    Abstract: In Software for the Self, Anthony Smith casts a wide net over society and culture, describing the effects of the "information revolution" on humankind now and suggesting what will happen in the future. Smith traces the development of entertainment describing how in the past it was something mostly outside the home but, beginning with radio and then television broadcasting, entertainment has gradually taken over the home and, indeed, transformed its organization. Moreover, mass forms of communications like radio, television and cinema are themselves currently giving way to more personal forms of communications like the Internet. Smith sees entertainment moving off in two opposite directions: towards the "big spectacular communal experience" like Disney World on the one hand, and, on the other, towards solitary interaction on a computer. He believes it quite possible that a new generation will look no further than their computers for information and entertainment
    Abstract: Smith sees entertainment itself becoming more central to culture and society because people will have increasingly more leisure time. Although hightech advances have been made in the world of information exchange, science, commerce, industry, and defense. Smith believes entertainment is crucial to the forms that new technology will take and the uses to which they will be put. As Smith pointedly says, "the entertainment industry, alongside the health industry, is as close as any other to the things that people actually want and are willing to pay for.

    Abstract: Despite the recognized importance of cultural diversity in understanding the modern world, the emerging science of cognitive psychology has relied far more on experimental psychology, neurobiology, and computer science than on cultural anthropology for its models of how we think. In new book, anthropologist Bradd Shore has created the first study linking multiculturalism to cognitive psychology, exploring the complex relationship between cultural expressions in public institutions and in mental representations. In so doing, he answers in a completely new way the age-old question of whether humans are basically the same psychologically, independent of cultures, or essentially different
    Abstract: The author argues that culture must be considered an intrinsic component of the human mind to a degree that most psychologists and even many anthropologists have not recognized. This new position of cultural models will make absorbing reading for psychologists, anthropologists, linguists, and philosophers, and for anyone interested in the issues of cultural diversity, multiculturalism, or cognitive science in general

    Abstract: Written by a well-known ecologist with more than forty years of scientific field work on six continents, this book deals with the ecology of planet earth, focusing on the condition of the global environment and the quality of human life. The author describes the scope and meaning of global ecology and gives a brief review of ecological principles relevant to global concerns. The work concentrates on how we as humans affect global ecosystems and how these changes impact our health, behavior, economics, and politics. Specific sections address the ecological components of planet earth, the biosphere, ecosystem ecology, worldwide environmental trends, and the state of human populations. Other chapters deal with competition and conflict, the ecology of war, an agenda for survival, sustainability, and future prospects. Accessible to undergraduates, students in adult and professional education, and general readers, this unique work gives a broader definition of our environment than conventional ecology books, emphasizing economic and social dimensions of the global environment. It covers diverse viewpoints, including good news and favorable trends regarding the future, and helps readers think about current ecological problems and those we will face in the future. It discusses how to relate facts and beliefs, how to assess outcomes, and finally, how we might view and treat the one world in which we live.
