Book SynopsisStraight Choices provides a fascinating introduction to the psychology of decision making, enhanced by discussion of relevant examples of decision problems faced in everyday life. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout, this edition provides an integrative account of the psychology of decision-making and shows how psychological research can help us understand our uncertain world. The book emphasizes the relationship between learning and decision-making, arguing that the best way to understand how and why decisions are made is in the context of the learning and knowledge acquisition which precedes them, and the feedback which follows. The mechanisms of learning and the structure of environments in which decisions are made are carefully examined to explore their impact on our choices. The authors then consider whether we are all constrained to fall prey to cognitive biases, or whether, with sufficient exposure, we can find optimal decision strategies and improve our decisionTrade Review‘This excellent book is a rare combination – an enjoyable read that beginners will like and a serious text that scholars will study’. - Daniel Kahneman, Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University, USA Table of ContentsPREFACEACKNOWLEDGEMENTS1.

Book SynopsisNeoliberal Feminism and the Discourse of Self-Improvement utilizes feminist critical discourse analysis to examine the language and narratives within self-help literature targeted at women.Giuliana Ferri critically explores the discourse of self-improvement, focusing on how neoliberal values of empowerment and individual fulfilment have been co-opted by elite feminism as a technology of the self. She unpacks how this discourse constructs an idealized image of the empowered womanâone who is portrayed as capable of overcoming patriarchy through the affirmation of innate strength and resilience. Drawing on Marxist feminism and feminist social reproduction theory, the book highlights how neoliberal feminism markets women as entrepreneurs, badass feminists, and successful working mothers, all while obscuring the realities of increasing work precarization and flexibilization in post-industrial societies.Through its feminist critical discourse analysis, the book reveals how these seemingly empowering narratives shift the responsibility for systemic change onto individuals, rather than positioning feminism as a collective, anti-capitalist movement for liberation. By integrating applied linguistics with Marxist feminism and social reproduction theory, this text provides a unique interdisciplinary perspective, making it a key reading for scholars and students of language, gender, and economic systems.

Book SynopsisOfficially, Western societies are waging a war on obesity. Unofficially, we are waging a war on fat people. Anti-fat sentiment is pervasive, and fat people suffer a host of harms as a result: workforce discrimination, inferior medical care, relentless teasing, and internalized shame. A significant proportion of the population endures such harms. Yet, that is not typically regarded as a serious problem. Most of us arenât quite sure: Is it really OK to be fat? This book argues that it is.In Why Itâs OK to Be Fat, Rekha Nath convincingly argues that conventional views of fatness in Western societiesâas a pathology to be fixed or as a moral failingâare ill-conceived. Combining careful empirical investigation with rigorous moral argumentation, this book debunks popular narratives about weight, health, and lifestyle choices that underlie the dominant cultural aversion to fatness. It argues that we should view fatness through the lens of social equality, examining the wide-ranging ways that fat individuals fail to be treated as equals. According to Nath, it is high time that we recognize sizeismâthe systematic ways that our society penalizes fat individuals for their sizeâas a serious structural injustice, akin to racism, sexism, and homophobia.For additional online material from the author, related to this book, please see rekhanath.net
