"This new text provides an engaging and stimulating introduction to the central concepts, themes and ongoing research in educational psychology today. Education Psychology clearly and concisely presents the key ideas, but equally encourages undergraduate and postgraduate psychology students to go beyond the text to read primary sources, and to develop an awareness of the controversies, complexities, and unresolved issues in a topic area. At the heart of the text is also an emphasis on developing the skills of how to read and use journal articles and how to critically evaluate sources of information." -- Publisher's information.

Hung Ying-ming
In three hundred and fifty-seven verses, the author, Hung Ying-ming, a seventeenth-century Chinese sage, explores good and evil, honesty and deception, wisdom and foolishness, heaven and hell. He draws from the wisdom of the "Three Creeds" - Taoism, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism - to impress upon us that by combining simple elegance with the ordinary, we can make our lives into art. This sense permeates Chinese and Japanese culture to this day.--From back cover.

"This qualitative study of young offenders convicted of murder and manslaughter takes on the challenge of examining the social psychological developments of young people convicted of homicide. In-depth interviews explore offenders' experiences in early childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood; their accounts of the homicides; and their life in custody. This research shows that the pathways leading young people to homicide are as varied as the types of killings perpetrated. Some were raised in social environments conducive to extreme violence where they witnessed, experienced, and were trained in the use of violence. Others found themselves frustrated and angry by their life circumstances. These experiences contributed to a lack of empathy for their victims and limited their insights into the enormity of their actions.". "This book addresses a critical gap in the literature, highlighting the importance of community-based early intervention, prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation. It is a valuable resource for students and professionals."--BOOK JACKET.
