Still More Psychology in Plain English is the third book in the Psychology in Plain English series. Like the first two volumes of the series, it is an accessible, somewhat folksy book describing principles of psychology and how they relate to real life. Dr. Richards uses anecdotes, personal examples, wicked humor, and explanations honed through 40 years of teaching almost 1000 psychology classes to covers some of his most popular classroom topics. Topics of this volume include social psychology, genetics, the law and psychology, aging, sexual interests, and memory.

Have you ever found yourself mindlessly scrolling your timeline? Have you ever wondered why we spend so much time glued to our phones and the many social media apps that take up our time? Have you ever wondered about the dangers of social media and the importance of understanding what’s coming across our screens? Mirage focuses on positively impacting your mental health, while analyzing the culture of social media, the daily experiences we have on social media, and breaking down how those experiences impact the way we think, feel, and behave.

Do you ever feel that visiting social media is an increasingly negative experience? Social media taps into some of our most profound human weaknesses and makes it almost impossible to live without the temptation of comparing yourself to others, seeking their approval, or arguing with each other. Screen with Envy: How Social Media Culture Is Weakening Our Sense of Belonging and Making Us Lonelier discusses the antisocial ways we're behaving towards each other online and why we need to do better at rediscovering close connections offline instead.

We take the seven-day week for granted, rarely asking what anchors it or what it does to us. Yet weeks are not dictated by the natural order. They are, in fact, an artificial construction of the modern world. With meticulous archival research that draws on a wide array of sources - including newspapers, restaurant menus, theater schedules, marriage records, school curricula, folklore, housekeeping guides, courtroom testimony, and diaries - David Henkin reveals how our current devotion to weekly rhythms emerged in the United States during the first half of the 19th century.
