Democracy in Dialogue, Dialogue in Democracy
It is widely accepted that the machinery of multicultural societies and liberal democratic systems is dependent upon various forms of dialogue - dialogue between political parties, between different social groups, between the ruling and the ruled. But what are the conditions of a democratic dialogue and how does the philosophical dialogic approach apply to practice? Recently, facing challenges from mass protest movements across the globe, liberal democracy has found itself in urgent need of a solution to the problem of translating mass activity into dialogue, as well as that of designing borders of dialogue. Exploring the multifaceted nature of the concepts of dialogue and democracy, and critically examining materializations of dialogue in social life, this book offers a variety of perspectives on the theoretical and empirical interface between democracy and dialogue. Bringing together the latest work from scholars across Europe, Democracy in Dialogue, Dialogue in Democracy offers fresh theorizations of the role of dialogue in democratic thought and practice and will appeal to scholars of sociology, political science and social and political theory.

100 Effective Techniques of Social Influence provides a revolutionary look into the effectiveness of many techniques of social influence, providing an overview of the ways in which people use techniques to persuade others to meet various requests, suggestions, and commands.

Wszystko w porządku. Układamy sobie życie
"Hołownia i Prokop są przyjaciółmi, ale żyją na dwóch różnych planetach. Tym razem postanowili nieco na nich posprzątać, posegregować odkurzone graty i podzielić się ze światem tym, co odkryli. W 76 pudełkach zamykają więc wszystko, co ich bawi, przeraża, zachwyca i wkurza. Kilogramy anegdot, tony bardzo osobistych wspomnień, dziesiątki ciekawostek. Hołownia, przeglądając pudła Prokopa, łapał się za głowę z przerażenia. Prokop nie mógł uwierzyć, że Hołownia naprawdę lubi to, do czego się tu przyznaje, że lubi. Tylko tutaj można znaleźć fragmenty nigdy niewydanej powieści Hołowni czy kultową dyskografię, bez której Prokop nie byłby Prokopem. Jed...
Mind Shift
Does any other animal experience the richness of our inner lives-our ability to imagine, to hope, to dream, to create imaginary worlds? John Parrington answers no, and considers how we came to be so different, even from our nearest primate relatives. In this book, he argues that a 'mind shift' occurred during our evolution, in which tool use and especially the invention of language transformed our brains, which not only became larger, but subtly altered in their structure and function, making them more 'plastic' and open to external influences. Words could be used for inner dialogue too, leading to the emergence of a sense of self, of conscious awareness, as a product of brain biology and social interaction. An outpouring of art, music, literature, science, and technology has been the result-but also suffering, delusions, and despair when this symphonic brain activity goes wrong. Parrington considers the evidence for this language- and culture-driven view of human consciousness, and its implications for our mental health. Book jacket.
Techniques of Social Influence
Every day we are asked to fulfil others’ requests, and we make regular requests of others too, seeking compliance with our desires, commands and suggestions. This accessible text provides a uniquely in-depth overview of the different social influence techniques people use in order to improve the chances of their requests being fulfilled. It both describes each of the techniques in question and explores the research behind them, considering questions such as: How do we know that they work? Under what conditions are they more or less likely to be effective? How might individuals successfully resist attempts by others to influence them? The book groups social influence techniques according to...
The 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend"
This book demythologises one of the top Waffen-SS units during the Second World War, the Hitlerjugend Division. In addition to bringing together new research in European historiography, it also represents an innovative scientific approach using social psychology. It provides insights into inner psychological mechanisms that facilitated moral disengagement and culminated in the division’s unparalleled combat motivation and war crimes. Best known for their alleged fanaticism, Nazi indoctrination and inclination to perpetrate atrocities, Hitlerjugend soldiers are analysed here using perspectives drawn from across sociology, anthropology and psychology.
