional wisdom in contemporary social science claims that human races are not biologically valid categories. Many argue the very words ''race'' and ''racial differences'' should be abolished because they support racism. In Race , Vincent Sarich and Frank Miele challenge both these tenets. First, they cite the historical record, the art and literature of other civilizations and cultures, morphological studies, cognitive psychology, and the latest research in medical genetics, forensics, and the human genome to demonstrate that racial differences are not trivial, but very real. They conclude with the paradox that, while, scientific honesty requires forthright recognition of racial differences, public policy should not recognize racial-group membership. The evidence and issues raised in this book will be of critical interest to students of race in behavioral and political science, medicine, and law.

Why Cats are Assholes - Liz Miele - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Why Cats are Assholes - Liz Miele - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Most people love cats. They’re fluffy, playful, and can be a joy to have as a companion. However, they can also be huge assholes. So what can you do? How do you deal with a roommate who always seems to be plotting to kill you? While we all love sharing adorable photos of kittens, these frisky felines are known more for marching to the beat of their own drum than abiding by the rules. From running around your home at two in the morning, knocking everything off your shelves, or taking up most of your bed, these furry critters can be immensely selfish and disrespectful to those who give them endless love and affection. Why Cats Are Assholes is up for such a challenge. From studying their history all the way back to ancient Egypt, comedian Liz Miele—the daughter of veterinarians—digests the cat psyche to try and understand why they do the things they do, and how we, as their loyal servants, can handle domestic bliss with them around. With the help of her cat Pasta, Miele breaks down the common behaviors of cats in an attempt to try and better understand their plan of attack (if there is one), as well as what we can do to better prepare ourselves. Whether you have one, two, or twelve fur babies, Why Cats Are Assholes is the ultimate guide to better understanding your pet’s behavior while taking back your home from these domesticated terrorists.

Runes for the Green Witch - Nicolette Miele - Bog - Inner Traditions Bear and Company - Plusbog.dk

Runes for the Green Witch - Nicolette Miele - Bog - Inner Traditions Bear and Company - Plusbog.dk

A magickal guide to working with runes and plant allies for manifestation, healing, and spellwork. Runes and plants both contain the dynamic and raw energies of Mother Earth and can be used to heal, manifest, protect, and elevate magick. Both support and deepen the nature-human connection that is vital to mind, body, and spirit. And while both can provide us with many benefits on their own, when merged in magickal union, their combined powers are multiplied exponentially. In this magickal grimoire, herbalist witch Nicolette Miele immerses readers in the wisdom and folklore of the 24 Elder Futhark runes as well as their correspondences with deities, astrology, tarot, crystals, and plants. Each chapter begins by discussing the etymology, meanings, mythology, divination, correspondences, and magick of a particular rune and culminates with profiles of several herbs and plants that possess similar magickal energies. Each plant profile delves into the magickal, metaphysical, traditional, and medicinal applications as well as how to work with these incredible plant allies. These profiles also provide examples and tips on how the runes and plants may be combined within spells and ritual for manifesting, protecting, healing, banishing, and more. For example, the author connects Fehu, the rune of wealth and value, with the practice of altar-building, making offerings, and with alfalfa, cedar, dandelion, and other plants traditionally used in abundance and prosperity magick. In the chapter on Kenaz, the rune of heat and illumination, the nature connection is nurtured through the element of fire and a step-by-step bindrune candle ritual. The plants connected with Kenaz are those that embody the characteristics of fire—such as passion, ferocity, and sexuality—and include clove, damiana, and kava kava. Guiding the green witch through the benefits and strengths of synergistic magick, this book helps eclectic magickal practioners advance their craft through folk magick and medicine, rituals, meditations, spells, and the soulful process of rewilding and connecting with Mother Nature.

Children, Food and Nature - Mara Miele - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Children, Food and Nature - Mara Miele - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Children and young people''s food practices and lifestyles are perhaps more visible and contested than ever before. Increased levels of public and media debate concerning young people''s health, leisure and dietry activities has led to a number of recent policy initiatives aimed at improving the quality and healthiness of meals offered in schools. However, very little is known about how these policies affect children''s (and their families'') food habits, and how they intervene in what children know, think and feel about food and where food comes from. Taking a Science, Technology and Society (STS) perspective, this book offers a groundbreaking and comparative research-based study on how the recent ''healthy meals'' policies are affecting children''s practices both in the UK and in Italy. By looking at the trajectories of connections and disconnections that food - understood as a liminal object - makes with children''s bodies, other animals and plants, and by examining how these connections are enacted in children''s food practices, the book offers insights in the complexities of children''s learning about food and in the bio-politics around school meals in the UK and in Italy. The book advances the food consumption literature and school meals agenda and is essential reading for scholars, policy makers and practitioners working in food studies, education, children and youth studies, environmental studies and dietry studies.
