John Wiley and Sons Ltd Culture as Embodiment
Book SynopsisCulture as Embodiment utilizes recent insights in psychology, cognitive, and affective science to reveal the cultural patterning of behavior in group-related practices.Trade Review"What I liked most about Culture as Embodiment is its positioning of psychological principles and behavioral patterns within the context of everyday life. This aspect of the book should not come as a surprise, given its focus on culture. But it is noteworthy, nonetheless, because in covering what are at times quite abstract concepts in psychology and beyond (e.g. metaphorical reasoning) the authors manage to force readers to traverse multiple terrains across history, economics, political science, and anthropology." PsycCritiques, July 2014 “In sum, with rich analyses and admirable aims, Culture as Embodiment reimagines what a psychological science of culture can mean for the 21st century, providing a compelling alternative to prevailing cultural psychological theories.” Theory and Psychology, July 2015Table of ContentsPreface vii Acknowledgments xii Part One Towards a New Psychology of Culture 1 1 Understanding Culture 3 2 Inventing Culture Theory 27 3 A Psychological Perspective on Culture 70 Part Two Sex, Status, Age, Ethnicity, and Faith 109 4 Sex: The Shaping of Sex and Gender 113 5 Status: The Body of Class and Organized Compliance 141 6 Age: The Optimal Balance of Love and Challenge 160 7 Ethnicity: Cultural Arrests and Bicultural Competence 188 8 Faith: Religion as a Man-made Order 211 Part Three Psychology and Globalization 243 9 A Psychology of Globalization 245 10 Epilogue 287 Bibliographical Essay 292 Index 319

Book SynopsisTrade Review"For quite a while, we’ve needed, in one handy place, high-quality straight information about the low-quality crooked information inundating our lives. In the nick of time, [Foolproof] provides that straight information about the origins, workings, and consequences of misinformation/disinformation-infused messaging.… I am so glad we now have this book. There’s nothing else like it." -- Robert B. Cialdini, New York Times best-selling author of Influence and Pre-Suasion"Foolproof…is authoritative, comprehensive and chatty. You won’t find a better survey of what is now a vast interdisciplinary landscape." -- Tim Harford - Financial Times"[Prebunking] is likely our best strategy for winning the misinformation wars." -- Troy Jollimore - Washington Post"[Sander van der Linden] powerfully analyses why everyone is susceptible [to misinformation], how falsehoods spread, and how to ‘prebunk’ misinformation and ‘inoculate’ ourselves and others against it." -- Andrew Robinson - Nature"Van der Linden’s book expertly lays out strategies for counteracting misinformation." -- Christie Aschwanden - Undark"Foolproof is an astonishingly well-researched overview of a persistent societal problem and a highly readable guide to keeping your mind relatively misinformation-free." -- Andy Norman and Lee McIntyre - Psychology Today"This brilliant book vividly illuminates the challenges of countering misinformation, showing how human psychology can make us vulnerable to manipulation and conspiracy theories. Van der Linden’s analysis would be utterly depressing, were he not to provide a set of powerful evidence-based 'antigens' designed to protect us from false claims. They have never been more needed." -- Sir David Spiegelhalter, author of The Art of Statistics: How to Learn from Data"Mis- and disinformation have caused a worldwide infodemic, potentially crumbling democracies and eroding our fundamental trust in one another. This outstanding and easy-to-read summary of the science, offered by the foremost scientific authority on the subject, is essential reading for us all." -- Mitchell J. Prinstein, chief science officer of the American Psychological Association"A fascinating, in-depth investigation into the complex landscape of misinformation.… You will never look at your social media feeds in the same way again." -- Angela Saini, author of Superior"An insightful and forensic examination of why our brains entertain disinformation—and the remedies that can protect us all from its real-world harm. For everyone who messages me asking how they can speak to someone who has fallen victim to online conspiracies—this is the book for you!" -- Marianna Spring, BBC Disinformation Correspondent and author of Among the Trolls"Reminding us that we are all susceptible to believing lies, Foolproof is a highly necessary do-it-yourself guide for building mental resilience against false information." -- Dr. Seema Yasmin, author of What the Fact?! Finding the Truth in All the Noise"Sander van der Linden is one of the world’s leading experts on combating misinformation, and Foolproof is the ultimate handbook for navigating—and fighting back against—the tsunami that threatens to drown us in bullshit. Whether you’re facing a sketchy internet rumor or listening to your uncle spin another conspiracy, this book will give you the best strategies for building immunity against fake news, propaganda, and conspiracy theories." -- Jay J. Van Bavel, coauthor of The Power of Us"Bringing the psychology of misinformation to life, Foolproof…outlines exciting techniques for protecting ourselves and those we care about. One of the smartest and, ultimately, most optimistic books on the subject I’ve read." -- Claire Wardle, cofounder and codirector of the Information Futures Lab, Brown University"Thoroughly researched and lucidly written, [Foolproof] is a standout guide to one of the world’s most pressing social issues." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"[A] well-researched, psychologically astute book…and a powerful argument for the effectiveness of delivering a small dose of misinformation in order to inoculate against a major infection…Insightful, convincing, instructive reading." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Johns Hopkins University Press Living with Schizophrenia
Book SynopsisAn estimated 51 million people worldwide have schizophrenia, 2.2 million of them in the United States. While early diagnosis and appropriate treatment improve the long-term prognosis, schizophrenia is a disease that is difficult to manage. In Living with Schizophrenia, Drs. Jeffrey Rado and Philip G.

Johns Hopkins University Press The Poetry of Weldon Kees
Book SynopsisThe first rigorous literary engagement with Weldon Kees's poetry, this book is an astonishing reassessment of one of the twentieth century's most gifted writers.Trade ReviewAlthough Kees remained invisible to academics, he exerted a powerful influence on young poets. The huge gap in Kees’s reputation between poets and professors came to symbolize the stark differences in literary taste among creative and theoretical thinkers who often coexist uneasily in the same English department. John T. Irwin, a poet and literary critic who teaches at Johns Hopkins University, has partially closed the gap in a brilliant new study of this neglected author. Most pioneering monographs are cautious in their approach. Irwin’s The Poetry of Weldon Kees: Vanishing as Presence is audacious and provocatively speculative. Declaring Kees ‘the most interesting poet of his generation,’ Irwin frames the author’s life and work against a backdrop of modern literature and philosophy. concise, clearly argued, and free from critical cant, the book is a model of scholarly writing; it also reminds the reader how revelatory literary criticism can be. For Irwin, the stakes are not merely academic; understanding Kees is literally a matter of life or death.—Dana Gioia, Poet and former NEA chair, The American ScholarIrwin's sensitive readings are consistently illuminating.—The American Scholar. . . Irwin insightfully opens doors into a few works an lays groundwork for further exploration of Kee's place in contemporary poetry.—Library JournalIrwin writes with the courtly civility and cultivation of a bygone era, which is pleasing unto itself, and the book as an object continues this pleasure; at 120 pages, it’s a categorically slim volume, which speaks not just to Irwin’s economy of style, but also to his subject’s short life, which ended (as far as we know) at 41.—Los Angeles Review of Books. . . Irwin’s memoir is a nice little piece – almost more a lengthy essay which includes Kees’s art, and the writer’s life – it discusses the philosophy of Nietzsche and nihilism, Camus’ major influence on the idea of suicide and the bizarre and flat out strange nature of disappearances.—Portland Book ReviewIrwin considers Kees’s disappearance in the light of his poems and vice versa, and traces influences upon Kees’s thinking by rereading the many authors Kees mentioned in his own writings, paying particular attention to mentions of suicide and resurrection.—SpikedDespite my differing assessment of the value of Kees’s poetry, I have no doubt that John Irwin’s book is essential. Its conversational prose avoids jargon, and it offers both thoughtful analysis and new insights derived from difficult research. The Poetry of Weldon Kees: Vanishing as Presence will thoughtfully guide future scholars. I recommend it highly.—Claremont Review of Books. . . Irwin avoids academic jargon and theories du jour; calling the book "the eventual fulfillment of a lengthy admiration" for Kees, he is clearly eager to share that esteem not only to fill a gap in academic literature, but also to bring this fascinating and overlooked poet to more readers. I hope he succeeds.—Weekly StandardTable of ContentsPreface1. People Who Vanish2. An Almost Invisible Note3. The Excellence of Weldon Kees4. "The dynamics of inferential mention"5.
