Psychology Basics
This revised title in the Magill's Choice series features 127 essays. One-third of these topics did not appear in the previous edition of Psychology Basics. The remaining two-thirds have the same or similar titles but were either newly commissioned for the revision of the larger encyclopedia or feature updated text--bringing them in line with the most recent edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM-IV-TR (2000)--and "Sources for Further Study" sections offering the latest editions and scholarship. Additions to the Revised Edition include new top matter, tailored subheadings guiding readers through the text, photographs, helpful lists of diagnostic criteria from the DSM-IV-TR, and an appendix Biographical List of PSYCHOLOGISTS with brief profiles of major figures in the field, both past and present. As a result, Psychology Basics, Revised Edition supersedes the previous Psychology Basics and should prove to be even more valuable.

After The Beginning
In a brilliant flash about fourteen billion years ago, time and matter were born in a single instant of creation. An immensely hot and dense universe began its rapid expansion everywhere, creating space where there was no space and time where there was no time. In the intense fire just after the beginning, the lightest elements were forged, later to form primordial clouds that eventually evolved into galaxies, stars, and planets. This evolution is the story told in this fascinating book. Interwoven with the storyline are short pieces on the pioneering men and women who revealed those wonders to us.

The Crisis Of Democracy.  Report on the Governability of Democracies to the Trilateral Commission
In the 1970s Samuel P.Huntington first ‘big idea' was the notion that there was a ‘crisis in democracy' which was due to a ‘democratic surge' which was making Western-style democracies ungovernable and endangering authority ‘based on hierarchy, expertise and wealth'. The patrician Huntington was disturbed by the demands for popular power and extended economic rights that had grown out of the social movements of the 1960s. His report for the Trilateral Commission rang the alarm bells about this excess of democracy.
Международное положение, которое сложилось из-за нефтяного кризиса (пятикратного увеличений странами ОПЕК цены на сырую нефть начиная с октября 1973 года), описывалось марксистами как структурный кризис капитализма, а либералами - как кризис демократии

The Bell Curve. Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life
According to The Bell Curve, Intelligence and Class Structure in AmericanLife, by Richard J. Herrnstein, Ph.D. Psychology, Harvard University,and Charles Murray, Ph.D. Political Science, M.I.T., black IQ scores areso far below white IQ scores in their distribution as to preclude usefulAffirmative Action Programs. The reason? Only 29,000 African Americans haveIQ levels above 130 points, the minimal level found suitable for many executivesin business. With 15+ million businesses in America, this leaves fewer than1 theoretically qualified African American for each 500 businesses to serveas executives; however, more than 20,000 of these 29,000 African Americansare under 21 years of age and one-half of those precious few 9,000 AfricanAmericans who are presently above 21 years of age will never earn a universityundergraduate degree. That leaves just 4,500 African Americans over 130IQ points with a university degree to share among 15+ million companies.this is why Affirmative Action has aided white women and asians in achievinghigh promotions more than it has African Americans.
