Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Why do some people seem able to imagine better futures-and build them-while others replay the same mistakes again and again?In The Psychology of Imagination, interdisciplinary researcher Charles Jensen Jr. explores a powerful but often misunderstood cognitive system: the human capacity for mental simulation. Drawing on research from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics, and sociology, this book explains how imagination shapes identity, creativity, and real-world decision-making across education, careers, relationships, and long-term life outcomes.Modern research shows that the brain does not simply remember the past-it constantly constructs possible futures. Memory and imagination share neural networks. Mental rehearsal improves performance. Small imagined changes can produce measurable differences in motivation, persistence, and goal-setting. Yet the same system that fuels creativity can also produce anxiety, regret loops, and catastrophic thinking when left unmanaged. Understanding this system is not a luxury; it is a practical skill for navigating modern life.Across clear, research-grounded chapters, Jensen explains how imagination develops from childhood pretend play into adult identity formation, how dreams rehearse problems, how language metaphors shape belief systems, and how imagined futures influence economic choices, career paths, and social outcomes. Readers learn why people spend large portions of waking time in spontaneous mental simulation, why overthinking happens, why confidence grows from rehearsed success scenarios, and how deliberate visualization can improve learning, performance, and emotional regulation.The book does not offer vague inspiration. It provides structured frameworks. You will learn how to rewrite mental loops, design better future scenarios, rebuild creativity after burnout, manage anxiety driven by imagined outcomes, and use mental rehearsal techniques supported by empirical research. These tools are presented in a practical format that connects theory to daily habits-because small weekly changes, repeated consistently, reshape long-term trajectories.Like Jensen's other interdisciplinary works on identity, labor, creativity, and modern institutional life, this book is part of a broader research ecosystem examining how psychological systems interact with social and economic structures. Imagination is not merely fantasy. It is a mechanism that shapes motivation, opportunity perception, risk tolerance, and ultimately the lives people build.If you have ever wondered why you feel stuck despite effort, why confidence seems fragile, why you replay mistakes, or how to think more creatively about your future, this book offers a clear and evidence-based path forward.You are not broken. The system is complex. And once you understand how imagination works, you can begin using it deliberately-to design better goals, better decisions, and a more intentional life.The answers are within reach-and they are in this book.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Climate change is often framed as an environmental problem.In reality, it is an economic system problem shaped by incentives, prices, institutions, and risk.The Economics of Climate Change: Markets, Externalities, and the Cost of Delay examines climate change through the tools of modern economic analysis-externalities, public goods, carbon pricing, technological change, and welfare trade-offs. Drawing on empirical research, historical case studies, and policy models used by governments and international organizations, this book explains why emissions persist, why delay increases costs, and how carefully designed markets and institutions can reduce risk while preserving growth.Readers will explore how industrialization raised global prosperity while increasing atmospheric CO2 from roughly 280 ppm to over 420 ppm; how extreme weather losses now exceed hundreds of billions of dollars annually; why the social cost of carbon is central to policy design; and how carbon taxes, cap-and-trade systems, innovation policy, and adaptation strategies interact across global economies. The analysis connects energy markets, financial risk, inequality, and technological transition, showing how climate change affects prices, wages, investment decisions, and long-term development.Written in a rigorous but accessible style, the book integrates insights from environmental economics, macroeconomics, public finance, and political economy. Each chapter presents frameworks used in real policy debates, explains the assumptions behind climate models, and evaluates trade-offs between mitigation, adaptation, and growth. Special attention is given to the economics of delay: why postponing action raises total costs, increases volatility, and shifts burdens across generations.For students, policymakers, investors, and readers seeking a deeper understanding of climate policy, this book offers a structured guide to the incentives that drive emissions and the tools that can reshape them. Climate change is not only a scientific challenge; it is a question of institutional design and economic coordination.Understanding the system is the first step toward changing it.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Many years after the United States initiated a military response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, the nation continues to prosecute what it considers an armed conflict against transnational terrorist groups. Understanding how the law of armed conflict applies to and regulates military operations executed within the scope of this armed conflict against transnational non-state terrorist groups is as important today as it was in September 2001. In The War on Terror and the Laws of War seven legal scholars, each with experience as military officers, focus on how to strike an effective balance between the necessity of using armed violence to subdue a threat to the nation with the humanitarian interest of mitigating the suffering inevitably associated with that use. Each chapter addresses a specific operational issue, including the national right of self-defense, military targeting and the use of drones, detention, interrogation, trial by military commission of captured terrorist operatives, and the impact of battlefield perspectives on counter-terror military operations, while illustrating how the law of armed conflict influences resolution of that issue. This Second Edition carries on the critical mission of continuing the ongoing dialogue about the law from an unabashedly military perspective, bringing practical wisdom to the contentious topic of applying international law to the battlefield.…
