  • What Love Is: And What It Could Be

    Carrie Jenkins

    Hardcover (Basic Books, Jan. 24, 2017)
    A rising star in philosophy examines the cultural, social, and scientific interpretations of love to answer one of our most enduring questionsWhat is love? Aside from being the title of many a popular love song, this is one of life's perennial questions. In What Love Is, philosopher Carrie Jenkins offers a bold new theory on the nature of romantic love that reconciles its humanistic and scientific components. Love can be a social construct (the idea of a perfect fairy tale romance) and a physical manifestation (those anxiety- inducing heart palpitations); we must recognize its complexities and decide for ourselves how to love. Motivated by her own polyamorous relationships, she examines the ways in which our parameters of love have recently changed-to be more accepting of homosexual, interracial, and non-monogamous relationships-and how they will continue to evolve in the future. Full of anecdotal, cultural, and scientific reflections on love, What Love Is is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand what it means to say "I love you." Whether young or old, gay or straight, male or female, polyamorous or monogamous, this book will help each of us decide for ourselves how we choose to love.

    language (, Sept. 3, 2017)
    In the ether thus constituted there are therefore propagatedtransverse vibrations, regarding which all experiments in opticsfurnish very precise information. The amplitude of these vibrations isexceedingly small, even in relation to the wave-length, small as theselast are. If, in fact, the amplitude of the vibrations acquired anoticeable value in comparison with the wave-length, the speed ofpropagation should increase with the amplitude. Yet, in spite of somecurious experiments which seem to establish that the speed of lightdoes alter a little with its intensity, we have reason to believethat, as regards light, the amplitude of the oscillations in relationto the wave-length is incomparably less than in the case of sound.
