An anthology of core readings on cognitive psychology.

One of the most exciting recent innovations in the social sciences has been the emergence of 'behaviour economics', which extends the notion of rational choice to allow for both motivation beyond self-interest and intuitions that cannot be reduced to the logic of a situation. This new book by Howard Margolis demonstrates how an account of widely-discussed topics, from tipping points in social choice to cognitive illusions and experimental anomalies, can be brought within a coherent framework. Starting from Darwin's own comments on the origins of moral concerns and from a review of notorious cognitive illusions, Margolis shows how rational choice theory can be extended to incorporate social as well as self-interested motivation, but allowing for the cognitive complications that can be expected in domains well-outside familiar experience. This yields a coherent account of many otherwise mystifying results from cooperation experiments. This book will be of great interest not only to students and researchers in behavioral and experimental economics but across the social sciences.

This book considers the various advanced hydrogen materials and technologies of their synthesis. It presents the consideration of the physics, chemistry, thermodynamics and kinetics of processes of energy conversion, which occur at hydrogen production, storage, transportation and with its use. It also discusses the pioneering attempts to transform motor transport, airplanes, domestic technics, illumination and industrial manufacture of hydrogen fuel.

Quinta Essentia: A Practical Guide to Space-Time Engineering (the series), describes the development of a mathematical method termed "Electro-Gravi-Magnetics" (EGM). This text, Part Two of the "Quinta Essentia" series, is a summarised presentation of the key results and findings of Parts Three and Four. The EGM method generates new predictions and confirms well-established experimental observations, particularly in the fields of Particle-Physics and Cosmology. It is our explicit hope that the material presented in the "Quinta Essentia" series, will inspire new ideas and experiments dealing directly with matter-space-time modification, by either applying EGM methods or through the development of one's own approach.
