Summary

The Collected Works of Sigmund Freud is a comprehensive collection of the groundbreaking theories and case studies by the father of psychoanalysis. Freud's literary style is both analytical and introspective, delving deep into the human psyche to explore the unconscious mind and its influence on behavior. This collection includes seminal works such as 'The Interpretation of Dreams' and 'Civilization and Its Discontents', which revolutionized the understanding of human behavior and paved the way for modern psychology. Freud's use of case studies and psychodynamic theory set the foundation for the field of psychoanalysis. His intricate exploration of human desires and conflicts continues to shape the way we understand the complexities of the mind. Sigmund Freud, a renowned Austrian neurologist and psychoanalyst, was driven by a passion to unravel the mysteries of the mind and behavior. His own experiences with patients and personal struggles led him to develop the groundbreaking theories presented in his collected works. Freud's relentless quest for understanding the human psyche has made him a legendary figure in the history of psychology and continues to influence contemporary thinking on mental health and behavior. I highly recommend The Collected Works of Sigmund Freud to anyone interested in delving into the origins of psychoanalysis and exploring the complexities of the human mind. Freud's seminal works provide invaluable insights into the unconscious mind and offer a profound understanding of human behavior that is still relevant today.

    The Medieval Mind of C S Lewis -...

    C. S. Lewis had one of the great minds of the twentieth century.
Many readers know Lewis as an author of fiction and fantasy literature, including the Chronicles of Narnia and the Space Trilogy. Others know him for his books in apologetics, including Mere Christianity and The Problem of Pain. But few know him for his scholarly work as a professor of medieval and Renaissance literature.
What shaped the mind of this great thinker? Jason Baxter argues that Lewis was deeply formed not only by the words of Scripture and his love of ancient mythology, but also by medieval literature. For this undeniably modern Christian, authors like Dante and Boethius provided a worldview that was relevant to the challenges of the contemporary world.
Here, readers will encounter an unknown figure to guide them in their own journey: C. S. Lewis the medievalist.

    Dr. Helen Morrison has profiled more than eighty serial killers around the world. What she has learned about them will shatter every assumption you've ever had about the most notorious killers known to man. 
Dr. Helen Morrison, a leading expert on serial killers, has spent as many as four hundred hours alone with depraved murderers. In My Life Among the Serial Killers, Dr. Morrison relates how she profiled Richard Otto Macek, who chewed on his victims' body parts, stalked Dr. Morrison, then believed she was his wife. She conducted the last interview with Ed Gein, the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. John Wayne Gacy, the clown-obsessed killer of young men, sent her crazed Christmas cards, and gave her his paintings as presents. Dr. Morrison has received letters from killers, read their diaries and journals, evaluated crime scenes, testified at their trials, and studied photos of the gruesome carnage. She has interviewed the families of the victims, and the spouses and parents of the killers. 
Through it all, Dr. Morrison's goal has been to discover the reasons why serial killers are compelled to murder, how they choose their victims, and what we can do to prevent their crimes in the future. Her provocative conclusions will stun you.

    Enemies at the Gate - The City...

    The legend of the foundation of Rome by Romulus in 753BC accords very well with the earliest defensive walls on the Palatine Hill, made of clay and timber and showing evidence of animal sacrifices. To trace the continual efforts to fortify Rome is to trace the rise and fall of the Roman Empire - through the taking of the city by the Gauls in 390/387, the wars with the Italian states, the threat of Hannibal, the establishment of the Republic, attacks by the northern tribes and eventual division and collapse. By the 6th century AD, General Belisarius was desperately shoring up the walls with marble slabs from altars and gravestones. 
 
Before the final dissolution, Emperor Aurelius had reunited the Eastern and Western Empires and earned the title of 'Restitutor orbis', restorer of the world. While doing so he initiated the building of the Aurelian Wall, much of which stands today. Its millions of bricks were placed by thousands of workers and 30 years after it was built it would withstand sieges by two Roman armies under Severus II and Galerius. During the civil wars a rampart walk was added over the interior galleries, fronted by a parapet with merlons, so in effect Rome was converted into an extremely large castle. Patton said that 'fixed fortifications are a monument to man's stupidity.' Perhaps the walls of Rome are the greatest example.
