Feinberg introduces dozens of intriguing cases of patients whose disorders have resulted in what he calls altered egos: a change in the brain that transforms the boundaries of the self. He describes patients who suffer from alien hand syndrome where one hand might attack the patient's own throat, patients with frontal lobe damage who invent fantastic stories about their lives, paralyzed patients who reject and disown one of their limbs. He then argues that the brain damage suffered by these people has done more than simply impair certain functions--it has fragmented their sense of self. From these fascinating cases, Feinberg proposes a new model of the self that links the workings of the brain with unique and personal features of the mind, such as meaning, purpose, and being. Drawing on his own and other evidence, he explains how the unified self, while not located in one or another brain region, arises out of the staggering complexity and number of the brain's component parts. Lucid, insightful, filled with fascinating case studies and provocative new ideas, Altered Egos promises to change the way we think about human consciousness and the creation and maintenance of human identity. 606 $aNeuropsychology 606 $aBrain 606 $aSelf 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNeuropsychology. 615 0$aBrain. 615 0$aSelf. 676 $a612.8/2 700 $aFeinberg$b Todd E$0990419 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453456603321 996 $aAltered egos$92450105 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04540nam 2200685Ka 450 001 9910778070803321 005 20231108100901.0 010 $a1-280-77087-2 010 $a9786613681645 010 $a1-84663-997-2 035 $a(CKB)1000000000766982 035 $a(EBL)453320 035 $a(OCoLC)609843624 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000358132 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11263018 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000358132 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10377196 035 $a(PQKB)11469483 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC453320 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL453320 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10310697 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL368164 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bslw06346790 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000766982 100 $a20101115d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aComparative governance reform in Asia$b[electronic resource] $edemocracy, corruption, and government trust /$fedited by Bidhya Bowornwathana, Clay Wescott 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aBingley, UK $cEmerald/JAI$d2008 215 $a1 online resource (260 p.) 225 1 $aResearch in public policy analysis and management,$x0732-1317 ;$vv. 17 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-84663-996-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aIntroduction / Bidhya Bowornwathana, Clay G.

Yet, in different ways, they are working hard to improve public sector governance in areas such as democratic accountability, openness, transparency, integrity, government trust, high performance standards and combating corruption. The chapters in this book analyze and compare the experiences of Asian countries in carrying out governance reforms. Some of the questions tackled in this title are: how common reform packages designed for developed countries are implemented in developing countries? What happens in the reform diffusion process? What are the obstacles to reform success? The diversity of the Asian region is well reflected in these chapters, covering a range of topics, theories, methodologies, and findings. The book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners researching and working with public policy in the region. 410 0$aResearch in public policy analysis and management ;$vv. 17. 606 $aPolitical Science$xGovernment$xNational$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical Science$xPublic Affairs & Administration$2bisacsh 606 $aCentral government$2bicssc 606 $aPublic administration$2bicssc 606 $aPublic administration 615 7$aPolitical Science$xGovernment$xNational. 615 7$aPolitical Science$xPublic Affairs & Administration. 615 7$aCentral government. 615 7$aPublic administration. 615 0$aPublic administration. 676 $a351.5 701 $aWescott$b Clay$01502689 701 $aPhitthaya Bowonwatthana$01502690 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778070803321 996 $aComparative governance reform in Asia$93730613 997 $aUNINA
