This book concerns the 'cognitivist' or 'information processing'
approach to psychology, what it is (was?), how it originated, and
whether and how desirable it is to look for ways that go beyond it.
The roots of cognitivism lie deep in the history of Western
thought, and to develop a genuinely post-cognitivist psychology,
this investigation goes back to presuppositions descended from
Platonic/Cartesian assumptions and beliefs about the nature of
thought. It then tackles the practical question of how might
psychologists (and linguists and philosophers) 'do' post-
cognitivism? Will the psychology go on with merely the 'theoretical
backdrop' changed, or will post-cognitivism require the development
of new approaches and new methodologies?
This is Book #1 in the COLD JUSTICE series. Justice isn't always
black or white. Sometimes it's cold and dark. Former CIA assassin
Alex Parker works for The Gateway Project, a clandestine government
organization hell-bent on taking out serial killers and pedophiles
before they enter the justice system. Alex doesn't enjoy killing,
but he's damn good at it. He's good at dodging the law, too-until a
beautiful rookie agent has him wondering what it might be like to
get caught. FBI Special Agent Mallory Rooney has spent years
hunting the lowlife who abducted her identical twin sister eighteen
years ago. Now, during an on-going serial killer investigation,
Mallory begins to suspect there's a vigilante operating outside the
law. She has no choice but to take him down, because murder isn't
justice. Is it? When Mallory starts asking questions, The Gateway
Project management starts to sweat, and orders Alex to watch her.
As soon as they meet, the two begin to fall in love. But the lies
and betrayals that define Alex's life threaten to destroy them
both-especially when the man who stole her sister all those years
ago makes Mallory his next target, and Alex must reveal his true
identity to save the woman he loves.
Running for her life, ex-FBI agent Elizabeth Ward escapes to
Montana with a new identity. She craves peace and solitude, but
instead finds handsome rancher, Nat Sullivan. Nat is trying to hold
his ailing family together, while struggling to keep the ranch from
bankruptcy. The last thing he needs is a beautiful stranger
reminding him there is more to life than work. But Elizabeth isn't
what she seems. And when a murderer and rapist track her down to
the remote ranch, they all find out about the power of revenge.
Revenge or Redemption. Which would you choose?
Some Long and some very Tall stories are told here. See how this
Mom's poetry "Shows and Tells" a tale or two The expression "Pass
It On" can have many meanings, but here it can only refer to a
mother reminiscing about earlier times in her life that she desires
to share with others. Any young parent might find this enjoyable as
they deal with their own children underfoot most of the time.
Grandparents will be reminded of some past events in their own
lives as Toni brings them to life here once more. There are stories
in our history that should NEVER be forgotten So, pass them on
Numerous object lessons are in plain sight here as our writer
shares her own heart regarding dealings in her personal life and
that of her own children and grandchildren. These stories are told
in a rhyming pattern with illustrations drawn by her own
grandchildren. She soon realized that other parents might also
enjoy these storytelling adventures too. The smallest members of
our household face fears that are addressed here as well. Be sure
to place this short read near your children's bed stand to read at
night, before tucking them in, or anytime of the day for that
matter. You as a reader may find your children wanting to also draw
their own pictures from the poems in this book. You can be sure
each picture they draw will be refrigerator worthy too Some parents
may be inspired to begin their own book that takes us on a journey
down their own "Memory Lane," as is true here about Toni's Book.
Watch for more Poetry Stories to come. This is the first of many
"High Flying Tales." Now I've warned you, be on the lookout for
anything that flies.: -}: -}: -} In the author's own words: "A Kite
Named Jack and Other Rhymes portrays the fears and imaginations
faced daily by all children based on my own childhood memories.
This collection of rhymes hopefully embraces creativity while
promoting manners and morals with a substantial message attached to
each and every one. This book was dedicated to my grandchildren and
they provided the illustrations as well. Featured on Amazon, Barnes
and Noble and ITunes, I am proud to be a new author as it is a life
long dream come true.
