We perceive color everywhere and on everything that we encounter in daily life. Color science has progressed to the point where a great deal is known about the mechanics, evolution, and development of color vision, but less is known about the relation between color vision and psychology. However, color psychology is now a burgeoning, exciting area and this Handbook provides comprehensive coverage of emerging theory and research. Top scholars in the field provide rigorous overviews of work on color categorization, color symbolism and association, color preference, reciprocal relations between color perception and psychological functioning, and variations and deficiencies in color perception. The Handbook of Color Psychology seeks to facilitate cross-fertilization among researchers, both within and across disciplines and areas of research, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in color psychology in both theoretical and applied areas of study.

"Maakt kunst gelukkig? Als schrijver is Marc Reugebrink de aangewezen man om die vraag te beantwoorden. Hij vertelt in dit boek hoe en waarom we in de fantasie van schrijvers willen geloven - of waarom net niet. Reugebrinks verhaal over de betekenis van literatuur gaat uiteindelijk over hoe wij naar de wereld kijken, twijfelend tussen realisme en romantiek. De fundamentele historische ervaringen die we delen - zoals de val van de Muur, 9/11, de explosie van de nieuwsstroom - bepalen hoe we met literatuur omgaan. Reugebrink ziet vooral een breuk na 1989 en probeert te begrijpen waarom literatuur een ongevaarlijke subcultuur is geworden, gedoogd in de media en verdwenen uit het onderwijs. 'Het geluk van de kunst' is een verrassend, eerlijk en verhelderend boek over de inspiratie en de waarde die we vandaag uit literatuur kunnen putten"--P. [4] pf cover.

Writing is one of humankind’s greatest inventions, and modern societies could not function if their citizens could not read and write. How do skilled readers so quickly pick up meaning from squiggles on a page, and how do children learn to do so? These questions have been studied in fields ranging from vision science to cognitive psychology to education. The chapters in this Handbook synthesize the research on these topics, focusing on how studies using a cognitive approach can shed light on how the reading process works in skilled readers and how children learn to read. To set the stage, the first few chapters of the Handbook present information about writing systems and about methods of studying reading, including those that examine speeded responses to individual words and those that use eye movement technology to examine the reading of sentences and texts. The chapters in the following section focus on the identification of single words by skilled readers. Insights that have been gained from studies of adults with reading disabilities due to brain damage are also discussed. Another section of the Handbook considers the silent reading of text by skilled readers. The chapters in this section address such issues as the role of sound in silent reading and how readers’ eyes move through texts, and detailed quantitative models of the reading process are proposed in some chapters. How children learn to read and spell and how they should be taught to do so is the focus of the chapters in the final sections of the Handbook. These chapters review research with learners of different languages and those who speak different dialects of a language; they discuss both typically developing children and children with specific disabilities in reading. These chapters also address questions about how reading should be taught with populations ranging from preschoolers to adolescents, and they show how research findings have influenced education.
