Hardback. Condición: Good. How reliable is our intuition? How much should we depend on gut-level instinct rather than rational analysis when we play the stock market, choose a mate, hire an employee, or assess our own abilities? In this discussion, David Myers shows us that while intuition can provide us with useful, and often amazing, insights, it can also dangerously mislead us. Drawing on psychological research, Myers discusses the powers and perils of intuition when: judges and jurors determine who is telling the truth; mental health workers predict whether someone is at risk for suicide or crime; coaches, players and fans decide who has the hot hand or the hot bat; personnel directors hire new employees; and psychics claim to be clairvoyant or to have premonitions.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Same-sex marriage continues to be a hot-button issue, especially for people of faith. In What God Has Joined Together, two leading Evangelical Christian social psychologists examine the social, scientific and biblical dimensions of an issue that continues to capture headlines and ignite people's passions on both sides. By advocating marriage for all, What God Has Joined Together affirms the conservative call for marriage renewal and a more marriage-supporting culture. It also supports the liberal affirmation of everyone's right, regardless of sexual orientation, to seal love with commitment and to fully participate in the life of the church. David G. Myers, the John Dirk Werkman Professor of Psychology at Michigan's Hope College, is author of fifteen books, as well as articles in some fifty journals and magazines. His four trade books include The Pursuit of Happiness (Morrow/Avon) and The American Paradox: Spiritual Hunger in an Age of Plenty (Yale). He is a member of the Templeton Foundation and on the Advisory Board of the National Marriage Project.Letha Dawson Scanzoni has authored and coauthored eight books, including Men, Women and Change: A Sociology of Marriage and Family, and Is the Homosexual My Neighbor? She is the editor and publisher of the Ecumenical Women's Caucus publication, EEWC Update. Scanzoni is the mother of two and grandmother of five. She lives in Southeastern Virginia."David Myers & Letha Scanzoni have written a sensible book that argues what should be obvious: namely that supporting committed marriage for homosexuals does not undermine but strengthens marriage for everyone."- Dr. Rosemary Radford Ruether, Pacific School of Religion.…
