When it comes to our beloved “good ol’ hockey game”, humour abounds in Canada. The Hockey Joke Book shows you just how funny the sport, its teams, and its toothless players can be.

Canadian sport is the brunt of many jokes, but Canucks take the jabs in stride and still find the humour in what’s laughable from the ice to the water to the field and the court.

When British soldiers began settling in early Canada, their sporting traditions blended with a Mi’kmaq game to create a new sport that evolved into hockey. A History of Hockey in Canada traces hockey’s roots from those first steps on the frozen ponds of eastern Canada to the modern game we know and love.

Non una storia del fascismo e del nazismo, bensì un bilancio puntuale dei tratti che li apparentarono, e delle singolarità rispettive. Grande attenzione è data anche al parallelo sul governo dell'economia, incluse l'agricoltura, l'autarchia e la mobilitazione economica; al rapporto dei due regimi con la cultura e la società, al rispettivo grado di consenso, infine al modo in cui nazismo e fascismo affrontarono la sfida della guerra. L'autore reca un utile contributo conoscitivo sui caratteri del totalitarismo di destra.

Why do we want to justify our decisions, even if they appear to be irrational? The answer lies in cognitive dissonance, the mental discomfort we experience when we hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time.

Festinger puts forward the idea that we have developed mechanisms to try to deal with the stress brought on by cognitive dissonance.

Born in 1933, Philip Zimbardo is a renowned and controversial American social psychologist who is fascinated by why people can sometimes behave in awful ways. Some psychologists believe people who commit cruelty are innately evil. Zimbardo disagrees.

Neurologist Oliver Sacks' 1985 book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat challenges the impersonal approach doctors took to patient care and paved the way for a new literary genre: popular science. At the time of its publication, neurologists and physicians relied mainly on clinical studies and their own expertise to set the course of treatment. Sacks found this inhumane and developed a very different approach, clearly demonstrated in The Man Who Mistook His Wife.

In the 1960s, researchers into human memory began to understand memory as operating under two systems. The first was a short-term system handling information for mere seconds.
