第一本徹底破解人類利他行為背後成因的研究寶典 ◉《美國科學家》、《自然》等權威科學雜誌及《華爾街日報》推薦選書 《國家地理雜誌》封面阿富汗少女的綠色雙眼，以及希臘海灘上三歲敘利亞男童的照片如此震撼人心，可是為什麼大多時候，我們卻對世界各地的戰爭苦難視而不見？ 又是什麼原因，令人們不顧自身安危──衝入火場、躍入水中抑或是跳下軌道──去拯救毫無關係的陌生人？人類的利他行為，是出自於一顆英雄之心？良好教育下行善舉止？還是其實來自於動物的「本能」呢？ 在《利他衝動》一書中，作者史蒂芬妮‧普雷斯頓博士融合了心理學、神經科學、神經物理學，和環境生物學等廣泛領域的跨學科研究，提出了突破性的利他反應模型，探討人類如何發展出幫助弱者的強大動力，同時也解釋了當旁觀者越多，越無人伸出援手的「旁觀者效應」，以及二者之間的各種行為。寫作風格引人入勝，更體現了作者對眾生的同情心和科學嚴謹性。 如果你曾為人類自私基因感到灰心，不妨深入了解人類行為的背後成因。 人類刻意不去看食用動物的宰殺過程，以避開所食食物為生命個體的意識連結，其實便是避免觸發同情心的信號。 同理心並非無法測量的情感，在本書中是實實在在的科學。了解本身就是力量，為了幫助更多的人，我們從了解人類行為出發。只要知道是什麼引發它們、什麼抑制它們，我們或許可以更有效地應用，拓展到善行推廣，並且幫助到真正需要的人。 了解利他衝動，幫助你我思考： ◎ 幫助別人只是為了讓自我感覺良好？ ◎ 旁觀者冷漠是天性？ ◎ 男生比女生更容易幸災樂禍？ ◎ 為什麼問題越大，我們就越不想幫忙？ ◎ 連對自己的感受都會判斷錯誤了，我們有幫到真正需要幫助的人嗎？ 誠摯推薦 侯喬騰│人類行為科學專家 蔡宇哲│哇賽心理學創辦人兼總編輯 謝伯讓│台大心理系教授 （依首字筆畫排列） 各界好評 「2022 年最愛的書」精選。 「年度最發人深省、最實用、最鼓舞人心的科學書籍之一」。—— 《Greater Good》雜誌和科學中心 史蒂芬妮‧普雷斯頓比其他人更了解人類和動物的同理心。她令人大開眼界的好書解開了「利他衝動之謎」。——法蘭斯．德瓦爾（Frans de Waal），《不同：靈長類動物學家眼中的性別》一書作者 我們是一個複雜的物種……有時令人痛苦的自私，但也有值得稱讚的付出。普雷斯頓女士的書解釋了我們雙重性格中非凡而溫暖的一面。「利他衝動」應該受到重視。——華爾街日報 一部創新、突破性的作品。以引人入勝的風格撰寫，具有科學嚴謹性和創造力。普雷斯頓對眾生的慈悲之心熠熠生輝。 ——Carolyn Zahn-Waxler，威斯康辛大學心理學系和健康心智中心榮譽研究員 普雷斯頓提出了一個有趣且有據可查的人類利他行為理論。 ——《美國科學家》 《利他衝動》是任何對人類行為進化感興趣的人的必讀之作。史蒂芬妮‧普雷斯頓用嶄新的想法、令人信服的事實和引人入勝的寫作解釋了極端「利他反應」背後的科學原理。——達里歐 梅斯崔皮耶里（Dario Maestripieri），芝加哥大學，《馬基雅維利智力》和《人類還在玩猿猴把戲？》作者

This much-needed guide provides the specific skills and materials necessary to facilitate effective dialogues across identity differences. We are living through arguably one of the most divisive times in our country and the world. People do not know how to communicate across differences in a way that advances the public good—from the international halls of power to local city governments to classrooms to family dinners. The consequences are devastating—from hate-fueled conflicts and mass shootings to teachers who do not know how to address problematic comments in the classroom. This book responds to the urgent need to address complicated, intense, and oftentimes personal differences in a productive way. Written for both novice and experienced facilitators, it offers concrete materials to use in classrooms and other settings, along with anecdotes, vignettes, and hard-earned lessons based on the authors’ own experiences. By capturing conversations among leaders in the field and emergent practitioners, Facilitating Transformational Dialogues emanates optimistic energy and time-tested wisdom from the fields of Intergroup Relations and Intergroup Dialogue.

This autotheoretical Element, written in the tense space between feminist and trans theory, argues that movement between 'woman' and 'nonbinary' is possible, affectively and politically. In fact, a nonbinary structure of feeling has been central in the history of feminist thought, such as in Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex (1949). This structure of feeling is not antifeminist but indexical of a desire for a form of embodiment and relationality beyond binary sex and gender. Finally, the Element provides a partial defense of nonbinary gender identity by tracing the development of the term in online spaces of the early 2000s. While it might be tempting to read its development as symptomatic of the forms of selfhood reproduced in (neo)liberal, racialized platform capitalism, this reading is too simplistic because it misses how the term emerged within communities of care.

A Transdiagnostic Approach to Develop Organization, Attention and Learning Skills introduces the GOALS program — an innovative and skill-based approach that addresses the unique array of academic, occupational, and socio-emotional difficulties commonly faced by college students with underdeveloped executive functions. This program consists of ten sessions delivered in a group format to help college students improve their academic performance. Over the course of these sessions, participants learn strategies to prioritize tasks and assignments; schedule and manage life responsibilities; cope with life stressors; identify relevant on-campus resources; prepare for upcoming exams; take well-structured notes; maintain motivation; and several other strategies designed to reach their academic goals. Each session builds on earlier sessions, so previously learned skills lay the foundation for the successful implementation of newly learned skills. This practical and easy-to-implement program includes detailed session notes for group leaders and reproducible handouts for participants including in-session activities, session summaries, and homework assignments. This treatment manual is an essential resource for mental health providers who deliver interventions to students enrolled in post-secondary institutions pursuing undergraduate or graduate level degrees.

There are key elements of our lives that we feel we need to survive and maintain a life we desire. Whether that is a relationship, a position, financial status, or a set of possessions, we can sometimes put those things before God. God's jealousy is a form of protection from our dependency on false idols. Our desire to reach goals that would make our lives more enjoyable is never wrong, but obsessing over our goals may cause us to make poor choices that harm ourselves and those around us. Obsessions may also cause us to make decisions that do not align with God's will. They also indicate to God that we are not content with him in the relationship, but need those other "things" in order to live a "good" life. Anything we place before God has the potential to become an idol. Purpose, profession, partnerships (relationships), power, popularity, and prosperity possess the power to persuade us to depend solely on them for survival and success. Anything we place before God can cause him to become jealous. If you have ever experienced jealousy, you know things can get a bit ugly? and the last person anyone wants to see jealous is God. While the love of Jesus has saved us from the sting of death and afforded us through confession and belief in his salvation that we will have eternal life, God still desires that we keep him first and that all we hope for will be added to us. This devotional will identify different aspects of idolatry and share biblical stories that will help you to compare them against current situations you are experiencing, have experienced, or witnessed.

Ordinary people can perform acts of astonishing selflessness, sometimes even putting their lives on the line. A pregnant woman saw a dorsal fin and blood in the water—and dove right in to pull her wounded husband to safety. Remarkably, some even leap into action to save complete strangers: one New York man jumped onto the subway tracks to rescue a boy who had fallen into the path of an oncoming train. Such behavior is not uniquely human. Researchers have found that mother rodents are highly motivated to bring newborn pups—not just their own—back to safety. What do these stories have in common, and what do they reveal about the instinct to protect others? In The Altruistic Urge, Stephanie D. Preston explores how and why we developed a surprisingly powerful drive to help the vulnerable. She argues that the neural and psychological mechanisms that evolved to safeguard offspring also motivate people to save strangers in need of immediate aid. Eye-catching dramatic rescues bear a striking similarity to how other mammals retrieve their young and help explain more mundane forms of support like donating money. Merging extensive interdisciplinary research that spans psychology, neuroscience, neurobiology, and evolutionary biology, Preston develops a groundbreaking model of altruistic responses. Her theory accounts for extraordinary feats of bravery, all-too-common apathy, and everything in between—and it can also be deployed to craft more effective appeals to assist those in need.

Surrealism Beyond Borders challenges conventional narratives of a revolutionary artistic, literary, and philosophical movement. Tracing Surrealism's influence and legacy from the 1920s to the late 1970s in places as geographically diverse as Colombia, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, Romania, Syria, Thailand, and Turkey, this publication includes more than 300 works of art in a variety of media by well-known figures—including Dalí, Ernst, Kahlo, Magritte, and Miró—as well as numerous artists who are less widely known. Contributions from more than forty distinguished international scholars explore the network of Surrealist exchange and collaboration, artists' responses to the challenges of social and political unrest, and the experience of displacement and exile in the twentieth century. The multiple narratives addressed in this expansive book move beyond the borders of history, geography, and nationality to provocatively redraw the map of Surrealism.

Between 1942 and 1945, the U.S. government wrongfully imprisoned thousands of Japanese American citizens and profited from their labor. Japanese American Incarceration recasts the forced removal and incarceration of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II as a history of prison labor and exploitation. Following Franklin Roosevelt's 1942 Executive Order 9066, which called for the exclusion of potentially dangerous groups from military zones along the West Coast, the federal government placed Japanese Americans in makeshift prisons throughout the country. In addition to working on day-to-day operations of the camps, Japanese Americans were coerced into harvesting crops, digging irrigation ditches, paving roads, and building barracks for little to no compensation and often at the behest of privately run businesses—all in the name of national security. How did the U.S. government use incarceration to address labor demands during World War II, and how did imprisoned Japanese Americans respond to the stripping of not only their civil rights, but their labor rights as well? Using a variety of archives and collected oral histories, Japanese American Incarceration uncovers the startling answers to these questions. Stephanie Hinnershitz's timely study connects the government's exploitation of imprisoned Japanese Americans to the history of prison labor in the United States.

You are what GOD says you are. This 31-day devotional will help those facing hardship, uncertainty, and pain to place their faith in God. We all suffer hardship, but we are never alone. We have a friend that sticks closer than a brother and who is able to help in our greatest time of need. Includes a section on strategic prayer that is filled with scripture and serves as a template for customized prayer.

Seasons change and bring the unexpected. In a short time, our lives can be forever changed. Whether we are a victim of circumstance or experience personal consequence is really to no effect because regardless of cause, the season has changed. We can either choose to embrace what is and forge forward the best way we know how or remain stuck in a place that wallows in the darkness of it all. It is our choice. Today, we choose to make the best of our situation and trust God, our Father and his heavenly plan. We choose to rely on the blood of Jesus Christ, and the comfort of the Holy Spirit to guide us and protect us as we take this journey through uncharted land.

Every person is issued the same amount of faith, are we using it? Do we truly believe that God is faithful? If so, we can move any mountain that stands in our way. Abundance comes from faith and wisdom. Wisdom is the application of knowledge. When we believe, know and do - abundance is on the way.

In our weakest moments, when our back is against the wall and we've lost all hope, our God loves to prove Himself mighty and strong. Let go and let God... DELIVERANCE is on the way.

A 31-Day Devotional on Divine Leadership. Nothing is bigger than our God! Divine Leaders are birthed in obedience. The yoke that troubles our leadership style, purpose-driven pursuits, and daily goals will fall away when we allow God to lead us every day and in every way.

When we develop the Audacity to Trust God and all of His promises, we can ask for big things and experience God's deliverance. Our road to triumph is lined with chipped and bruised bricks of faith. One brick at a time, day-by-day, we develop a faith that becomes unbreakable. We begin to understand that we don't have to climb the corporate ladder or hold seven college degrees? All we need is faith. When we believe God, we trust him no matter the circumstance and we dream big. The words of our mouth begin to align with the purpose and destiny God created us for. Our walk begins to follow a path uncharted and at first glance, seems impossible. We begin to bless the world around us and leave a mark that is undeniable and immeasurable. We influence the next generation and extend the mantle of abundant grace and love for the world in which we live. We develop endurance and faith that will last forever.

Thomas Kincaid had it all...A promising career, material wealth, and a gorgeous girlfriend he imagined would one day become his wife. But Thomas's insatiable appetite and bad habits proved to lead to a fatal end. The deceitful and evil web of lies Thomas concocted transformed the lives of those closest to him - his neighbors, family, and friends. If they were going to survive they would have to lean on the Lord, work together, and face some difficult truths along the way.

Throughout life many have endured challenges. Many of those challenges and obstacles have been hard to overcome. At times you may feel as if you will never get out or over this situation. There is a process to being an overcomer. Keep in mind no matter how hard you were hit or how low you have fallen you can Rise Above It All. WILL THE OVERCOMERS PLEASE RISE!

A feminist approach to the Anthropocene that recovers the relevance of sensation and phenomenology. Earthly Encounters develops a fuller account of the lived experience of racialized gender formation as it exists on this planet, earth. It analyzes sensations: the chill of winter, the warm embrace of the wind, the feeling of being immersed in water, and a stifling sense of containment. Through this analysis in settler colonial and colonial contexts, in twentieth-century North America and Africa, Stephanie D. Clare shows how sensation is unevenly distributed within social worlds and productive of racial, national, and gendered subjectivities. From revealing the relevance of phenomenology, especially in the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Frantz Fanon, to debates concerning new materialism and affect theory, Clare shows how the phenomenology of race and gender must consider both the production of the body-subject and the environment. She concludes by making a case for the continued significance of sensation in the context of the Anthropocene. “This book charts a course that is simultaneously materialist and attentive to the politics of representation. It aims to hold on to the legacy of feminist theory and to develop a queer political strategy that on the one hand gives an account of the earth as an active, living organism and, on the other hand, holds on to the critique of the politics of representation.”— Astrid Deuber-Mankowsky, Ruhr-Universität Bochum

Bringing together feminist theory, girlhood studies, and curriculum theory, this book contributes an in-depth critical analysis of curriculum in single-gender schooling for girls in postfeminist landscapes of "unlimited choices" and resurgences of proper girlhood. The arguments challenge the mainstream assumptions and promotions about the guarantees of female success via small school supports, tailored curricula, protection, school choice and class advantage. Single-gender schools are not homogenous; they have different histories, student populations, finances and organization. Recognizing this diversity, Girls, Single-sex Schools, and Postfeminist Fantasies draws on rich data collected in two US secondary schools over a two-year period to identify and explore the ambiguities of success in single-sex schools for girls. Rich classroom observations and interviews with teachers and students reveal the resounding message delivered to girls - that they can "have it all" by going to college. By exploring students' imaginings, hopes, and doubts around college, the text illustrates how this catalyzes girls' critiques of their futures and of the schooled storylines of female success. While teachers might trumpet college, career, and limitless horizons, girls seek to understand their social positions and try to make sense of family, passions, and future happiness. This book will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, academics, researchers, libraries in secondary education, girlhood studies, sociology of education, gender and sexuality in education, single-sex schooling, and feminist theory.
