Your Baby's Bottle-feeding Aversion
An infant bottle-feeding aversion is one of the most complex, stressful and confusing situations parents could face.

Achievement Relocked
How game designers can use the psychological phenomenon of loss aversion to shape player experience. Getting something makes you feel good, and losing something makes you feel bad. But losing something makes you feel worse than getting the same thing makes you feel good. So finding $10 is a thrill; losing $10 is a tragedy. On an 'intensity of feeling' scale, loss is more intense than gain. This is the core psychological concept of loss aversion, and in this book game creator Geoffrey Engelstein explains, with examples from both tabletop and video games, how it can be a tool in game design. Loss aversion is a profound aspect of human psychology, and directly relevant to game design; it is a tool the game designer can use to elicit particular emotions in players. Engelstein connects the psychology of loss aversion to a range of phenomena related to games, exploring, for example, the endowment effect-why, when an object is ours, it gains value over an equivalent object that is not

Onyeabor, William: Great Lover
Have you guys been checking out the different Onyeabor covers? It always seems he was playing a role with each one. As someone who never wanted to talk about himself, even back when he made these albums perhaps that was a way for him to further obscure who he really was. As we have said before, though we do talk to him almost every week, we never get the impression that his aversion to talking about his music making days has changed much. Enjoy.

On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society
The good news is that the vast majority of soldiers are loath to kill in battle. Unfortunately, modern armies, using Pavlovian and operant conditioning have developed sophisticated ways of overcoming this instinctive aversion. The psychological cost for soldiers, as witnessed by the increase in post-traumatic stress, is devastating. The psychological cost for the rest of us is even more so: contemporary civilian society, particularly the media, replicates the army's conditioning techniques and, according to Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's thesis, is responsible for our rising rate of murder among the young. Upon its first publication, ON KILLING was hailed as a landmark study of the techniques the military uses to overcome the powerful reluctance to kill, of how killing affects the soldier, and of the societal implications of escalating violence. Now, Grossman has updated this classic work to include information on 21st-century military conflicts, recent crime rates, suicide bombings, school

Deep Weird
This book is about the stranger reaches of extraordinary experience research. In these pages an intrepid cast of writers, investigators and academics explore the complexities of extraordinary experience, and consider why it is that some of the most unusual experiential reports - what we might call 'high strangeness' experiences - come to be neglected, even in what is already a relatively fringe field of inquiry. The aversion to the most unusual forms of extraordinary experience has resulted in a gulf between the kinds of experiences discussed in the academic parapsychological literature and those experiences discussed by Fortean and popular paranormal researchers, who have more frequently been able to discuss a broader range of extraordinary experiential accounts - from UFO encounters to Bigfoot and fairy sightings, and everything in between. Notwithstanding this divide, there are significant themes that run throughout the established academic literature on religious and extraordinary

Sedan deras gemensamme vän Karrer blev intagen på sinnessjukhus är Oehler och den namnlöse berättaren ute och går inte bara på onsdagar, som tidigare, utan nu även på måndagar. En av dem har rocken knäppt, den andre sin öppen, en föredrar smalbrättad hatt, den andre bredbrättad, en tumvantar, den andre handskar, men gemensamt hyser de en aversion mot den österrikiska staten och den i deras tycke fördummade mänskligheten. Medan de är ute och går framkommer omständigheterna kring Karrers galenskap, som de båda anser är slutgiltig.Thomas Bernhard (1931–1989) föddes i Holland men växte upp hos sina morföräldrar i Österrike. Han debuterade 1957 som poet, men är mest känd som roman- och pjäsförfattare. Under sin livstid emottog han ett stort antal litterära priser och hans författarskap anses än idag som ett av efterkrigstidens mest betydande. Gå kom ut 1971.Boken är översatt av Jan Erik Bornlid.
