Book SynopsisHenry James, renowned as one of the world’s great novelists, was also one of the most illuminating, audacious, and masterly critics of modern times. This Library of America volume and its companion are a fitting testimony to his unprecedented achievement. They offer the only comprehensive collection of his critical writings ever assembled, more than one-third of which have never appeared in book form.This first volume focuses especially on his responses to American and English writers; the second volume contains his essays on European literature and the Prefaces to the New York Edition of his fiction.From 1864 until virtually the end of his life, James displayed an astonishing range and catholicity of critical interests, touching on nearly every facet of literature in America, England, and Europe. Here are his most important theoretical essays, including his witty and daring declarations of the novelist’s freedom in “The Art of Fiction,” “T

Book SynopsisThis book presents the Complex-System Approach to Personality, which seeks to promote the development of integrative theorizing and subsumes particular insights from earlier models while permitting both within-person and between-person comparisons.Trade Review Prepublication praise: 'This book represents a substantial advance. The author develops a complex theoretical edifice that combines in a judicial way the biological, psychological, and situational approaches to personality. I am certain that Fajkowska's new theory will exert much influence in the years ahead.' (Michael W. Eysenck, Roehampton University, Whitelands College) 'A masterpiece. This book includes many new ideas, presents new material, and constitutes the platform for a new approach to personality.

(Shulamith Kreitler, Tel Aviv University) 'In this book Malgorzata Fajkowska presents her Complex-System Approach to Personality, a pioneering attempt to integrate personality research that proposes a model in which temperament traits and attentional processes are functionally related. An original and unique contribution to the literature on personality.'

Book SynopsisNature or nurture? Are individuals born as an empty slate or are we already programmed to react in certain ways? Jan Strelau has spent more than fifty years studying this question. He bases some of his conclusions on the work of the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov but carries them into the twenty-first century by including genetic studies. Trade Review 'Jan Strelau chronicles his courageous 50-year-long investigation of temperament . . . culminating in . . . the regulative theory of temperament. . . . Strelau’s focus on the regulative aspect of temperament offers important insights for further research to advance our understanding of how temperament affects our actions, especially in stressful circumstances.' (Patricia T. Ashtonin, PsycCRITIQUES) 'The importance of Strelau’s research . . . makes this book indispensable. . . . Strelau has managed the rare achievement of bequeathing a theory of which not only he and his students, collaborators, and disciples can be proud, but indeed the entire field of differential psychology.' (K. V. Petrides, Personality and Individual Differences) Prepublication praise . . . In this exciting new book, Jan Strelau continues to carry on the tradition begun by Ivan Pavlov on temperament. Strelau’swriting and the important research described in the book illuminate our understanding of temperament and show us how to apply this understanding to our work and life. Highly recommended to all in the areas of temperament, personality, and individual differences.' (Mary K. Rothbart, University of Oregon) 'Jan Strelau’s book is of considerable importance to all scientists who study the biological and behavioral bases of individual differences in temperament.

Book SynopsisHarness your mind’s innate tendency to wander, stall, rest, and unfocus and become more productive—in the boardroom, living room, or classroom.Named one of Coastal Living’s Best Books for the Beach This Summer To finish tasks and achieve goals, most people believe that more focus is the solution.

Drawing on the latest brain research, compelling stories from his psychological practice, and colorful examples of counterintuitive success from sports, business, education, and the arts, neuroscientist Srini Pillay, M.D., challenges traditional ideas about productivity, revealing the lasting, positive benefits of adding deliberate and regular unfocus to your repertoire.

Book SynopsisAnn Hulbert’s in-depth exploration of the lives of sixteen extraordinary children over the course of the past century casts new light on America’s current obsession with early achievement. The figures she profiles include math genius Norbert Wiener, founder of cybernetics; two girls whose fiction and poetry stirred debate in the 1920s; the movie superstar Shirley Temple; the African-American pianist and composer Philippa Schuyler; the chess champion Bobby Fischer; computer pioneers and “prodigious savants” with autism; and musical prodigies, present and past. Hulbert probes the changing roles of parents and teachers as well as of psychologists and a curious press. Above all, she delves into the feelings of the prodigies themselves, whose stories so intriguingly raise hopes about untapped human potential and questions about how best to nurture it.

Book SynopsisWith contributions from a multi-disciplinary group of expert contributors, this is the first handbook to discuss all aspects of genius, a topic that endlessly provokes and fascinates.Trade Review“A short review cannot do justice to all of these diverse contributions, which reflect the full range of approaches on Gordon Allport’s idiographic to nomothetic dimension, entail varying degrees of mathematical and statistical analysis, offer differing views on the nature-nurture question, and concern themselves with innumerable varieties of genius and its components. Few readers (apart from reviewers) are likely to devour this book from cover to cover, but it is safe to say that almost everyone will find something within it to capture their attention, to agree with or to question, and above all to ponder with interest.” (PsycCRITIQUES, 27 April 2015)Table of ContentsList of Contributors ix Preface xvii Part I Perspectives 1 1 The Genius in History: Historiographic Explorations 3 Laura C.

Book SynopsisWellbeing in Later Life uses the latest research from a variety of disciplines to address and correct common myths and misconceptions about aging. Covers topics ranging from biological mechanisms that affect aging to lifestyle, attitudes, and social factors Examines the challenges of humanity's increasing life expectancy and includes recommendations for maintaining and enhancing wellbeing in later life Makes meaningful connections between research and practice to link aspects of aging which have previously been considered separate Part of the six-volume Wellbeing: A Complete Reference Guide, which brings together leading research from across the social sciences Trade Review"The Guide’s major strengths are its breadth and depth with reviews of the literature, case studies, empirical findings, historical reflections, and future guidance. Scientists working on any subfield can now see how their work informs other fields and ideas for interdisciplinary projects." (PsycCRITIQUES, March 2015) "I would recommend this book for acquisition. Each volume has its own ISBN and there are volume indexes, rather than a master index, so specialist libraries could purchase individual volumes. The different volumes hang together well however, so I would recommend getting the set if possible. This set has arrived on the crest of a wave of academic and, to a lesser extent, public interest. Academic libraries catering for courses in psychology, health-related subjects, education, social policy or economics will all find useful material here." (Reference Reviews, 2014) “This series could complement a variety of libraries, such as a home or personal library, office, or academic setting. Wellbeing is a global topic that influences each individual. This series is a valuable resource.” (American Reference Books Annual, 1 June 2014) Table of ContentsAbout the Editors vii Contributors ix Full Contents of Wellbeing: A Complete Reference Guide xi Introduction to Wellbeing: A Complete Reference Guide xxv 1 Introduction: Wellbeing in Later Life 1Cary L.
