"This is an exceptional book that comprehensively covers the interface between psychology and criminology regarding an empirical understanding of crime. It is written in an engaging and accessible manner, nicely linking key themes in order to situate the contribution of psychology to theories of criminal behaviour, strategies for informed practice, and contemporary challenges. It should prove to be an incredible resource for students, but also be of interest to researchers and clinicians. I cannot recommend this text more heartily."

This book isn't a romance novel. Sure the author could have spiced it up but it's just psychology. If you love psychology, you'll find the depth in it. If you're reading for entertainment, then it may be a bit dry for you. It is in fact a very deep presentation on how the mind works and when it's at its best, and when it isn't.

Descriptive Psychology represents a series of lectures given by Franz Brentano in 1890; they were the culmination of Brentano's work and the clearest statements of his mature thought. It was this later period which proved to be so important in the work of his student Husserl. This is the first English translation of the work. Muller has added a concise introduction which places Brentano's work within the historical context of philosophy and psychology. Muller also locates Brentano's influence on contemporary thinkers such as Husserl, Meinoning, Bertrand Russel and the entire Polish school of philosophy.

As a sales professional, this has long been one of my favorite books on how to persuade effectively.

Kevin Hogan offers ten specific topics for detailed discussion, and then he offers concrete real-world examples for each one of them.

When I read in the Wall Street Journal yesterday that this was one of the few allowed books in the common area library at Goldman Sachs, I was reminded to pick it back up and read through it again.

Now I have another page and a half of ideas to implement that will help me be a more effective sales pro.

Название: Major Issues in Cognitive Aging (Oxford Psychology Series)

In recent years the field of cognitive aging has flourished and expanded into many different disciplines. It is probably, therefore, inevitable that some of the research has become very narrow, primarily focused on "counting and classifying the wrinkles of aged behavior," rather than addressing more broad, general, and important questions. Timothy Salthouse's main goal in this book is to try to identify some of the major phenomena in the field of cognitive aging, and discuss issues relevant to the investigation and interpretation of them. He does not attempt to provide a comprehensive survey of the research literature on aging and cognition because many excellent reviews are available in edited handbooks. His principal aim is rather to stimulate readers to think about the big questions in cognitive aging research, and how they might best be answered.
