"Brings together the cognitive, the cultural, and the neurological in an elegant, compelling narrative. A revelatory work."
-Oliver Sacks, M.D.
The act of reading is so easily taken for granted that we forget what an astounding feat it is. How can a few black marks on white paper evoke an entire universe of meanings? It's even more amazing when we consider that we read using a primate brain that evolved to serve an entirely different purpose. In this riveting investigation, Stanislas Dehaene explores every aspect of this human invention, from its origins to its neural underpinnings. A world authority on the subject, Dehaene reveals the hidden logic of spelling, describes pioneering research on hiw we process languages, and takes us into a new appreciation of the brain and its wondrous capacity to adapt.

Drawing on his theory of the origins of the modern mind, Merlin Donald's thesis presents the forces, both cultural and neuronal, that power our distinctively human modes of awareness. Donald proposes that the human mind is a hybrid product of interweaving a supercomplex form of matter (the brain) with an invisible symbolic web (culture) to form a "distributed" cognitive network. This hybrid mind, Donald suggests, is our main evolutionary advantage, for it allowed humanity as a species to break free of the limitations of the mammalian brain.

Humans just aren't entirely rational creatures.
We decide to roll over and hit the snooze button instead of going to the gym. We take out home loans we can't possibly afford. And did you know that people named Paul are more likely to move to St. Paul than other cities? All too often, our subconscious causes us to act against our own self-interest.
But our free-market economy is based on the assumption that we always do act in our own self-interest. In this provocative book, physician Peter Ubel uses his understanding of psychology and behavior to show that in some cases government must regulate markets for our own health and well-being. And by understanding and controlling the factors that go into our decisions, big and small, we can all begin to stop the damage we do to our bodies, our finances, and our economy as a whole.
Ubel's vivid stories bring his message home for anyone interested in improving the way our society works.

直觉:为什么我们左右不了自己的生活

《汉译经典034：性与性格》是魏宁格23岁时出版的著作，也是他生前出版的唯一著作。它不但提出了带有普遍性和根本性的两性关系问题，而且从哲学、逻辑学、伦理学和心理学等多个角度对这些问题进行了反传统的探讨。《性与性格》对后来的西方文化，对现代主义和后现代主义都产生了巨大影响。斯特林堡、维特根斯坦、卡夫卡、劳伦斯、乔伊斯、拉康以及近年在西方学界走红的齐泽克都受到他的影响。西蒙娜？波伏娃在《第二性》中的名言“女人不是生成的，而是造就的”便是从魏宁格的理论引申而来。

比较难读，但是不愧为组织论的经典，

Making Sense of the Organization elaborates on the influential idea that organizations are interpretation systems that scan, interpret, and learn. These selected essays represent a new approach to the way managers learn and act in response to their environment and the way organizational change evolves. Readers of this volume will find a wealth of examples and insights which go well beyond thinking and cognition to explain action. The author's ideas are at the forefront of our thinking on leadership, teams, and the management of change. “This book engages the puzzle of impermanence in organizing. Through rich examples, evocative language, artful literature citing, and imaginative connecting, Weick re-introduces core ideas and themes around attending, interpreting, acting and learning to unlock new insights about impermanent organizing. The wisdom in this book is timeless and timely. It prods scholars and managers of organizations to complicate their views of organizing in ways that enrich thought and action.” - Jane E. Dutton, Robert L. Kahn Distinguished University Professor, University of Michigan

- The first book to map out the whole field on internet psychology, covering the key areas in this burgeoning area
- Presents cutting edge research from leading researchers in the field
- Will lay the foundations for a science of internet psychology
- Part of the successful and critically praised Oxford Handbooks series
Over one billion people use the Internet globally. Psychologists are beginning to understand what people do online, and the impact being online has on behaviour. It's making us re-think many of our existing assumptions about what it means to be a social being. For instance, if we can talk, flirt, meet people and fall in love online, this challenges many of psychology's theories that intimacy or understanding requires physical co-presence.
"The Oxford Handbook of Internet Psychology" brings together many of the leading researchers in what can be termed 'Internet Psychology'. Though a very new area of research, it is growing at a phenomenal pace. In addition to well-studied areas of investigation, such as social identity theory, computer-mediated communication and virtual communities, the volume also includes chapters on topics as diverse as deception and misrepresentation, attitude change and persuasion online, Internet addiction, online relationships, privacy and trust, health and leisure use of the Internet, and the nature of interactivity.
With over 30 chapters written by experts in the field, the range and depth of coverage is unequalled, and serves to define this emerging area of research. Uniquely, this content is supported by an entire section covering the use of the Internet as a research tool, including qualitative and quantitative methods, online survey design, personality testing, ethics, and technological and design issues. While it is likely to be a popular research resource to be 'dipped into', as a whole volume it is coherent and compelling enough to act as a single text book.
"The Oxford Handbook of Internet Psychology" is the definitive text on this burgeoning field. It will be an essential resource for anyone interested in the psychological aspects of Internet use, or planning to conduct research using the 'net'.

If humanity cannot live with the dangers and responsibilities inherent in freedom, it will probably turn to authoritarianism. This is the central idea of Escape from Freedom, a landmark work by one of the most distinguished thinkers of our time, and a book that is as timely now as when first published in 1941. Few books have thrown such light upon the forces that shape modern society or penetrated so deeply into the causes of authoritarian systems. If the rise of democracy set some people free, at the same time it gave birth to a society in which the individual feels alienated and dehumanized. Using the insights of psychoanalysis as probing agents, Fromm’s work analyzes the illness of contemporary civilization as witnessed by its willingness to submit to totalitarian rule.

【本書介紹】
酷兒，污名，爛情感，殘缺壞主體
本書分為兩個部分。第一部分「倒退的政治」選編酷兒學者海澀愛近期關於情感與酷兒論述的六篇作品：檢視主流婚姻-家庭連續體的強迫幸福論述，以與時俱變不了的「老處女」挑戰女性主義進步史觀，置疑已在泛道德傾向裡僵斃死去的「他者論述」，思辨文學閱讀向來標舉的「細讀」與人文主義詮釋框架的問題性。第二部分「Feeling Bad in 2010」則紀錄了海澀愛訪台期間與台灣學界及運動界所進行的三場精彩對話，內容觸及酷兒的文化政治、殘障污名與性污名等情感政治的重要研究場域。
「你會很討厭自己的壞掉被同情嗎？」
在本書中，海澀愛關注「悲傷的系列」、「寂寞的人們」、「被輕賤的隊伍」，分析讓人裹足不前的悲傷與寂寞的社會性意義，對人道主義式的悲憫作出重重一擊。「流動」從來就不是自由自在人人平等的，正如人從來就不生而平等，所謂的邊緣他者，面對的是日日夜夜情感與身體「實實在在」的顛沛流離——會髒、會臭，會死，無從詩意化也無法輕易寄寓批判向上流動。我們所面對的，也不僅是暴力形式的驅除他者，人道／人文主義裡溫情脈脈的感同身受，溫馨同情悲憫，是更難覺察更為高明的收編。
讓我們一起下流
論述與情感都是有階序性的，憂傷、沮喪、妒恨是必須克服的負面情緒，憤怒不好，至少有助於凝聚行動，而倒退主體（源於生存處境裡處處的痛楚與難堪）的孤單與孤立感，則給力不了。海澀愛不在於擁抱孤單以肯定「不運動」的正當性，而是試圖面對運動和運動不了都存在著的「運動傷害」，看清拯救孤單與浪漫化孤單，其實是現代欲望的一體兩面。作為現代的負面性而存在的酷兒、污名、爛情感、殘缺壞主體，迫使我們必須看見，「進步」論述向上流動的欲望，如何分化我們／他們，如何讓個人的內在分裂，製造出鬱卒不前、壓根兒不渴望或根本無望於「進步」的不夠格他者。
