Mirroring People: The New Science of How We Connect with Others
What accounts for the remarkable ability to get inside another person’s head—to know what they’re thinking and feeling? “Mind reading” is the very heart of what it means to be human, creating a bridge between self and others that is fundamental to the development of culture and society. But until recently, scientists didn’t understand what in the brain makes it possible. This has all changed in the last decade. Marco Iacoboni, a leading neuroscientist whose work has been covered in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal, explains the groundbreaking research into mirror neurons, the “smart cells” in our brain that allow us to understand others. From imitation to morality, from learning to addiction, from political affiliations to consumer choices, mirror neurons seem to have properties that are relevant to all these aspects of social cognition. As The New York Times reports: “The discovery is shaking up numerous scientific disciplines, shifting the understanding of culture, empathy, philosophy, language, imitation, autism and psychotherapy.” Mirroring People is the first book for the general reader on this revolutionary new science. .

Team Mirroring Illusions and Realities of Team Dynamics and Development
TEAM MIRRORING Illusions and Realities of Team Dynamics and Development Team Mirroring is a powerful tool for understanding and managing the emotional dynamics of teamwork By better understanding the interpersonal relationships associated with teams, you can hone your abilities to communicate your own emotions along with accurately reading the emotions of teammates--thus minimizing falling into patterns of destructive competitiveness, unhealthy conflict, and unproductive hostility that may derail the team's work. In this book, the concepts of team mirroring are developed using real world scenarios fo working teams and how they made the technique work to improve their performance. What better way to see concepts than with pragmatic images? The Team Mirroring process is an opportunity to constructively expand beyond the ordinary demands of the team. It can revolutionize the way you approach the barriers to thinking and working together in an aware and mindful way--and it can be a fun way to learn..

Mirror Neuron Systems: The Role of Mirroring Processes in Social Cognition (Contemporary Neuroscience)
The discovery of mirror neurons and of a mirror neuron system in the human brain raises the interesting possibility that “mirroring” may constitute novel instances of mental simulation It also provides the basis for unique processes such as “mindreading”, the ability to make inferences about the actions of others. That an elementary process in motor cognition may be foundational to mindreading goes a long way in providing a rational basis for the study of social cognition. Social cognition is a broad discipline that encompasses many issues not yet adequately addressed by neurobiologists. In Mirror Neuron Systems: The Role of Mirroring Processes in Social Cognition, leading thinkers in this nascent field craft chapters aimed at sparking a dialogue regarding the relevance of mirroring neural systems in cognition. Thought-provoking and cutting-edge, Mirror Neuron Systems: The Role of Mirroring Processes in Social Cognition provides the basis for extended discussion among interested readers and lays down the guidelines for future research in this fascinating and expanding field. It addresses issues common to different perspectives, raises contrary views, and creates the basis for an extended dialogue and discussion. .

Mirroring the Past: The Writing And Use of History in Imperial China
China is known for its deep veneration of history Far more than a record of the past, history to the Chinese is the magister vitae (teacher of life): the storehouse of moral lessons and bureaucratic precedents. Mirroring the Past presents a comprehensive history of traditional Chinese historiography from antiquity to the mid-Qing period. Organized chronologically, the book traces the development of historical thinking and writing in Imperial China, beginning with the earliest forms of historical consciousness and ending with adumbrations of the fundamentally different views engendered by mid-nineteenth-encounters with the West. The historiography of each era is explored on two levels: first, the gathering of material and the writing and production of narratives to describe past events; second, the thinking and reflecting on meanings and patterns of the past. Significantly, the book embeds within this chronological structure integrated views of Chinese historiography, bringing to light the purposive, didactic, and normative uses of the past. Examining both the worlds of official and unofficial historiography, the authors lay bare the ingenious ways in which Chinese scholars extracted truth from events and reveal how schemas and philosophies of history were constructed and espoused. They highlight the dynamic nature of Chinese historiography, revealing that historical works mapped the contours of Chinese civilization not for the sake of understanding history as disembodied and theoretical learning, but for the pragmatic purpose of guiding the world by mirroring the past in all its splendor and squalor. Mirroring the Past critically reviews the Chinese historiographical traditions as it seeks to understand imperial China through the lens of history. Well informed and rich in insight, it will be especially welcomed by students of Chinese history as well as comparativists in intellectual history..
