  Psycholinguistics - A Very Short...

  This Very Short Introduction to psycholinguistics is an accessible and engaging description of how people use language. Talking and understanding language probably seem like simple and straightforward skills, but research in psycholinguistics has shown that complex computations take place behind the scenes when you communicate with others. Recent debates concerning how AI tools such as ChatGPT work highlight some of these core questions about the language faculty and how it is that humans comprehend, produce, and learn language. 
   
   
   
  The book begins with an overview of the fields of linguistics and psychology and how they have cooperated from the earliest days of psycholinguistics. Issues that are considered include: (1) How successfully do people adapt what they say to the needs of their audience when they design their phrases and sentences? (2) How do people read languages such as Chinese, which do not use an alphabetic writing system? (3) Do the size and efficiency of a person's memory affect how effectively people use language? (4) Is bilingualism cognitively advantageous, and if so, what are the mechanisms that lead to this so-called bilingual advantage? And (5) Do users of sign language gesture when they communicate? These questions and more are answered using insights from the latest research based on methods from the cognitive and neurosciences.

  Who is 'Mad'? Who is Not? And Who Decides?
  In this fascinating new exploration of mental illness, Professor Brendan Kelly examines 'madness' in history and how we have responded to it over the centuries.
  We travel from the psychiatric institutions of modern India to scientific studies of the brain in Victorian England. We discover the beginnings of formal asylum care and witness the experimental therapies of the cavernous psychiatric hospitals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland, England, Belgium, Italy, Germany and the United States.
  Covering lobotomy and the Nazis' Aktion T4 campaign, as well as Freud, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioural therapy and neuroscience, In Search of Madness examines the shift in recent times from 'psychobabble' to 'neurobabble'.
  This is an all encompassing history of one of the most basic fears to haunt the human psyche – madness – and it concludes with a passionate manifesto for change: four proposals to make mental health services more effective, accessible and just.

  The Battle of Midway: How Courage, Codebreaking, and Split-Second Decisions Turned the Tide of World War II
  
  The Japanese Navy had the upper hand with more ships, more planes, more momentum. What they didn't count on was a group of Americans who were ready to take risks.
  
  Just half a year after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan set out to wipe out the remaining U.S. forces in the Pacific. Their target was Midway, a tiny atoll they expected to take with ease. What followed was something entirely different.
  
  This book tells the true story of those four critical days in June 1942. It's a close look at the people, the decisions, and the chain of events that changed the war in the Pacific.
  
   Inside, you'll discover: 
  
  - The thinking behind Japan's expansion and where it started to unravel. 
  - What happened at the Battle of the Coral Sea, and why it mattered for Midway. 
  - The role of U.S. codebreakers and how their work shaped the outcome. 
  - A clear, step-by-step account of the battle itself from both air and sea. 
  - Key moments where things could have gone either way. 
  - Why Midway was more than just a win, it was a major blow to Japan's naval strength. 
  - How this single battle helped shift the direction of the entire war. 
  - And much, much more! 
   
  From quiet rooms where codes were cracked to the chaos of carrier decks, this is a story about timing, instinct, and what people are willing to risk when the stakes are everything.
  
  If you want to understand how World War II turned out in the Pacific, start with Midway.
