Enter the city of Five Fingers at your own risk. Though it is a place of vibrant trade and rampant opportunity, it is also a haven for pirates, thieves, and dark cultists. One day you could be socializing with the political elite, and the next day you could be running for your life from enforcers demanding tribute. Five Fingers is an active port city filled with mystery, intrigue, and danger where an adventurer can make his fortune, build a criminal enterprise, or meet a dubious end.

No Five Fingers Are Alike written by Joseph C. Berland and has been published by Harvard University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1982 with Psychology categories.
Snake charmers, bards, acrobats, magicians, trainers of performing animals, and other nomadic artisans and entertainers have been a colorful and enduring element in societies throughout the world. Their flexible social system, based on highly specialized individual skills and spatial mobility, contrasts sharply with the more rigid social system of sedentary peasants and traditional urban dwellers. Joseph Berland brings into focus the ethnographic and psychological differences between nomadic and sedentary groups by examining how the experiences of South Asian gypsies and their urban counterparts contribute to basic perceptual habits and skills. No Five Fingers Are Alike, based on three years of participant research among rural Pakistani groups, provides the first detailed description in print of Asian gypsies. By applying methods of anthropological observation as well as psychological experimentation, Berland develops a theory about the relationship between social experience and mental growth. He suggests that there are certain social conditions under which mental growth can be accelerated. His work promises to stand as an important contribution to the cross-cultural literature on cognitive development.

Now a PBS documentary, this astonishing memoir of growing up in rough-and-tumble Jersey City “will steal your heart” (People) With deadpan humor and obvious affection, Five-Finger Discount recounts the story of an unforgettable New Jersey family of swindlers, bookies, embezzlers, and mobster-wannabes. In the memoir Mary Karr calls “a page-turner,” Helene Stapinski ingeniously weaves the checkered history of her hometown of Jersey City—a place known for its political corruption and industrial blight—with the tales that have swirled around her relatives for decades. Navigating a childhood of toxic waste and tough love, Stapinski tells an extraordinary tale at once heartbreaking and hysterically funny. Praise for Five-Finger Discount “By turns hilarious and alarming, [Helene Stapinski’s] book reads on the surface like something by Damon Runyon and Elmore Leonard, with a dark undertow of real-life pain and disillusion.”—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “It’s a brilliant book, a darling book. It is the blessedly modest chronicle of a magical consciousness that seems to have been born pulling diamonds out of the muck, hearing angels’ voices in the fiercest thunder. . . . I adored every word of this wondrous book. Get it. Read it.”—Michael Pakenham, The Baltimore Sun “In the tradition of . . . Rita Mae Brown and Amy Tan, Ms. Stapinski is an exciting writer, unabashedly candid, and at the same time unashamedly self-contained. Five-Finger Discount is a must-read.”—Victoria Gotti, The New York Observer “What [Frank] McCourt did for Limerick, Ireland, Helene Stapinski does for Jersey City.”—The Star-Ledger “Hugely entertaining.”—The Sunday Times (London)

The Five Fingers attempts to answer the following questions: Why is the sky so high? Why do dogs sniff at each other's behinds? Why do leopards have spots, and why do tigers have stripes? Why are elephants scared of ants and goats? In short, this book is a collection of eleven fables that explore various themes, such as teamwork, friendship, self-belief, determination, perseverance, and leadership. But then, the book is not just about positive traits, as there are negative themes too, such as greed, lust, jealousy, war, famine, natural disasters, and how the characters deal with each of these challenges. Here are the stories in a nutshell: In 'The Five Fingers' the tallest of the family, Thumb, is beaten and stepped on until he is squashed into a dwarf. Why? Because he refuses to steal during a famine and insists on family values of righteousness and teamwork. 'Why the Mosquito Sings the Praise of Mr Ear' tells us why mosquitoes draw our blood. When an old, grateful mosquito sings his benefactor's praise, his songs are out of tune, and this annoys Mr Ear's neighbours. The mosquito is asked to stop, but he refuses and he is swatted dead. However, the next breed of mosquitoes is on the warpath to avenge the death of their great-grandfather. 'The Fox and the Tiger' tells us a unique version of how the tiger got its stripes. In this story, the animals walk upright and wear shoes just like humans. Have you ever wondered why dogs sniff at each other's behinds and why they don't sign marriage contracts and why there are different breeds? Then read 'The Greatest Dog Disaster.' In 'Hairy Furry', a partnership between a hunter, a tiger, a lion, and a weasel goes wrong, leading to the death of both the tiger and the lion. However, whereas this partnership ends disastrously, that of 'The Corporate Body' ends on a good note. 'Springo and King Mitus' is a unique tale of how the leopard got its spots. Like the animals in 'The Fox and the Tiger', the animals in this story behave and dress like humans. In 'Bleat and Everest, ' the most unlikely contender in a grass eating-contest, Bleat, a goat, challenges the reigning champion, Everest, an elephant, and wins. A similar story of courage and self-belief in the face of big challenges is 'The Scarlet Ant and the Elephant'. Finally, in 'The Rise and Fall of the Great Hornbill', a small bird manipulates his way to the throne, but with time, his greed, foolish pride, and incompetence expose him as a fraud.
