Książka Idea solidarności jako zasada życia społecznego. Perspektywa normatywna jest pogłębioną analizą dotyczącą pojęcia i sposobu rozumienia idei solidarności w wybranych kontekstach społeczno-politycznych. Monografia stanowi istotne opracowanie systematyzujące wiedzę na temat solidarności, zarówno pod względem teoretycznym, jak i w praktycznym zastosowaniu na poziomie prawnym (Unia Europejska) i politycznym (wybrane partie polityczne).
Książka odnosi się do współczesnych problemów związanych z komunikacją w kontekście zmieniających się sposobów porozumiewania się, zwłaszcza wśród młodych ludzi. Porusza zagadnienia społeczne związane z komunikacją uczniów, które z jednej strony są kluczowe dla ich dobrostanu społecznego, a z drugiej strony dostarczają wartościowych analiz i wskazówek dla nauczycieli, wychowawców, pedagogów, rodziców oraz innych osób zaangażowanych w proces wychowywania dzieci i młodzieży, oparty na wiedzy naukowej.
Książka stanowi wprowadzenie do myśli trzech wielkich klasyków socjologii: Karla Marxa, Maxa Webera i Ferdinanda Tnniesa. Autor, z charakterystyczną dla siebie precyzją i klarownością, prezentuje zarówno konteksty historyczne, jak i intelektualne źródła ich koncepcji. Aron nie ogranicza się do opisu, ale prowadzi pogłębioną refleksję nad aktualnością ich teorii. Publikacja ta pozostaje ważną lekturą dla każdego, kto chce zrozumieć fundamenty nowoczesnej socjologii.
Grupy dyspozycyjne tworzone są w ramach różnych systemów społecznych — militarnych, paramilitarnych oraz cywilnych. Stoją na straży bezpieczeństwa, zarówno w wymiarze państwowym, jak i codziennym życiu obywateli. To formacje gotowe do natychmiastowej reakcji w sytuacjach kryzysowych, a ich zadaniem jest rzeciwdziałanie i przezwyciężanie zagrożeń dla sprawnego funkcjonowania społeczeństwa.
Zaproponowana przez Jana Maciejewskiego subdyscyplina socjologii — socjologia grup dyspozycyjnych — zajmuje się analizą zorganizowanych struktur, które są zdolne do błyskawicznej interwencji w celu ochrony ludzi oraz najważniejszych zasobów państwa. Socjologia grup dyspozycyjnych sytuuje się na styku takich dziedzin jak socjologia wojska, socjologia organizacji, socjologia pracy, nauki o bezpieczeństwie oraz psychologia społeczna. Badania koncentrują się na uwarunkowaniach formowania i funkcjonowania grup dyspozycyjnych, zasadach selekcji i naboru ich członków, metodach szkolenia, a także roli tych struktur w zmieniającej się rzeczywistości społeczno-gospodarczej i politycznej.
Książka Grupy dyspozycyjne. Analiza socjologiczna nie tylko analizuje procesy selekcji, szkolenia i integracji członków grup dyspozycyjnych, ale także ukazuje, jak te formacje adaptują się do wyzwań globalnych — cyberzagrożeń, migracji, katastrof naturalnych czy nowych form przestępczości. Dzięki temu publikacja niewątpliwie posłuży za nieocenione źródło wiedzy dla studentów, badaczy i wszystkich zainteresowanych tematyką bezpieczeństwa.
Propozycja badawcza prof. Jana Maciejewskiego przynosi istotne ustalenia i jest autentycznie interdyscyplinarna. Słowem, jest ważna poznawczo i pozwala krytycznie spojrzeć na cząstkowe ustalenia rozlicznych specjalistów i „specjalistów” od bezpieczeństwa. Ten sposób postępowania jest zgodny z wiodącymi trendami w socjologii światowej, której uznani beneficjenci coraz częściej i z dobrym skutkiem wykraczają poza granice subdyscyplin, dążąc do kompleksowej charakterystyki poszczególnych obszarów życia społecznego. Jest to niełatwe, ale owocne poznawczo. Pozwala zidentyfikować ograniczenia tych czy innych perspektyw cząstkowych, wymusza wielopoziomowe próby ujęcia (od poziomu mikro, skończywszy na odniesieniach globalnych) podobnych funkcjonalnie fenomenów, a także wyjście poza opłotki kostycznie rozumianej socjologii. Jest to istotna glosa do odpowiedzi na pytanie, jak możliwe jest społeczeństwo obywatelskie, które ma zarówno zapewnić wolność i dobrostan obywateli, jak i przekonać ich do potrzeby funkcjonowania grup dyspozycyjnych, traktowanych nie jako zło konieczne, lecz instytucje służące ludziom i społeczeństwu. Nie sposób uprawiać dziś nauki o społeczeństwie bez próby odpowiedzi na pytanie o funkcje spełniane przez rozliczne grupy dyspozycyjne.
Z recenzji prof. dr. hab. Aleksandra Manterysa, Instytut Studiów Politycznych PAN
Profesor Janusz Mariański, jako socjolog o wysokich kwalifikacjach i kompetencjach w zakresie badań nad religijnością i moralnością społeczeństwa polskiego, wzbogacił swoją książką literaturę przedmiotu dotyczącą doświadczenia religijnego, przede wszystkim pod kątem badań socjologicznych, których ciągle brakuje. Gruntowne prze-myślenia zawarte w recenzowanej publikacji odznaczają się w warstwie teoretycznej cennym walorem interdyscyplinarnym. Skorzystać z niej mogą nie tylko socjologowie, ale także uprawiający psychologię, pedagogikę, filozofię i teologię (zwłaszcza teologowie pastoraliści), a szczególnie pedagogikę religii i katechetykę.

This book provides an accessible and balanced introduction to positive psychology scholarship and its applications, incorporating an overview of the development of positive psychology. Positive Psychology: The Basics delineates positive psychology’s journey as a discipline, takes stock of its achievements and provides an updated overview of its core topics, exploring the theory, research and interventions in each.
Launched as a rebellious discipline just over two decades ago, positive psychology challenged the emphasis of applied psychology on disease and dysfunction and offered a new, more balanced perspective on human life. From its foundations in the late 20th century to recent "second-wave" theories around the importance of recognizing negative emotions, this compact overview covers the key ideas and principles, from research around emotional wellbeing, optimism and change, to posttraumatic growth and positive relationships. The first jargon-free introduction to the subject, Hart introduces the reader to a range of issues, including self-regulation and flow, character strengths and virtues and positive relationships, concluding with a chapter on how interventions can affect happiness and wellbeing.
Positive Psychology: The Basics is an essential resource for students, practitioners, academics and anyone who is interested in understanding the essence of a life well lived.
The new edition of this bestselling textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research on stress and health, moving beyond the former deficit model to a resource growth model. It examines all aspects of the topic, from how the external world and the impact of technology makes demands upon individuals, through biological and psychological processes, to outcomes in terms of health and well-being. The process is set within a dynamic, multilevel systems and developmental lifespan perspective.
The book includes a history of the evolution of stress research and the biological systems and immune responses that translate external pressures into health outcomes. It considers the role of personality and cognition in terms of appraisal and coping strategies set within a social ecology of power and support. The role of positive psychology in terms of resilience, psychological capital, and self-compassion brings the area up to date in considering the benefits as well as the threats of stress on health and well-being. An integration of issues of importance in stress research is provided with some suggested guidelines for both research and practice. Issues around prevention and intervention are discussed to reduce stress and increase resilience in families, schools, workplaces and communities, and suggestions for the future development of the field are presented.
With an engaging style, the book is equally accessible to the layperson and the scientist, the practitioner and the academic. Providing a basis for further exploration of the vast area of stress and health, it is valuable reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students and those working in organisations with an interest in understanding and preventing or alleviating stress.

This groundbreaking book provides a refreshing introduction to the field of leadership and is jam-packed with theoretical and practical insights derived from a wealth of applied scientific research conducted by the authors and their colleagues around the world over the last three decades.
It starts from the premise that leadership is never just about leaders. Instead it is about leaders and followers who are joined together as members of a social group that provides them with a sense of shared social identity – a sense of "us-ness". In these terms, leadership is understood as the process through which leaders work with followers to create, represent, advance, and embed this sense of shared social identity. The new edition of this award-winning book presents a wealth of evidence from historical, organizational, political and sporting contexts to provide an expanded exploration of these processes of identity leadership in action. In particular, it builds upon the success of the first edition by examining the operation of identity leadership in contemporary society and fleshing out practical answers to key organizational and institutional challenges.
Drawing on real-world examples and rich data sources, this book will appeal to academics, researchers, and students of psychology, business, and management, as well as to practitioners, policy makers, and anyone interested in the workings of leadership, influence, and power.

This book is a study of the psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy of creativity, originality, and inspiration viewed from the lens of a seasoned game developer. It introduces the concept of creative sobriety—a practice that advocates better understanding our own sources of inspiration so that we can intellectually drive our creative voice closer to originality.
The creative process is an improvised dance between the conscious and the subconscious mind, where knowledge, experience, intuition, observation, imagination, and projection meet in ways that are completely unique to each person. Presenting practical and theoretical approaches to originality and game concept generation, this book explores the notion of creative sobriety before moving to chapters that blend theory and practice, covering topics such as innovation, the creative process, auteurship, collaboration, and creative vision.
This book will be of great interest to students of game design and creative professionals working within the industry as well as those looking to learn more about the creative process.
Monografia Doroty Kubackiej-Jasieckiej nawiązuje do jej dotychczasowego dorobku naukowego dotyczącego problematyki kryzysu emocjonalnego i interwencji kryzysowej prowadzonych od lat 90. XX wieku. Autorka (...) wykracza poza obszary pomocy psychologicznej i wsparcia psychologicznego ku działaniu na rzecz dobra, nie tylko jednostki, lecz także środowiska (...), inicjowania zarówno zmian indywidualnych, osobistych, jak i przemian społeczno-politycznych. (...) Zdaniem autorki działalność interwencyjna powinna brać pod uwagę (...) również oczekiwania społeczne. (…) Wy-mienia specyficzne cele interwencji kryzysowej, a mianowicie: ponoszenie odpowiedzialności (również za innych) oraz podejmowanie działań na rzecz życia i zdrowia społeczności. Interwencja kryzysowa (...) kieruje się szczytnymi hasłami i wartościami: sprawiedliwością, tolerancją społeczną, poszanowaniem dla praw człowieka i demokracji. Powiązana jest z edukowaniem społeczeństwa i zmierza do wzrostu zaangażowania obywatelskiego młodego pokolenia.
