Moralistics and Psychomoralistics
This book brings together three distinct research programmes in moral psychology – Moral Foundations Theory, Cognitive Adaptations for Social Exchange, and the Linguistic Analogy in Moral Psychology – and shows that they can be combined to create a unified cognitive science of moral intuition. The book assumes evolution has furnished the human mind with two types of judgement: intuitive and deliberative. Focusing on moral intuitions (understood as moral judgments that were not arrived at via a process of conscious deliberation), the book explores the origins of these intuitions, examines how they are produced, and explains why the moral intuitions of different humans differ. Providing a unique synthesis of three separate established fields, this book presents a new research program that will further our understanding of the various different intuitive moral judgements at the heart of some of the moral tensions within human society.

Of Moments and Days
These poems are about time and memory. Many of them focus on the particular moments of experience that our memories are able to capture and preserve, a process of considerable mystery. In this, his first full-length collection, Graham Wood considers some of the mysteries involved in time and memory. He does this obliquely, in a glancing way, rather than directly. Many of the poems are like snapshots or small movies, often suffused with a quirky humour. Others are more serious in tone and reach, but always retain a lightness of touch.

Tycho's Nova
Tycho's Nova is at once a story, a journey, and a moving collection of words and photographic images. It was originally conceived as both a script for a feature film and an idea for a photographic book and has ultimately become a modern fairytale of simplicity and beauty. Tycho's Nova interleaves a fictional narrative concerning four people and their mutual experiences and is documented in photographs and words by author, Graham Wood, as he travels through Scandinavia in winter, en route to the arctic circle. The photos were all taken in black and white on slide film with a Lomo camera and then cross-processed. Text is read across the spread, rather than across the page and leads the reader through the photographs so that one complements and enriches the other In layout and typography Tycho's Nova is simply brilliant.
Detective Lauriant Investigates

The obvious suspect is the Count's son, but Lauriant senses deeper, political motives...
The Way of the Strangers
A radical rethinking of what ISIS is and what it really wants From Graeme Wood, author of the explosive Atlantic cover story "What ISIS Really Wants," comes the definitive book on the history, psychology, character, and aims of the Islamic State. Based on Wood's unprecedented access to supporters, recruiters, and high-ranking members of the most infamous jihadist group in the world, The Way of the Strangers is a riveting, fast-paced deep dive into the apocalyptic dogma that informs the group's worldview, from the ideas that motivate it, to the "fatwa factory" that produces its laws, to its very specific plans for the future. By accepting that ISIS truly believes the end is nigh, we can understand its strategy-and predict what it will do next.
