Описание: Successful, self-published author of "The Most Loved" Leandrea Rivers, is at it again. This time, with a brilliant and masterful collaborative poetry series. "Dare I Express It" features two talented poets: Ms. Rivers and Dwayne McLendon. This first volume of the "Dare I Express It" series explores the journeys of true love, love lost and love found. What's unique is Leandrea Rivers' ability to shed light on the beauty of self-love, acceptance of others and passionate need for romance. Rivers believes every young girl dreams of being a princess. Unfortunately, when these same girls become women, they realize a few frogs may have to be kissed before they experience their prince charming rescuing them. She eloquently captures the want and need of women desiring men who have the knowledge and ability to display chivalry, engage in intriguing dialogue and men with a zest for life. Her poems (I Wish I Hadn't Told You, I Should Have Been and Words Spoken) are insightful, encouraging, divinely beautiful and most of all, eye opening. This collection of poems parallel the four seasons that so many of us face; light rains, intense heat, brisk passing winds, and brutal cold. Dwayne McLendon explores conversations surrounding "Judgment", the idea that "Realistically, we pre-judge people and people don't change, they're portraying who they really are " McLendon begs to differ and offers poems (Who Says Men Don't Cry, No Assembly Required, and I'm For Real) that unchain our thoughts and cast down many of the stereotypes that women and men place on each other. Once unchained, we are left with insight to help us produce healthy and harmonious relationships-both romantic and platonic. He challenges the reader to relinquish any prejudices and concentrate on redefining "self" instead. Ladies are ushered into the heart and thoughts of a man and gentlemen are given discerning, yet positive perspectives about manhood ...Dare I Express It
In The Psychology of Inequality, Michael Locke McLendon looks to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's thought for insight into the personal and social pathologies that plague commercial and democratic societies. He emphasizes the way Rousseau appropriated and modified the notion of self-love, or amour-propre, found in Augustine and various early modern thinkers. McLendon traces the concept in Rousseau's work and reveals it to be a form of selfish vanity that mimics aspects of Homeric honor culture and, in the modern world, shapes the outlook of the wealthy and powerful as well as the underlying assumptions of meritocratic ideals. According to McLendon, Rousseau's elucidation of amour-propre describes a desire for glory and preeminence that can be dangerously antisocial, as those who believe themselves superior derive pleasure from dominating and even harming those they consider beneath them. Drawing on Rousseau's insights, McLendon asserts that certain forms of inequality, especially those associated with classical aristocracy and modern-day meritocracy, can corrupt the mindsets and personalities of people in socially disruptive ways. The Psychology of Inequality shows how amour-propre can be transformed into the demand for praise, whether or not one displays praiseworthy qualities, and demonstrates the ways in which this pathology continues to play a leading role in the psychology and politics of modern liberal democracies.
Описание: The book considers foundational thinking in quantum theory, focusing on the role the fundamental principles and principle thinking there, including thinking that leads to the invention of new principles, which is, the book contends, one of the ultimate achievements of theoretical thinking in physics and beyond.
