The New Cuban Presence In The Caribbean

By: Barry B Levine,Franklin W Knight

The Caribbean area projects an image—not entirely accurate—of instability, and it is within that context that the United States and Cuba, the region's chief protagonists, struggle. This book explores in detail the history and nature of Cuba's influence in the Commonwealth Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and South America, as well as its relations wi

Social Learning and Cognition

By: Ted L. Rosenthal,Barry J. Zimmerman

Social Learning and Cognition examines the cognitive mechanisms of social learning and the social learning determinants of cognitive competencies. The explanatory principles of social learning are applied to the highest manifestations of human intellect: judgment, language, and thought. The book also explicates a social learning perspective on the social origins of complex abilities, and how these progressively evolve as children grow older. Comprised of four chapters, this book begins with a discussion on the interrelationships among cognition, behavior change, and social learning. Cognitive explanations for human behavior, and the kinds of evidence cited by cognitive theorists in support of their position, are considered, along with the major psychological theories that address abstract, rule-governed activities. The second chapter deals with children's acquisition and refinement of language, paying particular attention to the objections and misunderstandings raised by psycholinguists to counter modeling explanations of language learning. The third chapter examines relational judgments and categorical decisions and presents evidence showing that diverse modeling procedures can be powerful influences on language and verbal behavior. The final chapter summarizes and integrates research bearing upon the effect of modeling influences on a wide diversity of conceptual activities, ranging from the formation of simple concepts to elaborate intellectual demands that involve complex styles of reasoning and strategies for seeking and organizing information. This monograph is intended for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals from such diverse fields as child development, social psychology, psychiatry, social work, clinical psychology, education, and rehabilitation.

Say No to Aging: How Nitric Oxide (No) Prolongs Life

By: T. Barry Levine,MD Arlene Bradley Levine

In Say NO to Aging, physicians T. Barry and Arlene B. Levine answer the urgent question: How can we slow and reverse aging's relentless advance? Using stories and examples, the authors guide us through our bodies at the cellular level, showing how lifestyle choices affect the biochemistry of disease and aging. Mitochondria, telomeres, longevity genes, adult stem cells, and cell protection mechanisms keep us healthy for many decades, but they are not infinitely renewable. Say NO to Aging explains how the diseases of aging set in.Say NO to Aging introduces readers to nitric oxide (NO) – a tiny, but immensely important molecule that replenishes our non-renewable life resources and rejuvenates the blood vessels, heart, metabolism, and brain. We can delay aging with easy, yet powerful, lifestyle changes. Drs. Levine provide detailed recommendations on food choices, diets, exercise, and stress reduction practices. They explain how these changes slow the aging process-and protect us against many chronic and lethal diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The authors show how modern science has incorporated ancient wisdom that first posited an active life lived in harmony and moderation is the healthiest possible choice that says NO to aging.

Reflections on a Puerto Rican Life

Benjy Lopez : a Picaresque Tale of Emigration and Return

By: Barry B. Levine

Hailed as a "masterpiece" in Newsweek magazine by Yale art historian Robert Ferris Thompson, the life history of Benjy Lopez is now available in an expanded edition which includes his return to and life in Puerto Rico as a successful businessman. This engaging and graceful account is a pioneering vision exposing the half-truth that the typical experience of the ordinary Puerto Rican, particularly of the Puerto Rican transposed to New York City, is exclusively defined by privation, fear, prejudice, and culture shock. In this work, Barry B. Levine successfully combats the myth of the victimized immigrant, proposing a picaresque sociology that acknowledges an actor's agency even under the most difficult circumstances. "This book is a classic ... one hell of an insight into the sharpening of mind and spirit that results from constantly improvising under pressure in a multicultural world. Levine has pulled off a multicultural masterpiece. ... Some of Benjy's adventures run parallel to the blends of the world of New York Latino popular dance music." -- Robert Farris Thompson, author of Tango: The Art History of Love in the preface to this edition
