A History of East Asia: From the Origins of Civilization to the Twenty-First Century
by Charles HolcombeCharles Holcombe begins by asking the question 'what is East Asia?' In the modern age, many of the features that made the region - now defined as including China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam - distinct have been submerged by the effects of revolution, politics or globalization. Yet, as an ancient civilization, the region had both an historical and cultural coherence. This shared past is at the heart of this ambitious book, which traces the story of East Asia from the dawn of history to the twenty-first century. The second edition has been imaginatively revised and expanded to place emphasis on cross-cultural interactions and connections, both within East Asia and beyond, with new material on Vietnam and modern pop culture. The second edition also features a Chinese character list, additional maps and new illustrations.

A History of Modern Psychology
by Duane P. Schultz Sydney Ellen SchultzThe focus of this book is the history of modern psychology, the period beginning in the late nineteenth century, when psychology became a separate and independent discipline. Although, the authors briefly review earlier philosophical thought, they concentrate on issues directly related to the establishment of psychology as a new and distinct field of study. The purpose is to present a history of modern psychology, not the centuries of philosophical work that preceded it. Although the chapters are organized in terms of the schools of thought, these systems resulted from the work of individual scholars, researchers, organizers, and promoters. With the hindsight of history, the authors trace the pattern and the continuity of the development of modern psychology.
