A capable Latin Grammar
I recommend this book to you if you've progressed beyond your original textbook. I won't recommend that you buy this with your Wheelock textbook; I will, however, that you consider buying it when you've finished Chapter 40 of Wheelock! If you're planning to do composition, the consideration ought to be so much shorter, since you'll need a good grammar. Other choices with which I've been pleased are the books 'New Latin Grammar' and 'New Latin Syntax', both of which are also from Bolchazy-Carducci. The first is interchangeable with this title, IMO, while the latter book you may wish to buy even in addition to one of these.

And for those who are seeking a small grammar that can be of use to a beginner or an intermediate student, I recommend to them 'A Student's Latin Grammar' by Oxford Press. That book features all of the necessary grammar for reading Latin well, although it likely isn't detailed enough to help with the composition of good Latin.


Jung's Function-Attitudes Explained
Published in Paperback by Wormhole Pubns (1996)
Authors: Henry L. Thompson and D. Grenae Thompson

Problems
This book has problems. The descriptions of functions are uneven and ambiguous, and full of questionable examples. Several of the descriptions of the functions are nothing more than assemblages of quotes and thin paraphrasings from Jung and other authors, strung together into long paragraphs that add up to nothing. The author also seems to have emotional biases toward and away from some types.

One good thing about the book is that it quotes extensively from Jung's Psychological Types, and those quotes do make sense. The book would have been much better if he had just quoted all of Jung's work, and left out his own mistakes.

An invaluable resource for Type practitioners!
This is an outstanding book - a must-have tool for type practioners, or anyone wishing to learn about type on a much deeper level.

Thompson clearly describes the function-attitudes and provides insightful examples and illustrations that help the reader to quickly understand their dynamic nature and impact on personality.

As a type practitioner, I have often struggled when trying to explain the effects of introverted and extraverted attitudes on the use of each function. Thompson has clearly and succinctly described the process so that anyone can easily understand it.

I wish someone had mentioned this book to me when I went through the MBTI qualification course - - it would have certainly made it easier to move beyond a basic level of understanding of Type theory!
