Understanding the Human Mind

Drawing on current research in anthropology, cognitive psychology, neuroscience and the humanities, Understanding the Human Mind explores how and why we, as humans, find it so easy to believe we are right--even when we are outright wrong. Humans live out their own lives effectively trapped in their own mind and, despite being exceptional survivors and a highly social species, our inner mental world is often misaligned with reality. In order to understand why, John Edward Terrell and Gabriel Stowe Terrell suggest current dual-process models of the mind overlook our mind's most decisive and unpredictable mode: creativity. Using a three-dimensional model of the mind, the authors examine the human struggle to stay in touch with reality--how we succeed, how we fail and how winning this struggle is key to our survival in an age of mounting social problems of our own making. Using news stories of logic-defying behavior, analogies to famous fictitious characters and analysis of evolutionary and cognitive psychology theory, this fascinating account of how the mind works is a must-read for all interested in anthropology and cognitive psychology.

John Terrell provides a clear exposition of this Bible book that many Christians today struggle to understand.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION CHAPTER TWO: "THOU ART MY SON" CHAPTER THREE: THE AUTHOR OF OUR SALVATION CHAPTER FOUR: OUR CONFESSION AND REST CHAPTER FIVE: A LIVING WORD AND A GREAT HIGH PRIEST CHAPTER SIX: SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND SOLEMN WARNING CHAPTER SEVEN: A UNIQUE PRIESTHOOD CHAPTER EIGHT: THE PERFECT HIGH PRIEST CHAPTER NINE: COVENANTS OLD AND NEW CHAPTER TEN: THE GOOD THING TO COME CHAPTER ELEVEN: PERFECTED FOR EVER CHAPTER TWELVE: TO ENTER THE HOLY PLACE CHAPTER THIRTEEN: A FEARFUL THING CHAPTER FOURTEEN: BY FAITH WE UNDERSTAND CHAPTER FIFTEEN: NOT ASHAMED TO BE CALLED THEIR BRETHREN CHAPTER SIXTEEN: LET US RUN WITH ENDURANCE CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: EARTHLY DISCIPLINE - HEAVENLY VISION CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: COMPLETE ...

How do researchers use dynamic network analysis (DYRA) to explore, model, and try to understand the complex global history of our species? Reduced to bare bones, network analysis is a way of understanding the world around us -- a way called relational thinking -- that is liberating but challenging. Using this handbook, researchers learn to develop historical and archaeological research questions anchored in DYRA. Undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professional historians and archaeologists can consult on issues that range from hypothesis-driven research to critiquing dominant historical narratives, especially those that have tended to ignore the diversity of the archaeological record.
