I have always loved
sports and over the years
I
enjoy competing, especially at Mini-Golf! Here I
am today on the left and with my late brother Leroy
Sievers
on the right battling it out!
It's always fun to add a new book to my library!
Here's the latest I found from Charles Darwin entitled: The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1897)
Certainly a book for anyone who has enjoyed animals!
Mark Ridley of Scientific American
writes:
"The Expression of the
Emotions in Man and Animals is
one
of Darwin's most readable works. It is alive with anecdotes,
literary
quotations and his own observations of his friends
and children. Artificial intelligence nerds, neuropsychiatric
white-coats and magazine psychobabblers all have some way
to go in understanding the emotions, and there will be no
better inspiration for them (and the rest of us) than the ideas
of one of the master intellects of all time"

By the way, not all
knowledge is best found on the internet,
when
you read the original work, a
unique understanding is
gained. Books
of historical significance will
always have a place
in our field. They give
us the opportunity to view the
authors
in the context of their work
and in their time. Not long ago
I
found a quote attributed to William James and discovered that
he had
been misquoted for decades. The message here is that it
pays to read the
original. With libraries closing
around the world,
we have a great opportunity to acquire wonderful
books
for
ourselves.
Here's part of my Psychology Library and how
I built it.
The
Journal of Undergraduate Neuroscience Education
has just published their REVIEW of my textbook
Discovering Biological Psychology. I would like to sincerely
thank the Journal for their very supportive review.
If you have a chance, I would appreciate your feedback! _________________________________________
