Learned Helplessness: A Theory for the Age of Personal Control
ISBN: 9780195044676 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When experience with uncontrollable events gives rise to the expectation that events in the future will also elude control, disruptions in motivation, emotion, and learning may ensue. "Learned helplessness" refers to the problems that arise in the wake of uncontrollability. First described in the 1960s among laboratory animals, learned helplessness has since been applied to a variety of human problems entailing inappropriate passivity and demoralization. While learned helplessness is best known as an explanation of depression, studies with both people and animals have mapped out the cognitive...

Bestial Traces: Race, Sexuality, Animality
ISBN: 9780823245208 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. On February 18th, 2009, Sean Delonas published a controversial cartoon in the New York Post depicting two policemen shooting and killing a monkey with the caption: "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill." On the adjoining page was a photo of President Barack Obama signing this very piece of legislation into law. Although public debate over the cartoon has centered entirely on its potentially racist overtones, we might ask from a Darwinian perspective how the stereotype of the black ape works to disavow a universally shared human apehood. How might we comprehend...

Kindred Specters: Death, Mourning, and American Affinity
ISBN: 9780816649846 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The refusal to recognize kinship relations among slaves, interracial couples, and same-sex partners is steeped in historical and cultural taboos. In Kindred Specters, Christopher Peterson explores the ways in which non-normative relationships bear the stigma of death that American culture vehemently denies.
Probing Derrida's notion of spectrality as well as Orlando Patterson's concept of "social death," Peterson examines how death, mourning, and violence condition all kinship relations. Through Charles Chesnutt's The Conjure Woman, Peterson lays bare concepts of...

Monkey Trouble: The Scandal of Posthumanism
ISBN: 9780823277803 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. According to scholars of the nonhuman turn, the scandal of theory lies in its failure to decenter the human. The real scandal, however, is that we keep trying. The human has become a conspicuous blind spot for many theorists seeking to extend hospitality to animals, plants, and even insentient things. The displacement of the human is essential and urgent, yet given the humanist presumption that animals lack a number of allegedly unique human capacities, such as language, reason, and awareness of mortality, we ought to remain cautious about laying claim to any power to eradicate...

Positive Development: Realizing the Potential of Youth
ISBN: 9781412905404 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How can we promote the mental health of adolescents? Although there have been decades of work focusing on eliminating or reducing psychological problems in children and adolescents through psychopathology, clinical psychology, and psychiatry, isn't the ultimate goal for children to be safe, healthy, happy, moral, and fully engaged in life? The papers in this special issue of The ANNALS depart from the tradition of a disease-based model, where well-being is defined by the absence of distress and disorder. Although the authors recognize that decreasing negative aspects is an... How can we promote the mental health of adolescents?

Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification
ISBN: 9780195167016 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 816 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Character" has become a front-and-center topic in contemporary discourse, but this term does not have a fixed meaning. Character may be simply defined by what someone does not do, but a more active and thorough definition is necessary, one that addresses certain vital questions. Is character a singular characteristic of an individual, or is it composed of different aspects? Does character--however we define it--exist in degrees, or is it simply something one happens to have? How can character be developed? Can it be learned? Relatedly, can it be taught, and who might be the most effective...

Primer in Positive Psychology
ISBN: 9780195188332 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Positive psychology is the scientific study of what goes right in life, from birth to death and at all stops in between. It is a newly-christened approach within psychology that takes seriously the examination of that which makes life most worth living. Everyone's life has peaks and valleys, and positive psychology does not deny the valleys. Its signature premise is more nuanced, but nonetheless important: what is good about life is as genuine as what is bad and, therefore, deserves equal attention from psychologists. Positive psychology as an explicit perspective has existed only since 1998,...

Pursuing the Good Life: 100 Reflections on Positive Psychology
ISBN: 9780199916351 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When we think of psychology, we think of a field dedicated to understanding and curing the dark side of life--addictions, phobias, compulsions, anxieties, and on and on. But there is a field of psychology that looks at the bright side, that considers seriously these questions: What makes life most worth living? And how can we pursue a good life? That field is called, not surprisingly, positive psychology. In Pursuing the Good Life, one of the founders of positive psychology, Christopher Peterson, offers one hundred bite-sized reflections exploring the many sides of this exciting new field....

Faith Comes by Hearing: A Response to Inclusivism
ISBN: 9780830825905 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Robert Peterson and Christopher Morgan edit essays that seek to refute inclusivism (i.e., that some who do not know Jesus but repent of their sin and respond to God in faith will be saved by the work of Christ) and set forth a rationale for the view that only those who hear the Gospel and believe in Jesus Christ will be saved.

The Urban Underclass
ISBN: 9780815746058 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 508 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many believe that the urban underclass in America is a large, rapidly increasing proportion of the population; that crime, teenage pregnancy, and high school dropout rates are escalating; and that welfare rolls are exploding. Yet none of these perceptions is accurate. Here, noted authorities, including William J. Wilson, attempt to separate the truth about poverty, social dislocation, and changes in American family life from the myths that have become part of contemporary folklore.
