Alfred Adler, the Forgotten Prophet
Published in Hardcover by Praeger Publishers (1998)
Author: Loren Grey
Amazon base price: $62.95
Used price: $58.51
Collectible price: $49.99
Average review score:

An excellent book about Adler's ideas.
This well written, comprehensive book affords the reader the opportunity to understand Adler's concepts and treatment approach. The author documents how Alfred Adler was ahead of his time in his psychological and philosophical ideas; and explains the reasons why Adler is not better known today. This book is interesting because Grey puts Adler into the framework of his time and compares and contrasts his ideas with those of other well known thinkers and psychological practitioners. I believe this book is a "must" for all serious students of Adler as well as those readers who would like to get a fuller understanding of Alfred Adler's forward thinking in the many areas which are relevant for today's society. I am deliberately not being more explicit, so that you may become curious and encouraged to read the book; and find out more for yourself. I think you will find the reward well worth the effort.

A fascinating biography of the founder of MOMA
This book is just great fun to read and highly educational. In addition to being a biography of Alfred Barr, it is a documentary of a moment in which New York replaced Paris as the center of the Art World. Invaluable for understanding the arts and personalities in the art world who still affect us today.

The story keeps you on the edge of your chair.
The characters are kids you can look up to. The story is thrilling and fast paced. There is nothing about the story that seems unbelievable. It keeps you guessing until the end. I read this as a child and I have never forgotten it. It is one of the best series I have ever read.

This is the best young reader series that has ever existed.
When I was in third grade, I bought "Alfred Hitchcock andthe Three Investigators in the Mystery of the Flaming Footprints"solely because I liked the cover. The neon green flaming footprints "walking" up a flight of stairs intrigued me. But once I picked up the book, I was addicted for life. I bought every Three Investigators book I could lay my hands on and would not let them out of my sight - not even to loan them to my best friend. I am almost 27 years old and still have nearly every book in the series. Unfortunately, I am faced with a new dilemma: my niece loves mysteries and I want to share the Three Investigators with her, but they are out of print and I do not want to let go of my copies. They should be reprinted!!! The series was loaded with positive messages for young readers: young people can be just as smart as adults, it is good to be well-rounded, it is "cool" to be smart, it is O.K. for athletic jocks (Pete) to hang out with handicapped introverts (Bob) and overweight geniuses (Jupiter), etc. Young people need to hear these messages today more than ever before. Someone please help bring them back in print!!! I'm begging!!!

My childhood favorite
I'm 28 now and was first introduced to The Three Investigators in 5th grade. I now teach English to 8th graders thanks in large part to my love of reading, flamed in my youth for a love of this series of books. The Mystery of the Invisible Dog was my favorite book in this series, and may be (along with White Fang) my favorite book of childhood. As a mystery, the story had few flaws. The mood and tone of this story hit just the right cord with me. I loved the entire series because it did not condescend to its audience, assuming a certain amount of knowledge about the world in each story. This book was no different in its reference to the Carpathian mountains of Europe and references to Catholic practices as part of the story. I highly recommend this book as truly representative and maybe the best book of the series.

I always wanted to be Jupiter!
This is the best juvenile seried there is. I only owned 4 books as a kid, but I read them over and over and over. Now I am trying to buy the rest of them and some are out of print! Oh that I had bought them wheni could (especially since they used to be $$$). I tried to pick up (being a girl) the babysitter's club, but that just didn't do it for me. They were so shallow and predictable. The three investigators series are quality literature, which is rare nowadays. PLEASE reprint all the out-of-print titles. Judging from others comments, many people would buy them! It would be a shame to let these go because there isnt the same calibur of books to replace them!
