The past decade reshaped educational measurement in ways many of us are still working through.

From pandemic disruptions to renewed attention to fairness, accessibility, and accountability, assessment has had to respond to broader social changes, not just technical advances. This collection brings together scholars who reflect on how those forces influenced both education systems and measurement practices between 2014 and 2024.

New to the 5th Edition:
Provides guidance on important areas of educational measurement that have emerged since the publication of the fourth edition. These include but are not limited to issues in education and educational assessment that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Describes recent trends in education such as the emphasis on accountability; opportunity to learn; fairness and accessibility for an increasingly diverse population of learners; and issues related to social justice. These trends mirror important changes in society that necessitate new ways of thinking about measurement theories, methodologies, and applications.

Understanding the brain is not just about where activity happens, but about how it changes, interacts, and unfolds over time.

Whole‑brain modelling brings together psychology, neuroscience, and physics to think about brain activity as an interconnected system rather than a set of isolated signals. It offers a way of connecting neuroimaging data with broader questions about cognition, behaviour, and mental health.

Freely available to read and download, this new book is written to welcome readers from many disciplines without assuming a shared technical background.

Why do some people fall in love almost instantly, again and again, while others take their time?

An introductory chapter from Daniel N. Jones explores emophilia, a personality trait linked to how quickly and often people fall in love. It looks beyond stereotypes of “hopeless romantics” to examine real patterns in commitment, vulnerability, and emotional wellbeing, drawing on research and real‑life examples.

If you’re curious about the psychology behind rapid attachment and what it means for relationships more broadly, this chapter offers a thoughtful place to begin 💘

Around the world, so many people experience depression, anxiety, loneliness, or stress, yet most never receive any form of treatment. Alan Kazdin’s new book takes a thoughtful look at something both practical and hopeful: the role everyday activities can play in improving mental health.

Drawing on scientific evidence, he explores how things like exercise, time in nature, volunteering, hobbies, spiritual practices, and even spending time with pets can meaningfully reduce symptoms and support well‑being.

It’s a reminder that while clinical care is essential, everyday life also offers tools that can help people who might never access traditional treatment. A valuable read for anyone interested in accessible, research‑backed ways to support mental health.
