  How do we perceive the world around us? What drives us? Why is it important to understand our minds and motivations, along with those of others? 
  The last century has witnessed incredible strides in answering questions like these. Now, this course offers you an invigorating introduction to the field of psychology. In 21 audio lectures, award-winning psychologist Professor Lawrence Wichlinski explores a sweeping arc of psychological phenomena, prompting you to adopt different perspectives along the way. 
  You will begin with a tour of the brain—examining its physical structures and cognitive functions. From there, you will learn about different subjects that fall under the umbrella of “motivated behaviors.” That is, sleep, food, and sex. 
  The field of social psychology could be a course unto itself. As you put humans’ social behavior under the microscope, you will hit upon curious correlations to your earlier discussions of emotion, visual perception, learning, memory, and intelligence. 
  The last part of the course take up the area of psychology that you’re probably the most familiar with from the media: clinical. You will study an array of mental disorders including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse. 
  By way of conclusion, Prof. Wichlinski highlights practical applications from the field of psychology. From the basics of behavioral research to the intricacies of relationships, this course equips you with a deeper understanding of human thought and behavior.

  The Case Against Perfection

  Breakthroughs in genetics present us with a promise and a predicament. The promise is that we will soon be able to treat and prevent a host of debilitating diseases. The predicament is that our newfound genetic knowledge may enable us to manipulate our nature?to enhance our genetic traits and those of our children. Although most people find at least some forms of genetic engineering disquieting, it is not easy to articulate why. The Case Against Perfection explores these and other moral quandaries connected with the quest to perfect ourselves and our children. Michael Sandel argues that the pursuit of perfection is flawed for reasons that go beyond safety and fairness. The drive to enhance human nature through genetic technologies is objectionable because it represents a bid for mastery and dominion that fails to appreciate the gifted character of human powers and achievements. Carrying us beyond familiar terms of political discourse, this book contends that the genetic revolution will change the way philosophers discuss ethics and will force spiritual questions back onto the political agenda. In order to grapple with the ethics of enhancement, we need to confront questions largely lost from view in the modern world. Since these questions verge on theology, modern philosophers and political theorists tend to shrink from them. But our new powers of biotechnology make these questions unavoidable.

  The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop is a call to create healthy, sustainable, and empowering classroom communities. Award-winning educator Felicia Rose Chavez exposes the invisible politics of power and privilege that have silenced writers of color for far too long. It's more urgent than ever that we consciously work against traditions of dominance in the classroom, but what specific actions can we take to achieve authentically inclusive communities? Together, we will address how to:● Deconstruct our biases to achieve a cultural shift in perspective.● Design a democratic teaching model to create safe spaces for creative concentration.● Recruit, nourish, and fortify students of color to best empower them to exercise voice.● Embolden our students to self-advocate as responsible citizens in a globalized community.Finally, a teaching model that protects and platforms students of color, because every writer deserves access to a public voice. For anyone looking to liberate their thinking from "the way it's always been done," The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop is a clear, compelling guidebook on a necessary step forward.

PREVIEW: Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers: The Story of Success argues that success is not solely the result of merit and hard work. Rather, Gladwell says extremely successful people are successful because they were in the right place at the right time, or because they received crucial help. In order to understand success, it is important to look not at the characteristics of the individual, but at the social and cultural factors that enable success. Sports are often seen as a uniquely meritocratic endeavor. People believe that the most physically talented athletes are the most successful. However, this is not true. In fact, in Canada, children whose bir
