Abnormal Psychology combines an emphasis on the excitement of research with an examination of the evolutionary perspective as a way to integrate biological and psychological explanations for abnormal psychology. Raulin uses three key themes to make psychopathology come alive for students: Excitement of Research--Because scientific research has consistently produced the most significant breakthroughs in understanding psychopathology, Abnormal Psychology presents information that has the strongest scientific background, rather than that which has the widest play in popular markets. Research is presented throughout the text--and highlighted in Examining the Evidence sections--to give students a feel for the research process and to help them appreciate the excitement of scientific discovery. Theoretical Perspectives--Raulin covers those theoretical perspectives that have had the greatest impact on our understanding of the disorders or have produced effective treatments. In addition, he includes a perspective normally left out of abnormal psychology texts - the cognitive neuroscience perspective.Evolutionary Impact-- Abnormal Psychology is the first text in the field to thoroughly examine the evolutionary perspective in addition to the other prominent theoretical perspectives used to explain abnormal behavior. The text shows how evolutionary theory has shaped modern psychology--both positively and negatively. Read more

How is it that we can recognize photos from our high school yearbook decades later, but cannot remember what we ate for breakfast yesterday? And why are we inclined to buy more cans of soup if the sign says "LIMIT 12 PER CUSTOMER" rather than "LIMIT 4 PER CUSTOMER?" In Kluge, Gary Marcus argues convincingly that our minds are not as elegantly designed as we may believe. The imperfections result from a haphazard evolutionary process that often proceeds by piling new systems on top of old ones—and those systems don’t always work well together. The end product is a "kluge," a clumsy, cobbled-together contraption. Taking us on a tour of the essential areas of human experience—memory, belief, decision making, language, and happiness—Marcus unveils a fundamentally new way of looking at the evolution of the human mind and simultaneously sheds light on some of the most mysterious aspects of human nature.

This Land Was Theirs: A Study of Native North Americans, Ninth Edition, examines the traditional and contemporary lifeways of twelve North American Indian tribes. Ranging from the Netsilik hunters who straddle the Arctic Circle to the Natchez farmers of the lower Mississippi River area, the tribes represent each culture area and various levels of socioeconomic complexity among Native Americans. After introductory chapters devoted to pan-tribal issues, each chapter focuses on a specific group and culture area, providing students with a detailed portrait of the geographical and cultural adaptations of that region.
As he has done for previous editions, author Wendell H. Oswalt has visited virtually all of the extant groups discussed in the text in order to ensure an accurate record of the present-day situation.
Features of the Ninth Edition
*Each chapter on an extant tribal group now includes a table with a timeline summarizing the group's ethnohistory
*Includes an expanded section on the original peopling of the Americas
*Emphasizes the major issues band and tribal governments in North America face today
*Addresses the increasingly important diamond mining industry in Canada and the Subarctic
*Includes more than 150 illustrations and chapter-opening native poems or songs
*Offers expanded coverage of the Navajo, the transcontinental railroad's impact on Indian life, and contemporary issues encountered on reservations
Provides pedagogical aids including maps of each region discussed, a glossary, a pronunciation guide, and two appendices: a guide to artifacts and a list of additional resources for further study Read more
