Culture across the Curriculum provides a useful handbook for
psychology teachers in the major subfields of the discipline. From
introductory psychology to the foundations in such areas as social
psychology, statistics, research methods, memory, cognition,
personality, and development, to such specialized courses as
language, sexual minorities, and peace psychology, there is
something here for virtually every teacher of psychology. In
addition to discussions of the rationale for inclusion of cultural
context in their areas of specialization, these experienced
teachers also offer advice and ideas for teaching exercises and
activities to support the teaching of a psychology of all people.
The essays in Pragmatist and American Philosophical Perspectives on
Resilience offer a survey of the ways that "resilience" is becoming
a key concept for understanding our world, as well as providing
deeper insight about its specific actual and proposed applications.
From climate change preparedness to mental health, resilience has
recently emerged as a central focus of a variety of disciplines
grounded in theoretical approaches as disparate as environmental
philosophy, psychology, safety engineering, political science, and
urban planning. As an emerging concept with multiple theoretical
and practical meanings, "resilience" promises considerable
explanatory power. At the same time, current uses of the concept
can be diverse and at times inconsistent. The American
philosophical tradition provides tools uniquely suited for
clarifying, extending, and applying emerging concepts in more
effective and suggestive ways. From cultural figures such as
Benjamin Franklin and Wendell Berry to philosophers such as Jane
Addams and William James, this collection explores the usefulness
of theoretical work in American philosophy and pragmatism to
practices in ecology, community, rurality, and psychology.

Psychological ideas originated in ancient philosophy, but
psychology entered the realm of science just over a century ago
with applications to help people shortly afterward. History,
Perspectives, and Applications traces the path of psychology
through philosophy and biology into a vibrant discipline that deals
with the process of development, socialization, learning, abnormal
behaviour, and cultural influences. Throughout psychology's
history, there has been a constant interplay between social forces
and psychological theories. Written in engaging and accessible
prose by experts in the field, this new, full-colour resource is
perfect for anyone interested in this fascinating field of study.
