Books by Peter Herriot

Using social identity theory, Herriot shows how both populism and fundamentalism create constant conflict by contrasting a virtuous 'Us' with a stereotypically evil 'Them'. Contemporary case studies illustrate this process at work, and Herriot raises various issues as a basis for discussion, and concludes with hope.

This book gives a personal insight into the hearts and minds of a fundamentalist Christian sect, the Open Brethren. Using Brethren magazine articles, obituaries, and testimonies, Peter Herriot argues that the Brethren constitute a perfect example of a fundamentalism.

Taking an uncommon perspective for a professional skills book, Trust and Transition looks at issues of career management through the eyes of the organization rather than the individual worker.

Fundamentalism can be analysed from a variety of perspectives. This book deals with four levels of analysis, combining sociological and psychological perspectives, and relating them to each other. It is suitable for university students and for students of the contemporary world.
