Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human

Tue, 16 Sep 2025
Explores the multifaceted nature of the mind, proposing it extends beyond mere brain activity to encompass an embodied and relational process that regulates the flow of energy and information. This perspective suggests the mind is not solely confined to the skull but exists within us (our body and brain) and between us (our relationships and environment). A central theme is integration, described as the linkage of differentiated parts into a coherent whole, which is presented as the basis of mental health, leading to a "FACES" flow of harmony, flexibility, adaptiveness, coherence, energy, and stability. Conversely, impaired integration manifests as chaos or rigidity in mental states. The author also discusses the importance of subjective experience, mindsight (insight, empathy, and integration), and the interplay between "bottom-up" conduit processing (direct sensation) and "top-down" constructor processing (conceptual filtering) in shaping our perception and identity.

Milk: The Biology of Lactation

Tue, 16 Sep 2025
Explores the multifaceted nature of milk, moving beyond its role as mere sustenance. It examines the evolutionary history of lactation, tracing its ancient origins in synapsid ancestors and its development into the complex system seen in modern mammals. The book also details the biochemical complexity of milk, identifying key molecules like casein proteins, lactalbumin, and oligosaccharides, and discusses their roles in both nutrition and biological signaling. Furthermore, it investigates how milk acts as a protective and guiding mechanism for offspring, influencing development, immune function, and the gut microbiome, while also considering the impact of human evolutionary history and modern practices on milk composition and breastfeeding. Finally, the text highlights the remarkable diversity of lactation strategies across mammalian species and underscores the intricate interplay of maternal and offspring factors.

Military Politics and Democracy in the Andes

Mon, 15 Sep 2025
Explores the complex roles and behaviors of the armed forces in Peru and Ecuador, particularly focusing on their engagement—or lack thereof—in missions beyond traditional external defense. The book examines how military actions are shaped by institutional interests, organizational traumas, and the evolving political landscape in post-transition democracies. Through a comparative analysis, it reveals patterns of mission performance, including reluctant engagement in policing and counterinsurgency, and highlights the influence of factors such as government mandates, public legitimacy, resource availability, and the desire to maintain professionalism. The research also touches on issues of human rights, corruption, and the military's interactions with civilian authorities and private entities in both nations.

The sources also shed light on the social and cultural perceptions of migraine, highlighting how class, gender, and societal expectations influenced diagnosis and patient experience, as well as the growing patient advocacy and the role of art in expressing the lived reality of chronic pain. Finally, the text touches upon the impact of technology, such as digitization and online communities, on both historical research and contemporary patient support.
