Evolutionary Psychology gives a clear understanding of
how current psychological knowledge of human behavior and
experience draws from a variety of perspectives. It
provides the student the basics necessary to see how the
environment and the turning on and off of genes can
influence humans and the cultures in which they live. It
also shows a glimpse of human abilities not seen in other
species. The book emphasizes developmental processes and
family relationships, sexual and social relationships, as
well as emotionality and language. The book concludes by
applying an evolutionary understanding approach to
examine the areas of health and disease, psychopathology,
and culture.

384 HEA 137594
In this book, author examines the political history of
telecommunications from the mid-nineteenth century to the
end of World War II. He argues that this technology gave
society new options. In times of peace, the telegraph and
radio were, as many predicted, instruments of peace, in
times of tension, they became instruments of politics,
tools for rival interests, and weapons of war. Writing in
a lively, accessible style, author illuminates the
political aspects of information technology, showing how
in both World Wars, the use of radio led to a shadowy war
of disinformation, cryptography, and communications
intelligence, with decisive consequences.
