Social psychology is about the people who populate our everyday lives, and how they affect our ''personal universe'', defining who we are, and shaping our behaviour, beliefs, attitudes, and ideology. In an age where we''ve mapped the human genome and explored much of the physical world, the study of people''s behaviour is one of the most exciting frontiers of scientific endeavor.In this Very Short Introduction Richard Crisp tells the story of social psychology, its history, concepts and major theories. Discussing the classic studies that have defined the discipline, Crisp introduces social psychology''s key thinkers, and shows how their personal histories spurred them to understand what connects people to people, and the societies in which we live. Taking us from the first ideas of the discipline to its most cutting edge developments, Crisp demonstrates how social psychology remains profoundly relevant to everyday life. From attitudes to attraction, prejudice to persuasion, health to happiness - social psychology provides insights that can change the world, and help us tackle the defining problems of the 21st century.

Up to the 1960s, psychology was deeply under the influence of behaviourism, which focused on stimuli and responses, and regarded consideration of what may happen in the mind as unapproachable scientifically. This began to change with the devising of methods to try to tap into what was going on in the ''black box'' of the mind, and the development of ''cognitive psychology''. With the study of patients who had suffered brain damage or injury to limited parts of the brain, outlines of brain components and processes began to take shape, and by the end of the 1970s, a new science, cognitive neuroscience, was born. But it was with the development of ways of accessing activation of the working brain using imaging techniques such as PET and fMRI that cognitive neuroscience came into its own, as a science cutting across psychology and neuroscience, with strong connections to philosophy of mind. Experiments involving subjects in scanners while doing various tasks, thinking, problem solving, and remembering are shedding light on the brain processes involved. The research is exciting and new, and often makes media headlines. But there is much misunderstanding about what brain imaging tells us, and the interpretation of studies on cognition. ...

How is a subway map different from other maps? What makes a knot knotted? What makes the Möbius strip one-sided? These are questions of topology, the mathematical study of properties preserved by twisting or stretching objects. In the 20th century topology became as broad and fundamental as algebra and geometry, with important implications for science, especially physics.In this Very Short Introduction Richard Earl gives a sense of the more visual elements of topology (looking at surfaces) as well as covering the formal definition of continuity. Considering some of the eye-opening examples that led mathematicians to recognize a need for studying topology, he pays homage to the historical people, problems, and surprises that have propelled the growth of this field.

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringThe Second World War was the most destructive conflict in history. It left Europe in ruins, its economies severely damaged and millions of its people facing malnutrition, its political systems shaken if not destroyed. Yet three decades later its economies had recovered; it largely appeared politically stable; its inhabitants generally were well housed and well fed. Then at the end of the 1980s, the postwar settlement disintegrated, and a new chapter in Europe''s postwar history had begun.In this Very Short introduction, Richard Bessel presents a clear, concise, informative account of Europe''s history between the end of the Second World War and roughly the end of the twentieth century. He explores the conditions in Europe at the end of the war, how political life took shape and societies were rebuilt, the impressive economic recovery, the Cold War division, the end of empire, and European cultural life. Bessel discusses how we might understand the beginnings and endings of the postwar era, and emphasises the importance of the experiences and actions of specific generations of Europeans.

On Easter, 2014, Britain''s best-loved vicar, the Rev. Richard Coles, led a pilgrimage to all the major historic sites of the Holy Land: from Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee in the North, via Jericho and the Jordan River, to Bethlehem and, finally, Jerusalem. All of the pilgrims in his care were practising Christians, except one: the writer Kevin Jackson, a diffident and sympathetic atheist intrigued by the chance to take part in this modern-day version of an ancient act of piety, and to learn some more about his old friend, the media clergyman. Coles to Jerusalem is Kevin Jackson''s light-hearted diary of that pilgrimage, and a close-up portrait of Richard Coles both as priest and as man.

Newyorská rabínka v deseti kapitolách velmi dojemně, přesvědčivě a s humorem na mnoha příkladech z vlastní zkušenosti vypráví o vlastní cestě k Bohu, k pokoře a přijetí všech stránek života. Řešením je nalezení „božské jiskry“, tj. Božího úmyslu v sobě, a její udržování. Kniha je zajímavá i autentickým zachycením prostředí, v němž žijí newyorští Židé, a krátkými, zábavnými příběhy o chasidských mudrcích. Deset kapitol se zabývá vnitřním vývojem člověka zasaženého nepředvídanými životními událostmi, jeho posunem k pravdivému životu, uzavřením „partnerství“ s Bohem, nacházením obecného smyslu v životních událostech a s tím spojenými pochybnostmi. Sherre Hirsch je americká rabínka, spisovatelka a spirituální koučka, mediálně velmi známá. Napsala ještě další knihu: Jak se vypořádat s životními změnami a žít bez strachu a výčitek svědomí (2015).

Na obtížná životní období lze nahlížet různým způsobem. Autorka této knihy je nepovažuje za překážky, ale za „prahy“. Přirovnává život k přebývání v domě s mnoha místnostmi, do nichž můžeme vkročit teprve po překonání a zpracování příslušného prahu, tj. životní křižovatky. Sedm kapitol, psaných s typickým laskavým humorem a nadhledem, se zabývá tím, jak s co nejmenší újmou překonat důležité životní mezníky a přechodové situace, pozitivní i negativní, ať už se jedná o narození dítěte, sňatek, úmrtí blízké osoby nebo ztrátu zaměstnání. Tématy k úvahám jsou například strach spojený s takovouto změnou, osudovost životních zvratů, důležitost instinktu, omezení perfekcionismu, potřeba odstupu a nadhledu a nutnost změnu přijmout, nikoli ji popírat. Podobně jako u titulu Lidé plánují, Bůh se směje nás potěší příběhy z newyorského židovského prostředí, zdánlivě jednoduchá zamyšlení překvapující svým dosahem i odkazy na nejnovější psychologický výzkum. Sherre Hirsch je americká rabínka, spisovatelka a spirituální koučka. V Portále vyšla její kniha Lidé plánují, Bůh se směje.
