Writing my book...

I have begun writing my book. It has the core theme of neuroscience and psychology but also includes criminology and sociology. The main objective of the book is to combine knowledge and theories from across fields in the social sciences and to make sense of the world at various levels. For example, how does neuronal functioning lead to prejudice and racism? How does psychology contribute to shaping society? I present answers to these questions by reasoning between fields of study. My answers are not guaranteed 'truths', I present them as possibilities that arise from the implications of findings in particular fields of study.

I am trying to keep the book as simple as possible so that is accessible and interesting to everyone. It serves as an introduction to concepts in the social and biological sciences as well as a tool used to combine them.

If you are interested in how human's shape and are shaped by their worlds; how such tiny and seemingly insignificant matter such as brain cells might give rise to social worlds; or how general features and principles of cognitive psychological processing may shape politics and political decisions, then this book will be of most interest.

    The first time I placed an image of mine in a public area, within a day a vandal had pried it loose. Prior to my first art shows opening, the gallery's owner chose then to curate my work. When I finally participated in announce scored, injuries exhibition, my fellow artists complained about how 'the tone & tenor'.
    My ideal show, replete with environment is intended to release a careful subscribed cocktail of chemicals released in the viewers brain. A 152 I.Q. As a fetish photographer, creates many possibilities. This then, mine.
    Are my life choices so grave, that you'll forever deny me my due?
