Now in its third edition, Woods and West's The Psychology of Work and Organizations provides students with a complete introduction to how psychology can help us to better understand the world of work and to change it for the better.
Work psychology has the potential to help people be more productive and prosperous in their jobs, to derive joy from work, flourish rather than languish as a result of their work lives, and to ensure the effectiveness and adaptability of work organizations. Ensuring organizations support environmental concerns, enable positive approaches to equality, diversity and inclusion, and achieve the benefits of new technologies are key themes of this new edition.

A clear-eyed account of learning how to lead in a chaotic world, by General Jim Mattis—the former Secretary of Defense and one of the most formidable strategic thinkers of our time—and Bing West, a former assistant secretary of defense and combat Marine.
Call Sign Chaos is the account of Jim Mattis’s storied career, from wide-ranging leadership roles in three wars to ultimately commanding a quarter of a million troops across the Middle East. Along the way, Mattis recounts his foundational experiences as a leader, extracting the lessons he has learned about the nature of warfighting and peacemaking, the importance of allies, and the strategic dilemmas—and short-sighted thinking—now facing our nation. He makes it clear why America must return to a strategic footing so as not to continue winning battles but fighting inconclusive wars.
Mattis divides his book into three parts: Direct Leadership, Executive Leadership, and Strategic Leadership. In the first part, Mattis recalls his early experiences leading Marines into battle, when he knew his troops as well as his own brothers. In the second part, he explores what it means to command thousands of troops and how to adapt your leadership style to ensure your intent is understood by your most junior troops so that they can own their mission. In the third part, Mattis describes the challenges and techniques of leadership at the strategic level, where military leaders reconcile war’s grim realities with political leaders’ human aspirations, where complexity reigns and the consequences of imprudence are severe, even catastrophic.
Call Sign Chaos is a memoir of a life of warfighting and lifelong learning, following along as Mattis rises from Marine recruit to four-star general. It is a journey about learning to lead and a story about how he, through constant study and action, developed a unique leadership philosophy, one relevant to us all.

Andy West teaches philosophy in prisons. He has conversations with
people inside about their lives, discusses their ideas and feelings
and listens as the men and women he works with explore new ways to
think about their situation. Could we ever be good if we never felt
shame? What makes a person worthy of forgiveness? Could someone in
prison ever be more free than someone outside? These questions
about how to live are ones we all need to ask, but in this setting
they are even more urgent. When Andy steps into jail, he also
confronts his inherited guilt: his father, uncle and brother all
spent time in prison. He has built a different life for himself,
but he still fears that their fate will be his. As he discusses
questions of truth, identity and hope with his students, he
searches for his own form of freedom. Moving, sympathetic, wise and
frequently funny, The Life Inside is an elegantly written and
unforgettable book. Through its blend of memoir, storytelling and
gentle philosophical questioning, readers will gain a new insight
into our justice system, our prisons and the plurality of lives
found inside.
