This book aims to answer the teacher's need to help students conquer communication apprehension and develop confidence using an alternative training method. It is the result of years of successful experimentations with nontraditional techniques in the classrooms of the University of the Philippines, Diliman. It shows the step-by-step procedure that the teacher can use to help students in any oral communication or performance classes. Other specific courses that will benefit from this technique are acting for stage or television, broadcasting, music, dance, sports, and even marketing.

Cognitive science arose in the 1950s when it became apparent that a number of disciplines, including psychology, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy, were fragmenting. Perhaps owing to the field's immediate origins in cybernetics, as well as to the foundational assumption that cognition is information processing, cognitive science initially seemed more unified than psychology. However, as a result of differing interpretations of the foundational assumption and dramatically divergent views of the meaning of the term information processing, three separate schools emerged: classical cognitive science, connectionist cognitive science, and embodied cognitive science. Examples, cases, and research findings taken from the wide range of phenomena studied by cognitive scientists effectively explain and explore the relationship among the three perspectives. Intended to introduce both graduate and senior undergraduate students to the foundations of cognitive science, Mind, Body, World addresses a number of questions currently being asked by those practicing in the field: What are the core assumptions of the three different schools? What are the relationships between these different sets of core assumptions? Is there only one cognitive science, or are there many different cognitive sciences? Giving the schools equal treatment and displaying a broad and deep understanding of the field, Dawson highlights the fundamental tensions and lines of fragmentation that exist among the schools and provides a refreshing and unifying framework for students of cognitive science.

The author's 15-year struggle with a then-inoperable brain tumor led to her discovery of the "seedthoughts" and "core beliefs" that link one's mind and body. In this book, Levine shows, via simple, nonmedical language and 53 self-help exercises, how one can use an illness as a vehicle for increased self-understanding and healing.
