E.M. Forster: The Novels
This practical approach to E.M. Forster's novels shows how coherent criticism evolves from close reading of short extracts. Mike Edwards discusses four of Forster's most commonly-studied works: A Room with a View; Howards End; A Passage to India and The Longest Journey. The major part of the book is devoted to sample analysis', with detailed guidance and suggestions for follow-up work. There is additional material on Forster's life and work and an introduction to critical treatments of his novels.

Peace on Bougainville
This is a unique look at the country of Bougainville, its people, their history, and their move toward peace told from the perspectives of the people involved both within and outside of the process. The book traces the peace movement from November 20, 1997, when unarmed monitors from New Zealand, Australia, Vanuatu, and Fiji arrived in Bougainville with the agreement of the Papua New Guinea government and most of the political factions on Bougainville. Their task was to establish a secure atmosphere in which Bougainvilleans could forge their own peaceful solution to the conflict. The individual viewpoints show how the fragile road toward a peaceful outcome was constructed.
World Cinema, Theology, and the Human
World Cinema, Theology, and the Human builds an engaging intertextual dialogue between nine acclaimed films of world cinema and a range of theological perspectives that touch on the theme of human experience. This book engages with the power of film to trigger hermeneutical impulses and theological conversation stemming from resonant humanity unfolding onscreen. However, it is film as art, not theology as normative text, which lays down a bridge to the possibility of critical dialogue. In this approach, film is emancipated from a theological agenda, and as an art form, given space to speak on its own terms in dialogue with theology.
Visual Perception
This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in vision. In Part I, the treatment of visual physiology has been extensively revised with an updated account of retinal processing, a new section explaining the principles of spatial and temporal filtering which underlie discussions in later chapters, and an up-to-date account of the primate visual pathway. Part II contains four largely new chapters which cover recent psychophysical evidence and computational model of early vision: edge detection, perceptual grouping, depth perception, and motion perception. The models discussed are extensively integrated with physiological evidence. All other chapters in Parts II, III, and IV have also been thoroughly updated.
Psychology
This text provides a detailed account of psychology. Most topics are dealt with in terms of theory, evidence, and evaluation. The book features key research studies, case studies, research activities, and personal reflections.

De taalhacker
Gabriel Wyner moest voor zijn werk als operazanger perfect Italiaans, Frans, Russisch en Duits leren. Gefrustreerd door de traditionele lesmethoden, en gefascineerd door taalwetenschap en de werking van het brein, ontwikkelde hij een betere manier om talen te leren. De taalhacker is eigenwijs, superpraktisch en een genot om te lezen. In plaats van een strenge leraar is Wyner een doelgerichte hacker die je uitnodigt om met hem mee te doen. Hij maakt gebruik van shortcuts en tegendraadse inzichten en spoort je aan om een taal bij de lurven te grijpen. Maar bovenal maakt hij van talen leren weer het spannende en meeslepende avontuur dat het altijd al hoorde te zijn.
