There's None So Blind As He Who Will Not See
FACTS of life that are deliberately hidden from us; that's what this book's about! Dangerous realities that, because they have been both politically and subliminally concealed for so long, have burgeoned into a real threat to humanity! Sensationalist waffle? Meanderings of a Prophet of Doom? Well, just consider this; Is it not an accepted actuality that the world's population is DOUBLING every few decades; that our mineral resources are becoming more difficult and costly to obtain; or life-essential water's being drained from rivers, lakes and aquifers to keep crops watered, untold complications from climate-change and disappearing rainforests with multiple side-effects; also, those undernou...

Analyzing the Causes of War
This volume is a collection of some of the most influential essays by Jack Levy on the causes of interstate war. These studies focus on the role of power in the international system, the domestic sources of security policy and war, and the psychology of decision-making. Among the themes uniting all of these studies is that there are patterns in the processes leading to interstate wars, that these patterns are complex, and that an understanding of war requires rigorous theory and that a key prerequisite of theory is conceptual clarity. The focus is on theoretical essays on war and on decision-making in security policy. These essays involve the critique and reconceptualization of major theorie...
Peanuts
In the left field stands of Comiskey Park, on July 21 1955, Jack Levy came to a striking realization. It was a blisteringly hot day, 100 degrees plus. The Yankees were in town to play his beloved White Sox. He was 16 years old and a new vendor at Comiskey. And being a rookie, he was assigned peanuts, 300 bags to a load! Peanuts don't sell on hot days. Cold drinks do.His dream of being assigned Coke and making serious money that day was shattered. Dejected and angry, thinking of quitting, and actually risking being fired on the spot, an idea blossomed that would change his life.That idea eventually contributed heavily to his success in the advertising business and as a private investor. This book is about that discovery. Told through a collection of entertaining stories, you'll learn how a poor kid from the South Side of Chicago persevered, and made it very big.This is a story of success, the rags -to-riches kind, the type that showcases the entrepreneur's indomitable spirit, and in the process, makes us feel that we, too, can achieve our goals and our dreams.

War in the Modern Great Power System
The apparently accelerating arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union and the precarious political conditions existing in many parts of the world have given rise to new anxiety about the possibility of military confrontation between the superpowers. Despite the fateful nature of the risk, we have little knowledge, as Jack S. Levy has pointed out, "of the conditions, processes, and events which might combine to generate such a calamity." No empirically confirmed theory of the causes of war exists, and the hypotheses -- often contradictory -- that have been proposed remain untested. As a step toward the formulation of a theory of the causes of war that can be tested against hist...
Do You Know What You Look Like?
Much of the work in this book has originated from an international project called "Education for Teachers". Educational researchers from Holland, USA, Australia and Israel look at an important element of teacher behaviour - that is the interpersonal actions which create and maintain a positive classroom atmosphere. The book uses systems theory and family therapy to analyze what happens in classrooms, looking at classes as "big families". It provides a simple way to collect feedback from participants in communication in education (students, teachers, principles, student-teacher supervisors). Thus for example, differences between students' perceptions and the teachers self-perception of the teacher communication style are are formed. This feedback can be used to improve teaching. The book reviews research on communication styles of teachers in secondary education with the help of the questionnaire on teacher interaction and includes implications for teacher programs.
The Oxford Handbook of Political Psychology
Political psychology applies what is known about human psychology to the study of politics. It examines how people reach political decisions on topics such as voting, party identification, and political attitudes as well as how leaders mediate political conflicts and make foreign policy decisions. In this updated third edition of The Oxford Handbook of Political Psychology, Leonie Huddy, David O. Sears, Jack S. Levy, and Jennifer Jerit have gathered together an international group of distinguished scholars to provide an up-to-date account of key topics and areas of research in the field. Chapter authors draw on theory and research on biopsychology, neuroscience, personality, psychopathology,...
