I am so proud of my wife for letting me talk her into writing this book. It really was the best book I had ever eaten. She's an amazing person, too. I would like to take this opportunity to say what a life saver it has been for me. After being married for 46 years, she suffered a stroke three years ago. I am her caregiver now, and one of my biggest worries was to be able to manage our meals. As someone who appreciated the kitchen as a nice place to get a drink of water, I can truly say that I can make more delicious meals than I ever believed I could. This book was a life saver, having it now has made things so easy. Anyone who wants hearty, delicious meals like Granny used to make needs this book for themselves, do it, get a copy and enjoy the delicious recipes for dinners and sides that really are as good as they look. Thank you.
Words as Social Tools: An Embodied View on Abstract Concepts

How are abstract concepts and words represented in the brain? That is the central question addressed by the authors of “Words as Social Tools: An Embodied View on Abstract Concepts”. First, they focus on the difficulties in defining what abstract concepts and words are, and what they mean in psycholinguistic research. Then the authors go on to describe and critically discuss the main theories on this topic with a special emphasis on the different embodied and grounded theories proposed in cognitive psychology within the last ten years, highlighting the advantages and limitations of each of these theories. The core of this Brief consists of the presentation of a new theory developed by the authors, the WAT (Words As social Tools) view, according to which both sensorimotor (such as perception, action, emotional experiences) and linguistic experiences are at the basis of abstract concepts and of abstract word representation, processing and use. This theory assigns a major role to acquisition: one of the assumptions the authors make is that the different ways in which concrete and abstract words are acquired constrain their brain representation and their use. This view will be compared with the main existing theories on abstractness, from the theory of conceptual metaphors to the theories on multiple representation. Finally, the volume illustrates recent evidence from different areas (developmental, behavioral, cross-cultural, neuropsychological and neural) which converge with and support the authors' theory, leading to the conclusion that in order to account for representation and processing of abstract concepts and words, an extension of embodied and grounded theories is necessary.

The intimate journal of a troubled young girl wrestling with addiction, destructive behavior, bulimia and rampant promiscuity... Foreword: My ex-husband, R. C., is the one who got me to write this memoir. He's the one who pushed and prodded and kicked my ass and, since I'm not much of a writer, the one who actually got it all down on paper. The result, what spewed out, is a graphic, sometimes painfully explicit story centered around the sex life of a young girl (me ) who, among other things, started having sex at fourteen and stripping at fifteen. A story that basically can't be told because, in our rational and enlightened society, it is absolutely forbidden to write about underage persons and sex in the same sentence, let alone devote an entire book to it This is because the studied, moral and political position of our society seems to be that people under a certain age should know absolutely nothing about sex. At all cost, they must be protected from such knowledge because (it is reasoned) their ignorance will not only keep them from entering puberty and having sexual feelings, it will also presumably keep them from getting pregnant or contracting AIDs. My goal in writing this, my raison d' tre, is to help others who may be going through what I went through. To show other troubled teenagers that they are not freaks; that they are not alone; that they can survive But that's not gonna happen. Not bloody likely. At best, this is an adult story that will be proscribed even for adults and, if anybody is going to read this book, sadly, it will not be those who need it most. Whatever. --Anna M. Ferkuniak
