This study investigated the use of Articulated (spoken aloud) Thought Disputation (ATD) as a method of addressing the perceived weaknesses in the REBT model’s transferability from the clinical to real world experiences.  These data suggest there was no overall difference between the...

This book is a theory of everything and it is based on a very simple concept. Everything from atoms to gravitation, psychology, economics and sociology to name a few are all easily explained in terms of equilibrium and disequilibrium. This book is about how re-examining the use of the word "force"...

天擇也許能解釋「適者生存」，但無法解釋「適存者的到來」。 大師級科學家華格納提出「創新力法則」，揭開演化令人震驚的隱藏結構！ ▍《金融時報》2015年度選書 ▍清華大學生命科學系助理教授黃貞祥＿策劃、審訂、導讀 ▍臺灣大學生命科學系副教授丁照棣＿專文推薦 達爾文發表《物種起源》的百餘年後，始終存在耐人尋味的一道難題： 自然界中的「創新」究竟是如何發生的？ 一八五九年，達爾文發表《物種起源》，他的天擇理論解釋了有用的適應性如何隨時間被保存下來，但同時也製造了演化的最大疑問：「生物的適應性是怎麼出現的？」 地球上第一個生命誕生至今，三十八億年間發生的隨機突變，真的可以為翅膀、眼球、偽裝、乳糖消化、光合作用，以及其他自然創造的驚奇負責嗎？假若答案是否定的，那麼演化的速度和相對效率背後的機制又是什麼呢？ 當年達爾文不知道什麼是突變、基因、DNA雙螺旋、轉錄與轉譯作用、DNA定序，也缺乏遺傳學、生物化學、分子生物學甚至處理大量資訊的知識和技術，但他早在一百六十年前提出的遠大洞見開啟了生物學百家爭鳴般的精采發現——如今，我們終於有能力朝「生物適應性的出現」這個巨大謎團靠近了！ 全球知名的演化生物學家安德里亞斯．華格納憑藉超過十五年的研究，呈現出達爾文理論遺失的拼圖。利用早期科學家意想不到的實驗性及計算性技術，他發現驅動適應的不只是偶然，而是一套法則，允許大自然在隨機變異上花費的小部分時間裡，發現新的分子與運作機制。 一絲不苟地研究、仔細地論證、充滿感召力地寫作，並列舉了五花八門又迷人的實例，《生命如何創新》獻上生命豐富多樣性謎團的最後一片拼圖。 ▍同聲推薦 李文雄（中央研究院院士，生物多樣性研究中心特聘研究員） 林仲平（國立台灣師範大學生命科學系教授） 李壽先（國立台灣師範大學生命科學系教授） 蔡怡陞（生物多樣性研究中心助研究員） 鄭國威（PanSci泛科學總編輯） 顏聖紘（國立中山大學生物科學系副教授） ▍媒體書評 ★...

Psychology considered as the science of human behavior is concerned with man's response to the impressions made upon him by objects, people, and events. They make up the situations that he meets. Behavior--the individual's way of dealing with these situations--if not a complete failure, results finally...

Do the photoplays furnish us only a photographic reproduction of a stage performance; is their aim thus simply to be an inexpensive substitute for the real theater, and is their esthetic standing accordingly far below that of the true dramatic art, related to it as the photograph of a painting to...
