What happens when you are alone in nature and why does it matter? By looking at exceptional experiences of solitude in nature, Eugene Hughes offers a clear articulation of the phenomenon that greatly enhances our comprehension of the human-nature relationship.Through interviews with people around the world, including land artists living in caves, wilderness rites of passage guides in the Sahara Desert, and ancestral healers in Amazonian rain forests, Hughes discovers that alone with nature, under certain conditions, people experience an embodied state of connection to their environment that has an extraordinary effect on their sense of self. Hughes names this state environmental attunement, identifies its defining characteristics, the conditions it occurs under, and what effect it has on people's sense of self provides. Including extracts from interviews and drawing on recent breakthroughs in cognitive sciences, aesthetics and psychology, he demonstrates how this unique state of consciousness stands out from other states.This is a powerful framework for interdisciplinary discourse, inspiring fresh ways for our relationship with nature to be used in treating mental health, improving contact with nature in cities, and reevaluating the quality of everyday modern life.

What if sustainable peace really starts within the human heart and mind?Psychosocial Peacebuilding places the lived experience of individuals at the center of peace efforts. This timely and engaging book offers a clear, practical, and inspiring guide to understanding and applying psychosocial approaches to peacebuilding theory and practice. It provides both a much-needed conceptual framework to understand and address the broad range of psychosocial factors that shape conflict dynamics and peacebuilding outcomes, and hands-on tools drawn from more than 25 years of global field experience. It looks at how conflict affects psychosocial realities, and how those realities, in turn, influence the trajectory of peace or violence.Dr. Katrien Hertog explores the what, why, how, and who of psychosocial peacebuilding through case studies, scientific insights, lived experiences, and practical exercises. She introduces an integrated model developed by the International Association for Human Values (IAHV) and the Art of Living as a rare example of a conceptual framework for psychosocial peacebuilding that uses evidence-based practices and is implemented with success around the globe in a variety of settings with huge multiplication possibilities. This model exemplifies intra-personal transformation as the cornerstone and foundation for peacebuilding, while at the same time addressing structural change, engaging with behavioral and relational dimensions of peacebuilding, and strengthening underlying human and peace-promoting values.Whether you're a seasoned peacebuilder, policymaker, student, or newly exploring the psychosocial dimensions of peacebuilding, this guidebook offers a new lens to make sense of complex, interwoven factors and a structured way to understand these issues as integral to the peace process. It makes the case that psychosocial dimensions are not secondary, but foundational to sustainable peace.Psychosocial Peacebuilding is poised to become a defining reference in an emerging field, offering not only a roadmap for practitioners, but a vision for a more integrated and effective approach to peace.

Ndi, Ebede, The Psychology of Pan Africanism: Between Illusion and Liberation. (Pan-African Psychologies) 242 pp. 2026:5 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-912>
ISBN 978-3-032-11816-5 hard ¥37,110.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book offers a bold re-examination of Pan-Africanism through the lens of African-centered psychology. It explores how ideology, identity, and spirituality shape the psychological foundations of Pan-African unity, questioning whether current expressions of solidarity truly advance liberation or replicate hidden forms of control. Through a synthesis of historical analysis, psychological theory, and spiritual insight, Ebede Ndi redefines Pan-Africanism as a dynamic and living praxis rooted in ancestral wisdom, cultural sovereignty, and mental emancipation. Engaging the ideas of Frantz Fanon, Wade Nobles, and Molefi Kete Asante, Ndi presents a visionary framework for a spirit-centered Pan-African future grounded in healing and empowerment. Accessible and interdisciplinary, this book speaks to scholars, students, and activists in African studies, psychology, postcolonial thought, and political science seeking to reclaim Pan-Africanism as a transformative force for global Black consciousness.

de Abreu, Marcio N., Race Beyond Vision: A Semiotic-Cultural Study of Racial Perception and Blindness. (Latin American Voices) 142 pp. 2026:1 (Springer, GW) <764-412>
ISBN 978-3-032-15317-3 hard ¥37,110.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book shows how racial perception goes beyond the limits of sight. Drawing on Semiotic Cultural Psychology, it challenges the dominant visuocentric paradigm that equates race with visually apprehended phenotypic traits. Through an in-depth case study of a congenitally blind individual, the author demonstrates that racial distinctions are not self-evident to the senses but emerge through socially mediated, symbolic, and affective processes. Integrating insights from psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and disability studies, the volume explores how race operates as a dynamic, culturally constructed sign within intersubjective relations. It critically revisits Brazilian racial classification systems, affirmative action controversies, and heteroidentification procedures, exposing the contradictions between race as a social construct and the visual essentialism embedded in current practices. The book advances a theoretical framework that reconceptualizes racial identity as a dimension of body image-biopsychosocial, historically situated, and affectively charged. Combining rigorous theoretical analysis with qualitative methodology, Race Beyond Vision: A Semiotic-Cultural Study of Racial Perception and Blindness contributes to debates on race, perception, and embodiment by revealing how blind individuals participate fully in the social construction of race. It will appeal to scholars and graduate students in cultural psychology, critical race studies, semiotics, and disability studies, as well as researchers interested in epistemology and qualitative inquiry.

At the crossroads of theater, art, and psychology, Lev Vygotsky's compelling theory of aesthetics helped shape the intellectual currents of Russian Modernism. This new book combines our understanding of Vygotsky's scientific and artistic legacies, bridging the divide between human consciousness and the transformative power of art.The Aesthetics of Lev Vygotsky: A Sociocultural Approach to Theater introduces the concept of Vygotsky's aesthetics, offering an unprecedented exploration of Lev Vygotsky's early writings on art, literature, and theater. Long overshadowed by his later work in psychology, these formative texts reveal a compelling theory of art's psychological function, shaped by the artistic and intellectual currents of Russian Modernism. By rereading Vygotsky's aesthetic writings in dialogue with this context and with his mature psychological theories, this book challenges the divide often drawn between his scientific and artistic legacies, illustrating how Vygotsky's thinking oscillates fluidly between disciplines, bridging the study of human consciousness with the transformative power of art. Through this interdisciplinary lens, Vygotsky's aesthetics emerges as a distinct and timely framework; one that speaks not only to scholars of theater and psychology, but to anyone interested in how art helps us understand what it means to be human.

The Fractured Subject investigates the relationship of the work of Walter Benjamin and Sigmund Freud, centered around the concept of the fractured subject. Through a reading of Benjamin's work on sovereignty and myth, Betty Schulz establishes the emergence of this fractured subject in the Baroque and links these themes to 'Mourning and Melancholia' and two of Freud's case studies, showing that melancholia and possession emerge as two responses to the baroque loss of a cosmological horizon. Turning to Benjamin's work on the nineteenth century in the Arcades Project, Schulz delineates the persistence of this fractured subject, showing how Benjamin conceptualises its development over the course of modernity while analyzing the change of memory and experience in modernity. Finally, having introduced the importance of the dream in the Arcades Project and associated work, Schulz examines Benjamin's dream theory, establishing the ways it draws from Freud, as well as Benjamin's concept of awakening as a therapeutic, collective, political gesture that points beyond the fractured subject.

Edwards, Darren J., The Observer-Centric Universe, Quantum Mechanics and the Path to AGI Alignment. (Palgrave Pivot) 376 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-1409>
ISBN 978-3-032-15627-3 hard ¥37,110.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book explores the profound challenge of artificial general intelligence (AGI) alignment, arguing that an algorithmic approach to creating conscious and empathic AI is fundamentally limited. Building on the author's N-Frame model, it extends this critique to the P ? NP problem, proposing that consciousness reflects a non-computable process beyond formal algorithmic closure. Drawing on philosophy, cognitive science, physics, mathematics, and evolutionary theory, the book introduces a quantum-mechanical AdS/CFT-inspired framework linking thermodynamic models of the observer with functional contextualism and evolution. It argues that solving AGI alignment requires recognising the intrinsic boundary between computation and cognition. The book concludes by exploring how truly conscious AI could promote prosocial behaviour, morality, empathy, and trust, fostering social cohesion and redefining intelligence and consciousness itself.

Hermans, Hubert, Unprepared For Death: The Psychological Richness Of Mortality. 136 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-1411>
ISBN 978-3-032-15191-9 hard ¥26,506.- (税込) EUR 99.99

The book offers a profound insight into the reasons why a great many people feel disconnected from the concept of death and, as a remedy, offers a series of pathways to reconcile them. As an inner abyss, the prospect of death reflects our deepest anxieties about the end of our life, its inevitability, and the mystery that surrounds it. However, this awareness also holds a contradictory promise: by accepting this shadow and exploring it, we might find a greater appreciation for life and a clearer vision of our true priorities. Central to personal development is the awareness that life and death are not mutually exclusive but inclusive states of mind. Death is an intrinsic feature of life. As this book will explore: at the interface of the two, we find a fertile ground for the emergence of psychological richness.

The Paradox of Passion: How Rewards Covertly Control Motivation challenges conventional wisdom about motivation. It reveals why legacy research findings are often misinterpreted and overgeneralized, leading to unrealistic beliefs about the self and others that foster ineffective strategy use impeding optimal learning and performance.The book provides cross-disciplinary evidence emphasizing the essential role of rewards as a biological and behavioral driver of motivation. It challenges the cliched idea of intrinsic motivation, pointing out the flaws in pursuing passion and purpose without considering how the brain regulates motivation through personalized rewards. Evidence reveals that a singular focus on passion is an unattainable ideal, akin to a mythical "motivation unicorn." Instead of hopes and dreams, the book offers practical insights and research-based strategies for enhancing learning and performance by effectively leveraging how the brain uses innate reward pathways to get what we want and sometimes obtain what we need.

Polyakov, Sergey Ernestovich, Objective Mental Reality: The 'Dark Matter' of the Social Sciences: The Psychological and Specialized Parts of Objective Mental Reality. 241 pp. 2026:3 (Springer, GW) <764-1418>
ISBN 978-3-032-15213-8 hard ¥39,761.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This book explores the concept of Objective Mental Reality (OMR)-a fundamental, intersubjectively formed symbolic layer of consciousness. In Part I, it delves into foundational psychological constructions such as the soul, mind, consciousness, and intelligence, as well as the nuanced roles of personality, beliefs, and cultural codes. These entities are examined not only as subjective experiences but as components of a shared mental reality that can be studied objectively. The section further investigates the processes through which the entities of the psyche are constituted and reveals their role in shaping OMR. Parts II and III address specialized domains of OMR - including religious faith, mathematics, art, and media - as well as OMR's relationship to time, language, and artificial intelligence. The book proposes a new scientific paradigm in which the anthropomorphic world is understood as a product of collective mental creativity constituted within the OMR of society. Through and by means of OMR, humanity comprehends the universe and becomes aware of its own nature, while the psyche transforms from a passive mirror of being into its active co-creator.

This book examines the contribution of shared book reading to various aspects of children's social-emotional development across a broad range of environments and with different reading agents, including home (parents), educational settings (teachers), and clinics (bibliotherapists). It demonstrates how shared book reading creates a safe and nurturing environment in which children can express themselves and learn about social relationships by discussing the characters' intentions, feelings, thoughts, desires, beliefs, and actions. The book explores the ways in which adults engage with young children in interactive reading, fostering aspects of social-emotional competence, including emotional knowledge, empathy, self-awareness, prosocial behavior, morality, values, and effective communication skills. This volume explores shared book reading interventions aiming to promote social-emotional competence from toddlerhood to childhood. It addresses shared book reading with at-risk children from different socio-economic backgrounds. The book concludes with recommendations for how parents and preschool teachers can promote social-emotional competence through shared-book reading. Key areas of coverage include: Emotion and mental-state discourse during shared book reading: How parents, teachers, and children talk about emotions, thoughts, and social situations while reading together, and why shared reading is a uniquely rich context for mental-state dialogue.Cultural and contextual differences in shared-reading interactions: Cross-cultural patterns in emotion discourse, parental practices, and adult-child meaning-making across diverse sociocultural settings.Story features that shape emotion discourse: How elements such as human vs. animal protagonists, narrative structure, and story themes influence emotion talk and social-emotional understanding.Shared book-reading interventions at home and in educational settings: Evidence-based programs that strengthen children's empathy, emotional competence, and prosocial behavior through guided reading practices.Shared reading and children's social-emotional development: Correlational and meta-analytic findings linking shared book reading with gains in emotion understanding, empathy, prosocial conduct, and broader socio-emotional skills. Shared Book Reading and Children's Social-Emotional Competence is an essential resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as educators, bibiotherapists, and other practitioners in developmental, clinical child, and school psychology, social psychology, educational psychology, educational policy and practice, clinical social work, public health, and all related disciplines.

The nature of an emergency is complex; after all, emergencies "emerge" suddenly without warning and typically require immediate attention. Bystanders are often the first line of defense in these situations. Unfortunately, in many situations where help is needed such as health-related emergencies, bullying, sexual misconduct, and bias, the default is to not get involved. The goal of this book is to identify the many obstacles that prevent people from taking action, and then provide evidence-based helping strategies to transform passive bystanders into pro-active responders.This timely and significant book, Be a Better Bystander: Transforming Passive Observers Into Active Responders, provides a toolbox of practical strategies for academic institutions, residence life personnel, diversity/education/inclusion educators, public health education advocates, and community activists. This book would also make a great supplemental text for courses in social psychology, health psychology, women's studies, and bias-related courses.

Shameful Sciences documents varied forms of problematic biased theorizing influencing early Western and American psychology. The book brings to light ideologies promoted by key U.S. psychology leaders, specifically those grounded in social Darwinism and eugenics. The book also traces the influence of eugenics in creation of American psychology epistemological/disciplinary practices, including the comparisons of humans to caged animals, extensive testing of "fitness," focus on moral and behavioral control of human beings, and on exclusive focus on "positive" emotions.
