本书探究了长期以来诗人、剧作家、哲学家，乃至医学家对亲密关系的理解和论断。由于数千年来科学家对亲密关系研究的忽视，当通俗心理学占据了关系学的主导地位时，人们对人际关系的了解和领会往往是肤浅的，甚至是错误的。然而，最近20年中，如本书所记载，这方面的研究工作发生了重大的变化。它将使我们对爱情、婚姻、承诺、友谊、激情、理解、沟通、亲密、依恋、伴侣选择、嫉妒等各个方面有一个崭新的认识。

《态度改变与社会影响》是社会心理学领域的一部经典著作，是本书第一作者津巴多教授继畅销书《心理学与生活》之后的又一力作。 本书系统地总结了心理学在态度形成和改变方面的研究理论和实践，从而帮助读者理解你是如何影响他人，反过来又是如何被他人和其他系统性力量所影响的。本书包括了社会影响的所有内容：说服，依从，从众，认知不协调和自我归因，条件反射，社会学习，态度与行为的关系，态度的卷入，偏见，非言语交流，甚至阈下影响。

一批彼此并不相识的年轻人——身心健康、情绪稳定的大学生，走进了“斯坦福监狱”。他们并没有犯罪，只是受募到“监狱”——斯坦福大学的一个精心布置的地下室，接受一项试验。大学生们被随机地分为“狱卒”和“犯人”，然后开始了为期两周的试验。然而，试验仅仅进行了一周，原本单纯的大学生，已变成了残暴的狱卒和崩溃的犯人，试验不得不终止了。受试者强烈感受到角色规范的影响，使作者得以深度剖析复杂的人性，透析“情境力量”对个人行为的影响，并分析造成监狱虐囚和种族屠杀的情境影响。日常生活中的种种社会角色剧本的规范与约束，会不会使我们像上帝最钟爱的天使路西法那样不知不觉中对他人做出难以置信的事，从而堕落成为魔鬼？我们如何抗拒情境影响力？作为心理学教授的作者也对此进行了研究，并做出了极有说服力的分析。

According to William Ury, it takes two sides to fight, but a third to stop. Distilling the lessons of two decades of experience in family struggles, labor strikes, and wars, he presents a bold new strategy for stopping fights. He also describes ten practical roles--as managers, teachers, parents, and citizens--that each of us can play every day to prevent destructive conflict. Fighting isn't an inevitable part of human nature, Ury explains, drawing on his training as an anthropologist and his work among primitive tribes and modern corporations. We have a powerful alternative-- The Third Side --which can transform our daily battles into creative conflict and cooperation at home, at work, and in the world.

In Unbowed, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai recounts her extraordinary journey from her childhood in rural Kenya to the world stage. When Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977, she began a vital poor people’s environmental movement, focused on the empowerment of women, that soon spread across Africa. Persevering through run-ins with the Kenyan government and personal losses, and jailed and beaten on numerous occasions, Maathai continued to fight tirelessly to save Kenya’s forests and to restore democracy to her beloved country . Infused with her unique luminosity of spirit, Wangari Maathai’s remarkable story of courage, faith, and the power of persistence is destined to inspire generations to come.
