John Maze was a giant among philosophers of psychology. This
exciting, new collection of his published work demonstrates that
what is seemingly new in psychology is so often not new at all but
frequently consists of ill-informed corruptions of earlier,
discarded, misguided attempts. Their collection together is timely
in the current, innovatory era of cross-disciplinary exploration
and integration on the borderlands of psychology and philosophy,
where there is a visible danger that the welcome loosening of
barriers to mutual communication also generates some 'wild'
theorizing, familiar enough in the history of psychology itself. A
corpus remarkable for its coherence, intellectual virtuosity and
radicalism over 50 years, it speaks meaningfully to the wide range
of psychological theory throughout its history up to the present
day. Written with elegance and eloquence, the essays entail a
thoroughgoing critical analysis of the most detrimental
philosophical erroers of academic psychology in the 20th century,
the relegation to history by the 20th century academy of some of
the conceptually most promising lines of research, the cost that
has been borne by the discipline of psychology, and the most
promising future direction for the discipline.

Reading Across the Disciplines offers a collection of twelve essays
detailing a range of approaches to dealing with students' reading
needs at the college level. Transforming reading in higher
education requires more than individual faculty members working on
SoTL projects in their particular fields. Teachers need to consider
reading across the disciplines. In this collection, authors from
Australia and North America, teaching in a variety of disciplines,
explore reading in undergraduate courses, doctoral seminars, and
faculty development activities. By paying attention to the
particular classroom and placing those observations in conversation
with scholarly literature, they create new knowledge about reading
in higher education from disciplinary and cross-disciplinary
perspectives. Reading Across the Disciplines demonstrates how
existing research about reading can be applied to specific
classroom contexts, offering models for faculty members whose own
research interests may lie elsewhere but who believe in the
importance of reading.
