Narragansett Bay

By: Richard V. Simpson

Rhode Island, the Ocean State, consists of only 1,200 square miles, and one-quarter of the state is tidewater. With over 350 miles of coastline, a third of the citizens live within a mile of the seashore. The Narragansett Bay, spanning 102 square miles, is the heart of the state. From the early 19th to the mid-20th century, the shell and finfish industries flourished within the bay. Amusement parks and seaside dining halls sprang up on both sides. Beaches catered to Victorian ladies and gentlemen who took in the air but never wet their feet. The nations security has also played a major role in these waters. Through more than 200 stunning images, readers will see how Rhode Islanders found their fortune and character on the Narragansett Bay.

Modernist America

Art, Music, Movies, and the Globalization of American Culture

By: Richard Pells

America's global cultural impact is largely seen as one-sided, with critics claiming that it has undermined other countries' languages and traditions. But contrary to popular belief, the cultural relationship between the United States and the world has been reciprocal, says Richard Pells. The United States not only plays a large role in shaping international entertainment and tastes, it is also a consumer of foreign intellectual and artistic influences.Pells reveals how the American artists, novelists, composers, jazz musicians, and filmmakers who were part of the Modernist movement were greatly influenced by outside ideas and techniques. People across the globe found familiarities in American entertainment, resulting in a universal culture that has dominated the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and fulfilled the aim of the Modernist movement--to make the modern world seem more intelligible."Modernist America" brilliantly explains why George Gershwin's music, Cole Porter's lyrics, Jackson Pollock's paintings, Bob Fosse's choreography, Marlon Brando's acting, and Orson Welles's storytelling were so influential, and why these and other artists and entertainers simultaneously represent both an American and a modern global culture.

Mindware

By: Richard Nisbett

Hayatımda beni en çok etkileyen düşünür, psikolog Richard Nisbett'tir. Dünya görüşümü ondan aldım." -Malcolm Gladwell, The New York Times Book Review "Kötü haber, dünya hakkındaki sezgisel düşünme yöntemlerimiz yanlış. İyi haber ise, doğrusunu bulmak zor değil. Bu konular hakkında hiç kimse psikolog Richard Nisbett kadar donanımlı değildir. Hayatını insan aklının yetersizliklerini anlamaya ve bunları düzeltmeye adamıştır. Bu kitap tüm üniversitelerde zorunlu ders olarak okutulmalı." -Daniel Gilbert, Mutluluk Üzerine Çeşitlemeler kitabının yazarı "Daha iyi düşünmek, daha iyi kararlar almak ve daha mutlu olmak isteyenler, dünyanın en saygın sosyal psikologlarından Richard Nisbett'in bu muhteşem kitabını okumalılar. Diğer bir deyişle, herkes bu kitabı okumalı, ne kadar erken o kadar iyi!" -Timothy Wilson, Redirect: Changing the Storiews We Live By kitabının yazarı "Mindware sizi daha iyi bir düşünür, yatırımcı, ebeveyn, tüketici ve lider yapacak. Her sayfasında şaşıracak ve zevk alacaksınız. Her ülke matematik eğitimine bir iki yıl ara verip vatandaşlarına bu kitabı okutmalı." -Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion kitabının yazarı "Yirminci ve yirmi birinci yüzyılın tüm psikoloji araştırmaları bu harika kitapta damıtılmış. Bu kitapla hayatınız hakkında daha iyi kararlar almak için dev bir adım atacaksınız." -Carol Dweck, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success kitabının yazarı
