Hitler, 1889-1936 / Ian Kershaw

Public ISBD Titre : Hitler, 1889-1936 : hubris / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ian Kershaw Editeur : London : Penguin Année de publication : 2001 Importance : xxx, 845 p., [32] p. of plates Présentation : ill., facsims., geneal. table, ports. Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-013363-9 Note générale : Is there anything fresh to be said about Hitler? He is an icon, maybe the icon, of the 20th century. He was a failed artist with Wagnerian fantasies, a slob who could not get up in the morning, but he exposed the frailties of modern civilisation in a way that should still make us giddy. How? Was it his doing, or German society's? Professor Ian Kershaw has produced a work of definitive scholarship that will be the standard for years to come. It was badly needed; since Alan Bullock's 1952 classic Hitler: A Study in Tyranny and Joachim Fest's Hitler (originally published in 1973) there has been much valuable research, all of which Kershaw seems to have read (there are 200 pages of notes). Add to this the media (and, by extension, public) fascination with the nature of evil, and a resurgent interest in right-wing groups, and this book becomes long overdue. Kershaw deals rigorously with the bones of his subject's life. He has no truck with psychological padding, and calmly demolishes most of the quasi-facts that have sprung up--if in doubt, he allows space within the chronology. His description of the path to the Chancellorship, which was always more messy than messianic, is painful to behold but gripping to follow, and concludes in 1936 with Hitler at the height of his "Hubris". This is an important study of the character of power, as clearly written as it is intellectually engaging. --David Vincent --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. About the Author IAN KERSHAW's other books include Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis; Making Friends with Hitler; Fateful Choices: Ten Decisions that Changed the World, 1940-4; and The End: Hitler's Germany, 1944-45. Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis received the Wolfson History Prize and the Bruno Kreisky Prize in Austria for Political Book of the Year, and was joint winner of the inaugural British Academy Book Prize. Until his retirement in 2008, Ian Kershaw was Professor of Modern History at the University of Sheffield. For services to history he was given the German award of the Federal Cross of Merit in 1994. He was knighted in 2002 and awarded the Norton Medlicott Medal by the Historical Association in 2004. He is a Fellow of the British Academy.

Uses and Abuses of Psychology / Hans J. Eysenck

Public ISBD Titre : Uses and Abuses of Psychology Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hans J. Eysenck (1916 - 1997), Auteur Editeur : London : Penguin Langues : Anglais Catégories : antisémitisme Comportement développement enfant Intelligence Normalité Politique Représentation sociale stéréotype Trouble du comportement Résumé : Son modèle de la personnalité est fondé sur trois dimensions : le névrosisme (stabilité/instabilité émotionnelle), l'introversion–extraversion (extériorisation, non-inhibition, tendances impulsives et sociales) et le psychoticisme (sujets froids, impersonnels, hostiles, non émotifs, peu enclins à aider autrui). Ce modèle de personnalité est évalué par l’Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). Dans L'inégalité de l'homme, Eysenck a suscité de nombreuses controverses. Il essaie d'y démontrer l'importance des différences intellectuelles entre individus et du Q.I dans la réussite des individus. Il défend l'idée de différences intellectuelles entre classes sociales d'une part et, de l'autre entre européens et afro-américains. Sa démonstration repose sur l'étude des jumeaux homozygotes qui montreraient que l'intelligence est héritée, chez les européens dont le Q.I serait à 100 mais aussi chez les afro-américains, dont la moyenne serait elle à 85. Il se défend des critiques de racisme en établissant que les asiatiques d'Amérique sont aussi performants voire plus que les européens5. Note de contenu : The aim of this book is to show what modern psychology is and what it is not, and to explain to the intelligent layman the import of some important recent achievements for several domains of life. Part one is devoted to Intelligence Testing and discusses the problem of intelligence in the light of recent experimental findings and factor analysis, of predicting value of intelligence testing, and of the decline of national intelligence. Part two is devoted to various problems of vocational psychology, selection procedures, assessment of men, productivity of work, and the role of motivation. In part three such problems of abnormal behaviour as normality, the effects of psychotherapy, the conditioned reflex treatment of some abnormal phenomena, and the unscientific character of psychoanalysis are discussed. Part four contains the reviews of various questions connected with social attitudes, public opinion polls, psychology and politics.
