Krátky popis
An award-winning animator and cartoonist teams up with a cognitive
psychologist to introduce readers to the complex and often comedic
world of psychology. Psychology is the study of our behaviour, of
the ways our minds make sense of the world around us. It is a
serious, worthy endeavour because we value scientific knowledge,
not only for what it tells us about the world, but also for what it
reveals about our place in the world. Yet, as cartoonist Grady
Klein and psychologist Danny Oppenheimer point out, the study of
human experience is naturally comical. The book itself is split
into three sections: ",Making Sense of the World",, ",Making Sense
of Ourselves", and ",Making Sense of Others",. Observations on
perception, stress, language, emotions, cognition and more are
parcelled out among these three sections and the cartoon treatment
brings them to life. The yawn-inducing James-Lange Theory of
Emotion, for example, is explained by a gorilla and human who take
turns chasing each other. The availability heuristic is illustrated
by a man, scared whitless by sharks, meeting a much more common end
underneath a toppled vending machine. By the end, it s clear that
our experiences blundering through the world are perfect cartoon
fodder, and Klein and Oppenheimer are the perfect team to bring
that whimsy to its most logical format.
