The book was very informative, precise and easy to follow and understand. It gives you a very clear understanding of what's available to you and what resources to check. It has helped me after one whole year of trying to figure out how to start my business, do just that. Everyone should read this, even if you already have a business of you own, it can help in many ways - Who doesn't need money and advice?

This is a sad book to read. In fact, one would not expect that such a type of bad development would occur between the two most important figures of psychoanalisys. It is as if Marx and Engels had broken their friendship for life and began to fight for fame and glory in front of everybody. The spoil was huge: nothing more than the primacy for fame and glory in the first steps of psychanalisys.

Sure, the letters span a pretty much limited space of time of no more than 8 years (1906-1914) but the reader has to keep in mind that what was at stake was the establishing of the foundations of psychoanalisys all over Europe and also in the whole World.
What began as a cordial friendship and evolved into an almost father (Freud) to son (Jung) relationship, deteriorated into the most depressive fighting of personal primacy on many subjects. In this regard, it seems that the feud was initiated by Freud who considered Jung a type of his personal assistant to market the developments of his findings
THe fact that this is a abridged edition does not mean nothing except that here the common reader will find the most important material exchanged by the two great men and will be saved from some meaningless material of more burocratical tone.
Also of value is the introduction that ilustrates all the effort made by the two family sides to publish the letters, in spite the view by Jung that the ideal time for them to be published would be 20 to 30 years after his death.

THis is a must reading for anyone interested in the history of psychanalisys.

This book presents an outstanding understanding of the personality types including psychosocial development. It correlates Jungian personality types (and Meyers-Briggs Type Indicators) to a spiritual and biblical context to help us in our journey toward wholeness. This is an excellent resource for personal growth as well as retreat material. I am a psychotherapist and a spiritual director. I have used it for many years with my directees to help them better understand themselves in relationship to God, scripture, and their spiritual growth.

This is the very good book for antique clocks collector's.

This is the very good guide for antique clock's collector. Special for "old, good Becker's" collectors.

Marilyn Fish's perserverence and uncanny ability to hone fact from fiction is a credit to her research techniques. The years prior to Gustav Stickley's introduction of Arts and Crafts furnishings in 1900 were pivotal in its ultimate success and the author fills in the past with fact not myth. No these are not glossy pages of interiors filled with Craftsman furnishings designed to get the Arts and Crafts glands salivating. This book is pure and simple fact (and some surprises) which should become the foundation for a complete understanding of the whole movement. Along with the previous title, Gustav Stickley: Heritage and Early Years Marilyn Fish gives us a most unique view of one of America's most famous furniture families of the 20th Century

Mr. Hasford goes unrecognized in his own time as a literary genius.

*A Gypsy Good Time* is cleverly disguised as a bad crime novel. The characters (aside from the protagonist and the inital antagonist, Yvonna) are all stereotypes that Hasford obviously has a beef with. The plot is fairly predictable, but what makes it so fascinating is the ride you take to get to the end.

In this black tale, Hasford waxes poetic about anger, rage, fear, and the morality that accompanies it. The narrator, Dowdy Lewis, Jr., is the modern-day ronin, a masterless warrior who is bound to a well-defined code of honor and loyalty but lacks anyone or anything deserving of either. Dowdy falls hard for Yvonna LaBlaine, who falls (as much as she can) for Dowdy. She ends up missing; Dowdy begins his quest to find and save her.

Throughout this compelling narrative are insights into contemporary American society, culture, and thought and the moneymen, powerbrokers, and dimestore Napoleons who bring it down in their quest to satiate their greed. Each stereotypical character is crafted to make a specific point. *AGGT* is an allegory, and the lessons that Hasford wishes to teach us are not pretty ones. Perhaps it is the stark, ugly truth of this novel that prevented it from selling well. However, I am pleased that Mr. Hasford has chosen to speak out as he has with this and his previous novels, rather than selling out.

*AGGT* is a compelling read, a fascinating tale, and a necessary book for the libraries of the individuals willing to think for themselves. It will offend liberals and conservatives alike, and I believe that that was part of the point. Reminiscent of Nabokov's *Lolita* in its blunt pointedness of its criticsims and the realism of the love story surrouding it, *AGGT* deserves to be treated with just as much respect and fame.

This tidy volume is useful for the scholar of post-renaissance poetics, philosophy, or philology as an introduction to one line of thinking on these matters: the German tradition of hermeneutics, from which whole academic disciplines and intellectual approaches (philosophical hermeneutics, deconstruction...) has arisen.

The selections provided give the careful reader a taste of how certain themes such as understanding and interpretation have developed in dialogue with (or in some cases outright imitation of) other conceptions of the same themes. Dilthey's ideas, for example, become much more pregnant with significance when the reader is reminded of Schleiermacher before and Heidegger after. It's striking to me at least how indebted twentieth-century thinkers such as Bakhtin and Wittgenstein are to Dilthey and friends--so these pages are still relevant and contemporary in many ways.

The introduction and bibliographies are also complete and as far as I can tell comprehensive.

Yes, yes. I hope this is helpful.

As midlife appears to be an unavoidable passage in all cultures of the world, (gratefully so), this compact book is packed with the insights midlifers need to reflect upon it with wisdom and patience. It is a keeper!
