Rethinking our relationship with Earth in a time of environmental emergency The world is changing. Progress no longer has a future but any earlier sense of Earth as “providential” seems of merely historical interest. The apparent absence of Earthly solicitude is a symptom and consequence of these successive Western modes of engagement with the Earth, now exemplified in global capitalism. Within these constructs, Earth can only appear as constitutively indifferent to the fate of all its inhabitants. The “provisional ecology” outlined in Does the Earth Care?-drawing on a variety of literary and philosophical sources from Richard Jefferies and Robert Macfarlane to Martin Heidegger and Gaia theory-fundamentally challenges that assumption, while offering an Earthly alternative to either cold realism or alienated despair in the face of impending ecological disaster. Forerunners is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital works. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.

Current Themes in Social Psychology

This book presents current theoretical and empirical information on areas of social psychology that have not been fully explored in recent times. These issues are not only topical but relevant to theorizing and research in social psychology. In a world that is globalizing, academic work must have an international dimension, especially in the behavioural sciences. The contributors to in "Current Themes in Social Psychology" are attached to universities across the world, including Great Britain, the United States, Germany, the Caribbean, Serbia and Spain. Such diversity makes for a richer understanding and appreciation of the discipline of social psychology by undergraduate and graduate students as well as academics.
This book examines the human proclivity to resist changing our beliefs. Drawing on psychological, neurological, and philosophical research, and integrating topics as wide ranging as emotion, cognition, social (and physical) context, and learning theory, Lao and Young explore why this resistance to change impedes our learning and progression. They also suggest that failure to adapt our beliefs to available and informed evidence can incur costs that may be seen in personal growth, politics, science, law, medicine, education, and business. Resistance to Belief Change explores the various manifestations of resistance, including overt, discursive, and especially inertial forms of resistance. As well as the influential factors that can impact upon them, the book also examines how the self-directed learner, as well as teachers, may structure the learning experience to overcome resistance and facilitate progressive and adaptive learning. Lao and Young find that the impediments to learning and resistance to change are far more prevalent and costly than previously suggested in research, and so this book will be of interest to a range of people in cognitive development, social psychology, and clinical and educational psychology.

Double-Edged Sword When a debilitating disease left young Jason physically and intellectually impaired, his adoptive father, Cheiron, brought him back to health with intense exercise, love, and discipline. But Jason's mind had lost years of development, and the question was how to restore its cognitive functions. The solution? Build up the boy's reasoning power by creating a story-an epic tale that would stimulate Jason's creativity and challenge him to think in ways he never had before. Echoing the three-thousand-year-old myth of Jason and the Argonauts, father and son invented a voyage and built a ship for a group of heroes to sail the high seas in pursuit of glory and treasure. As the story progressed, the real Jason's mind improved, but at the expense of getting lost in the game. With Jason's becoming ever more deeply involved in the voyage, confusing fiction with reality, the story began to mesh with the boy's life, affecting his relationships with family and friends. Jason as a Young Boy, set in ancient times, retells a boy's passage from adolescence to manhood. "A retelling of Jason's myth, with an emphasis on the healing power of story...a classic tale...many thrilling moments..." --Kirkus Reviews "...a powerful recommendation for any who enjoy early Greek history and historical novels based on exploring the psychology of motivation." --Midwest Book Review
