ISBN: 9780802118042Grove/Atlantic, 10 October 2005Hardback, 410 pagesUsing Charles Darwin's survey of emotions as a starting point, Stuart Wilson's A Natural History of Human Emotions examines the history of each of our core emotions - fear, anger, disgust, sadness, jealousy, contempt, shame, embarrassment, surprise, and happiness - and how these emotions have influenced both cultural and social history. We learn that primitive fear served as the engine of religious belief, while a desire for happiness led to humankind's first musings on achieving a perfect utopia. Challenging the notion that human emotion has remained constant, A Natural History of Human Emotions explains why in the last 250 years, society has changed its unwritten rules for what can be expressed in public and in private. Our private lives have benefited from greater emotional honesty, while some emotions, such as anger, now seem to dominate public discourse., 0, ISBN: 9780349115795Time Warner Books Uk | 01 July 2003Paperback | 256 pagesOur world is far richer than previously conceived, yet so ravaged by human activity that half its species could be gone by the end of the present century. These two contrasting themes--unexpected magnificence and underestimated peril--have originated during the past two decades of research. In this timely and important new book, one of our greatest living scientists describes exactly what treasures of the natural world we are about to lose forever and what we can do right now to save them. Destruction of natural habitats, the rampant spread of invasive species, pollution, uncontrolled population growth and overharvesting are the main threats to our natural world. Wilson explains how each of these elements works to undo the web of life that supports us, and why it is in our best interests to stop it. THE FUTURE OF LIFE is a magisterial accomplishment - both a moving description of the world's astonishing animals and plants and a guidebook for the protection of all its species, including our own., 0, Jossey-Bass, 2001-10-15.

San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Inc, 2001. (USA) 1st printing. No markigns, Fine in Fine dust jacket Boards, 315pp, index, no illus. a few B&W diagrams. From the dust jacket In this astonishing, provocative, and solidly researched book, two Harvard Business School professors synthesize 200 years of thought along with the latest research drawn from the biological and social sciences to propose a new theory, a unified synthesis of human nature. Paul Lawrence and Nitin Nohria have studied the way people behave in that most fascinating arena of human behavior-the workplace-and from their work they produce a book that examines the four separate and distinct emotive drives that guide human behavior and influence the choices people make: the drives to acquire, bond, learn, and defend. They ultimately show that, just as advances in information technology have spurred the New Economy in the last quarter of the twentieth century, current advances in biology will be the key to understanding humans and organizations in the new millennium.
