‎PROVINE ROBERT R‎

‎Curious Behavior: Yawning Laughing Hiccupping And Beyond‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2014. Softcover. Brand new book. Robert Provine boldly goes where other scientists seldom tread�in search of hiccups coughs yawns sneezes and other lowly undignified human behaviors. Upon investigation these instinctive acts bear the imprint of our evolutionary origins and can be uniquely valuable tools for understanding how the human brain works and what makes us different from other species. Many activities showcased in Curious Behavior are contagious but none surpasses yawning in this regard�just reading the word can make one succumb. Though we often take it as a sign of sleepiness or boredom yawning holds clues to the development of our sociality and ability to empathize with others. Its inescapable transmission reminds us that we are sometimes unaware neurologically programmed beasts of the herd. Other neglected behaviors yield similar revelations. Tickling we learn may be the key to programming personhood into robots. Coughing comes in musical medical and social varieties. Farting and belching have import for the evolution of human speech. And prenatal behavior is offered as the strangest exhibit of all defying postnatal logic in every way. Our earthiest acts define Homo sapiens as much as language bipedalism tool use and other more studied characteristics. As Provine guides us through peculiarities right under our noses he beckons us to follow with self-experiments: tickling our own feet keeping a log of when we laugh and attempting to suppress yawns and sneezes. Such humble investigations provide fodder for grade school science projects as well as doctoral dissertations. Small Science can yield big rewards. Robert R. Provine is Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. "Provine is a valiant man and this is an original book: a book about people's quirks and the uncomfortable noises that we have suppressed particularly after Victorian times. Why would someone study those seemingly uninteresting and inappropriate acts I would say the answer lies in the questions this neuroscientist has asked himself: why do we burp or sneeze What is a cough What has really gone with the wind Well you don't really know�and you won't until you read Curious Behavior� This disarmingly enchanting book manages to 'handle' even flatulence in the most skillful and scientific manner without ever losing focus on Provine's aim: an accurate description of the topic via a look at mechanisms evolutionary advantages limits and statistics� Prepare to be contaminated by this book and get ready to analyze the way you sneeze cough and everything else."�Tristan Bekinschtein Times Higher Education "In this charmingly written and profoundly informative book Provine gives us what he calls 'sidewalk' neuroscience a 'scientific approach to everyday behavior based on simple observations and demonstrations that readers even advanced grade-schoolers can use to confirm challenge or extend the reported findings.' In this era of 'neurorealism' where much of the public believes you aren't doing real science if you aren't using fMRI to scan some brains Provine's work in 'small science' is refreshing. 'The Small Science of this book is "small"' he explains not because it is trivial but because it does not require 'fancy equipment and a big budget.' Small science teaches the art of observation and methods of interpretation: 'Everyday life is teeming with the important and unexpected if you know where to look and how to see.' This message alone is worth the price of admission� Provine romps through the range of 'curious behaviors' of his title with each chapter offering up enlightening and unexpected findings� A marvelous book� 'Small science' at its best."�Carol Tavris The Wall Street Journal "Why do we yawn tickle laugh cough scratch sneeze hiccup vomit or cry Over the years Provine has investigated these and other behaviors in the lab and on the street and the result is beautifully written and constantly surprising."�Steven Poole The Guardian "With its many facts and anecdotes and unexpected stories Curious Behavior begs you to continue where curiosity leads you down both the boulevards and the back alleys of science. And that is exactly how Provine thinks science should be pursued."�James Gorman The New York Times "Readers will enjoy the stories and find the glimpses into the neuroscience of these curious behaviors engaging."�K.S. Milar Choice "Do you think that each of the behaviors covered here is merely a randomly eccentric human quirk Think again. For each of these odd functions Provine dexterously combines wit a fine way with words and precise scientific context to show us the evolutionary reason behind it� This is a delectable presentation for all who love the territory between pop and hardcore science writing. Highly recommended."�Margaret Heilbrun Library Journal "How can farting sneezing and other marginal biological realities illuminate humanness Neuroscientist Robert Provine turns an evolutionary lens on everything from the gross to the faintly improper. The 'contagiousness' of yawning for instance hints at the roots of empathy and herd behavior. Burping and farting were involved in the development of speech says Provine. And tickling may play a part in our early understanding that we are distinct beings you can't tickle yourself. An exercise in 'small science'�some of it speculative all of it fascinating."�Nature "In Curious Behavior neuroscientist Robert Provine discusses common yet seemingly strange actions such as crying tickling and yawning�subjects often overlooked by science. Beyond explaining how each of these actions work anatomically Provine explores their functions similarities and whether they might be linked by some higher social purpose� Follow his advice and Curious Behavior will leave you trying to yawn with clenched teeth sneeze with your eyes open and noticing just how often you laugh at things that really aren't funny."�Jessica Hamzelou New Scientist "The book provides a not-yet definitive but often fascinating take on our most curious behaviors."�Publishers Weekly "In this engrossing account of some curious physiological behaviors neuroscientist Robert Provine not only describes the biologic basis for some curious human actions such as laughing itching hiccuping vomiting coughing sneezing and several more curiosities he also describes the experiments performed to clarify these sometimes embarrassing operations� Fascinating descriptions and explanations about human behavior oddities are candidly presented with added whimsy for sweetening. Suitable for all ages it's the sort of a book on quirky embarrassing behaviors that you observed and performed but were too afraid to talk about."�Aron Row Sacramento Book Review "Provine has written a charming ode to 'Small Science'�science that does not require a large budget or fancy equipment but that is interesting nonetheless. Taking examples from his own research some of which involved nothing more complicated than stalking graduate students and observing how and when they laugh he explains the origins of some of the most prevalent but often overlooked human behaviors."�Anna Kuchment Scientific American "In Curious Behavior Robert Provine provides clear entertaining and most importantly data-driven accounts of familiar yet overlooked human quirks. These include yawning laughing crying tears coughing sneezing hiccupping vomiting and nausea tickling itching and scratching farting and belching and finally prenatal behavior. If you think you know when and why you laugh what makes a face look sad or why people yawn you're probably in for a surprise� Written with humor and wit Curious Behavior is an accessible and entertaining read with its musings about the theoretical Doomsday yawn ineffectual astronaut tears and the social implications of coughing and laughter. But it is also serious science about the importance of defining stimuli using specific language and understanding the difference between what people think they do and what they actually do. The book may provide new windows into autistic behaviors schizophrenia and the definition of self� In a world where there is an increasing gulf between the public and scientists Provine leads by example with straightforward science communication� This book is a must-have for any connoisseur of human behavior whether studying in a classroom or from a barstool."�Kenneth C. Catania The Scientist "Robert Provine shows how the methods of sidewalk neuroscience simple and cheap observations of everyday life that everyone can do can give rise to an alternative science of psychology. This is a delight to read fascinating and humane and very often funny."�Paul Bloom Yale University author of How Pleasure Works "Curious Behavior offers a lively and often surprising look at all the different ways we sneeze cough yawn and broadcast other bodily functions. Open this book which is based on serious research but reads like a detective novel and find out how much more there is to such behavior than you ever thought."�Frans de Waal Emory University author of The Age of Empathy "A lively and entertaining romp through the quirks and oddities of the least controllable of human behaviors. The writing style and topics are so provocative one is hard pressed not to enact these behaviors while reading."�Rachel Herz Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior Brown University author of That's Disgusting "Why do we laugh Why do we yawn Why do we cry What is itch Finally here is a book that addresses these age-old issues! Provine the leading researcher of such phenomena discovers the extraordinary hidden in plain sight. It's a joy to read."�James W. Kalat North Carolina State University author of Biological Psychology 11th ed. "The indefatigably curious Robert Provine explores the little quirks of behavior that�so far�have fascinated everyone but the scientists and in doing so illuminates many aspects of our social lives inner lives and evolutionary origins."�Steven Pinker Harvard College Professor of Psychology Harvard University author of How the Mind Works and The Better Angels of Our Nature "In this marvelous book Provine�a pioneer in the field�puts these phenomena in proper evolutionary contexts arguing that such seemingly odd quirks can often illuminate our understanding of human nature."�V.S. Ramachandran University of California San Diego author of The Tell-Tale Brain Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2014 paperback‎

‎PROVOLO, ANTONIO.‎

‎Manuale per la Scuola de’ Sordi - muti di Verona. Di Antonio Provolo Sacerdote.‎

‎Coi Tipi di Paolo Libanti, Verona, 1840. In 8vo, pp. XLVI, 2 n.n. di Indice, 359, con 5 tavv. incise in rame, tutte in b/n e f.t., (le tavole I, II, III, IV sono relative all’alfabeto orale e sono fra le pp. a numerazione romana; la quinta, a sé, illustra la dattilologia e precede le pp. a numerazione araba) leg. coeva in mz. pelle con tassello al dorso, titolo e decorazioni in oro, piatti in cartonato marezz. beige con punte di colore in turchese. Il sacerdote Antonio Provolo (Verona 1801 – Verona, 1842), per primo in Italia, studiò per i sordomuti un nuovo e più razionale metodo di insegnamento, già conosciuto soprattutto in Germania. Oltre alla convenzionale possibilità di un linguaggio mimico, era convinto che si potesse donare a queste persone la parola con la parola, e perciò lavorò affinché essi potessero avere la padronanza del linguaggio leggendolo dal labbro, dal mento, dalla gola e dal petto dei loro interlocutori, con un apprendimento “vibro – tattile – visivo” della parola. Nondimeno fu anche precursore della moderna musicoterapica, credendo fermamente nella possibilità di poter insegnare ai sordomuti con il canto, e di poter passare dal canto alla parola; e al canto sono dedicati dei paragrafi anche in questo volume. Il suo pensiero circa l’articolazione, il linguaggio parlato, la lettura labiale, e il suo metodo orale con l’utilizzo della musica, sono gli argomenti contenuti in questo manuale. Con il suo aiuto ai sordomuti della Scuola di Verona, specie ai bambini che sosteneva negli studi e nell’inserimento al lavoro, don Provolo ha svolto un’opera esemplare, di grande impegno e di grande passione, e ha lasciato, con i suoi scritti, un lavoro ancora attuale per ciò che riguarda il fondamento delle possibilità riabilitative di queste persone. Raro a reperirsi. Esemplare freschissimo, in ottimo stato di conservazione.‎
