Harvard University Press What We Know About Childcare Developing Child 45
Book SynopsisQuality childcare, the authors show, may be more beneficial to children than staying home. Although children who spend many hours in care may be more unruly than children at home, those who attend quality programs tend to be cognitively ahead of their peers. They are just as attached to their mothers and benefit from engaging with other children.Trade ReviewWhat We Know About Childcare...offers an exhaustive, evenhanded account of what the latest research proves--and what it disproves--about childcare's impact on children. -- Pamela Kruger * Child *Clarke-Stewart and Allhusen have amassed wonderful data and detailed descriptions of the social, psychological and political issues that continue to surround childcare in the U.S. in this new millennium. Engaging such a broad audience in these issues is a difficult, but worthy task. Their effort certainly deserves much praise. -- Julie Cooper Altman * Families in Society *Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments Abbreviations Introduction PART ONE: A NATION TRANSFORMED 1.

Harvard University Press Mind Time The Temporal Factor in Consciousness
Book SynopsisOver a long and distinguished career Libet has conducted experiments that have helped us see, in clear and concrete ways, how the brain produces conscious awareness. For the first time, Libet gives his own account of these experiments and their importance to our understanding of consciousness.Trade ReviewMind Time makes for extremely interesting, engaging reading. Its discussions of consciousness, subjectivity, free will, and perception will intrigue anybody in philosophy or psychology interested in those topics. This is a valuable book to have available. -- David Rosenthal, Philosophy and Cognitive Science Graduate Center, City University of New YorkBenjamin Libet's discoveries are of extraordinary interest. His is almost the only approach yet to yield any credible evidence of how conscious awareness is produced by the brain. Mind Time endeavors to clarify these startling observations for the general public, set them in proper framework of neuroscientific knowledge, and probe their philosophical meaning. Libet's work is unique, and speaks to questions asked by all humankind. -- Robert W. Doty, PhD, Professor of Neurobiology and Anatomy, University of RochesterThis book is strikingly different from most of the other books on consciousness in one key respect: it focuses on empirical discoveries, not speculation or argument. -- From the Foreword by Stephen KosslynLibet only dared switch to the study of consciousness after he got tenure. It is fortunate for us that he did, and that he has presented us here with what amounts to a retrospective exhibition of his work...The refreshing result is that we are immediately engaged in an earnest one-to-one tutorial with [him]...In [his] work, philosophers have found grist for what they do best. Indeed, his experiments...must rank as one of the major contributions of experimental psychology to modern philosophy of mind...[W]hether or not one agrees with his thesis or not, one must acknowledge that his pioneering experimental work has certainly been stimulating. -- Kevan Martin * Nature *What makes Benjamin Libet different from all the others writing on [consciousness]...is that he has actually spent the past 40 years experimenting on the topic. His findings have played a central role in others' speculations. Now he has put his life's work into a single short book. -- Steven Rose * New Scientist *[Libet's] book is greatly to be welcomed because it provides the first full and detailed account of his famous experiments, explaining how and why he carried them out, and how he came to his conclusions...What is new is Libet's 'conscious mental field theory,' which is startlingly different from any other current theory of consciousness. -- Susan Blackmore * Times Higher Education Supplement *Table of ContentsForeword Preface 1.

Harvard University Press Real Kids
Book SynopsisEngel argues that the “scientist in a crib” view held by many parents and teachers encourages them to expect more logical reasoning and emotional self-control from children than they possess. She provides an overview of what modern developmental psychologists have learned about children's developing powers of perception and capacity for reasoning.Trade ReviewFor a clue to what young children are really thinking, Susan Engel urges us to set aside our theories for a while as we listen anew to the children and watch them play. With humor and insight she celebrates the child's unique and ever-changing role playing and realities, and she calls upon us to make more sense of our research and teaching by seeing the children not as subjects but as co-discoverers. -- Vivian Gussin Paley, author of In Mrs. Tully's Room

Harvard University Press Toward an Evolutionary Biology of Language
Book SynopsisIn this forcefully argued book, the leading evolutionary theorist of language provides a framework for studying the evolution of human language and cognition. Philip Lieberman asserts that the widely influential theories of language’s development are inconsistent with principles and findings of evolutionary biology and neuroscience.Trade ReviewDiscussions of language tend to start from the assumption that it is a uniquely human trait without antecedent in the animal kingdom. Toward an Evolutionary Biology of Language forcefully challenges this assumption. Lieberman brings together a wide range of evidence from comparative anatomy, physiology, neurobiology, genetics, neuropsychology, and linguistics to illuminate the protolinguistic abilities in other species. -- Joseph T.

Harvard University Press Inside Deaf Culture
Book SynopsisIn this absorbing story of the changing life of a community, the authors of Deaf in America reveal historical events and forces that have shaped the ways that Deaf people define themselves today. Inside Deaf Culture relates Deaf people's search for a voice of their own, and their proud self-discovery and self-description as a flourishing culture.Trade ReviewThis well-organized and clearly written book provides a fascinating inside look at the development of Deaf culture… Padden and Humphries’s presentation of these marvelous insights into the history and development of the language and beliefs of the Deaf should be viewed as a welcome step in the quest to inform the hearing world of the rich and fertile culture of the authors’ beloved community. -- Susan Waltzman * New England Journal of Medicine *Inside Deaf Culture is a fascinating account of the rise of group identity among deaf people… Padden and Humphries shed light on the rise of Deaf schools, social clubs and theaters from the mid-19th to the mid-20th centuries—a history that is unknown to many. -- Jeremy Funk * Christian Century *Carol Padden and Tom Humphries have done it again—and readers everywhere should be grateful. Almost twenty years ago, Padden and Humphries helped transform the nascent and promising field of deaf history with their path-breaking and still relevant book, Deaf in America: Voices from a Culture. In their current work, Padden and Humphries further explore formative ‘cultural moments’ in the deaf community—what they describe as the generative ideas and influences that shape how deaf people identify themselves… This book is a valuable exploration of the deaf community. -- Robert M. Buchanan * American Historical Review *What a bold and courageous book! Carol Padden and Tom Humphries shed light on significant moments in the history of the American Deaf community. They show how struggles for power and dominance have run through their experience for more than a century, from coercive methods of teaching language to efforts of modern science to ‘correct’ and possibly even eliminate deafness—and with it, Deaf culture. -- Glenn Anderson, Professor and Director of Training, University of Arkansas Rehabilitation Research & Training Center for Persons Who Are Deaf or Hard of HearingInside Deaf Culture is a valuable addition to the growing collection of historical material about the Deaf community in the United States of America. It will add much to a better understanding of who we Deaf people are. -- Jack Gannon, author of Deaf HeritageWith writing remarkable for its grace, simplicity, and clarity, Padden and Humphries hold Deaf culture before our eyes for many faceted inspection.

Harvard University Press Abducted
Book SynopsisClancy argues that abductees are sane, intelligent people who have unwittingly created vivid false memories from a mélange of nightmares, culturally available texts, and a drive for meaning that science is unable to satisfy. This book is not only a subtle exploration of the workings of memory, but a sensitive inquiry into the nature of belief.Trade ReviewAbducted is an enormously brave, smart, original book. Susan Clancy's innovative study of why and how people come to believe that they've been abducted by aliens has become a gripping read, with keen insight into the emotional and spiritual lives of the 'abductees'--and how easy it is for anyone to remember things that never happened. -- Elizabeth Loftus, past president of the American Psychological Society and author of Eyewitness TestimonyTwenty years ago I was abducted by aliens, or so I thought at the time. Actually, I had just gone without sleep for 83 hours. Now at last Abducted--brilliant, humane, and funny--gives a scientific explanation for how the mind concocts such remarkable experiences as being probed and impregnated by aliens, visiting the mother ship, or traveling to distant planets. Writing with sympathy and understanding for the abductees, Susan Clancy delves into their stories to offer a superb contribution to our understanding of human memory, mental anomalies, and how the mind works. -- Michael Shermer, editor of Skeptic Magazine, and author of Why People Believe Weird ThingsSusan Clancy's book bursts out of the chute right on page one and keeps going at full gallop until the end. It's fabulous! Anyone who thinks that scientists are cold and uncompassionate, or that people who believe they have been abducted by aliens are plain loony, should read this book. With warmth, humor, empathy and eloquence, Clancy illuminates the soul of science--and shows why everyone resists its revelations if they challenge our deepest beliefs. -- Carol Tavris, author of The Mismeasure of Woman and Psychobabble and Biobunk: Using Psychology to Think Critically About Issues in the NewsSusan Clancy's provocative study of the abductee population offers a thoughtful perspective on the spiritual and psychological elements of abduction stories--and is so entertaining that it reads like a novel. -- Elaine Showalter, Professor Emeritus at Princeton University and author of Hystories[Clancy] provide[s] a discussion of current research into memory, emotion and culture that renders abduction stories understandable, if not believable. Although it focuses on abduction memories, the book hints at a larger ambition, to explain the psychology of transformative experiences, whether supposed abductions, conversions or divine visitations. -- Benedict Carey * New York Times *If you're going to read just one book about alien abductions, make it this one. And if you think alien abduction stories aren't worth considering seriously, Clancy will convince you otherwise...Clancy offers an intelligent and compassionate look at people whose 'weird' belief usually elicits derision, and argues convincingly for the need to look deeper into its significance. * Publishers Weekly *Having interviewed dozens of abductees, and found them likeable and honest, Clancy writes about them with compassionate but sceptical understanding...Clancy believes her subjects only in the sense that she believes they think they are telling the truth. And she doesn't abandon her sense of humour. She asks why mentally superior aliens haven't anything better to do than hang around North America stealing our genes. -- Robert Fulford * National Post *In this informal and entertaining report on her research, Clancy shows that the group of abductees she studied in 2002 were more likely to create false memories in the lab and scored high on measures of fantasy-proneness and schizotypy (personality characteristics that include perceptual aberrations and magical thinking). Despite these traits, with one or two exceptions her subjects were what society classifies as normal. She speculates that an abduction memory, though horrific, is ultimately a religious experience that incorporates contact with a higher power, a convenient narrative that provides an explanation for odd personal episodes, and a transformative event that offers a meaning for human existence. -- George Eberhart * Booklist *[A] slim but engaging volume...Believers and sceptics alike have much to learn from this work. -- Stefan Beck * Fortean Times *[Clancy] describes not only what she has learned about the psychology of this bizarre phenomenon but also what she has learned about herself carrying out her research. Her book is a delight. -- Chris French * New Scientist *In this remarkable study of people who believe they've been carried off by little green men, Clancy's subjects are memory, personality and truth as each individual experiences it. Even if the idea of alien abduction is absurd, you will find her work fascinating and revealing. -- Clare McHugh * Baltimore Sun *The study of this belief [that one has been abducted by aliens], unshakable in most cases, leads Ms. Clancy to make some compelling observations about recovered memory, fear, science, faith, reason, the human condition and, inevitably, aliens...Alien abduction is clearly a maddening phenomenon. Nevertheless, Ms. Clancy soldiered on--for the benefit of science, the subjects and now her readers. And apart from some brisk and debatable observations about religion that pop up at the end, she has done all a service. This book is something else. -- Carol Herman * Washington Times *[A] snappy study. -- Amanda Heller * Boston Globe *Clancy is a skeptic who mounts a strong case for terrestrial rather than extraterrestrial explanations, but she does so while maintaining a steadfast compassion for her subjects. The story is told with great humor, often at the author's expense as she finds herself in unlikely predicaments. Despite these lighter moments, Clancy never loses sight of the serious questions raised by the alien abduction phenomenon, nor does she waver in her respect for the abductees. Having concluded that these people are not dismissible as ignorant or crazy, she is left with a more unsettling truth: under the right circumstances, normal people can come to hold very bizarre beliefs...Susan Clancy's study of alien abductees is a natural experiment that explores the outer limits of human belief and serves as a useful reminder of the importance of scientific thinking. -- Stuart Vyse * Science *This intriguing book should appeal to the 85 percent of Americans who believe in ET, while the rest of us will find it equally fascinating that ordinary people can believe such extraordinary things. -- Ros Smith * Charleston Post and Courier *Clancy focuses not on whether her subjects were actually abducted but on why they believe they were. * Science News *If one reads only one book on the subject of alien abductions and nighttime visits from extraterrestrials, it should probably be Abducted. Susan Clancy, a Harvard psychologist with the understanding ear of a bartender and the clear eye of a scientist, treats the subject frankly, fearlessly, intelligently, honestly and sometimes humorously. She avoids both the hysteria of believers out to prove that aliens visit our planet and the dismissiveness of skeptics who know they don't. -- Alcestis Oberg * Houston Chronicle *[An] engaging book...It provides fascinating accounts of the way abductees use evidence in their reasoning, the effects of relaxation therapy and hypnosis in creating false memories and the importance of TV shows, films and books in creating the myth of the grey alien...Clancy writes in an easy-going and engaging way, describing the processes and the ups and downs of her research as well as her findings. This is a fun, readable and informative book that helps explain how and why alien abduction has become such a powerful myth. -- Susan Blackmore * Times Higher Education Supplement *This fascinating book takes a respectful stance with those who believe they were abducted and attempts to understand their experience through thoughtful analysis. In doing so, Clancy brings a needed scientific perspective to a subject that is usually the domain of tabloids and science fiction dramas. -- Robin A. Chapman * American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis *In Abducted, [Clancy] describes how patients with a variety of vague and confusing symptoms, such as recurrent nightmares and sleep paralysis, found reports of alien abduction an interesting possible explanation for their troubles and were brought to believe in it through treatments that included hypnosis. Many of these patients, it turned out, were pleased by what they came to believe. Being abducted by aliens, they thought, meant that they were “chosen” or “privileged” as human representatives. -- Paul McHugh * Wall Street Journal *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Harvard University Press Curious Behavior
Book SynopsisRobert Provine boldly goes where other scientists seldom treadin search of hiccups, coughs, yawns, sneezes, and other lowly, undignified human behaviors. Upon investigation, these instinctive acts bear the imprint of our evolutionary origins and can be uniquely valuable tools for understanding how the human brain works and what makes us different from other species. Many activities showcased in Curious Behavior are contagious, but none surpasses yawning in this regardjust reading the word can make one succumb. Though we often take it as a sign of sleepiness or boredom, yawning holds clues to the development of our sociality and ability to empathize with others. Its inescapable transmission reminds us that we are sometimes unaware, neurologically programmed beasts of the herd. Other neglected behaviors yield similar revelations. Tickling, we learn, may be the key to programming personhood into robots. Coughing comes in musical, medical, and social varieties. Farting and belching have Trade ReviewIn this charmingly written and profoundly informative book, Provine gives us what he calls ‘sidewalk’ neuroscience, a ‘scientific approach to everyday behavior based on simple observations and demonstrations that readers, even advanced grade-schoolers, can use to confirm, challenge, or extend the reported findings.’ In this era of ‘neurorealism,’ where much of the public believes you aren’t doing real science if you aren’t using fMRI to scan some brains, Provine’s work in ‘small science’ is refreshing. ‘The Small Science of this book is “small,”’ he explains, not because it is trivial but because it does not require ‘fancy equipment and a big budget.’ Small science teaches the art of observation and methods of interpretation: ‘Everyday life is teeming with the important and unexpected, if you know where to look and how to see.’ This message alone is worth the price of admission… Provine romps through the range of ‘curious behaviors’ of his title, with each chapter offering up enlightening and unexpected findings… [A] marvelous book… ‘Small science’ at its best. -- Carol Tavris * Wall Street Journal *[Provine] is a valiant man and this is an original book: a book about people’s quirks and the uncomfortable noises that we have suppressed, particularly after Victorian times. Why would someone study those seemingly uninteresting and inappropriate acts? I would say the answer lies in the questions this neuroscientist has asked himself: why do we burp or sneeze? What is a cough? What has really gone with the wind? Well, you don’t really know—and you won’t until you read Curious Behavior… This disarmingly enchanting book manages to ‘handle’ even flatulence in the most skillful and scientific manner without ever losing focus on Provine’s aim: an accurate description of the topic via a look at mechanisms, evolutionary advantages, limits and statistics… Prepare to be contaminated by this book and get ready to analyze the way you sneeze, cough and everything else. -- Tristan Bekinschtein * Times Higher Education *With its many facts and anecdotes and unexpected stories, [Curious Behavior] begs you to continue where curiosity leads you, down both the boulevards and the back alleys of science. And that is exactly how [Provine] thinks science should be pursued. -- James Gorman * New York Times *Why do we yawn, tickle, laugh, cough, scratch, sneeze, hiccup, vomit, or cry? Over the years, Provine has investigated these and other behaviors in the lab and on the street, and the result is beautifully written and constantly surprising. -- Steven Poole * The Guardian *How can farting, sneezing and other marginal biological realities illuminate humanness? Neuroscientist Robert Provine turns an evolutionary lens on everything from the gross to the faintly improper. The ‘contagiousness’ of yawning, for instance, hints at the roots of empathy and herd behavior. Burping and farting were involved in the development of speech, says Provine. And tickling may play a part in our early understanding that we are distinct beings (you can’t tickle yourself). An exercise in ‘small science’—some of it speculative, all of it fascinating. * Nature *In Curious Behavior, neuroscientist Robert Provine discusses common yet seemingly strange actions, such as crying, tickling and yawning—subjects often overlooked by science. Beyond explaining how each of these actions work anatomically, Provine explores their functions, similarities and whether they might be linked by some higher, social purpose… Follow his advice, and Curious Behavior will leave you trying to yawn with clenched teeth, sneeze with your eyes open and noticing just how often you laugh at things that really aren’t funny. -- Jessica Hamzelou * New Scientist *In this engrossing account of some curious physiological behaviors, neuroscientist Robert Provine not only describes the biologic basis for some curious human actions such as laughing, itching, hiccuping, vomiting, coughing, sneezing and several more curiosities, he also describes the experiments performed to clarify these sometimes embarrassing operations… Fascinating descriptions and explanations about human behavior oddities are candidly presented with added whimsy for sweetening. Suitable for all ages, it’s the sort of a book on quirky embarrassing behaviors that you observed and performed, but were too afraid to talk about. -- Aron Row * Sacramento Book Review *Provine has written a charming ode to ‘Small Science’—science that does not require a large budget or fancy equipment but that is interesting nonetheless. Taking examples from his own research, some of which involved nothing more complicated than stalking graduate students and observing how and when they laugh, he explains the origins of some of the most prevalent, but often overlooked, human behaviors. -- Anna Kuchment * Scientific American *In Curious Behavior, Robert Provine provides clear, entertaining, and (most importantly) data-driven accounts of familiar yet overlooked human quirks. These include yawning, laughing, crying, tears, coughing, sneezing, hiccupping, vomiting and nausea, tickling, itching and scratching, farting and belching, and finally prenatal behavior. If you think you know when and why you laugh, what makes a face look sad, or why people yawn, you’re probably in for a surprise… Written with humor and wit, Curious Behavior is an accessible and entertaining read with its musings about the theoretical Doomsday yawn, ineffectual astronaut tears, and the social implications of coughing and laughter. But it is also serious science about the importance of defining stimuli, using specific language, and understanding the difference between what people think they do, and what they actually do. The book may provide new windows into autistic behaviors, schizophrenia, and the definition of self… In a world where there is an increasing gulf between the public and scientists, Provine leads by example with straightforward science communication… This book is a must-have for any connoisseur of human behavior, whether studying in a classroom or from a barstool. -- Kenneth C. Catania * The Scientist *Readers will enjoy the stories and find the glimpses into the neuroscience of these curious behaviors engaging. -- K. S. Milar * Choice *Do you think that each of the behaviors covered here is merely a randomly eccentric human quirk? Think again. For each of these odd functions, Provine dexterously combines wit, a fine way with words, and precise scientific context, to show us the evolutionary reason behind it… This is a delectable presentation for all who love the territory between pop and hardcore science writing. Highly recommended. -- Margaret Heilbrun * Library Journal *The book provides a not-yet definitive, but often fascinating, take on our most curious behaviors. * Publishers Weekly *Robert Provine shows how the methods of sidewalk neuroscience (simple and cheap observations of everyday life that everyone can do) can give rise to an alternative science of psychology. This is a delight to read, fascinating and humane and very often funny. -- Paul Bloom, Yale University, author of How Pleasure WorksCurious Behavior offers a lively and often surprising look at all the different ways we sneeze, cough, yawn, and broadcast other bodily functions. Open this book, which is based on serious research but reads like a detective novel, and find out how much more there is to such behavior than you ever thought. -- Frans de Waal, Emory University, author of The Age of EmpathyA lively and entertaining romp through the quirks and oddities of the least controllable of human behaviors. The writing style and topics are so provocative, one is hard pressed not to enact these behaviors while reading. -- Rachel Herz, Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Brown University, author of That’s DisgustingWhy do we laugh? Why do we yawn? Why do we cry? What is itch? Finally, here is a book that addresses these age-old issues! Provine, the leading researcher of such phenomena, discovers the extraordinary hidden in plain sight. It’s a joy to read. -- James W. Kalat, North Carolina State University, author of Biological Psychology (11th ed.)The indefatigably curious Robert Provine explores the little quirks of behavior that—so far—have fascinated everyone but the scientists, and in doing so illuminates many aspects of our social lives, inner lives, and evolutionary origins. -- Steven Pinker, Harvard College Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, author of How the Mind Works and The Better Angels of Our NatureIn this marvelous book, Provine—a pioneer in the field—puts these phenomena in proper evolutionary contexts, arguing that such seemingly odd quirks can often illuminate our understanding of human nature. -- V.

Harvard University Press Alien Landscapes
Book SynopsisDo people with mental disorders share enough psychology with other people to make human interpretation possible? Jonathan Glover tackles the hard cases—violent criminals, people with delusions, autism, schizophrenia—to answer affirmatively. He offers values linked with agency and identity to guide how the boundaries of psychiatry should be drawn.Trade Review[An] interesting and readable book, the professed aims of which are to make mental health patients seem less alien and to emphasize the role of the humane and the humanities in psychiatry… Admirable. -- Iain McGilchrist * Literary Review *A wide-ranging philosophical investigation of psychology and a psychological examination of philosophy. -- Jonathon Keats * New Scientist *A searching, humane look at the lives of the mentally ill, whose inner worlds can be alien landscapes indeed. Examining a population of hospitalized patients in Britain, ethicist Glover asks whether it is true that people who suffer from anti‐social disorders are truly without conscience or whether it might not be that their moral world simply maps onto different territory from other people’s—an important distinction in considering such things as the ability to recognize right from wrong and accept responsibility for one’s actions. * Kirkus Reviews *Glover attempts a close encounter of the intellectual kind as he probes the ethical aspects of mental disorders and opens up new terrain in an age‐old discussion. Responding to the long‐standing discord between humanist and scientific perspectives on mental illness—an imbalance that consistently favors science—Glover aims to restore humanist views to the discussion through a sensitive examination of art, literature, and, perhaps most noteworthy, interviews with people who have mental disorders… For the philosophically inclined, Glover’s exploration will prove to be an exciting and informative text. * Publishers Weekly *A great read, and genuinely illuminating on the inner lives of patients with disorders, and their implications for responsibility and identity. This book is for all of us who have had the impulse to write off someone as ‘crazy,’ meaning: there isn’t any point in trying to engage or understand what’s going on with this person. This is a timely and well-crafted book. -- John Campbell, University of California, BerkeleyThis book should become a classic in the study of philosophy and psychiatry. The lucidity of the writing makes it, at once, profound and accessible. While acknowledging the substantial contribution of the biological sciences to our understanding of unusual mental states, Glover explores in depth how far an observer can make sense of—or ‘interpret’—them. The implications for how we might think about ‘values,’ ‘identity,’ ‘agency,’ the boundaries of ‘illness,’ and treatment are most richly drawn. -- George Szmukler, King’s College London

Harvard University Press Dispatches from the Freud Wars
Book SynopsisThe noted historian and philosopher of science John Forrester raises a provocative point: no matter how you feel about Freud, you can't escape the influence of his theories. Through questions central to our century's ways of thinking, Forrester explores dreams, history, ethics, political theory, and psychoanalysis as a scientific movement.Trade ReviewWhere Forrester hits the mark is his insight on the passionate intensity of the battles between Freud and his critics, and the analogy he makes between this struggle and the one between analyst and his or her patient. It may be possible, in fact, to read the entire commentary on Freud as that between analysand and analyst, all projecting part of their shadow onto Freud and struggling in the trenches of transference and countertransference. It is to Forrester's credit that he sees this and shows it to us in this provocative book. -- Claire Douglas * Washington Post Book World *[This book, along with Truth Games]…present[s] a series of eight wide-ranging but interconnected essays. Taken as an ensemble, they deal with the history of psychoanalysis, redefinitions of psychoanalysis and what it means to be a Freudian, psychoanalytic readings of contemporary cultural issues, discussions of the scientific status of psychoanalysis and an impassioned defence of psychoanalysis…The essays are elegantly written, and open up a number of new perspectives on these issues, as well as putting forward new formulations of more familiar ones…Anyone interested in the history of psychoanalysis and the cultural location of psychoanalysis today is likely to find these essays stimulating, engaging and inviting of dialogue. -- Sonu Shamdasani * Medical History *Dispatches from the Freud Wars is compulsively readable, a revision of Freud's life and thought, brilliantly written, full of enticing detail. -- A.S. Byatt * The Sunday Times *An expert at the shifting sands of philosophical argument, Forrester continually undercuts the grounds of the varieties of criticisms aimed at psychoanalytic theory, technique and cultural significance. Love him or hate him, Forrester rightly insists, we cannot pretend that Freud did not exist, and that his extensive writings have not permanently influenced the 20th century's received views on human nature, hermeneutics and the nature of scientific inquiry...To a large extent then, this a book about reading Freud, rhetorically structured so that the final charges of misreading leveled against such critics of psychoanalysis as Frederick Crews and Adolph Grünbaum ring convincing and true. Forrester's accomplishment here is to deflect the accusations of psychoanalysis as pseudo-science back onto the accusers, who do not understand that psychoanalysis is not, and never was intended to be, rocket science. -- Renée Kingcaid * Psychoanalytic Studies *Freud could hardly have a doughtier champion. Forrester's writerly and polemical skills are impressive, and make for an utterly fascinating book. -- A. C. Grayling * Financial Times *John Forrester is well known for his translations of Lacan and for his books on psychoanalysis. This excellent collection of essays is elegantly readable. The title essay presents a measured, reasonable defense of Freud which neither conceals his flaws nor blackens his character. -- Anthony Storr * The Times *Forrester, interestingly, uses Freud's thinking to reconsider such subjects as the links between envy and justice, and the nature of discretion as opposed to transgression...[His] book is consistently challenging. -- Paul Roazen * Globe & Mail *Here there are excellent essays on Freud's lurid relationship with Sandor Ferenczi, and on Freud the collector of antiquities. -- Justin Wintle * The Independent *Although there were many reasons for thinking that the complacencies of the American psychoanalytic establishment deserved a thorough shaking-up, it is disconcerting that an impression may be now abroad that psychoanalysis deserved to be seen as junk science. On this score Forrester is, in my opinion, on the side of the angels. He takes Freud seriously as a figure within intellectual history, and in the last chapter of this book Forrester tries to deal with criticisms...Forrester rightly sees Freud as part of the Western moral thought, a thinker whose ethical practices and preachings deserve close scrutiny. -- Paul Roazen * Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences *[These] six long, probing essays on Freudian psychoanalysis and its cultural legacy...stand in welcome contrast to some of the recent facile debunkings of Freudianism. Forrester...writes on topics ranging from justice and envy to the deeper meaning of the sculptures and other objects from classical antiquity that Freud collected. He is particularly adept at making cross-cultural and interdisciplinary links...The great merit of Forrester's book is that it takes both Freud and his critics seriously. The author is both rigorous about classical psychoanalysis's limitations and deeply respectful of its enormous contributions to our culture and specifically our understanding of the self. He has made a profound, sometimes scintillating, contribution to the history of this most multifaceted science and craft. * Kirkus Reviews *John Forrester's Dispatches from the Freud Wars is also compulsively readable, a revision of Freud's life and thought, brilliantly written, full of enticing detail. -- A.S. Byatt * Sunday Times *John Forrester's Dispatches from the Freud Wars is a fascinating discussion of why Freud, unlike Marx--at the moment--won't leave us alone and how much of our thinking is impossible without his ideas. Freud's most vehement critics prove repeatedly that ours is his century. -- Hanif Kureishi * The Observer *Refreshingly, John Forrester wagers 'that the more we know about Freud--the more one has unlearned what one was hardwired to know about him--the more interesting and surprising and thought-provoking he becomes.' Your Freudian education could begin here. * The Guardian *In his stimulating analysis, the author brings to bear an impressive array of thinkers: St. Augustine, Nietzsche, Lacan, Ferenczi, Rawls, Crews, Sulloway, and Derrida, among many others. The scope, clarity, and constrained passion of the present study place it among the outstanding works on the subject for scholars and serious lay readers. * Library Journal *Forrester's essays are scholarly, engagingly presented, original and often humorous. His style, which becomes characteristic essay to essay, is to present an anecdote, a quotation, an observation, and then to develop it outwards, in concentric circles of meaning, which become richer and more complex as they proceed. -- Bernard M. Edelstein, M.D., Beth Israel Hospital, Harvard Medical SchoolForrester is already well known as the author of Language and the Origins of Psychoanalysis (1980) and The Seductions of Psychoanalysis (1990), as the co-author of Freud's Women (1992), and as the translator and editor of key volumes from Lacan's Seminar. This latest collection of essays finds Forrester in top form. It extends and diversifies his earlier writings in important ways and brings him to the forefront of contemporary debates on the standing of psychoanalysis. It is of course easy to talk about the Freudian inheritance nowadays--being able to do so is one of the entry requirements to the smart set and to an entire spectrum of academic and semipopular journals. Forrester's voice rises clear of this metropolitan hubbub: he is an outstanding Freud scholar who brings a scrupulous sense of history to everything he does. Dispatches from the Freud Wars is likely to command a very wide readership and to be massively influential in the current psychoanalytic debate. -- Malcolm Bowie, University of OxfordJohn Forrester...has seen that the reactions to Freud are themselves an interesting commentary on our culture as a whole. His latest book consists of six essays on Freud and his effects, focusing on the various kinds of reactions to and interpretations of him. While by no means an unqualified admirer, he assumes that Freud is a supremely important figure in the twentieth-century's attempt to understand itself...I enjoyed this book; it is written in a vigorous, discursive style, provocative and illuminating...It is nice to be reminded by this book that psychoanalytic ideas exist in a wider zeitgeist, and are there not just to be worked with, but also to be played with. -- Susan Budd * International Journal of Psycho-Analysis *This volume delves into the heart of the current Freud debates. As an erudite scholar from the department of History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge University, Forrester brings impeccable credentials to his exegesis. -- George Hough, Ph.D * Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic *For the lay reader Dispatches from the Freud Wars is not an easy read, but it is one bound to leave us rethinking the most pervasive and commonplace aspects of our daily lives and surrounding communities. John Forrester's breadth of knowledge is admirable--astonishing, really. And he does succeed in realigning our vision, clarifying an epoch by confronting us with perspectives that shift from dazzlingly wide to uncomfortably narrow...Taken together, the essays comprise a multi-faceted approach to Freud, a man not to be approached in any simple or narrow manner, as Forrester makes abundantly clear. -- Elizabeth Templeman * Southern Humanities Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction Justice, Envy, and Psychoanalysis Casualities of Truth Collector, Naturalist, Surrealist Dream Readers "A Whole Climate of Opinion" Dispatches from the Freud Wars Epilogue Abbreviations Notes Acknowledgments Index

Harvard University Press Memory Distortion
Book SynopsisHypnosis, confabulation, source amnesia, flashbulb memories, repressionthese and other topics are explored in this collection of essays by eminent scholars in cognitive psychology, psychopathology, psychiatry, neurobiology, sociology, history, and religious studies.Trade ReviewThis is a particularly timely book that compiles the presentations from a 1994 conference sponsored by the Harvard Center for the Study of Mind, Brain, and Behavior. The uniqueness of this volume comes from the diversity of its contributors. It brings together neurobiological, cognitive, psychiatric, neuropsychological, and sociocultural perspectives on the issue of memory distortion. The fundamental theme running through this book is that remembering is a process of reconstruction...The volume competently demonstrates that mind-brain sciences have progressed to a level where scientists of differing ilk may each proffer a different level of analysis...and yet have a meaningful dialogue. -- Shitij Kapur, M.D. * American Journal of Psychiatry *We owe much to Daniel Schacter for tackling head-on the question of the fallibility of memories. Schacter and colleagues have chosen a challenging interdisciplinary format to present essays on the increasingly controversial topic of memory distortion. This collection of essays emerged from a conference and subsequent discussion groups described as an 'interface between disciplines'. This description embodies the tone of Memory Distortion, which takes on the format of a congenial but lively debate among colleagues. -- Mark W. Jacobson and Dean C. Delis * Contemporary Psychology *Human memory [is not] like a photograph album, a collection of cassettes, compact discs or videos or any other accumulative archive of the past. Rather, memories are fragmentary, condensed, often distorted and inaccurate representations of past experience. This point is made in impressive detail by all the contributors to this excellent collection of essays on memory distortion...Memory Distortion provides an outstanding multidisciplinary perspective on memory accuracy, ranging from cognitive psychology through psychiatry, neuropsychology and neurobiology, to sociocultural analyses. -- Martin A. Conway * Nature *This is a superb collection of chapters, which covers an impressive and wide range of topics related to memory distortion...[E]xploring this phenomenon at many levels is absolutely crucial...[and] I recommend the book to everyone with an interest in normal and pathological distortion. -- Lars Nyberg * European Journal of Cognitive Psychology *Table of ContentsPreface Gerald D.

Harvard University Press Relational Concepts in Psychoanalysis an
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewReaders will find Mitchell to be a persuasive advocate for the centrality of relational thinking in psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice… Thought-provoking… As an added bonus, Mitchell writes very well, and his use of metaphor and wit make this book a pleasure to read. -- Saul E. Rosenberg, Ph.D. * American Journal of Psychiatry *This is a marvellous book. Mitchell argues that over the past few decades psychoanalysis has undergone a paradigm shift. The change is nothing short of a revolution in thought which radically alters our understanding of the mind and human relationships… Mitchell is a persuasive writer who skillfully draws together the central ideas from object relations theory, interpersonal psychoanalysis and the self-psychologies. He argues that despite their many differences these ‘newer’ traditions have one central theme in common—they all stress the central importance of personal relationships and human interaction. In this new paradigm the focus of psychoanalytic study shifts away from the vicissitudes of the instincts to persons in their interactions with others… The book is scholarly and informative, but yet it is readable, and enjoyably so. Mitchell does a wonderful job in bringing together the relational concepts embedded in the work of Bowlby, Klein, Winnicott, Fairbairn, Kohut, and others. Brought together in this way, the case against Freud’s drive theory seems impressively self-evident… This is an excellent book which brings together the relational concepts that now characterise psychotherapy. This is the leading edge of psychoanalysis, and Mitchell’s work certainly helps it to advance. -- C. R. Whyte * British Journal of Psychiatry *Brilliant… The gradual unfolding of Mitchell’s new theory is accomplished through a dazzling series of thoughtful and penetrating critiques and integrations of psychoanalytic theorizing past and present. Mitchell is extraordinarily well read in psychoanalytic theory, and he has a wide grasp of philosophy, political theory, and literature as well. He writes with clarity and wit, making a long, largely theoretical book as easy to read as any. His text will be an important source of useful ideas and criticism for the continuing development of psychoanalytic theory. The opportunity to share in his wide and searching understanding should not be missed by anyone interested in the field. -- Robert L. Hatcher, Ph.D. * Psychoanalytic Books *A well-written, incisive, and very intelligent effort at integrating compatible aspects of the many neo-Freudian psychoanalytic theorists e.g., Sullivan, Klein, Winnicott, Loewald, Schafer, Kohut, Kernberg, Gedo, and Pine… Importantly, [Mitchell] shows how far modern analytic theory has departed from Freud’s original instinctual drive theory… His work is a contemporary beacon in the tumultuous seas of psychological thought since Freud. Essential reading. * Choice *This important work is an articulate and incisive elaboration of what the author considers to be a fundamental paradigm shift in psychoanalysis, from a superseded drive psychology to an interactional psychology embedded in a relational matrix which he argues is shared in common by a diversity of current perspectives—the object relational, the interpersonal, the Kleinian, and the self psychological. His thesis is that the conception of the object-relational matrix which these various newer theoretical perspectives share, despite all their differences in emphasis and in implementation, provides a more elegant and satisfying explanatory framework for the clinical phenomena of psychoanalysis than does Freud’s original drive psychology paradigm, which can now be respectfully retired. Many will disagree, and very sharply; I think all will profit from reading this carefully reasoned argument. -- Robert S. Wallerstein, M.D.Table of ContentsIntroduction Part One Boundaries 1.

Harvard University Press Research Interviewing
Book SynopsisMishler presents a powerful critique of current views on research interviewing, and offers a new approach. He sees traditional interviewing as suppressing discourse and argues that an interview is actually a type of narrative in which respondents should have a more extensive role as participants and collaborators.Trade ReviewA splendid book. Mishler offers fresh and original insights that are firmly grounded in theory and practice. -- Frederick Erickson, University of PennsylvaniaThe book is superb. The best statement of the narrative position to date in the social sciences. -- Bertram J. Cohler, University of ChicagoA passionate argument for replacing the survey interview with a different model: the uninterrupted narrative flow to be analyzed as text. -- Howard Schuman * Contemporary Psychology *Mishler raises issues that need to be addressed by survey researchers regardless of their specialization… [Research Interviewing] will be of particular interest to those who use surveys as a method of studying major life events: family relationships, factors relating to the quality of life, impact of health events, major economic or political issues and their impacts, factors in the work life, etc. The objective of these interviews is not to generate descriptive statistics but to understand and interpret significant factors of the individual’s experiences and reactions. -- Charles Cannell * Public Opinion Quarterly *An important contribution to the understanding of how alternative methods for analyzing interview data can produce useful insights. -- Gerald L. Wilson * Quarterly Journal of Speech *Mishler shows both his familiarity with survey research and his sophistication… [He] builds a powerful argument… Since his book pulls together several major methodological issues, it will receive a welcome among qualitative sociologists. It is a major contribution to the literature on methods. -- Kathy Charmaz * American Journal of Sociology *Those working at the state of the art…will find an eclectic, sophisticated and humane argument which should broaden not only their horizons but those of the unreconstructed standard practitioner. -- Nigel Fielding * British Journal of Psychology *[An] important book that examines the social and behavioral science research interview method. Mishler argues that although we recognize the interview as a dialogic speech event, interviews are rarely permitted to function as discourse. The book instructs readers on how interviews can be analyzed and interpreted as narratives; it offers alternative methods to the standard interviewing techniques. -- Bruce A. Austin * Communication Booknotes *This book continues an important discussion on meaning and construction of meaning in research interviews in the social sciences… Research Interviewing will be of interest to those who are concerned with the politics of research, as well as to those producers or consumers of social science research who are considering the use of interviews. * Harvard Educational Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction Problems of the Research Interview 1.

Harvard University Press A Source Book in the History of Psychology
Book SynopsisThis is a source book unique in its scope, clarity, and general interest. Its 116 excerpts range in time from Epicurus (ca. 300 B.C.) to the turn of the twentieth century and sometimes, when continuity requires, a little beyond (as to K. S. Lashley, 1929). It includes excerpts from Kepler (1604) on the inverted retinal image, Descartes (1650) on the soul's interaction with the machine of the body, Newton (1675) on the seven colors of the spectrum, Locke (1700) on association of ideas, Whytt (1751) on the spinal reflex, Weber (1834) on Weber's law, Darwin (1859) on evolution, Sechenov (1863) on reflexology, Hughlings Jackson (1884) on nervous dissolution, William James (1890) on associationism, Thorndike, Pavlov, Wertheimer, Watson, and 70 other great figures in the history of psychology. Arranged by topic rather than in the usual strict chronological order, each of the first fourteen chapters traces the development of one important subject in experimental and quantitative psychology. The final chapter discusses the history of thinking about the nature of psychology itself. The editors provide an introduction to each chapter and each excerpt, indicating the significance of the content to follow and establishing historical continuity.Trade ReviewMore than a quarter of the articles are translated into English for the first time. A fine, well-balanced contribution to the history of psychology. * Scientific American *This is without any question the best, and perhaps the only really good, selection of primary material relevant to the history of experimental psychology… The principal translators, Mollie D. Boring and Don Cantor, should share with the editors the credit for an important job very well done. * Science *The history of psychology contains magic names. Important passages from many of them are reprinted in this book, which is really a compendium of ideas for research; for one has the uncomfortable feeling when reading it that there are hints whose import one does not yet recognize. * British Journal of Psychology *An excellent job of judicious compression has been practised without losing the meaning and the flavour of the original… In each case the passage quoted has had a formative influence on the history of the subject… This is a fascinating book. * Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology *This is an exceptional compilation… Not only does it provide students with selections from important sources which they almost certainly would not otherwise read, but it whets the appetite to search further in the early literature of many topics of contemporary psychological interest… This book is an admirable collection which does great credit to the judgment of its editors…this book embodies intellectual standards not always upheld in the subject today. * Times Literary Supplement *Table of ContentsPART I: SENSORY SPECIFICATION * Aristotle on the Five Senses, ca. 350 BCE * Isaac Newton on the Seven Colors of the Spectrum, 1675 *

She provides not only a sophisticated how-to guide for writers but—for all readers—a new appreciation of the pleasures of being had.Trade Review[An] excellent book…Tobin reveals valuable truths about the stories we tell to entertain each other, and those we tell ourselves to get by, and how they are related. -- Simon Ings * New Scientist *Plot twists can jolt us into an understanding of fiction’s deeper meaning.

She looks methodically under the hoods of various cognitive theories of memory, perception, and narrative linguistics…The book should be read by writers who want to improve their craft and readers/viewers who want to understand their own responses to such narratives…The better we understand what makes certain features of a narrative work well, the more it can deepen both our reading and writing enjoyment. -- Jenny Bhatt * PopMatters *This book is likely to be the defining standard book in cognitive literary studies for at least the next decade. -- Blakey Vermeule, Stanford UniversityThis is a work of major importance, perhaps the best one yet on the psychology of narrative and on what narrative can offer psychology.

Jung had its bright beginning in 1906 and came to its embittered end in 1913. It disatrous course was charted by the many letters the two men wrote each other... As [the book] bears upon the personal lives of the men between whom the letters passed and upon the intellectual history of our epoch, it is a document of inestimable importance."--Lionel Trilling, The New York Times Book Review

Book SynopsisShows us how human behaviors in open markets like eBay can be substantially more complex than those predicted by standard economic theory. This book reveals practical auction strategies and introduces readers to the fundamentals of auction theory and the mathematics behind eBay. It is suitable for sophisticated users of online auctions.Trade Review"The book does a lot more than just explain why eBay works the way it does, however. As promised in the subtitle, Steiglitz also explores the quirks of human behavior in auctions, both on eBay and elsewhere, which have as much to do with psychology as with brute economic logic... Steiglitz's book is an admirable achievement: a short, readable account of the economic theory of auctions that doesn't pound the reader into stupefaction with equations or some of the other dry-as-bones notions economists often invoke."--Mark Buchanan, New Scientist "In this interesting, well-written book, Steiglitz summarizes the basic literature on auction theory, with particular emphasis on eBay auctions...It will...be of interest to anyone who wants a basic introduction to auction theory or who uses eBay."--D.F. Sheets, Choice "What Steiglitz does well is discuss the quirks of eBay. He himself is a regular user and this allows him to comment with some authority upon the many different patters of observed behaviour...This is an interesting book, providing a fascinating insight from an important real-world auction market, and this will provide motivation to delve deeper into the subject to many a non-expert reader."--Mark Williams, The Business Economist "General readers interested in either behavioral economics in general, or auction behavior in particular, will find Snipers, Shills, and Sharks to be entertaining and informative read. Naive users of eBay will find it particularly useful since, as Steiglitz points out, many otherwise well-educated and informed people do not truly understand how the system works."--Sarah Boslaugh, MAA ReviewsTable of ContentsPreface xiii To the general reader xiii To students and course instructors xiv Synopsis xv Acknowledgments xix Chapter One: English and Vickrey Auctions 1 1.1 Auctions 1 1.2 A Brief History 5 1.3 English Auctions 8 1.4 Variations on the English Theme 10 1.5 Truthful Bidding is Dominant in (Japanese Button) English Auctions 12 1.6 Sealed-bid Second-Price (Vickrey) Auctions 14 1.7 Mail-bid Auctions 16 1.8 Weak Strategic Equivalence of (Japanese button) English and Vickrey Auctions 17 1.9 The Four Standard Auctions and Why They Are Two Pairs 18 1.10 Disincentives to truthful bidding 21 1.11 Questions 22 Chapter Two: From Vickrey to eBay 25 2.1 eBay as an Evolutionary Product of Vickrey: The California Auction 25 2.2 Other Online Auction Rules 28 2.3 eBay <> Vickrey 30 2.4 Summary 32 2.5 Questions 32 Chapter Three: eBay Strategies Observed 34 3.1 Some Bidding Histories 34 3.1.1 Start and End Clustering, Snipers 34 3.1.2 A Bidding War 36 3.1.3 An Early Bidder and Her Fate 38 3.2 "Enter Your Maximum, Then Sit Back and Watch!" 39 3.3 Good Reasons to Snipe 40 3.4 Other (Generally Good) Reasons to Snipe 43 3.4.1 Bidding Wars, Response to Incremental Bidding 43 3.4.2 Implicit Collusion 44 3.4.3 Nonstrategic Reasons to Bid Late 45 3.5 Some (Questionable) Reasons to Bid Early 46 3.5.1 Uncertain Values and the Cost of Discovery 46 3.5.2 Scaring Away Competition 47 3.5.3 Nonstrategic Reasons to Bid Early 50 3.6 On Balance, Snipe 51 3.7 Seller Choices 51 3.7.1 Opening Bid 52 3.7.2 Use of a Secret Reserve 54 3.7.3 Use of the Buy-It-Now Option 56 3.7.4 Other Seller Choices 57 3.8 The Next Three Chapters 60 3.9 Questions 61 Chapter Four: What If eBay Were First-Price?

Princeton University Press Freud the Reluctant Philosopher
Book SynopsisFreud began university intending to study both medicine and philosophy. But he was ambivalent about philosophy, regarding it as metaphysical, too limited to the conscious mind, and ignorant of empirical knowledge. Yet his private correspondence and his writings on culture and history reveal that he never forsook his original philosophical ambitions. Indeed, while Freud remained firmly committed to positivist ideals, his thought was permeated with other aspects of German philosophy. Placed in dialogue with his intellectual contemporaries, Freud appears as a reluctant philosopher who failed to recognize his own metaphysical commitments, thereby crippling the defense of his theory and misrepresenting his true achievement. Recasting Freud as an inspired humanist and reconceiving psychoanalysis as a form of moral inquiry, Alfred Tauber argues that Freudianism still offers a rich approach to self-inquiry, one that reaffirms the enduring task of philosophy and many of the abiding ethical vTrade Review"Tauber's patient exposition of Freud's suppressed philosophical heritage becomes a tour de force when he turns back beyond Schopenhauer to Kant."--Lesley Chamberlain, New Statesman "The main focus is Freud as an ethical and social thinker who, while drawing on multiple sources of classical humanism, prepares the way for a new humanism informed by the insights of psychoanalysis. Tauber offers important chapters devoted to the intellectual ferment of 19th-century German philosophy and its influence on Freud."--Choice "Tauber provides a scholarly exposition, and the book is helpful for appreciating the diverse background influences on Freud's thinking. Furthermore, Tauber also clearly has an exhaustive knowledge of Freud's writing and is well read with respect to contemporary philosophically oriented psychoanalytic writers."--Simon Boag, PsycCRITIQUES "I feel a great deal of sympathy towards Tauber's project, and his analysis is rich, interesting and engaged."--Johan Eriksson, Scandinavian Psychoanalytic Review "[A] tour de force."--Elisabeth Young-Breuhl, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association "This is an attractively written and deeply illuminating study of Freud as moral philosopher... This book goes a long way to explain the positive side of the continued interest and, indeed, to explain why Freud will continue to fascinate, leaving far behind by-now stale debate about whether or not he created a science."--Roger Smith, British Journal for the History of Science "Freud, the Reluctant Philosopher is an erudite, thoughtful and challenging book, which amply repays the investment of working through it."--Daphna Erdinast-Vulcan, European LegacyTable of ContentsPreface xi Acknowledgments xix Introduction: Psychoanalysis as Philosophy 1 Chapter One: The Challenge (and Stigma) of Philosophy 24 Chapter Two: Distinguishing Reasons and Causes 54 Chapter Three: Storms over Konigsberg 85 Chapter Four: The Paradox of Freedom 116 Chapter Five: The Odd Triangle: Kant, Nietzsche, and Freud 146 Chapter Six: Who Is the Subject? 174 Chapter Seven: The Ethical Turn 196 Notes 227 References 277 Index 305

Princeton University Press Max Weber in America
Book SynopsisMax Weber is widely considered a founder of sociology and the modern social sciences. This book provides details about Weber's visit to the United States in 1904 with his wife Marianne - what he did, what he saw, whom he met and why, and how these experiences profoundly influenced Weber's thought on immigration, capitalism, science, and culture.Trade ReviewWinner of the 2012 Distinguished Scholarly Publication Award, History of Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association "In 1904, shortly after emerging from severe psychological illness and between the two essays that made up The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, Max Weber traveled with his wife, Marianne, to the U.S., where he would deliver a paper at the Congress of Arts and Science in St. Louis. Drawing from a rich variety of archival material, Scaff has written the definitive story of that trip."--Choice "Max Weber in America ranks among the very best interpretations of Max Weber's sociology."--Bryan S. Turner, American Journal of Sociology "Scaff has undertaken a prodigious amount of archival research in tracing Weber's path through the United States, and it is difficult to conceive of what would comprise a more definitive examination of this period in Weber's life and work."--John G. Gunnell, Journal of American History "This close-grained reading of Weber's American trip and the American dissemination of his writings sheds illuminating light on both... Weber scholars will find Scaff's meticulous treatment of the translation of Weber's texts extremely useful."--Daniel Rodgers, H-Net Reviews "Given its scale, the uniqueness of its insights and the relentless industry displayed, this is a work of scholarship which is most unlikely to be superseded. The study comes at Weber from an unexpected angle and adds much to the understanding of this multifaceted giant founder of sociology."--Kieran Flanagan, Canadian Journal of Sociology "[A] readable intellectual biography of a major work in social science as well as a fascinating discussion of the politics and personalities behind what seems ... an inevitable and unalterable stand alone work. Those unfamiliar with Weber may flounder at first, but the anecdotes about the various people and places should hold the reader until the rhythm of the work becomes comfortable and the ideas fall into place. A well developed and insightful presentation should maintain Scaff's status as a leading Weber scholar."--John Barnhill, 49th Parallel "[T]his is an extraordinary work of dedicated research, performed by a scholar who came to the task with genuine Weberian instincts. Scaff treats his subject with an empathy, sobriety and fairness that are a model to social and political scientists. Admittedly, not many in our ranks could approach Weber's heights of scholarly innovation, because, as Scaff quietly reminds us, he saw further and deeper into American society than most native born or foreign researchers. Max Weber in America is a tribute to a scholar who built his social theory on scientific notions of objectivity and moral impulses of decency."--Irving Louis Horowitz, European Legacy "Scaff provides such a wealth of information that at times the book seems more about turn of the century America than about Weber. Scaff also devotes a considerable amount of attention to Marianne and her interest in women's rights. As a consequence, Max Weber sometimes seems to disappear from view. This might seem to be a criticism, but Scaff's ability to discuss such a wide range of issues is so good and his focus on Marianne is justly warranted, that this is no drawback to his book."--Christopher Adair-Toteff, Sociology "Scaff's book is fascinating reading. Its scrupulous description of Weber's background and life events and his analysis of Weber's reception in the American universities and scholarship combine expertise and insight. It covers a relatively unknown episode in Weber's life with an excellent and thorough research."--Simonetta Piccone Stella, SociologicaTable of ContentsLIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ix PREFACE xi INTRODUCTION 1 PART 1: THE AMERICAN JOURNEY CHAPTER ONE: Thoughts about America 11 Traveling to Progressive America 11 New Horizons of Thought 16 A "Spiritualistic" Construction of the Modern Economy? 20 CHAPTER TWO: The Land of Immigrants 25 Arriving in New York 25 Church and Sect, Status and Class 29 Settlements and Urban Space 36 CHAPTER THREE: Capitalism 39 The City as Phantasmagoria 40 Hull House, the Stockyards, and the Working Class 43 Character as Social Capital 48 CHAPTER FOUR: Science and World Culture 54 The St. Louis Congress: Unity of the Sciences? 54 The Last Time for a Free and Great Development: American Exceptionalism? 60 The Politics of Art 66 Gender, Education, and Authority 69 CHAPTER FIVE: Remnants of Romanticism 73 The Lure of the Frontier 74 The Problems of Indian Territory 82 Nature, Traditionalism, and the New World 90 The Signifi cance of the Frontier 95 CHAPTER SIX: The Color Line 98 Du Bois and the Study of Race 100 The Lessons of Tuskegee 108 Race and Ethnicity, Class and Caste 112 CHAPTER SEVEN: Different Ways of Life 117 Colonial Children 117 Nothing Remains except Eternal Change 119 Ecological Interlude 127 Inner Life and Public World 129 The Cool Objectivity of Sociation 133 CHAPTER EIGHT: The Protestant Ethic 137 Spirit and World 139 William James and His Circle 146 Ideas and Experience 151 CHAPTER NINE: American Modernity 161 Strange Contradictions 164 Becoming American 168 Cultural Pluralism 174 TEN Interpretation of the Experience 181 The Discourse about America 182 A Way Out of the Iron Cage? 185 America in Weber's Work 191 PART 2: THE WORK IN AMERICA CHAPTER ELEVEN: The Discovery of the Author 197 Author and Audience 197 Networks of Scholars 198 Translation History 201 The Disciplines 206 CHAPTER TWELVE: The Creation of the Sacred Text 211 An American in Heidelberg 213 Parsons Translates The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism 217 CHAPTER THIRTEEN: The Invention of the Theory 229 Gerth and Mills Publish a Weber "Source Book" 229 Parsons's "Theory of Social and Economic Organization" 233 Weber among the Emigres 238 Weberian Sociology and Social Theory 244 Weber beyond Weberian Sociology 249 APPENDIX 1: Max and Marianne Weber's Itinerary for the American Journey in 1904 253 APPENDIX 2: Max Weber, Selected Correspondence with American Colleagues, 1904-5 257 ARCHIVES AND COLLECTIONS CONSULTED 267 BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTES 269 INDEX 305

Princeton University Press History Man The Life of R. G. Collingwood
Book SynopsisA biography of the last and greatest British idealist philosopher, R G Collingwood (1889-1943), a man who both thought and lived at full pitch. Best known for his philosophies of history and art, Collingwood was also a historian, archaeologist, sailor, artist, and musician.Trade Review"Inglis gives us a clear line of development from the thought of Vico and Croce to the philosophy of the later years with its crowning achievement in recognizing the need to historicize ideas rather than treat them as algebraic constraints. The story is enriched with an often riveting account of Collingwood's psychological difficulties and of his final challenge to posterity in his affair with Kathleen Edwardes and decision to become a father again as death beckoned."--Michael Bentley, Times Literary Supplement "A warm-hearted, affectionate biography of an irascible but brilliant philosopher and historian... By placing Collingwood in his context, Fred Inglis does much to rectify the slightly paranoid portrait of [Collingwood's] autobiography. Even if Collingwood was not the jovial, beer-drinking common man that Inglis would have liked him to be, it is good to see him brought some way back to the human fold."--Simon Blackburn, New Republic "Vividly written biography... Inglis's great achievement in this book is to apply the question-and-answer method to Collingwood's biography, the 'interpreted life' being no more susceptible to instant appraisal than the interpreted text."--Jonathan Derbyshire, Literary Review "It is a strange fact that until the recent appearance of History Man: The Life of R. G. Collingwood, the world had no 'life' of the greatest philosopher of history writing in English, nor England's leading 20th-century philosopher of art, and no apparent attempt at one... Fred Inglis' biography is a courageous act of cultural and intellectual re-contextualisation that should be applauded... The prose moves with fluid ease, and the book is intensely readable, with much to reward non-philosophers and non-Collingwoodians interested in the educational, social and political history of the era."--Philip Smallwood, Times Higher Education "Collingwood's life is a full, fascinating and complicated story that needs to be told, and Fred Inglis tells it as an avowed partisan, an admirer who desires to breathe new life into our understanding of Collingwood...

Book SynopsisAt the turn of the twentieth century, William James was America's most widely read philosopher. This title details James' contributions to experimental psychopathology, psychical research, and the psychology of religion.Trade Review"Taylor argues convincingly that throughout his life James was concerned with the totality of human experience, of which waking consciousness is but one aspect. Taylor concludes that the implications of James's person-centered, humanistic thought can bridge the gap between experimental and clinical psychology."--Library Journal "While James did fight labels all his life, he also created labels for the niches from which he could do strategic work. Taylor's patient examinations help us see that William James was both a hedgehog and a fox...

Weeden and Kurzban remind us that self-interest is a complicated concept."--Glenn C. Altschuler, Huffington Post "The book is a thoughtful reminder that politics is often simply a contest over finite resources in which different voters want opposing things."--John McDermott, Financial Times "Authors Weeden and Kurzban have written a well-researched ... analysis of the political mind... [T]he book satisfies the intellectual demands of researchers and general readers. Perfect for fans of Thomas Frank's What's the Matter with Kansas?"--Library Journal "Weeden and Kurzban's book is well worth a read."--Anthony Randazzo, Reason "Weeden and Kurzban's argument will trouble those who believe that politics is about more than trying to find ways to satisfy one's interests."--Choice "[O]ne of the most interesting books I have read on politics in quite a while... A fascinating book."--Daniel Finkelstein, The Times (London) "The book makes an interesting contribution to our understanding of political attitudes and is accessible to a wide audience interested in political science...

By showing how self-interest factors into our decision making in ways we do not even consciously understand and how political parties exploit that to their advantage and by doing so in a way that is accessible outside an academic audience, the authors will likely make a significant contribution to the general understanding of public opinion."--Chad Murphy, The Journal of Politics "An important contribution to a field dominated by group-oriented explanations."--Christopher Weber, Political Science QuarterlyTable of ContentsPart I: Political Minds Chapter 1: Agendas in Action 3 Chapter 2: Investigating Interests 26 Chapter 3: Machiavellian Minds 44 Part II: Political Issues Chapter 4: Fighting over Sex: Lifestyle Issues and Religion 69 Chapter 5: Rules of the Game: Group Identities and Human Capital 96 Chapter 6: Money Matters: Redistribution and Hard-Times Programs 123 Part III: Political Coalitions Chapter 7: The Many Shades of Red and Blue 145 Chapter 8: The Republican Coalition 160 Chapter 9: The Democratic Coalition 176 Part IV: Political Challenges Chapter 10: An Uncomfortable Take on Political Positions 195 Acknowledgments 217 Appendixes 219 Data Appendix for Chapter 2 219 Data Appendix for Part II 236 Data Appendix for Chapter 4 251 Data Appendix for Chapter 5 268 Data Appendix for Chapter 6 287 Data Appendix for Chapter 8 304 Data Appendix for Chapter 9 321 Notes 343 References 351 Index 359

C. Beins, Choice"A comprehensive survey of psychological knowledge grounded in empirical research and presented in a highly readable and engaging manner by a writer endowed with both psychological expertise and literary skill. . . .

I recommend it to all — to high school students and members of the public curious about mind and behavior, to psychology undergraduates seeking a comprehensive summary and overview of the vast spectrum of psychological knowledge, and even to psychologists like me, for it is good to be reminded about what our discipline has accomplished. Oatley’s blending of these accomplishments with history, literature, philosophy, and the personal backgrounds of some of the movers and shakers in the discipline makes this an excellent read for all."---James Alcock, American Journal of Psychology

Princeton University Press Archetype and Allegory in the Dream of the Red
Book SynopsisSurprisingly little has been written in Western languages about the eighteenth- century Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber, perhaps the supreme masterpiece of its entire tradition. In this study, Andrew H. Plaks has used the conceptual tools of comparative literature to focus on the novel''s allegorical elements and narrative structure. He thereby succeeds in accounting for the work''s greatness in terms that do justice to its own narrative tradition and as well to recent advances in general literary theory.A close textual reading of the novel leads to discussion of a wide range of topics: ancient Chinese mythology, Chinese garden aesthetics, and the logic of alternation and recurrence. The detailed study of European allegorical texts clarifies the directions taken by comparable works of Chinese literature, and the critical tool of the literary archetype helps to locate the novel within the Chinese narrative tradition from ancient mythology to the more recent noveTable of Contents*Frontmatter, pg. i*Contents, pg. v*Preface, pg. vii*Introduction, pg. 1*I.

It is suitable for upper-level students across the social sciences.Trade Review"An interesting book and one which makes a useful addition to the growing body of sociological studies on death and dying."Sociology "The chapters on life after death, religion and extrasensory experiences are particularly interesting and thought-provoking.... It is thought-provoking and unusual in its sociology perspective of the American experience of death and dying."European Journal of Palliative Care "This volume offers a vital new statement on the study of death and dying. Professors Fontana and Keene have written an accessible, interesting text that will serve multiple disciplines and will be appreciated by students and teachers alike. Well done!"Kathy Charmaz, Sonoma State University "The authors are to be commended for their unusually engaging and very current treatment of the issues that should be at the core of any course on death and dying. This book is particularly well suited for the rapidly increasing number of sociological courses on death and dying, but it will also work very well in many interdisciplinary courses taught in a variety of other departments. Instructors will be able to use this book as a stand alone text or to use it as a set of core readings to be supplemented by selected readings on topics of special relevance to his or her students. Of particular note is their excellent treatment of such topics as the hospice movement, grief, assisted suicide, and various forms of euthanasia."John Williamson, Boston CollegeTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Part 1 Death and Culture 1.

Community Care "Designed as a guide to social work practice with older people in various settings, the book has a strong practical emphasis but also examines theoretical perspectives, with insights from sociology and psychology integrated throughout. It also discusses policy guidelines and organizational standards." Booknews "This is a convincing and well-written text exploring complex ideas in a coherent and logical way, without simplification. The use of case studies and the linking of theory to research at every stage provides valuable contexts for the application of diverse ideas and constructs. I would certainly use this book as a key text in the study of social work with older adults, and it is a welcome addition to the development of theoretical understanding more broadly." Jane Heyes, University of Central Lancashire "This book provides a comprehensive and thorough coverage of the topic. The emphasis on human rights provides a useful and necessary framework on which all practice and interventions with older people should be based. The summaries, key lessons and further reading will be invaluable to students and practitioners alike." Bridget Penhale, University of Sheffield "Eminently accessible in terms of structure, style and content, the book addresses core areas, such as assessment and care planning, but also engages in more original discussion of work with older people within family and community contexts. Above all, it conveys the important message that social work with older people is a highly skilled, challenging and rewarding area of practice."

In this way, Alexander usefully beckons towards a future of "cosmopolitan peace". It is a dream worth returning to in the 21st century.'Times Higher Education'A masterpiece of cultural explanation. Alexander powerfully documents the complex effects of trauma and blame in conflicts among groups, in a book that is both readable and fascinating.'James M. Jasper, CUNY Graduate Center "Exemplary work in illustrating the processes that underlie trauma narrative creation."Political Studies Review'Combining theoretical astuteness and empirical sensitivity, Alexander's book is a hugely significant contribution to the understanding of collective trauma, suffering, and memory. It opens up a wealth of new vistas for both cultural sociology and social theory more generally.'David Inglis, University of Aberdeen 'Already established as a leading scholar of cultural trauma and collective memory, Jeffrey Alexander solidifies his position in this new book. He deepens our theoretical understanding of trauma, expands its relevance through novel comparative analysis, and improves our grasp of its ingredients.
