Mental traps are habitual modes of thinking that disturb our ease, take up enormous amounts of our time, and deplete our energy without accomplishing anything of value for us or for anyone else in return. The material in this book is unique: there is no other work that systematically surveys the various ways of wasting time. Moreover, the advice Professor Kukla gives is often novel, and sometimes diametrically opposed to conventional or proverbial wisdom.
Andre Kukla is professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, in both the Departments of Psychology and of Philosophy. He has published numerous philosophical and psychological articles and books, including books by Oxford and MIT Press. Mental Traps is his first foray into writing for the general public.

Forbidden Nation: A History of Taiwan
Jonathan Manthorpe
Forbidden Nation is the story of the still incomplete 400 year old quest by Taiwan’s people to be the masters of their own house. A reviewer for the Taipei Times gave this rave review: “
The topics covered by Manthorpe together constitute a minefield, and yet he tip-toes his way through them with great intelligence and discernment. I have by no means read all the recent English-language books analyzing Taiwan's situation. Even so, if asked to recommend a single volume to a student new to Taiwanese affairs, something that would give both a balanced and a comprehensive account of the state of play here both past and present, Forbidden Nation would be the one I would opt for.”
Jonathan Manthorpe is the International Affairs Columnist at the Vancouver Sun and the Asia Affairs specialist for the CanWest group of metropolitan daily newspapers across Canada
