How Children Invented Humanity is a very clear, easy, and interesting read. I not only highly recommend this to the students and researchers of psychological, biological, and anthropological sciences, but this book is also valuable to parents and to-be-parents to understand and learn how early developmental years shape and affect all aspects of their children's childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Additionally, this is a well-referenced book on
evolutionary developmental psychology and biology, providing a great review of the literature, covering lots of experiments and studies, combined with Bjorklund's deep understanding of evolutionary biology and great sense of narration. This is a joyful read!

Delivered from Distraction

'This remarkable book, celebrating the legacy of Fons van de Vijver, takes the reader on a voyage from acculturation and identity, through the interaction between individual and context, to statistical, psychometric, and methodological considerations of culture and psychology. It is a must-read for researchers in the field.' Nicolas Geeraert, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, University of Essex, UK

"How many people should a country have? And should that be a decision made by the state, or left to its citizens? This impressive history of population policies since the 17th century shows the remarkable degree to which all statesâmonarchies, communist, liberal democraciesâhave sought to shape the numbers of their citizens. Documenting how state policies have swung from pro-natal to anti-natal and back in historic waves, Togman shows how pervasive, yet
often ineffective, these policies have been."-Jack A. Goldstone,  Hazel Professor of Public Policy, George Mason University

Wer sich als Urlauber aufmacht, Vietnam, Laos oder Kambodscha zu bereisen, hat die Chance, sich vielerorts auf noch unausgetretenen touristischen Pfaden zu bewegen. Die Tempelanlagen von Angkor Wat und Luang Prabang sind zwar mittlerweile zu bekannten touristischen Sehenswürdigkeiten geworden, über die Alltagsrealität und die Lebenssituation der Menschen in diesen drei Ländern wissen wir aber immer noch wenig. Auch nicht über die Träume und Sehnsüchte der jungen Generation: „Ich will vor dem Ho-Chi-Minh-Denkmal skateboarden und mein eigenes Handy besitzen“, wünscht sich beispielsweise der 29-jährige Nguyen Van Khai

By drawing attention to punk's place in the Cold War, Punk Crisis reminds us of the shared spirit of '77 across the globe and brings new players onto the stage for a rave-up. Patton gives both an ideal introduction for young punks and a new twist for the grizzled veterans who might not know the whole story. London calling, Warsaw calling, Kingston calling.

How Art Works

A remarkable interdisciplinary exploration of the imago Dei, every chapter of Welz's study builds upon her articles in German, Danish, and English previously published in journals and collected volumes. Each reflects careful scholarship on a range of figures, literatures, and disciplines and manifests the fruit of vetting by diverse academic audiences. An exemplary and welcome contribution to contemporary discourses about the imago Dei and human dignity, Welz
ventilates a conversation at times dominated by historical, political, analytic, and jurisprudential categories by foregrounding other methodologies: hermeneutical, phenomenological, post-Holocaust theology, and philosophy of religion. This monograph deserves the careful attention of all who would seek to
understand the imago Dei and its implications for human dignity today.

Humanity in God's Image

Magnúsdóttir's succinct, concise writing style and clarity of argument make this work a clear asset to any undergraduate course in Cold War or Soviet history. This work provides a much-needed alternative view of the cultural Cold War from within the Soviet political system, and is ideal for enhancing students' understandings of the ideological battle for hearts and minds.

Thomas Nail's Theory of the Image is an ambitious and original attempt to re-theorize the material and cognitive dynamics of the image. In this respect, his model is kinetic as opposed to representational, mimetic, or hermeneutical. The book is eminently suitable for use on a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, in particular, philosophy, cultural theory, and art history.

"Lively...[Rogers'] descriptions of the science behind familiar drinks exert a seductive pull." &#8212;New York Times &#8220;One of the best science writers around.&#8221; &#8212;National Geographic "Rogers's book has much the same effect as a good drink. You get a warm sensation, you want to engage with the wider world, and you feel smarter than you probably are. Above all, it makes you understand how deeply human it is to take a drink." &#8212;Wall Street Journal &#8220;A great read for barflies and know-it-alls&#8212;or the grad student who is likely both.&#8221; &#8212;New York Times&#8217; T Magazine "In this brisk dive into the history and geekery of our favorite social lubricant, Wired editor Adam Rogers gets under the cap and between the molecules to show what makes our favorite firewaters so irresistible and hard to replicate&#8212;and how a good stiff drink often doubles as a miracle of human ingenuity." &#8212;Mother Jones "A comprehensive, funny look at booze...Like the best of its subject matter Proof&#8217;s blend of disparate ingredients goes down smooth, and makes you feel like an expert on the topic." &#8212;Discover"A romp through the world of alcohol." &#8212;New York Post"This science-steeped tale of humanity&#8217;s 10,000-year love affair with alcohol is an engaging trawl through fermentation, distillation, perception of taste and smell, and the biological responses of humans to booze...Proof is an entertaining, well researched piece of popular-science writing." &#8212;Nature "A whiskey nerd's delight...Full of tasty asides and surprising science, this is entertaining even if you're the type who always drinks what the other guy is having." &#8212;Chicago Tribune &#8220;Written in the same approachable yet science-savvy tone of other geeky tomes (think Amy Stewart&#8217;s The Drunken Botanist and Brian Greene&#8217;s The Fabric of the Cosmos), Rogers&#8217; book sheds light on everything from barrels to bacteria strains.&#8221; &#8212;Imbibe Magazine "This paean to booze is a thought-provoking scientific accompaniment to your next cup of good cheer."&#8212;The Scientist "Follow a single, microscopic yeast cell down a rabbit hole, and Alice, aka Adam, will take you on a fascinating romp through the Wonderland of ethyl alcohol, from Nature&#8217;s own fermentation to today&#8217;s best Scotch whiskies&#8212;and worst hangovers. This book is a delightful marriage of scholarship and fun." &#8212;Robert L. Wolke, author of What Einstein Kept Under His Hat and What Einstein Told His Cook "Proof, this irresistible book from Adam Rogers, shines like the deep gold of good whiskey. By which I mean it's smart in its science, fascinating in its complicated and very human history, and entertaining on all counts. And that it will make that drink in your hand a lot more interesting than you expected." &#8212;Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York  "Absolutely compelling. Proof sits next to Wayne Curtis&#8217; And a Bottle of Rum and Tom Standage&#8217;s A History of the World in Six Glasses as a must-read." &#8212;Jeffrey Morgenthaler, bar manager at Clyde Common and author of The Bar Book "Proof is science writing at its best&#8212;witty, elegant, and abrim with engrossing reporting that takes you to the frontiers of booze, and the people who craft it." &#8212;Clive Thompson, author of Smarter Than You Think  "Rogers distills history, archaeology, biology, sociology, and physics into something clear and powerful, like spirits themselves." &#8212;Jim Meehan, author of The PDT Cocktail Book  "A page-turner for science-thirsty geeks and dri
