Strachan and Stones present a case (5 actually) for making parodies a part of the modern world rather than something that you studied (You did study them in college didn't you?) But before you conclude that these books are just about parody, pay attention to their introduction into what constitutes plagiarism (book 1). It's not what's taught, but "it's the real truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" as they say in this country.

After that, it's hard to recommend where you should start. If you're in advertising, the entire book 4, Warreniana, is for you. Want to see how the twist and turns of famous authors begat a run of parodies that will bewitch you, try book 5.

If poetry's you thing, the first three books will fill a void that has never been filled in this way.

And, when you finish, the Index in book 5 is worth the price of the books alone. Where else can you find such a menu of famous works. You'll never go on a diet again.

Buy these books if you can afford them, copy sections and revere them until you can scrounge up the money for the real thing, but please don't steal them from the library they're too precious!

The book has the normal flow for a Stone book with very good research and interesting trivia. Plus, Stone does his best to explain the origin of Fruedian thought and the struggles of Sigmund Frued to get his word heard in very hostile environment. He shows the delicate balance between his student life, to his married life and his struggles to learn a pyschology which was never respected in his life time. Also shows, America becoming a strong society which has just started to influence global thoughts and respect global thought leadership.

This book is an excellent resource as a study guide with focus areas as well as questions that arte diagnosis specific. It also is a great tool to have on the clinical site as a resource.

From the moment I took this book into my hands I struggled to put it down. Not knowing anything about alchemy this book probably was the best introduction I could ask for. The book reads like a novel, taking the reader through all the paths of discovering more about alchemy. Loads of information is distilled into assessable paragraphs that contain the essence of each topic covered. Referenced material supporting the book is well documented in the back of the book enabling the serious reader to do further research on the topic. Starting from ancient history, the book is organised in a chronological order to end in its significance for contemporary times. Each paragraph reveals a bit more of this fascinating and mysterious subject. Interviews, visits to significant sites, papers, quotes and interpretation of symbolism ignite the readers curiosity. Excitement grows within the reader to the extend of an expectation that the philosopher's stone might jump somewhere from the pages. True to the basic principles the author does not try to provide an objective view of alchemy. The author gets so passionately involved with alchemy that one wonders if the author might be biased towards seeing alchemic symbolism even where they do not exist. But after closing the last page of the book, the author most definitely has planted within the readers subconscious a seed of hope. Hope that there is more beyond the aims of immortality and turning metals into gold , towards actual transmutation.
