Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Then the old woman said, 'Ruthie, I have a cake and some cookies baking in the oven. They may be almost done. I am getting old and feeble. It hurts me to bend over. Would you kindly open the oven door, lean in, and see if the cake and cookies are done?" Ruthie opened the oven door and stuck her head way inside while the woman stood behind her peering over her shoulder. Grandpa was so frightened that he closed his eyes and covered them with his hands. He could not bear to watch. When six-year old Ruthie, embarked on an adventure with her grandfather, she got more than she bargained for. Her grandfather, magically transformed into a six-year old, is as stodgy as an old man. Ruthie leads him into situations that seem familiar (like the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and Hansel and Gretel). But the familiar characters turn out to be much more interesting than they appear in this wonderful world where thing are not always what they seem to be. Along the way, both Ruthie and the little boy named Grandpa learn some valuable lessons about trust and prejudice.

Book excerpt: With the swift development of computer technology, network curse words are increasingly polluting the cyber-environment, leaving individuals and society with immeasurable psychological and physical loss. This study explores social and psychological mechanisms of network curse words in terms of network salutation, pragmatic identity, linguistic adaptation, primacy effect, memetics, group think, prejudice, conformity, and group emotions. It is concluded that network salutation curse words were supported by pragmatic mechanisms; primacy effect may exert great influence on network curse words; network curse words are considered as a branch of language and may be explained with memetics; group think may lead to network curse words; constructing pragmatic identities with network curse words reflects irrational social psychology and psychological conformity; prejudice is a negative psychological assessment resulting in network curse words; conformity may leave the public with loss of judgments, stimulating group emotions and influencing harmony and health of social psychology.

Book excerpt: "This book is an attempt to examine the history of psychology through autobiographies of some of the science's early theorists. The author of a recent history of psychology found that it was impossible to get important facts concerning the scientific development of certain individuals except from those individuals themselves. Since a science separated from its history lacks direction and promises a future of uncertain importance, it is a matter of consequence to those who wish to understand psychology for those individuals who have greatly influenced contemporary psychology to put into print as much of their personal histories as bears on their professional careers."
