  "The Behavior of Crowds: A Psychological Study" is a book written by Everett Dean Martin. The aim of the book is to explain the psychological processes that underlie the behavior of crowds. Martin contends that a loss of uniqueness and a blending of identities into a single entity are characteristics of crowds. A strong emotional contagion is produced by this blending, and it has the potential to cause illogical conduct. Crowds, according to Martin, are also open to suggestion, especially from charismatic leaders or other persons who are able to tap into the crowd's emotions and control them. Martin names a number of elements—such as anonymity, suggestibility, mimicry, and emotional contagion—that might affect how people behave in large groups. Along with the possibility for crowds to act violently or destructively, he also emphasizes the importance of leaders in crowd behavior. In general, Martin's work offers insightful information on the psychology of crowds and the variables that might affect their behavior. The work remains relevant today and has been referenced by numerous academics and researchers in the area of psychology and social psychology.

  Mike Perry’s extraordinary and thoughtful account of meeting the people of his small hometown by joining the fire and rescue team was a breakout hit that “swells with unadorned heroism” (USA Today) 
  Welcome to New Auburn, Wisconsin (population: 485) where the local vigilante is a farmer’s wife armed with a pistol and a Bible, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives (both of whom work at the only gas station in town), and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers. Michael Perry loves this place. He grew up here, and now-after a decade away-he has returned. 
  Unable to polka or repair his own pickup, his farm-boy hands gone soft after years of writing, Mike figures the best way to regain his credibility is to join the volunteer fire department. Against a backdrop of fires and tangled wrecks, bar fights and smelt feeds, he tells a frequently comic tale leavened with moments of heartbreaking delicacy and searing tragedy.  
  Tracing his calls on a map in the little firehouse, he sees “a dense, benevolent web, spun one frantic zigzag at a time” from which the story of a tiny town emerges.

  Goin' Back to the 1960sis a memoir of a happy and eventful life of a young man during the 1960s where 'growing up' changed his outlook on life from a care-free innocent boy to an outright teenage cynic.
  Brian's story begins when Brian's parents decide to move from an inner-city life in the East End of London to the leafy Berkshire countryside. This move changed his life completely for the better and together with a band of characterful friends he enjoyed all the freedoms the countryside had to offer. Life was certainly good, full of long summer days, fishing and many exciting adventures that would often get him into trouble.
  These stories are full of the love and passion he had for angling, for sport, and especially for pop music recalling many of his favourite records of the time. Interspersed with hilarious anecdotes, as well as poignant family moments. He shares his views on the great historical events of the 60s headlining the news at the time. These stories provide the reader with a nostalgic journey through the 1960s and describes everything wonderful about growing up at that time. A funny, warm and light-hearted read.
