Now in a revised and updated edition that takes into account recent horrors such as the September 11 attacks, Culture Of Fear by Frank Furedi (Professor of Sociology, University of Kent, Cantebury, England) is a fascinating and provocative sociological study of the contemporary and increasing epidemic of fear in an age when people are statistically safer and live longer than ever before, even a mere century ago. Scare stories that turn people away from discoveries such as genetic research and genetically modified food are particularly worrisome to Professor Furedi, who exhorts a warning that the new media driven fears may well be over-hyped, leading the nation to collectively fear that the sky is falling, when the real danger lies is in the abandonment of scientific and technological advances in industry, medicine, and agricultural. Culture Of Fear is highly recommended reading for the non-specialist general reader, students, political activists, and governmental policy makers, as well as being a welcome addition to academic reading lists and reference collections.

After a considerable search to find a professional level, readable, up-to-date Child and Adolescent Reference, Lewis' work fully meets or exceeds my expectations. Articles draw on expert opinion, research findings and clinical practice to give encyclopediac references. A very wide scope. The only comparable volumes are the Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry VII, and that reference is not child-centered but rather adult-focused. This volume excels in clarity of presentation even as it delivers extensive and thoughtful clinical/theoretical material.

D.H. Lawrence's "The Rainbow" is a very good book that has been rated as one of the 150 most influential books of the 20th century by many lists. But even classics go out of print. The book is about a young couple, how they meet, and their sexual relations. The couple produces many children which causes the mother to be more of a mother than a lover. Will, the eccentric, masculine father, is confused by this lack of interest in him and frightened by his dominating wife. This book is a classic of psychological realism.

Good book for little kids about fathers and their jobs, including their most important job of parenting. Paul Meisel`s pleasant smiling daddies show all kinds of different things fathers might do for work. But the biggest smiles are on the faces of my boys, when Janet Frank writes, "...daddies hurry home-- to us!" I especially like this book, because here in Japan the most prevalent image is that of the salaryman. This shows that there are other options, as well as the fact that women do these jobs, too.

The author created a tale that defies American stereotypes of captured and enslaved Africans. Mr Yerby painted a past life of the slave, Wesley Parks, that was a very interesting rendering of the culture of an African elite who was the governor of a province in the Dahomean empire This was a potrait of a complete man who had strong cultural ties, many skills and was a born leader. Unfortunately, Hwesu was born into a decadent society that enriched its rulers by conquering, capturing, selling and enslaving its neighbors. The jealousy and rage of relatives led to Hwesu\Wesley being enslaved. This is a story of love, passion, violence, inhumanity and survival. Hwesu was much more than a slave and his homeland much more complicated than popular American stereotypes.

This book is the definitive source for information about the men that have wore the silver and blue. It discusses every player who has been on the Cowboy's active roster from the very beginning. This book will bring back lots of memories for long-time Cowboy fans and will be a godsend for recent "Bandwagon Jumpers"

There's something mesmerizing and addictive about watching people on the fringe of existence, people pushed to the edge, people in dire straits or even close. In the 1920s and especially during the Great Depresssion of the 1930s, dance marathon fads played on this morbid fascination we have for people with hard-luck stories, people down on the luck, people at the end of their rope.

With uncommon depth and insight, Frank M. Calabria analyzes audience responses to these weird spectacles, the painful agony of the competition, and the abusive treatment by walkathon show organizers and their emcees. This 1993 book also includes a wonderful collection of period photographs. As a former psychology professor, Calabria is qualified to present what is surely a unique analysis of the increasingly tortured conditions of contestants' emotion state as a dance marathon progressed.

Reading Calabria's book, I suffered from an interesting paradox: throughout the descriptions of sleep-deprived, hypnotic exhaustion endured by the wretched "dancers," I found myself alert and eagerly turning to the next page.

This book is massive, but justifies its size by giving a thorough and comprehensive survey of one of the strangest and most incomprehensible books of the Bible. It covers every aspect that would interest the diligent Bible scholar. Beginners will find it very tough going! Collins believes that Daniel himself had no hand in writing the book, but that it was the product of the age of the Maccabean struggle. However, he presents all the evidence and arguments fully, being fair to those of a more conservative viewpoint. What you will not find in this book is an attempt to show that Daniel was successfully predicting events in the 20th century or even further in the future.
