The History Press Ltd Cambridge Student Pranks
Book SynopsisCambridge University is famed for the resourcefulness and innovation of its students. However, not all the undergraduates have devoted their talents to academia; instead they spent their time devising ingenious and hilarious pranks to play on the unsuspecting dons. This fascinating volume recalls some of the greatest stunts and practical jokes in the University's history, including: the story of how a group of students fooled the art world with their Post-Impressionist exhibition; the Zanzibar hoax, in which members of the famous Bloomsbury set conned the Mayor of Cambridge (a hoax which sowed the seeds for their later VIP inspection'' of HMS Dreadnought which duped the Royal Navy); and of course the most famous prank of all the Austin Seven on the roof of Senate House. This enthralling work will amaze and entertain in equal measure and may well prove a source of inspiration for current students wishing to enliven their undergraduate days.

Cambridge University Press The Early Years of Industrial and Organizational Psychology
Book SynopsisThis book provides a history of the origins of industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology, focusing on the late nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries. Taking an international perspective, The Early Years of Industrial-Organizational Psychology examines the context in which the field emerged, and its origins in the measurement of individual differences. Andrew J. Vinchur covers the initial applications of psychology in advertising, the study of fatigue, and especially employee selection, as well as the role industrial psychology played in World War I and the post-war expansion of the field. He also examines the education of industrial psychologists, their efforts to establish industrial psychology as a profession, and the beginnings of the organizational side of the field.Trade Review'This book provides a compelling look at the extent of research on applied topics in the early years of the 20th century and at how it affected current theory and research. In unfolding industrial and organizational psychology, the author links the work of the applied psychologists to the major historical figures in psychology, showing that the connection between theory and application was closer than is apparent from standard histories. This book is a welcome addition to the history of applied psychology.' B. C. Beins, Choice'This is, in one sense, a very ambitious book, aiming to provide a 'comprehensive picture' of the early years of what is now known as industrial-organizational (IO) psychology. It has a global scope (although the United States receives most attention) and covers roughly half a century, from the late 1800s to the 1930s … it is impressive in its offerings and scope.'

Cambridge University Press The Value of Intellectual Styles
Book SynopsisIntellectual styles are individuals'' preferred ways of using their abilities. This book provides the first comprehensive and systematic review of existing research on the value and desirability of different intellectual styles. By critically analyzing findings from hundreds of international studies undertaken over eight decades, Li-fang Zhang demonstrates that the creativity-generating Type I styles are generally superior to the norm-conforming Type II styles in relation to a wide range of learning processes and developmental outcomes, work performance, physical and mental health, and many other domains of people''s lives. She further demonstrates that people explicitly and implicitly express their preference for Type I styles over Type II styles. Professor Zhang elucidates the practical value of cultivating diverse intellectual styles, especially Type I styles, in both academic and nonacademic settings, and lays the groundwork for future research to advance the field of intellectual Trade Review'Given her contributions to the field of intellectual styles, today Professor Zhang is a true leader of this field. This book is the most recent overview of the field; it presents its current status and sets the standards and parameters for its development.' Elena L. Grigorenko, Yale University, Connecticut'Standardized tests predict school and life success, but only to a modest or at best moderate degree. What are they missing? In her book, Li-fang Zhang suggests that a 'missing link' is intellectual styles - people's preferred ways of using the abilities they have. Although some have questioned the value of the style concept, Zhang makes a powerful and compelling case for their value, drawing on a range of empirical evidence that should leave no doubt in the mind of any serious reader regarding the value of the construct. This book will be important reading for anyone interested in understanding and improving prediction of life outcomes above and beyond what ca be gleaned from conventional standardized tests. The field is truly fortunate to have such a valuable and timely resource.' Robert J. Sternberg, Cornell University'If there is ever a book to advance the styles/strategies debate, this is it! Zhang mounts a spirited attack and defense of this literature and points us in an exciting direction.' John Hattie, University of MelbourneTable of ContentsPart I. General Introduction: 1.

Cambridge University Press The Early Years of Industrial and Organizational Psychology
Book SynopsisThis book provides a history of the origins of industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology, focusing on the late nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries. Taking an international perspective, The Early Years of Industrial-Organizational Psychology examines the context in which the field emerged, and its origins in the measurement of individual differences. Andrew J. Vinchur covers the initial applications of psychology in advertising, the study of fatigue, and especially employee selection, as well as the role industrial psychology played in World War I and the post-war expansion of the field. He also examines the education of industrial psychologists, their efforts to establish industrial psychology as a profession, and the beginnings of the organizational side of the field.Trade Review'This book provides a compelling look at the extent of research on applied topics in the early years of the 20th century and at how it affected current theory and research. In unfolding industrial and organizational psychology, the author links the work of the applied psychologists to the major historical figures in psychology, showing that the connection between theory and application was closer than is apparent from standard histories. This book is a welcome addition to the history of applied psychology.' B. C. Beins, Choice'This is, in one sense, a very ambitious book, aiming to provide a 'comprehensive picture' of the early years of what is now known as industrial-organizational (IO) psychology. It has a global scope (although the United States receives most attention) and covers roughly half a century, from the late 1800s to the 1930s … it is impressive in its offerings and scope.'

Cambridge University Press Sustaining Early Childhood Learning Gains
Book SynopsisHow gains from early childhood experiences are initiated, increased, sustained, and affect life-course development are fundamental to science and society. They also have increasing policy relevance, given public investments in early learning programs and the need to measure their effectiveness in promoting well-being. With contributions from leading researchers across many disciplines, this book emphasizes key interventions and practices over the first decade of life and the elements and strategies through which gains can be enhanced by schools, families, communities, and public institutions. Three critical themes are addressed: firstly, the importance of documenting and understanding the impact of investments in early childhood and school-age years. Secondly, increased priority on elements and principles for scaling effective programs and practices to benefit all children. Thirdly, a focus on multiple levels of strategies for sustaining gains and promoting long-term effects, ranging fTrade Review'This book has it all.

The authors themselves are a who's who list of scientists with vast experience in knowing what works. The book clearly shows that good early childhood policy and effective school reform go hand in hand.' Arne Duncan, Former Secretary, United States Department of Education'This research reinforces why we're taking significant strides to expand early education, which is fundamentally about giving every child in every neighborhood their best chance to succeed. Reynolds and Temple show us that these significant investments in our children will help level the playing field, further close the achievement gap, and build stronger communities for generations to come.' Rahm Emanuel, Mayor, City of Chicago'This volume focuses on one of the most crucial issues facing us today: how to build upon and sustain the gains from early intervention. The editors and authors are clear that we need a multi-year commitment to continuity and quality. The work presented here provides powerful justification for this comprehensive investment.' Samuel J. Meisels, Founding Executive Director, Buffett Early Childhood Institute, University of Nebraska'The research is ripe with insights and directives gleaned from years of investments, programming, and evaluations. This is well-timed and well-aimed as public and private investments in early childhood seek to spur an increasingly greater impact. It is an invaluable volume for practitioners, policymakers, and all those who care about increasing opportunities for young children.'

Cambridge University Press Wisdom
Book SynopsisThe world is simultaneously facing many crises that humanity is failing to solve. Yet, at the same time, humans are smarter (with IQs on average thirty points higher than a century ago) and more knowledgeable (with the world''s knowledge base at our fingertips), and scientific advances are accelerating. However, intelligence and knowledge are not enough: wisdom harnesses these strengths to serve the common good. Education is focused on acquiring knowledge, but schools would do better also to teach and test for the development of wisdom. To a lot of people, wisdom is an abstraction, but there is a growing body of scientific research into what wisdom is and how it works. This introduction sets out why wisdom is so important. Drawing on insights from psychology, philosophy, science, and common sense, this book provides a complete account of wisdom and how we can develop it throughout our lives.Trade Review'Two world leaders in the science of wisdom have teamed up to write the first broad survey of the field, considering what wisdom means in this growing field, why it matters, how it can be measured, how it develops, and how it can be cultivated in ourselves and in society. Written in an easy and engaging style, this book has something to offer everyone, from those newly interested in wisdom to seasoned researchers exploring this topic for themselves.' Michel Ferrari, Associate Professor of Developmental Psychology and Education, University of Toronto, Canada'Robert J. Sternberg and Judith Glück are pioneers in wisdom research. Their new book is full of deep insights needed in the polarized and uncertain world of today. Instead of viewing wisdom as an unattainable ideal bestowed on selected few, these authors show that most of us can cultivate wise thinking in our daily lives.'

I hope this book helps bring it about.' Nicholas Maxwell, Emeritus Reader in Philosophy of Science, University College London, UK'You can't get much better than Robert J. Sternberg and Judith Glück to introduce people to the psychological concept of wisdom.

Their conversational style will entice many readers to an understanding of the considerable erudition they have to offer.' Bernard McKenna, Emeritus Associate Professor of Business Communication, University of Queensland, Australia'This book explains how psychological science contributes to our understanding of wisdom.

Cornerstone The Inequality Machine: How universities are
Book Synopsis'Indelible and extraordinary, a powerful reckoning with just how far we've allowed reality to drift from our ideals.' Tara Westover, New York Times Book ReviewWe're told that universities are our greatest driver of social mobility. But it's a lie.The Inequality Machine is a damning exposé of how the university system ingrains injustice at every level of American society.Paul Tough, bestselling author of How Children Succeed, exposes a world where small-town colleges go bust, while the most prestigious raise billions every year; where overstretched admissions officers are forced to pick rich candidates over smart ones; where black and working-class students are left to sink or swim on uncaring campuses. Along the way, he uncovers cutting-edge research from the academics leading the way to a new kind of university - one where students succeed not because of their background, but because of the quality of their minds.The result is a call-to-arms for universities that work for everyone, and a manual for how we can make it happen.'Humanizes the process of higher education . . .
