Summary: Psychology is all around us -- in the advertising we see,
the politics we debate, and in the development of products we use every day.
Using engaging graphics, "Heads Up Psychology" explores the big ideas
from all areas of psychology including psychoanalysis, intelligence, and mental
disorders.
With easy-to-understand coverage of all the approaches to psychology, and the ideas of more than 60 psychologists, from Asch to Milgram and Ramachandran to Zimbardo, this introduction to an often complicated subject is written with young-adult readers in mind, and is structured around the questions they often ask, like "How do I fit in?," "Who needs parents, anyway?," and "Why do I feel so angry all the time?"
In "Heads Up Psychology," psychological theories are explained with the help of cleverly conceived graphic illustrations and diagrams to show how they relate to everyday life. Biography spreads give interesting insights into the lives and work of Freud, Pavlov, and more, while other psychologists and their big ideas are profiled in a comprehensive directory, and case study panels describe groundbreaking experiments in the field.
Supports the Common Core State Standards.

Summary: Kids love stuff that's gross. From the liquids, solids, and
gases--especially the gases!--or their own bodies to the creepy, crawly, slimy,
slithery, fetid, and feculent phenomena in the world at large, kids with a
curious bent just can't get enough. "Oh, Yuck! The Encyclopedia of
Everything Nasty" brings together, in one book, all the good things about
some of the baddest things on Earth.
Exhaustively researched and impeccably scientific, yet written with a lively lack of earnestness, "Oh, Yuck! "is an ants to zits encyclopedic compendium covering people, animals, insects, plants, foods, and more. Here are vampire bats, which sip blood and pee at the same time so that they'll always be light enough to fly away; and slime eels, wreathed in mucus and eating fellow fish from the inside out. "Oh, Yuck!" explains why vomit smells; where dandruff comes from; what pus is all about; and why maggots adore rotting meant. Other features include gross recipes, putrid projects, 10 foods that make you airborne, and more.
With hundreds of cartoon illustrations and real-life photographs, "Oh, Yuck!" is the complete guide to the irresistible--at least to an 8-to-12 year old--underbelly of life.
