How to Find Love (0995573697)

Choosing a partner is one of the most consequential and tricky decisions we will ever make. The cost of repeated failure is immense. And yet we are often so alone with the search.

This should be an improvement, but our emotions often pull us towards hugely problematic characters and dynamics. How to Find Love explains why we have the 'types' we do - and how our early experiences give us scripts of how and whom we can love.

Judicial Review in New Democracies : Constitutional Courts in Asian Cases (0521520398)

New democracies around the world have adopted constitutional courts to oversee the operation of democratic politics. Where does judicial power come from, how does it develop in the early stages of democratic liberalization, and what political conditions support its expansion? This book answers these questions through an examination of three constitutional courts in Asia: Taiwan, Korea, and Mongolia. In a region that has traditionally viewed law as a tool of authoritarian rulers, constitutional courts in these three societies are becoming a real constraint on government. In contrast with conventional culturalist accounts, this book argues that the design and functioning of constitutional review are largely a function of politics and interests. Judicial review - the power of judges to rule an act of a legislature or national leader unconstitutional - is a solution to the problem of uncertainty in constitutional design. By providing 'insurance' to prospective electoral losers, ju...

Frauen als Fliegerinnen die weibliche Eroberung des Luftraums von der Pionierzeit bis in den Zweiten Weltkrieg.Die ersten Fliegerinnen waren keine Ikonen der Emanzipation, sie folgten den gesellschaftlichen, ökonomischen und politischen Herausforderungen ihrer Zeit: In den 1920er und 1930er Jahren wurden sie auf ihren Fernflügen zu Botschafterinnen Deutschlands; im Zweiten Weltkrieg lieferte ein Dutzend Frauen als Überführungsfliegerinnen Flugzeuge an die Front, andere leiteten Reparaturwerften und bildeten als Fluglehrerinnen im Rahmen des Nationalsozialistischen Fliegerkorps Rekruten der Luftwaffe aus.

The Heart of William James (9780674065994)

On the one hundredth anniversary of the death of William James, Robert Richardson, author of the magisterial William James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism, assembles a wide-ranging selection of essays and writings that reveal the evolution of James's thought over time, especially as it was continually being shaped by the converging influences of psychology, philosophy, and religion throughout his life. Proceeding chronologically, the volume begins with "What Is an Emotion," James's early, notable, and still controversial argument that many of our emotions follow from (rather than cause) physical or physiological reactions. The book concludes with "The Moral Equivalent of War," one of the greatest anti-war pieces ever written, perhaps even more relevant now than when it was first published. In between, in essays on "The Dilemma of Determinism," "The Hidden Self," "Habit," and "The Will"; in chapters from The Pr...
