" Pride and Prejudice" is a beloved novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. Set in the Regency era of England, the story follows the Bennet family, particularly the second eldest daughter, Elizabeth, as she navigates the social conventions of the time and the search for a suitable husband. The novel explores themes such as class, marriage, social norms, and the role of women in society. It is also a witty and romantic comedy of manners, full of memorable characters and clever dialogue. The interactions between Elizabeth and the proud, wealthy Mr. Darcy are particularly famous, as they begin with mutual dislike and misunderstanding but eventually come to appreciate each other's true character. Throughout the novel, Austen uses humor and irony to expose the absurdity and limitations of the society in which her characters live. The book is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its sharp social commentary, vivid characters, and timeless love story.

How do we learn? What is memory? How do we know how to behave? The formal study of psychology as a scientific enterprise began in Germany in the late 19th century but the observation of human behaviour dates back to Ancient Greece. Defined as the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes, psychology has attained a range of branches including clinical, cognitive, developmental, evolutionary, forensic, health and neuropsychology. In a wide ranging, highly illustrated book, readers are introduced to the world of psychology and those who formed the science as we know it. With discussion of a number of key ideas including prejudice and discrimination, social cognition, how we develop attitudes and why and how we fall in love, as well as reference to the people who developed these ideas, the book is an accessible guide to this fascinating subject.
