Why Life Speeds Up AsYou Get OlderHow Memory Shapes our PastDouwe DraaismaRijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands

Translated by Arnold Pomeransand Erica Pomerans

Is it true, as the novelist CeesNoteboom once wrote, that ‘Memory islike a dog that lies down where itpleases’? Where do the long, lazysummers of our childhood go? Why is itthat as we grow older time seems tocondense, speed up, elude us while inold age significant events from ourdistant past can seem as vivid and realas what happened yesterday? In thisenchanting and thoughtful book,Douwe Draaisma, author of theinternationally acclaimed Metaphors ofMemory, explores the nature ofautobiographical memory. Applying aunique blend of scholarship, poeticsensibility and keen observation hetackles such extraordinary phenomenaas déjà-vu, near-death experiences, thememory feats of idiot-savants and theeffects of extreme trauma on memoryrecall. Raising almost as many questionsas it answers, this fascinating book willnot fail to touch you at the same timeas it educates and entertains.‘It is a joy to read with chapters ondéjà vu, savants, trauma and first tolast memories, providing a fresh andcogent look at how and why weremember.’Publishing News

Being Together,Working ApartDual-Career Families and theWork-Life BalanceEdited by Barbara SchneiderUniversity of Chicago

and Linda J. WaiteUniversity of Chicago

Despite the fact that most parents areemployed, how work affects the livesand well-being of parents and theirchildren remains relatively unexplored. Arecent study of 500 dual-career familiesin 8 communities across the US providesa holistic view of the complexities ofwork and family life experienced byparents and their children. Drawing onthe study, this book explores how dual-earner families cope with the stressesand demands of balancing work andfamily life, whether the time parentsspend working is negatively affectingtheir children, how mothers feel

managing both work and householdresponsibilities, and what role fathersare taking in family life. In answeringthese questions the authors argue for anew balance between work and familylife. The book with its rich data, findings,and commentary from aninterdisciplinary group of scholarsprovides a valuable resource foracademics, policy makers, and workingparents.

My Neighbor, MyEnemyJustice and Community in theAftermath of Mass AtrocityEdited by Eric StoverUniversity of California, Berkeley

and Harvey M. WeinsteinUniversity of California, Berkeley

My Neighbour, My Enemy tackles acrucial and highly topical issue – howdo countries rebuild after ethniccleansing and genocide? And what roledo trials and tribunals play in socialreconstruction and reconciliation. Bytalking with people in Rwanda and theformer Yugoslavia and carrying outextensive surveys, the authors explorewhat people think about their past andthe future. Their conclusionscontroversially suggest thatinternational or local trials have littlerelevance to reconciliation. Communitiesunderstand justice far more broadlythan it is defined by the internationalcommunity and the relationship oftrauma to a desire for trials is not clear-cut. The authors offer an ecologicalmodel of social reconstruction andconclude that coordinated multi-systemic strategies must beimplemented if social repair is to occur.Finally, the authors suggest that whiletrials are essential to combat impunityand punish the guilty, their strengthsand limitations must be acknowledged.

Psychology andExperienceBenjamin BradleyCharles Sturt University, Albury, New SouthWales

If personal experience is the basic rawmaterial for psychology, why do all themajor psychologies of the past centurymarginalise or deny it? In this thought-provoking new book Benjamin Bradleyshows how our everyday experiencesneed to be at the core of the scientificdiscipline. He calls for a move awayfrom attempts to reconcile the manycontrasting and often opposing theoriesand philosophies of contemporarypsychology, and instead puts forward ascholarly and exciting new vision forpsychology which focuses on the ‘here-and-now’ and the importance of othersas equals in teaching and research. Heencourages the reader to reconsider thevery basis of our understanding of whatexperience is. This uniquely inspiring andpractical text will prove an invaluableresource for all those interested inteaching, learning and researchingabout the mind.

Emotional Experienceand ReligiousUnderstandingIntegrating Perception,Conception and FeelingMark WynnUniversity of Exeter

In this book Mark Wynn argues that thelandscape of philosophical theologylooks rather different from theperspective of a re-conceived theory ofemotion. In matters of religion, we donot need to opt for objective contentover emotional form or vice versa. Onthe contrary, these strategies aremistaken at root, since form andcontent are not properly separable here– because ‘inwardness’ may contributeto ‘thought-content’, or because (to usethe vocabulary of the book) emotionalfeelings can themselves constitutethoughts; or because, to put the point afurther way, in religious contexts,perception and conception are ofteninfused by feeling. Wynn uses thisperspective to forge a distinctiveapproach to a range of establishedtopics in philosophy of religion, notably:religious experience; the problem of evil;

the relationship of religion and ethics,and religion and art; and in general, theconnection of ‘feeling’ to doctrine andtradition.

The Idea of the SelfThought and Experience inWestern Europe since theSeventeenth CenturyJerrold SeigelNew York University

What is the self? The question haspreoccupied people in many times andplaces, but nowhere more than in themodern West, where it has spawneddebates that still resound today. JerroldSeigel here provides an original andpenetrating narrative of how majorWestern European thinkers and writershave confronted the self since the timeof Descartes, Leibniz, and Locke. Froman approach that is at once theoreticaland contextual, he examines the wayfigures in Britain, France, and Germanyhave understood whether and how farindividuals can achieve coherence andconsistency in the face of the innertensions and external pressures thatthreaten to divide or overwhelm them.He makes clear that recent‘postmodernist’ accounts of the selfbelong firmly to the tradition of Westernthinking they have sought to supersede,and provides an open-ended andpersuasive alternative to claims that themodern self is typically egocentric ordisengaged.‘The Idea of the Self is quite simply themost important and convincing bookabout Western thinking about the selfthat I have encountered. Thescholarship is both deep and sweeping.Seigel’s readings of a wide variety oftexts over more than three centuriesare cogent and beautifully nuanced,and he is remarkably adept at placinghis texts in their relevant nationalcontexts. The result is intellectualhistory at its very best ... quite anevent.’Anthony la Vopa, Professor of History, NorthCarolina State University

The German Traditionof Psychology inLiterature andThought, 1700–1840Matthew BellKing’s College London

The beginnings of psychology are usuallydated from experimental psychology andFreudian psychoanalysis in the latenineteenth century. Yet the period from1700 to 1840 produced some highlysophisticated psychological theorizingthat became central to Germanintellectual and cultural life, well inadvance of similar developments in theEnglish-speaking world. Matthew Bellexplores how this happened, by analysingthe expressions of psychological theory inGoethe’s Faust, Kant’s Critique of PureReason, and in the works of Lessing,Schiller, Kleist, and E. T. A. Hoffmann. Thisstudy pays special attention to the role ofthe German literary renaissance of thelast third of the eighteenth century inbringing psychological theory into popular

consciousness and shaping itstransmission to the nineteenth century. AllGerman texts are translated into English,making this fascinating area of Europeanthought fully accessible to English readersfor the first time.Cambridge Studies in German

The Pictorial World ofthe ChildMaureen CoxUniversity of York

In this lavishly illustrated book, MaureenCox gives a comprehensive andscholarly account of children’sunderstanding and appreciation of artand their developing ability to producetheir own pictures. She discusses themain influences on children’s picture-making, including the popular media,adult’s examples and other children’spictures. As well as discussing theartistic development of typicallydeveloping children, the book alsoincludes a discussion of children withintellectual disabilities and those with atalent for art, some of whom arechildren with autism. We tend to thinkof pictures as a strictly visual medium,but the section on blind children’sability to recognise pictures challengesthis assumption. Cox evaluates the waythat various professional groups usechildren’s pictures, for example to aidrecall of past events. Finally, shediscusses the art curricula in differentcountries and different educationalphilosophies and suggests ways inwhich these different approaches couldbe evaluated.

This fascinating book examines theoriesof children’s perceptions of space andplace and explores how these theoriesare applied to the world of children. Thefocus is on children in large real worldspaces; places that children live in,explore and learn from. These includeclassrooms, playgrounds, homes andyards, towns, communities, countryside,natural environments, and the widerworld. An international team of authorscompare the experiences of children

from different cultures andbackgrounds. Often excluded fromdiscussions of place-design on thepresumption of lack of awareness,young children have manyenvironmental competencies whichshould lead to their inclusion. They canread maps and study photographs,respond to the natural and man-madeworld with great sensitivity, andcontribute considerably to thecommunity. This book will appeal toenvironmental and developmentalpsychologists and geographers, and alsoto planners by linking research onchildren’s understandings and on theirdaily lives to recommendations forpractice.

Drawing on a broad rangeof research and developmental theory,Maria Legerstee takes the view thatinfants have an innate sense of peopleat birth, which is activated throughsympathetic emotions. She questionsthe idea that infants use physicalparameters such as contingencies ormotion to distinguish people fromobjects, and rejects the assumption thatinfants are mechanical creatures beforethey become psychological ones. Sheargues persuasively that before infantslearn to speak, interactions with othersare possible because infants have aprimitive pre-linguistic ‘theory of mind’.This accessible book provides a valuablesynthesis of current thinking on earlysocial and cognitive development andthe origins of theory of mind.

What is the unique mission ofdevelopmental psychology? How has itevolved historically? What are its currentchallenges? The chapters in thiscollection present the view thatresearch, history and policy are essentialand interlocking components of amature developmental psychology.Patterns of human development differmarkedly across historical epochs,cultures and social circumstances. Majorsocietal changes examined bycontributing authors – the advent ofuniversal compulsory schooling, theadoption of a one-child policy in China,US policy shifts in healthcare, welfareand childcare – present ‘naturalexperiments’ in social design. Authorschallenge the idea of a clear distinctionbetween basic and applieddevelopmental research. In sharpcontrast with the view that science isvalue-neutral, developmentalpsychologists have from the outsetpursued the betterment of children andfamilies through educational, childcareand health initiatives. An historicalperspective reveals the beneficial, ifsometimes contentious, interplaybetween empirical research and socialprograms and policies.Cambridge Studies in Social and EmotionalDevelopment

A Neo-VygotskianApproach to ChildDevelopmentYuriy KarpovTouro College, New York

For the first time, the neo-Vygotskianapproach to child development isintroduced to English-speaking readers.Russian followers of Vygotsky haveelaborated his ideas into a theory thatintegrates cognitive, motivational, andsocial aspects of child development withan emphasis on the role of children’sactivity as mediated by adults in theirdevelopment. This theory has becomethe basis for an innovative analysis ofperiods in child development and of themechanism of children’s transitions fromone period to the next. In the book, thediscussion of the neo-Vygotskians’approach to child development issupported by a review of their empiricaldata, much of which has never beenavailable before to English-speakingreaders. The discussion is also supportedby a review of recent empirical findingsof Western researchers, which are highlyconsistent with the neo-Vygotskiananalysis of child development.

The SocialConstruction ofIntellectual DisabilityMark RapleyMurdoch University, Western Australia

Intellectual disability is usually thought ofas a form of internal, individual affliction,little different from diabetes, paralysis orchronic illness. This study, the first book-length application of discursivepsychology to intellectual disability,shows that what we usually understandas being an individual problem is actuallyan interactional, or social, product.Through a range of case studies, whichdraw upon ethnomethodological andconversation analytic scholarship, thebook shows how persons categorized as‘intellectually disabled’ are produced, assuch, in and through their moment-by-moment interaction with care staff andother professionals. Mark Rapley extendsand reformulates current work indisability studies and offers areconceptualisation of intellectualdisability as both a professionallyascribed diagnostic category and anaccomplished – and contested – socialidentity. Importantly, the book isgrounded in data drawn from naturally-occurring, rather than professionallyorchestrated, social interaction.‘The book presents a timely challengeto our profession.

Stereotypes andPrejudice in ConflictRepresentations of Arabs inIsraeli Jewish SocietyDaniel Bar-TalTel-Aviv University

and Yona TeichmanTel-Aviv University

In the last two decades, the study ofsocial stereotypes and prejudice hasbecome one of the central interests insocial psychology in particular. Onereflection of this growing interest is thefocus on shared stereotypes andprejudices. The primary reason for thisdevelopment is the recognition thatstereotypes and prejudice play adeterminative role in shaping intergrouprelations. In situations of conflict, theyare simultaneously outcomes of theaccumulated animosity between theinvolved groups and also feed on thecontinuation of the conflict byfurnishing the cognitive-affective basisfor the experienced mistrust by theparties. In spite of this recognition, nosystematic analysis of the stereotypesand prejudice was carried out in realsituations. This book tries to rectify thisby applying a general and universalconceptual framework to the study ofthe acquisition and development ofstereotypes and prejudice in a societyinvolved in an intractable conflict.

All social relations involve emotionalresponses, from the simplest face-to-faceencounter through the mobilization ofsocial movements to the commitmentsthat individuals develop for culture andsociety. The social world is thusdependent upon the arousal ofemotions, and equally significant conflictand change in societies is ultimatelydriven by emotional arousal. Thus, it isimportant to understand how humanemotions influence, and are influencedby, the social world. This understandingtakes us into the sociology of emotionsthat has emerged as a distinct area ofinquiry over the last thirty years.

and David M. MessickNorthwestern University, Illinois

A social dilemma is a situation in whichthe interests of the collective and itsindividual members clash. In thesesituations individuals typically aretempted to take actions that favor(sometimes even maximize) their short-term egocentric interests. However if allgroup members adopt such behaviors,the group suffers since all its membersare worse off than they could be byendorsing alternative pro-social actionsthat favor (sometimes even maximize)the collective interest. This bookprovides an overview and summary of

the state of social psychologicalresearch on social dilemmas. It isorganized around four core issues:individual differences which determinepeople’s preferences for outcomes thatpromote either their own or theirgroup’s well-being; the study of dynamicprocesses based on simulations ofartificial societies; social dilemmas thatemerge in inter-group conflicts; and theeffect of various types and sources ofuncertainty on behavior in socialdilemma situations.

The Disappearance ofthe Social in AmericanSocial PsychologyJohn D. GreenwoodCity University of New York

The Disappearance of the Social inAmerican Social Psychology is a criticalconceptual history of American socialpsychology. In this challenging work,John Greenwood demarcates theoriginal conception of the socialdimensions of cognition, emotion andbehaviour, and of the discipline of socialpsychology itself that was embraced byearly twentieth century American socialpsychologists. He documents how thisfertile conception of social psychologicalphenomena came to be progressivelyneglected as the century developed, tothe point that scarcely any trace of theoriginal conception of the social remainsin contemporary American psychology.Greenwood suggests a number ofsubtle historical reasons why theoriginal conception of the social cameto be abandoned, and by demonstratingthe historical contingency of thisneglect, he indicates that what hasbeen lost may once again be regained.This engaging work will also appeal tosocial psychologists, sociologists,anthropologists and other socialscientists.

This casestudy explores why and how theseAfrican-American women engaged inorganizing efforts to resist governmentdisinvestment in public housing and thethreat of demolition.

Understanding personal relationshipsthroughout the life course is one of themost crucial issues in the behavioraland social sciences. This book bringstogether perspectives from differentdisciplines on individual developmentand personal relationships across thelife span. The book addresses twopertinent dimensions of personalrelationships: 1) structures ofrelationship networks (e.g. kin vs. non-kin, peripheral vs. intimate, short-termvs. long-term) and 2) processes (i.e.change or stability) and outcomes ofpersonal relationships across thelifespan. The book stimulates discussionof personal relationships as resourcesfor and outcomes of individualdevelopment throughout the life course.Different qualities of personalrelationships serve as catalysts forindividual development. At the sametime, relationship qualities reflectchanges of developing individuals. Thebook does not give exclusive priority toone phase of the human life span.Rather, each chapter addresses socialdevelopment across the entire life spanfrom childhood to later adulthood.Advances in Personal Relationships


The Social Costs ofUnderemploymentInadequate Employment asDisguised UnemploymentDavid DooleyUniversity of California, Irvine

and JoAnn PrauseUniversity of California, Irvine

Going beyond the usual focus onunemployment, this explores the healtheffects of other kinds ofunderemployment including forms ofinadequate employment as involuntarypart time and poverty wage work. Usingthe National Longitudinal Survey ofYouth, this compares falling intounemployment versus inadequateemployment relative to remainingadequately employed. Outcomes includeself-esteem, alcohol abuse, depression,and low birth weight. The panel datapermit study of the plausible reversecausation hypothesis of selection.Because the sample is national andfollowed over two decades, the studyexplores cross-level effects (individualchange and community economicclimate) and developmental transitions.Special attention is given to schoolleavers and welfare mothers, and, incross-generational analysis, the effect ofmothers’ employment on babies’ birthweights. There emerges a new way ofconceptualizing employment status as acontinuum ranging from good jobs tobad jobs to employment withimplications for policy on work andhealth.

Risk and ReasonSafety, Law, and theEnvironmentCass R. SunsteinUniversity of Chicago Law School

What should be done about airplanesafety and terrorism, global warming,polluted water, nuclear power, andgenetically engineered food? All overthe globe, risks to safety, health, andthe environment are a subject of intenseinterest. Too much of the time we fearthe wrong things. Sometimes we makethe situation even worse. Rather thaninvestigating the facts, we respond totemporary fears. The result is a situationof hysteria and neglect – andunnecessary illness and death. Risk andReason explains the sources of theseproblems and explores what can bedone about them. It shows howindividual thinking and socialinteractions lead us in foolish directions.Offering sound proposals for socialreform, it explains how a more sensiblesystem of risk regulation, embodied inthe idea of a ‘cost-benefit state’, couldsave many thousands of lives and manybillions of dollars too – and protect theenvironment in the process.‘Regulatory policy debates often fail toserve a constructive role. Advocates ofrisk and environmental regulationmaintain that only with zero risk willwe be safe. Economic critics seek toimpose cost-benefit tests on thesepolicies that many believe ignore thedistinctive character of safety and theenvironment. In Risk and Reason, CassSunstein eliminates the impasse in theregulatory policy debate with abalanced policy perspective thatrecognizes the legitimacy of thesecompeting concerns. Sunstein’scarefully crafted analysis shows howthe limits on society’s resources can bereconciled with a vigorous effort toprotect citizens and the environment.’W. Kip Viscusi, Harvard Law School
