Ponderables: 100 Discoveries that Changed History, Who Did What When

by Tom Jackson, Том Джексон

Зигмунд Фрейд и Карл Юнг разработали методы лечения психических заболеваний. Жан Пиаже показал, как развивается мышление ребенка, а Лоуренс Кольберг выявил, как он учится воспринимать, где грань между правильным и неправильным. Курт Левин понял, как среда, в который пребывает человек, оказывает воздействие на его личность и поведение. Эрик Эриксон считал, что существуют стадии развития личности, на каждой из которых человек усваивает определенную добродетель. Филипп Зимбардо выяснил опытным путем, что добрые люди способны совершать злые поступки.

О важнейших открытиях, теориях и новых методах исследования нашего разума вы узнаете из этой книги.

About the author

"I'm a non-fiction author and project editor (plus I do a bit of journalism). I'm available for project development, writing, project management and I also work as a packager. Click on the links above to see examples of my work.

But first some background: Over the last 20 years, I've written books, magazine and newspaper articles, for online and for television. I get to write about a wide range of subjects, everything from axolotls to zoroastrianism. However, my specialties are natural history, technology and all things scientific. I've worked on projects with Brian May, Patrick Moore, Marcus de Sautoy and Carol Vorderman and for major international publishers, such as Dorling Kindersley, National Geographic, Scholastic, Hachette, Facts on File and BBC Magazines.

I spend my days finding fun ways of communicating all kinds of facts, new and old, to every age group and reading ability. I live in Bristol, England, with my wife and three children. I studied zoology at Bristol University and have had spells working at the zoos in Jersey and Surrey. I used to be something of a conservationist, which included planting trees in Somerset, surveying Vietnamese jungle and rescuing buffaloes from drought-ridden Zimbabwe. Writing jobs have also taken me to the Galápagos Islands, the Amazon rainforest, the coral reefs of Indonesia and the Sahara Desert. Nowadays, I can be found mainly in the attic."

Reviews

[Alicia · Rating 4 out of 5]

A look back and forward in the world of psychology with the development of sciences surround psychology and the people, places, and events that had an impact be it Pavlov and Freud to phrenology and the hierarchy of needs. Each numbered discovery is usually about a page and includes charts, images, or pictures of the people that were connected to the specific discovery sometimes referencing one of the others.

It's easily digestible and endlessly fascinating.

I also didn't know there was a series of illustrated histories and will likely check out some of the other ones.

[Pierre Jacomet · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a good intro and roadmap to psychology. For me, it gives me a glimpse into the history of psychology throughout history and snippets of different authors. The snippets are enough to spark my curiosity and embark on specific quests of knowledge about one psychologist or psychology or era. So, it serves perfectly the purpose of giving me an introduction.

It is also great coffee table book because it has lots of illustrations and you can jump into any page and find something interesting. The book also includes a foldout timeline which graphically depicts many important psychology evolutionary milestones through history.
