While skinny-dipping in a pool polluted with radioactive waste, Thaxton is afflicted with superpowers all his own and becomes that which he most scorns. A radiation-induced ailment, the Philistine Syndrome, forces him to assume the...

Alongside his own story, that of a youthful humanist...

These worlds are transposed when a government experiment sends him over a million years back in time. Here, John builds a new life as part of a tribe of protohumans.

The Good Life: Unifying the Philosophy and Psychology of Well-Being
ISBN: 9780199923113 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Philosophers defend theories of what well-being is but ignore what psychologists have learned about it, while psychologists learn about well-being but lack a theory of what it is. In The Good Life, Michael Bishop brings together these complementary investigations and proposes a powerful, new theory for understanding well-being. The network theory holds that to have well-being is to be "stuck" in a self-perpetuating cycle of positive emotions, attitudes, traits and accomplishments. For someone with well-being, these states -- states such as joy and contentment, optimism and...

[The place,] that is, where beauty is named'....
