The Ice Cream Man is a story about a man named Stanley Gibson. The abuse that Stanley endured as a child by the hands of his very own mother gave him a dark streak through life. Stanley grew to be very distant and shy. He craved love and attention from anyone who would give it to him. Stanley is also smart, handsome, generous, loving, and very creative in his young life. Stanley created a way to turn the pain of rejection into profit while filling the emptiness in his heart with joy. Stanley changed from an abused child to a violent and unpredictable adult. He began to loose respect for human life because his need for love is far more important. Stanley wants to be adored and needed by his peers. Stanley sends the Westside of South Central into an uproar.

Is it possible to learn something without being aware of it? How does emotion influence the way we think? How can we improve our memory? Fundamentals of Cognition, third edition, provides a basic, reader-friendly introduction to the key cognitive processes we use to interact successfully with the world around us. Our abilities in attention, perception, learning, memory, language, problem solving, thinking, and reasoning are all vitally important in enabling us to cope with everyday life. Understanding these processes through the study of cognitive psychology is essential for understanding human behaviour. This edition has been thoroughly updated and revised with an emphasis on making it even more accessible to introductory-level students. Bringing on board Professor Marc Brysbaert, a world-leading researcher in the psychology of language, as co-author, this new edition includes: developed and extended research activities and "In the Real World" case studies to make it easy for students to engage with the material; new real-world topics such as discussions of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, the reading problems of individuals with dyslexia, why magic tricks work, and why we cannot remember the Apple logo accurately; a supporting companion website containing multiple choice questions, flashcards, sample essay answers, instructor resources, and more. The book provides a perfect balance between traditional approaches to cognition and cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience and cognitive neuropsychology. Covering all the key topics within cognition, this comprehensive overview is essential reading for all students of cognitive psychology and related areas such as clinical psychology.
