  Psychology - A Very Short...

  Psychology is part of everyone's experience: it influences the way we think about everything from education and intelligence, to relationships and emotions, advertising and criminality. People readily behave as amateur psychologists, offering explanations for what people think, feel, and do. But what exactly are psychologists trying to do? What scientific grounding do they have for their approach? This Very Short Introduction explores some of psychology's leading ideas and their practical relevance.In this new edition, Gillian Butler and Freda McManus explore a variety of new topics and ways of studying the brain. Until recently it was not possible to study the living human brain directly, so psychologists studied our behavior, and used their observations to derive hypotheses about what was going on inside. Now—through neuroscience—our knowledge of the workings of the brain has increased and improved technology provides us with a scientific basis on which to understand the structure and workings of the brain, allowing brain activity to be observed and measured. Exploring some of the most important advances and developments in psychology—from evolutionary psychology and issues surrounding adolescence and aggression to cognitive psychology—this is a stimulating introduction for anyone interested in understanding the human mind.

  Islamic Golden Age - A History...

  The Islamic Golden Age, a period marked by extraordinary cultural, economic, and scientific prosperity, spanned roughly from the 8th to the 14th century. This era is often considered to have begun during the reign of the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid (786–809), particularly with the establishment of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. At this time, Baghdad was the world's largest city, serving as the epicenter of intellectual activity. The House of Wisdom became a hub for scholars and polymaths from a diverse range of backgrounds who were tasked with gathering, translating, and preserving the classical knowledge of the ancient world. Key works from Greek, Syriac, Middle Persian, and Sanskrit texts were translated into Arabic and Syriac, with some later making their way into Latin and Hebrew. This immense intellectual undertaking played a significant role in preserving and expanding upon the knowledge that would later form the foundation of the Renaissance in Europe. 
  The decline of the Abbasid caliphate, culminating in the Mongol invasions and the Siege of Baghdad in 1258, is commonly regarded as marking the end of this flourishing period. However, the exact timeline of the Golden Age’s conclusion is debated among scholars. Some place the end around 1350, coinciding with the Timurid Renaissance, while others extend it until the 15th or even the 16th century, linking it with the rise of the Islamic Gunpowder Empires. 
  One of the driving forces behind the Islamic Golden Age was the emphasis placed on learning within Islamic teachings. The Quran and Hadiths, which contain numerous references to the pursuit of knowledge, were fundamental in motivating Muslims during this period to engage in scientific, philosophical, and literary endeavors.

  A Pedagogy of Kindness

  Academia is not, by and large, a kind place. Individualism and competition are what count. But without kindness at its core, Catherine Denial suggests, higher education fails students and instructors—and its mission—in critical ways. 
   
   
   
  Part manifesto, part teaching memoir, part how-to guide, A Pedagogy of Kindness urges higher education to get aggressive about instituting kindness, which Denial distinguishes from niceness. Having suffered beneath the weight of just "getting along," instructors need to shift every part of what they do to prioritizing care and compassion—for students as well as for themselves. 
   
   
   
  A Pedagogy of Kindness articulates a fresh vision for teaching, one that focuses on ensuring justice, believing people, and believing in people. Offering evidence-based insights and drawing from her own rich experiences as a professor, Denial offers practical tips for reshaping syllabi, assessing student performance, and creating trust and belonging in the classroom. Her suggestions for concrete, scalable actions  outline nothing less than a transformational discipline—one in which, together, we create bright new spaces, rooted in compassion, in which all engaged in teaching and learning might thrive.
