Synopsis
Excerpt from Mind and the Nation: A Precis of Applied Psychology
It is instructive to cast a glance over the topics which have hitherto formed the chief items in these discussions on reconstruction. AS might be expected Industry looms largest. In the Report of the Committee of the Privy Council for Scientific and Industrial Research for the year 1916-17 we find a list of Standing Committees on Engineer ing, Metallurgy, Mining, and Glass and Optical Instruments. Allied to these are research committees on Mine Rescue Apparatus and Abrasives and Polishing Powders, as well as inquiry committees on Lubricants and Lubrication, Zinc and Copper, and Irish Peat. An Appendix gives the text of a pamphlet on the Government Scheme for Industrial Research. Nearly allied to the various Industrial Schemes is Scientific Research, so nearly allied, indeed, that the boom in science, so far as it has any considerable public and political support, is directed almost entirely to the physical sciences. The scientists themselves emphasize and reiterate the importance Of pure science, but even the strongest argument is that only through it can material advance in the practical applications of science be attained.

Mind and the Nation: A Precis of Applied Psychology (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a highly informative text that gives a condensed overview of the development of the human mind, from a primitive state to its contemporary complexities. It does this by looking at both man's psychological and anthropological evolution, and thus offers a thorough foundational understanding of the historical, philosophical, and scientific principles that have shaped our thinking. The author explains the development of the human mind through the lens of Darwin's theory of evolution, arguing that the mind has evolved in much the same way as other biological structures have. The author supports this claim by discussing concepts such as comparative psychology, innate tendencies, anthropology, and the influence of the social environment on the development of the mind. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in gaining a broad understanding of the human mind and its evolution over time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330390832_0
