The Psychology of Revolution
The Psychology of Revolution is a French history and social psychology book by Gustav Le Bon that features the following excerpt: A discussion of the psychology of revolution in general, religious or political, and the mental and emotional characteristics of the leaders of such movements, with special consideration of the French revolution. The examples of revolutionary movements are preferably chosen from French history, but universal history is also drawn upon, including the political upheavals in Portugal, China, and Turkey. The present age is not merely an epoch of discovery; it is also a period of revision of the various elements of knowledge. Having recognised that there are no phenomena of which the first cause is still accessible, science has resumed the examination of her ancient certitudes, and has proved their fragility. To-day she sees her ancient principles vanishing one by one. Mechanics is losing its axioms, and matter, formerly the eternal substratum of the worlds, becomes a simple aggregate of ephemeral forces in transitory condensation.

Politicians Manipulating Statistics
Highly original and insightful, Billig and Marinho's book investigates how politicians misuse official statistics. Setting this problem in its historical context - and offering vivid case studies of Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and G矇rald Darmanin - the authors demonstrate that the manipulation of statistics involves the misuse of words as well as the misuse of numbers. Most importantly, the authors show that politicians will manipulate official statisticians to produce politically convenient, but statistically inappropriate, numbers. Another unique part of the book is that the authors are not content with analysing how statistics are manipulated, but they also rigorously analyse the efforts of statistical agencies in France and Britain to combat such manipulation. The chapters herald unsung heroes who operate largely 'behind the scenes' to expose and oppose the corruption of statistics. An indispensable read for anyone concerned with the intersection of power and data.

Let's Take the crap out of psychotherapyAre you receiving effective mental health treatment? Perhaps you've been diagnosed with depression, prescribed medication, had cognitive behavioural treatments and have tools to manage your ongoing symptoms for the rest of your life. Yildiz asks, how with so much verified neuroscience research, is the mental health system still locked in a time warp of talk therapies that are largely outdated? That still don't include relevant science or current psychotherapy practices in their narrative, towards better mental health outcomes, such as recovery for many? In this book Yildiz challenges many long held myths and beliefs about depression and the diagnosis of mid-range mental illness's. She explores the role of the pharmaceutical industry in mental health policies and practice and encourages us to question a system, that still believes that we are largely incapable of change, processing disturbances and the possibility of recovery of mental illness for many.Yildiz focuses on longstanding problems of claims accompanying "psychological evidence-based research" in a 'closed shop' mentality. Where open research of current innovations in mental health treatments and philosophies, that fall outside the medical model and CBT are largely excluded.Where opportunities to possibly developing new insights into the brain, mind, consciousness and the subconscious appear to be missing. With psychotherapeutic practice and upskilling with an understanding of what goes wrong, or is missing and what may be required to reset or provide healing pathways to better mental health, are absent.Yildiz introduces several examples of current brief and effective psychotherapies for comparison, in opening the door to new possibilities. New ways of thinking, that may lead to better outcomes for world mental health. Yildiz builds her ideas on sound current brain, mind, mental illness and trauma research, to show that it doesn't have to be like this. A must read for counsellors, psychotherapists and mental health workers and for those seeking better mental health.

Operationism in Psychology
Analyzes psychological research to offer insights into how methodological and ontological questions are intertwined. Psychology has seen an intense debate about the lack of replicability of results in recent years. Uljana Feest uses history and philosophy of science to shed light on the nature of experiment in psychology in general, but her aim reaches beyond debates about replication to provide a novel and comprehensive analysis of the investigative process in experimental psychology. She shows that the central unit of analysis for our epistemological considerations of psychological research should be not theories but, rather, concepts. Her guiding question is: How do psychological concepts figure in the experimental exploration of the objects of psychological research? For Feest, this question has two intertwined aspects: What role do concepts play in the design of experiments and the production of data, and how can concepts be revised or adapted in response to experimental results. Following the historical trajectory of debates about operationism in psychology, she argues that this debate was not concerned with philosophical theories of meaning but, instead, closely connected to the investigative practices of experimental psychologists. The book offers a broad analytical framework for thinking philosophically about the investigative process in psychology, including analyses of the relationship between data and phenomena in psychology, the relationship between folk- and scientific psychological concepts, the relationship between genuine results and experimental artifacts, and the nature and exploration of psychological kinds.

The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Participatory Inquiry in Transnational Research Contexts
The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Participatory Inquiry in Transnational Research Contexts illustrates how research guided by the emancipatory epistemology of critical participatory inquiry (CPI) can support social change in transnational contexts, which are inherently laden with unequal power dynamics and colonial structures. It builds on prior volumes in participatory action research, community-based participatory research, and decolonizing methodologies.This edited volume offers cases from across the Global South and Global North and from diverse disciplines including human rights, migration, education, health, youth studies, and development to demonstrate how CPI can fulfill its democratizing and decolonizing potential. Written primarily by new and emerging scholars, practitioners, and community leaders, these cases go on to illustrate how a critical participatory approach to transnational research can enhance the strength of research processes and findings, create more equitable and just experiences for those who participate as co-researchers, and facilitate social change.Providing a valuable framework for transnational CPI and a wealth of examples, it will be an invaluable read for undergraduate and graduate students of Development Studies, Healthcare disciplines, Education, and qualitative research. It will also be of interest to researchers, professionals, community leaders, and even funders and policymakers who want to work toward greater equity and social justice in transnational research contexts.

The book is divided into two volumes, the first of which is devoted to the study of the mind and the second to the study of behavior. The book presents lucid descriptions of human mental activity, with detailed considerations of the stream of thought, consciousness, time perception, memory, imagination, emotions, reason, abnormal phenomena, and similar topics. In the first volume, James examines the nature of the mind, its structure, and its functions. He discusses topics such as the nature of consciousness, the structure of the brain, the nature of thought, and the nature of emotion. He also examines the relationship between the mind and the body, and the role of the environment in shaping behavior.

Returning Learning
Returning Learning explores early school years teachers' perceptions of nature and how this informs their pedagogy through a posthuman theoretical framework. The theoretical framework is purposefully designed to disrupt dichotomies and reject abuse to marginalised others. In doing so, this book offers a reconceptualisation of learning in environmental education, and education more broadly.The posthuman theoretical framework is a transdisciplinary offering informed by material-discursive practices, affective atmospheres, and childhoodnature. The theoretical framework and transqualitative methodology support diffractive ethnographic methods where data are generated through an iterative and entangled data collection and data analysis process. This process is presented as a series of "diffractive data entanglements" that explore teachers' perceptions of nature, their pedagogical practices, and the implications of these data through a posthuman framing. These non-conventional approaches to undertaking research are the foundation for this book that listens to teacher's voices by conducting research with teachers rather than to teachers.Through a deep exploration into the intricacies of everyday classroom practices and happenings, this book privileges the voices of the teachers and the nonhuman, thus the response-ability of teachers to their students and the planet, is re-turned. It will be of interest to researchers who are interested in creative and innovative theories and methodologies as well as those studying environmental education and other pedagogical studies as part of their courses.
