The Dilemma of Psychology: A Psychologist Looks at His Troubled Profession
Published in Hardcover by E P Dutton (November, 1990)
Author: Lawrence Leshan
Average review score:

A thoughtful, openly presented treatise
The Dilemma Of Psychology by psychologist and educator Lawrence LeShan is a carefully written scrutiny of the discipline and healing science of psychology. Accessibly written by a practicing psychologist holding deep reservations regarding the current state of his profession, The Dilemma Of Psychology candidly examines psychology's quest to understand the human condition and its state purpose to help people. LeShan questions a number of basic assumptions that are widespread among practitioners such as that "God is an Engineer." A thoughtful, openly presented treatise, The Dilemma Of Psychology is a highly recommended contribution to Psychology Studies reference collections and reading lists.


Do You Have Attention Deficit Disorder?

I don't feel so strange anymore...
This book has helped to clear up confusion that I've had about myself. I've always known that I'm different. I've always had to work harder, no matter how hard I thought I was already working. This book has helped me to understand that I AM NOT A SLACKER! Read this and get motivated. Get tested and diagnosed! It's comforting to read about my behaviors and know that they are talking about lots of others out there who do just as I do! I'm not just a daydreaming, procrastinating, working on a dozen things at once goofball who is always behind!


Doctor Dealer

Engrossing read!
Larry Lavin is a brilliant, complex person, who, despite his enormous crime, emerges as likeable. One cannot help but think, "what a waste!" This is the story of a man who truly had everything: brains, looks, loyal wife, money career, and beautiful children. Yet, he threw it all away. Fascinating account of Lavin's ascent from poor working-class Massachusetts kid with disillusioned father to dental student to coke lord to inmate.

An in depth and insightful book
Most often some of the most influential men in politics are ignored. This book on David L. Lawrence shows how important the man was to changing the way Pittsburgh and cities did businesses. Kudos to Mr. Weber on this biography of one of the finest mayors of the 20th century.


A Dorset Soldier: The Autobiography of Sgt. Williams Lawrence 1790-1869
Published in Paperback by Spellmount Publishers (July, 1996)
Authors: Eileen Hathaway and William Lawrence
Average review score:

A boy goes to War
An excellent book for collectors of Peninsular War accounts, and especially those interest in light Regiments for this book follows the life of Sergeant William Lawrence - or should I say the military life. It was first published in the 1880's, some 20 years after Lawrence's death - and this I believe is the first reprint since then. He was an illiterate man and dictated these when in his 60's, some 40 years after events.

It begins when he runs away from his apprenticeship and joins the army - or tries several times to join the army and ending up with the 40th Regiment of Foot (the closest) just before they set off for South America in 1806.

The book is just full of fascinating little detail of everyday life in the army - of transportation and some terrible (but brief) accounts of battles fought. In fact the book itself is very Brief - reminding me a lot of another published account by a non-officer - 'A Soldier of the 71st'. This gives a glimpse of life in the ranks. The editor, Eileen Hathaway, has done a phenomenal job footnoting the text so much of Lawrence's background and family is explained - and detail which might not be familiar in the Peninsular War - such as seige works - can be easily understood without specialist knowledge or dredging out other reference books. It also comes with a number of extremely useful small maps which illustrate small parts of the text - I really liked that feature. There are a number of black and white reproductions of pictures in the middle- I wish publishers would do these in colour - I'd be willing to pay the extra - they just look so drab, and it is hard to get enthusiastic about black and white reproductions of uniforms. Luckily the back cover has the 40th uniform reproduced in colour and I did like the watercolour on the front cover, which was painted especially for this book.

Lawrence is an engaging story teller - not quite in the self-deprecating vein of someone like John Kincaid - but he is enjoyable. There is a great amount of detail in here which complements other Peninsular War accounts - but it is also wonderful for London and British travelling - Lawrence's account of sharp practices by London Hackney Cab drivers and Inn land-ladies makes priceless reading.


Dr Snow: How the FBI Nailed an Ivy League Coke King

Money temps even the rational
An interesting tale of Larry Lavin. A dentist with a career ahead of him. The Lure of money led to him dabble in the "Candy" of the 1980's. Intriguing was how he hid so close to the authorities as a fugitive. Good reading. Perhaps he was pursuing what many of taught is the American Dream....well worth the read.


Dream Keys for Love: Unlocking the Secrets of Your Own Heart
Published in Paperback by Dell Pub Co (01 December, 1999)
Author: Lauren Lawrence
Average review score:

Dream Keys For Love does unlock the secrets of your heart.
This book is unbelievable. The knowledge it imparts about dreams as soothsayers bent on saving our relationships is fascinating reading. The numerous dream examples really do reveal the nature of the dreamer's love relationship. Symbols of unfaithfulness and lack of trust are clearly presented. The dream scenarios of incompatability and lack of communication show us what to look for in our own dreams. This book made me understand just how much information we repress or deny in our conscious lives, and made me realize how important it is to examine our dreams for clues that will urge us to deal with the problems in our love relationships. I had a dream that clearly revealed a lack of communication in my own relationship that I was unwilling to accept. After reading the book I became more communicative with my boyfriend and my relationship became so much better. In addition, Dream Keys For Love has many celebrity dreams which are such fun to read. Especially Yasmine Bleeth's.
