- 9780711298842
What's the difference between your id and your ego? Or a narcissist and a hedonist? In 150 paired definitions, this wide-ranging psychology primer resolves any confusion.
The What's the Difference? series offers a brand-new approach to popular reference by examining concepts in pairs to help clarify common (and not-so-common) confusions. Exploring two definitions at the same time cuts to the heart of a topic quickly and clearly so you can avoid those all-too-frequent conceptual slip-ups.
You might be familiar with some of the weird and wonderful topics of psychology but wish you fully understood the difference between concepts like conscious and unconscious, or stress and burnout. Written by clinical psychologist and psychology professor Dr. Fiona Starr, What's the Difference? Psychology offers clarity through:
Snappy explanations of all the big-ticket psychology topics
A review of key figures in psychology
An easy-to-grasp format that introduces terms in conceptual pairs
An accessible dip-in, dip-out design
Read the book as a whole or choose concepts that spark your interest. As you go, you will enrich and deepen your understanding of why we think, feel and behave in the ways we do. So, if you want to know the difference between nature and nurture, schizophrenia and psychosis, the mind and the brain, then read on. -

Naturally Odd Marvel at nature's peculiar creations. Witness Rene-Lavasseur, a circular island formed by a meteor impact, and Chars of Assam, river islands that shift with the silt.

Each chapter is a voyage into islands of wonder and mystery, offering a unique perspective on our planet's most intriguing and lesser-known corners. Whether it's an exploration of ambitious human endeavors or natural marvels, this book is a visual and narrative feast for the curious traveller. -
Thomas Mistler has always thought himself "a happy man, as the world goes." A scion of old money, he made his own fortune in advertising and is now poised to sell the company he founded for a fabulous price. But when a medical examination reveals the presence in his liver of a fatal intruder, "preposterously, unmistakably, he begins to rejoice," with a feeling of having been set free. But free from what?He will seek the answer surreptitiously, without revealing his illness to his family, during a last reprieve, a moment of grace in "the one place on earth where nothing irritates him." But amidst the surreal beauties of Venice, he finds bitterness and chaos as he allows himself to drift for the first time. His halfhearted efforts to seize the day and its present pleasuresfirst with a striving young photographer and later with a love of his youth who never loved himcannot compete with his need to commune with the living and the dead that crowd his life: his father and uncle, pillars of the Establishment, sources of the "genetic puritanism" he has never tried to resist; his son, Sam, whose love he has only barely salvaged; his wife, once perfectly "beautiful and suitable," now humiliated by him and halfscorned. And the one woman who embodies everything he might have wished for, a woman he "never had and never lost."Deeply poignant yet mordantly funny, Mistler's Exit brilliantly discloses the pleasures and miseries of having it all. A masterly revelation f the complexities of the heart.From the Hardcover edition.
