Sinossi

Education in Prisons explores the transformative potential of education within correctional facilities, arguing it's a key to rehabilitation and reduced recidivism. The book analyzes how prison education programs, ranging from GED preparation to vocational training, equip incarcerated individuals with essential cognitive and social skills needed for successful reentry. A core insight is that investing in education can drastically reduce repeat offenses, improving public safety and fostering economic growth.

 
The book examines the historical context of prison education, its evolution, and the diverse range of educational programs currently available. It presents empirical evidence, including statistical data and case studies, to demonstrate the effectiveness of these programs on recidivism rates and employment outcomes. By drawing on criminology, sociology, and economics, Education in Prisons offers a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

 
Structured to provide a thorough overview, the book begins with the history of prison education, explores program types, assesses their effectiveness, and concludes with policy recommendations. This approach highlights the importance of viewing prison education not just as a supplementary program but as a fundamental component of effective correctional strategies and criminal justice reform.

    Do you want to learn how to appeal to people, be happier, healthier, and free? How to Make People Do What You Want will get you started on that wonderful path. 
    Modern life distracts us from what's really important, causing us to forget who we really are. 
    None of us were born with fears, depression, or nervousness. Something in our lives along the line pushes us into a downward spiral, careening into problems left and right. The solutions to these problems may be staring us straight in the face, but unless we try, we'll never figure it out and reach our full potential. For some, dealing with people can be very stressful, but it doesn't have to be! 
    The hangups and baggage that weigh us down need to be set aside, we need to become free. Many kind, caring, and intelligent people repel potential friends, employers, and even future spouses because they're not socially perceptive, they don't understand how to attract friends, and they don't understand what impression their words, actions, and behaviors may give to others. 
    This skill is vital to learn because not one of us is an island, we can try to live by ourselves, but we make life so much more rich, easy, joyous, simple, and relaxed when we work together with friends to reach a common goal. 
    Life doesn't have to be so difficult, the repetitive, boring, stressful, and unpleasant life you probably live is not a necessity—it's up to you, it's your choice. Choose wisely. Doing and learning new things will inherently require us to make changes, big changes, and this will feel uncomfortable. Our "comfort zones" lock us into a cage, a self-made prison that limits us and keeps us away from the unknown. Adventure and pure joy start when we step out of our comfort zones, we embrace the great unknown, and we follow our deepest dreams. 
    You won't want to do this alone.

    How did our brains change over the course of evolution, and what did it mean for our ancestors? Why do we behave the way we do today? Evolutionary psychology is the only framework that allows us to fully understand the nuances of humans' motivations, emotions, cognitions, and behaviors. Our bodies have evolved over time, and so too have our brains. How we respond to situations emotionally, our thoughts, our motivations, and our behaviors have a deep heritage based on the successes of our ancestors in meeting their survival or reproductive needs.In this Very Short Introduction, Maryanne L. Fisher and T. Joel Wade unfold the intriguing idea that our brain, like every other body part, has been shaped over time by natural and sexual selection. Fisher and Wade consider the contexts in which our ancestors thrived and explore how people today think and act using an evolutionary compass. This research-oriented exploration addresses diverse topics, organized into chapters on the principles underlying this approach, survival issues, group alliances, aggression, family dynamics, and mating strategies. It touches on a broad array of topics like fears, disgust, attraction, sibling conflict, friendship, and homicide.

    Vulnerability Protected: Visions of a Dancing Mind invites readers to reconsider what it truly means to be vulnerable—and why it matters now more than ever. Vulnerability, writes Carol Smaldino, is not a soft cliché but a profound state of openness that touches every part of our being. It is rarely smooth or easy. On the contrary, genuine vulnerability depends on a sense of safety, both physical and emotional, and becomes a gateway to repair and reconnection when we inevitably falter. 
    In this new work, Smaldino explores how vulnerability is a central ingredient in empathy—for ourselves, for each other, and even for the natural world. When we allow ourselves to feel deeply into our own experience, we become more able to extend that same depth of understanding outward, bridging the gaps that so often divide us. 
    Against the backdrop of a world marked by polarization and fracture, Vulnerability Protected argues that humanizing ourselves and one another is an urgent task. What we fear or disown in ourselves, Smaldino notes, we are prone to hate, degrade, or project onto others. 
    Vulnerability Protected offers a path toward making vulnerability authentic, grounded, and transformative—something that can be protected rather than exploited, honored rather than shamed.  
    Carol Smaldino, LCSW, is a psychotherapist with forty years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. Her work focuses on the deeper and often hidden parts of the psyche, including the “shadow” emotions we tend to reject or bury. Known for her combination of quick wit, sustained curiosity, and a serious, compassionate approach, she has long been committed to integrating the personal and the political in her writing and speaking.
