&ldquo;&hellip;Beautifully written and illustrated&hellip;It&rsquo;s not a small volume at 600 pages, but Visions is seriously impressive as its subject. Lovers of architecture and town planning will be fascinated&hellip;Highly recommended.&rdquo; ~Switchboard from the Natural Resources Defense Council"Visions of Seaside explores designs of the town that were never constructed and the lessons it offers as an urbanist design. The book offers stunning, unique photographs and insights into the Seaside community from its humble beginnings to its modern development today." ~30A- Florida's Scenic Highway&ldquo;Thadani unveils with artistry the complete history of Seaside, from the plans when the roads wiggled, to the efficient street and lot plans, to the evolution and transformation of spaces as places, to futuristic views of an even more sustainable and &#160;venerable town...Visions of Seaside is five books in one&hellip;When I purchased Thadani&rsquo;s magnum opus, I began to marvel at the impressive composition of diagrams, sketches, plans and photographs, each of them a tribute to Thadani&rsquo;s respect for all who have contributed to the success of Seaside.&rdquo; ~Better! Cities & Towns"...one of the most breathtaking books to come out this fall...You will not be disappointed with the images and scholarly text." ~Restless Urbanist&ldquo;The book provides an extensive history of the town as well as discussions about its ideals. Each house&mdash;and other buildings, including many that were merely planned, not built&mdash;is profiled in this Bible-size collection and the volume is packed with suggestions for alternative town layouts.&rdquo; ~Designers and Books&ldquo;In the massive book Thadani documents much more than firsthand observations of his stay; he thoroughly recounts the history and evolution of the pioneering community, highlights many of the place&rsquo;s distinctive buildings and presents a wealth of unbuilt proposals to learn from.&rdquo; ~houzz.com

This book is excellent collection of psychological insights into people’s perception, understanding and reactions to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The scholarly analysis of individual, group and societal dynamics deals with emotions, risk perception and decision making, trust in experts and institutions, adaptation processes and the fight against restrictions to regain the lost freedom… a must-read for everybody trying to understand the crisis and a valuable source for students and researchers in the field of psychology and behavioral sciences.

In the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, an extraordinary number of people turned overnight into specialists in individual psychology, social psychology, and sociology. Peremptory statements about how people feel, individually and collectively, circulated widely and irresponsibly. This book represents a timely and successful effort to counter such epistemic trespassing, by laying out what is known in the relevant fields. Warmly recommended.

How Social Psychology contributes to facing the crisis related to the pandemic is the topic of this book. It covers individual and group perspectives, as well as society’s, with a focus on the role of institutions’ trust, and the influence of social capital in terms of compliance. The importance of cultural differences, with the examples of Islam and Hinduism, is well shown. The last chapter is particularly interesting as it describes how little scientific evidence is taken into account in public policy responses to the pandemic, and how psychology can contribute to facilitating adaptation to a prolonged pandemic. It is a must!

The COVID-19 has taken lives of millions worldwide and put our world into chaos. As the pandemic unfolded, it became clear that understanding and mitigating the process requires the collective work of various specialists, including virologists, medical doctors, mathematicians, but also representatives of the social sciences.　　
The pandemic changed our behaviour and daily routines; it affected our mental health and increased the prevalence of psychiatric disorders. Interestingly, our behaviour also affects the pandemic, as the occurrence of "waves" largely reflect our habits, and to a lesser extent, the seasonality of the virus. Strikingly, social sciences, in some cases, appear to be more relevant in controlling the pandemic than medicine and biology. However, the importance of these studies is not reflected by the funding and attention they deserve.　
The book "social and psychological determinants of behaviour under global health crisis" addresses a lot of these issues, critically discussing the problem of the pandemic on the level of a single person, a group, and a society. It discusses communication and miscommunication and confronts us with many unobvious aspects of the pandemic.　
I highly recommend the book. It is one of the first positions that comprehensively address the topic. While it refers to the COVID-19 pandemic, the messages are universal. Important to read now, but also worth considering before the next crisis.
