What is it to grieve for the death of a parent? More literary and experiential than other philosopical works on emotion, Upheavals of Thought will engage the reader who has ever stopped to ask that question. Emotions such as grief, fear, anger and love seem to be alien forces that disturb our thoughts and plans. Yet they also embody some of our deepest thoughts--about the importance of the people we love, about the vulnerability of our bodies and our plans to events beyond our control. In this wide-ranging book, based on her Gifford Lectures, philosopher Martha Nussbaum draws on philosophy, psychology, anthropology, music and literature to illuminate the role emotions play in our thoughts about important goals. Starting with an account of her own mother's death, she argues that emotions are intelligent appraisals of a world that we do not control, in the light of our own most significant goals and plans. She then investigates the implications of this idea for normative issues, analyzing the role of compassion in private and public reasoning and the attempts of authors both philosophical and literary to purify or reform the emotion of erotic love. Ultimately, she illuminates the structure of emotions and argues that once we understand the complex intelligence of emotions we will also have new reasons to value works of literature as sources of ethical education. Martha C. Nussbaum is Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics, University of Chicago, appointed in Law School, Philosophy department, and Divinity School, and an Associate in Classics. A leading scholar in ancient Greek ethics, aesthetics and literature, her previous books include The Fragility of Goodness (Cambridge, 1986), Loves's Knowledge (Oxford, 1992), Poetic Justice (Beacon Press, 1997), The Therapy of Desire (Princeton, 1996), Cultivating Humanity (Harvard, 1997), and Sex and Social Justice (Oxford, 1999). Her reviews have appeared in the New York Times, Boston Globe, New York Review of Books, and New Republic.Binding Type: Paperback

Great watch. Not too big, has a second hand and a light.
Size: 25mm, Color: Silver-Tone/Silver-Tone/White/A/25mm
I am a nurse, so this watch is perfect for administration of timed meds. The band is too big for my small wrist so I bought a leather band. I was not able to figure out how to remove segments from the original band, but a jeweler would be able to do this. It is pretty small, compared to the bigger watch faces that seem to be popular now.

Band a little snug, but great watch
Size: 25mm, Color: Two-Tone/Gold-Tone/White/25mm
I love Timex watches. This one is very attractive. The stretch band is a little tight. It is also hard to set the date in the little tiny date box. The packaging was minimal; looks like it wouldn’t take any rough handling. But the watch itself works great and is easy to read.

Classic & classy
Size: 25mm, Color: Silver-Tone/Silver-Tone/White/25mm
This watch was the perfect gift. The wrist band was a great fit. The backlight makes it easy to see the time in the dark. You can't beat a Timex.

GREAT WATCH!
Size: 25mm, Color: Two-Tone/Gold-Tone/White/25mm
This is a basic but practical watch with no bells and whistles. Have tried many sport watches that were difficult to set and program various features. It has an expansion band with combined gold and silver accents, so it goes with everything! Finally a watch that is attractive and keeps good time. In summary, it's just a good timepiece for every day wear.

Expansion band proved a disappointment
Size: 25mm, Color: Two-Tone/Two-Tone/White/25mm
I shopped many watches before I decided on this Timex model. I've been wearing Timex watches for the last several years and have found them to be reliable and reasonably priced, so I was pretty much set on buying a Timex. I have one of their Weekender models with a couple of different straps, which I alternate depending on what I'm wearing, and I really like it. I also had a dressy model with the same easy-to-read dial that had an expansion band, and it died on me after several years, so I bought this watch as a replacement. The watch works fine, and I like the easy-to-read dial and also the fact that it has the Indiglo light. Plus, the watch is attractive. I was disappointed, however, in the band. The expansion band on my old watch fit perfectly, and the edges of the band were nicely rounded and smooth so that it was very easy and comfortable to put on and take off. However, the band on this new watch seems a little bit smaller, so it tends to pinch a bit. Also, the edges are sharper, which makes the watch rather uncomfortable to put on and remove. This was a let down. I don't know if these differences are due to a decline in quality control, an effort to reduce costs, or what. I considered returning the watch and buying a different model, but since there wasn't actually anything wrong with the watch, I knew I'd have to pay return shipping, and I didn't want to invest that extra money. So I kept the watch. But I'm not entirely happy with it, solely because of the band. Of course, that's the problem with shopping online--you can't try it on before you buy. If you have a thin wrist, this band may be fine for you, but if you have an average or larger wrist, you may likewise be dissatisfied.
