Revival: An Outline of Psychology (1968) The time has gone by when any one man could hope to write an adequate text book of psychology. The science has now so many branches so many methods so many fields of application and such an immense mass of data of observation is now on record that no one man can hope to have the necessary familiarity with the whole. But even when a galaxy of learning and talent shall have written the text book of the future there will still be need for the book which will introduce the student to his science which will aim at giving him at the outset of his studies a profitable line of approach a fruitful way of thinking of psychological problems and a terminology as little misleading as possible. The present volume is designed to render these services. | Revival: An Outline of Psychology (1968) GBP 66.99 1

An Outline of the Aryan Civilization In a first of its kind this book attempts a comprehensive account of the old Vedic society with particular focus on the physical conditions of life during the Bronze Age in north western South Asia. Based primarily on textual evidence the narrative relates wherever necessary to the known archaeological information from the area. With territorial kingdoms walled urban places specialized production of craft goods large scale trade by land and sea a broad spectrum service sector and a high end surplus producing peasant economy supporting all of these situates the Aryan discourse on an entirely different platform. The book shows that the Aryans of the Rigveda with diverse forms of speech physical features and funerary behaviour were far from the monolithic concept of a single people and a single culture. Hopefully the book will help readers to escape the broad misinformation long circulating in history texts for schools general readers and specialists. Extensive citations are also intended to enable interested readers to access the text on their own and ascertain for themselves what is true and what is false. | An Outline of the Aryan Civilization GBP 130.00 1

Higher Education and the Growth of Knowledge A Historical Outline of Aims and Tensions This book sketches the history of higher education in parallel with the development of science. Its goal is to draw attention to the historical tensions between the aims of higher education and those of science in the hope of contributing to improving the contemporary university. A helpful tool in analyzing these intellectual and social tensions is Karl Popper's philosophy of science demarcating science and its social context. Popper defines a society that encourages criticism as open and argues convincingly that an open society is the most appropriate one for the growth of science. A closed society on the other hand is a tribal and dogmatic society. Despite being the universal home of science today the university as an institution that is thousands of years old carries traces of different past cultural social and educational traditions. The book argues that by and large the university was and still is a closed society and does not serve the best interests of the development of science and of students' education. | Higher Education and the Growth of Knowledge A Historical Outline of Aims and Tensions GBP 39.99 1
