520    "People take balance for granted until they start to lose 
       it. This book explains how the brain balances the body and
       why failures sometimes result in vertigo, nausea, and 
       falls. Paul Thagard breaks new ground by explaining how 
       balance and imbalance generate conscious experiences. 
       Moreover, balance metaphors illuminate all areas of human 
       life, from work/life balance to tipping points in climate 
       change. Economists debate whether budgets should be 
       balanced, and politicians worry about the balance of 
       powers. The traditional visual symbol for the law is the 
       balance scale. People fret over whether they are eating a 
       balanced diet and managing an appropriate work-life 
       balance. Reflective equilibrium is an influential concept 
       in philosophy. What unites the literal and metaphorical 
       uses of balance is that they enable people to make sense 
       of perception and action. Unlike physiological balance, 
       metaphorical balance can be toxic because it obstructs 
       medicine, science, and social understanding.""--|cProvided
