Sublime landscapes, tranquil urban scenes, frolicking children; who would associate these images with Palestine? Designed by Annelys de Vet, with the help of Palestinian artists, photographers and designers, this unconventional Atlas charts through maps, drawings and photographs individual life experiences as seen through the eyes of the contributors. The Atlas in turn provides a sometimes humorous, colourful and entirely different perspective on a nation and its peoples in occupied territory.

This book offers a concise survey of basic probability theory from a thoroughly subjective point of view whereby probability theory is a mode of judgement. Written by one of the greatest figures in the field of probability theory, the book is both a summation and a synthesis of a lifetime of wrestling with such problems and issues.Book DescriptionThis book offers a concise survey of basic probability theory from a thoroughly subjective point of view whereby probability is a mode of judgment.

The question of what constitutes the good life has been pondered for millennia. Yet only in the last decades has the study of well-being become a scientific endeavor. This book is based on the idea that we can empirically study quality of life and make cross-society comparisons of subjective well-being (SWB). A potential problem in studying SWB across societies is that of cultural relativism: if societies have different values, the members of those societies will use different criteria in evaluating the success of their society. By examining, however, such aspects of SWB as whether people beli

This book emphasizes the evolving rather than homeostatic aspects of human behavior. Beginning with theories of complexity and self-generation of behavior, Inghilleri emphasizes the central role of psychic functioning in the domain of biological and cultural evolution. Psychic processes, considered determined, autonomous, and generative with respect to the processes of biological and cultural evolution, are viewed in relation to greater processes of complexity and autonomy of organization. This volume also considers the Theory of Self-Determination, developed by Deci and Ryan, and the Theory o
