Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination provides a comprehensive
and compelling overview of what psychological theory and research
have to say about the nature, causes, and reduction of prejudice
and discrimination. It balances a detailed discussion of theories
and selected research with applied examples that ensure the
material is relevant to students. This edition has been thoroughly
revised and updated and addresses several interlocking themes. It
first looks at the nature of prejudice and discrimination, followed
by a discussion of research methods. Next come the psychological
underpinnings of prejudice: the nature of stereotypes, the
conditions under which stereotypes influence responses to other
people, contemporary theories of prejudice, and how individuals'
values and belief systems are related to prejudice. Explored next
are the development of prejudice in children and the social context
of prejudice. The theme of discrimination is developed via
discussions of the nature of discrimination, the experience of
discrimination, and specific forms of discrimination, including
gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, and
appearance. The concluding theme is the reduction of prejudice. The
book is accompanied by a comprehensive website featuring an
Instructor Manual that contains activities and tools to help with
teaching a prejudice and discrimination course; PowerPoint slides
for every chapter; and a Test Bank with short answer and
multiple-choice exam questions for every chapter. This book is an
essential companion for all students of prejudice and
discrimination, including those in psychology, education, social
work, business, communication studies, ethnic studies, and other
disciplines. In addition to courses on prejudice and
discrimination, this book will also appeal to those studying racism
and diversity.

for a reassessment. This essay collection explores attitudes to
colonialism, imperialism and race, as well as important
developments in girlhood and the concept of the New Woman.

Consuming Culture in the Long Nineteenth Century aims to bring
together detailed analyses of the cultural myths, or fictions, of
consumption that have shaped discourses on consumer practices from
the eighteenth century onwards. Individual essays provide an
excitingly diverse range of perspectives, including musicology,
philosophy, history, and art history, cultural and postcolonial
studies as well as the study of literature in English, French, and
German. The broad scope of this collection will engage audiences
both inside and outside academia interested in the politics of food
and consumption in eighteenth and nineteenth century culture.
The twentieth century was the era of "big science." Driven by
strategic rivalries and fierce economic competition, wealthy
governments invested heavily in national science establishments.
Direct funding for institutions like the National Science
Foundation and high-visibility projects, such as the race to the
moon, fueled innovation, growth, and national prestige. But the big
science model left poorer countries out in the cold. Today the
organization of science is undergoing a fundamental transformation.
In T "he New Invisible College, "Caroline Wagner combines
quantitative data and extensive interviews to map the emergence of
global science networks and trace the dynamics driving their
growth. She argues that the shift from big science to global
networks creates unprecedented opportunities for developing
countries to tap science's potential. Rather than squander
resources in vain efforts to mimic the scientific establishments of
the twentieth century, developing country governments can leverage
networks by creating incentives for top-notch scientists to focus
on research that addresses their concerns and by finding ways to
tie knowledge to local problem solving. T "he New Invisible College
"offers both a guidebook and a playbook for policymakers
confronting these tasks.

In her study of the unsuccessful nineteenth-century emigrant,
Tamara S. Wagner argues that failed emigration and return drive
nineteenth-century writing in English in unexpected, culturally
revealing ways. Wagner highlights the hitherto unexplored subgenre
of anti-emigration writing that emerged as an important
counter-current to a pervasive emigration propaganda machine that
was pressing popular fiction into its service. The exportation of
characters at the end of a novel indisputably formed a convenient
narrative solution that at once mirrored and exaggerated public
policies about so-called 'superfluous' or 'redundant' parts of
society. Yet the very convenience of such pat endings was
increasingly called into question. New starts overseas might not be
so easily realizable; emigration destinations failed to live up to
the inflated promises of pro-emigration rhetoric; the 'unwanted'
might make a surprising reappearance. Wagner juxtaposes
representations of emigration in the works of Charles Dickens,
Wilkie Collins, Frances Trollope, and Charlotte Yonge with
Australian, New Zealand, and Canadian settler fiction by Elizabeth
Murray, Clara Cheeseman, and Susanna Moodie, offering a new
literary history not just of nineteenth-century migration, but also
of transoceanic exchanges and genre formation.
The writings of Frances Trollope have been subject to increasing
academic interest in recent years, and are now widely studied. In
this four-volume set her comical, yet subversive, treatment of
Victorian marriage provides an interesting contrast to some of the
more earnest but conventional fiction of the time.

In recent years a global network of science has emerged as a result
of thousands of individual scientists seeking to collaborate with
colleagues around the world, creating a network which rises above
national systems. The globalization of science is part of the
underlying shift in knowledge creation generally: the collaborative
era in science. Over the past decade, the growth in the amount of
knowledge and the speed at which it is available has created a
fundamental shift-where data, information, and knowledge were once
scarce resources, they are now abundantly available. Collaboration,
openness, customer- or problem-focused research and development,
altruism, and reciprocity are notable features of abundance, and
they create challenges that economists have not yet studied. This
book defines the collaborative era, describes how it came to be,
reveals its internal dynamics, and demonstrates how real-world
practitioners are changing to take advantage of it. Most
importantly, the book lays out a guide for policymakers and
entrepreneurs as they shift perspectives to take advantage of the
collaborative era in order to create social and economic welfare.
This book searches for the origins of modern thinking in one of the
best-known stories of our cultural heritage. By applying
institutional and constitutional economics to biblical
interpretation, it uses new approach to reconstruct the Paradise
story. The author challenges the old conceptual dualism between
economics and theology/philosophy.
This book offers a radical new way of approaching the Old
Testament. Sigmund Wagner-Tsukamoto argues that rational,
institutional and constitutional economic lessons can be derived
from the Old Testament, with applications to social conflict and
resolution. The book suggests that this religious text also
anticipated many modern economic advances.

'Talk does not cook rice'. That Asian aphorism, carried across
centuries and continents, coyly offers wisdom, with a knowing
smile, capped off with wink. 'Kick the World, Break Your Foot'
offers hundreds of these timeless nuggets of advice, adorned with
wit and brevity. They variously offer piercing admonishment,
cautious, and encouragement, yet always with a nod to human
nature's endearing quirks. Like this: Straightened too much /
crooked as ever. The Buddha himself would hear the voice of his
wise grandma saying, sonny, you make something worse by trying to
fix it. The more prescient the advice, the harder it can be to
accept. (Who wants to be told they've been doing something badly?)
But the wisdom of these haiku-like aphorisms is passed along as
gently and softly as the brushstrokes of a master Asian
watercolorist. So, advice may never be more welcome than when you
browse this collection of ageless gems.

In early 20th-century Yemen, a sizable Jewish population was
subject to sumptuary laws and social restrictions. Jews regularly
came into contact with Islamic courts and Muslim jurists, by choice
and by necessity, became embroiled in the most intimate details of
their Jewish neighbors lives. Mark S. Wagner draws on
autobiographical writings to study the careers of three Jewish
intermediaries who used their knowledge of Islamic law to
manipulate the shari a for their own benefit and for the good of
their community. The result is a fresh perspective on the place of
religious minorities in Muslim societies."
