What motivates people to buy guns? To carry them? To use them?The gun violence crisis in the U.S. claims tens of thousands of lives each year. We need a solution more urgently than ever, yet progress is halted from both sides as they fail to understand one another—while some urge for a ban on guns, others are insistent on retaining their firearms. In Shot!, leading psychologist Dr. Janet Shibley Hyde shows that in order to understand the challenges posed by sensible gun reform legislation, we must first understand the psychology of gun ownership, gun violence, and gun culture in America.Drawing on her research as a developmental psychologist, Hyde investigates the motivations behind gun use and misuse to transform readers’ understanding of American gun violence and ultimately provide solutions rooted in scientific research. Why is it that more than 98% of mass shooters are boys or men? How do race and racism play a role in shootings and homicides? Is it really true that “guns don’t kill people, people kill people?” Psychology would suggest otherwise, showing that it is both the person and the environment that contribute to violent behaviors despite the implications of this manipulative slogan from the Gun Lobby. Through scientific evidence, psychological research, and cogent analysis, Shot! shows that the key to effective action lies in understanding the motivations behind gun violence and the divide in our culture. Beyond the psychology of offenders themselves, Hyde delves into the psychology behind the Gun Lobby’s tactics in influencing Americans, provides a more accurate understanding of the Second Amendment to explain what kinds of regulations are possible, and offers strategies and interventions rooted in scientific knowledge. Shot! provides sound psychological insights that will empower readers to take action to reduce gun violence and bolster public health, both in their community and their country.

Biological Substrates of Human Sexuality explores some of the past decade's explosion of research on the neuroscience and endocrinology of sexuality and presents the latest findings in this field. From studies of twins that test a genetic basis for sexual orientation through close examinations of the intertwined roles of the endocrine system and hypothalamus in sexuality, this volume gives a vivid portrait of the state of the art in sexuality research. Among the findings discussed are: women with complete spinal cord injury are nonetheless capable of sexual response, including orgasm; compulsive sexual behavior may have its roots in dysregulation of the limbic system; certain regions of the hypothalamus show marked anatomical differences between males and females across species, and lesions to these regions can eliminate sexual behavior; neurotransmitters in the brain and its periphery are closely linked to sexual response: Viagra targets peripheral mechanisms, but newer drugs target central brain mechanisms as well. Contributors to this volume, all experts in the field of the psychobiology of human sexuality, discuss these topics in depth, providing results from their own studies as well as those of other experts. These exciting discussions are based on cutting edge research founded in the contributors' comprehensive knowledge of their field. In addition to revelations of new findings, authors reflect on practical implications for treating sexual disorders and other sexuality issues, making this a volume for both researchers and practitioners in the field.
