Leaheys book is by far my preference of the history of psych textbooks (I've also examined Brennan's and Kendler's books). I use the book for personal reading and to give a sense of history and develppment to other courses. His book is especially notable for considering a wide variety of psychological ideas, and its consideration of the interaction of cultures, societies, and psychology. the only reason I give it four stars is because it's not quite as exciting as a novel and I want to see certain sections expanded - (eg. the intellectual-cultural roots of founding psychologists in Germany and Vienna) - but the bibliographies are especially meaty for a textbook.

I just finished The Hunt For The Four Brothers recently, and I enjoyed all 151 pages of it! This book is very special. When I read the title at first, I thought that the Four Brothers would be humans. But after I read the book, I understand what they really are. They actually are gems. Isn't that astonishing? In the story, Joe and Frank have to investigate to find the gems? In a word, this book is very interesting, mysterious and somewhat scary. Ah, now I have to consider to buy a new one. See you.

The book I read was called The Ice-Cold Case by Franklin W. Dixon. The story is about two boys named Joe and Frank Hardy trying to crack a case around Pineview Lake. It all started when the Hardy Boys go to their friend, Sara Kwan's birthday party. The kids that play hockey on the lake got into argument with the fisherman at the lake during the birthday party. During the story bad things happen to the people that live around the lake. The Hardy Boys get attacked many times. Anyone who helps the Hardy Boys gets threatened. The Hardy's think the robberies,attacks, and other bad things are being committed by the same people. I thought the story was O.K. If you like crime storys then read this book. Read this book to find out what will happen to the Hardy Boys.

Jude the Obscure is a well-written book. It flows well and is interesting. In it Hardy explores the nature and parts of marriage. The characters struggle over the nature and power of marriage, and their obligations that they must each fulfill. For some time Jude Fawley is kept from creating a relationship with his cousin, Sue Bridehead, because of his legal marriage contract with another. Even though his wife had long since left him and moved to Australia, he could not bring himself to carryout a relationship until he received news that his wife had divorced him. Sue, however, struggled not with the legal issues, but the moral issues. At first she felt that it was most important to be with the man she loved, even though she was legally bound to another. She explicitly asked her husband's permission to leave him and live with Jude, because she realized she did not love him, but only enjoyed him as a friend. He agrees, and later divorces her. She and Jude join each other, but she will not get herself to legally marry Jude, as she feels it devalues the moral contract of marriage. But after a traumatic event, she realizes that she should not have left her past husband, and leaves Jude to remarry him, even though she still does not love him. Jude's past wife also shows up, and upon finding that Sue has left him, drags him into marriage again. Despite both Jude and Sue being unhappy in their situations, Sue continues to insist that it is best to honor the original moral obligation. Even though by law neither she nor Jude were bound to their past spouses, she feels that morally they always have been.
Much of the story is overshadowed by unhappiness or discontentedness. The book does not leave the reader with a pleasant feeling after finishing it. However, it is interesting, and certainly well written. And not all books are written to make the reader feel good, but some to make the reader think. This is the case with Jude the Obscure.

A Killing in the Market is about one of the Hardy boys' mysteries they have to solve. After Cyril Bayard stops a thief from stealing Frank and Joe's aunt's purse, Aunt Gertrude and Cyril fall in love. One day, Cyril is found dead at the docks. All of the police's evidence leads them to believe that Aunt Gertrude killed Cyril. Frank and Joe are dertermined to prove that Gertrude is innocent. In their investigations, they discover that Henry Simone, a man involved in Wall Street, has been using the alias of Cyril Bayard to avoid being killed by a dangerous group of men. The boys later run into Eric Clifton, a helpful detective. While doing some investigating in New York, the boys discover that Clifton killed Henry Simone along with the help from a group of terrorists called the Mob. If you're ready for some action and a lot of adventure, this is the book for you.

I like Shaun Cassidy's music, and knew he starred in "The Hardy Boys Mysteries", based on the books, so that's what got me interested in reading them. Of course my grade school teachers read a chapter to us almost every day, so I knew about them a long time ago. This is a very interesting book about comic book villains suddenly turning out to be real! I remember a part in this book when one of them pushed a big boulder down a driveway and the boulder was really fake. I started collecting them since then, and never stopped reading them.

Although not fully communicated by its title, Wilson was after something with as much substance and seriousness as capriciousness. For starters, this isn't a book. It's a broadside. It's no shorter than 8 pages (if memory serves) but not longer than twenty. It's a chimeral analysis of polarities and dependencies, systems that are flawed at their very core but wouldn't exist in any other state (viz. without Laurel, Hardy would never find himself if the "fixes" he does and Hardy would have no 'life' without Laurel...) Ultimately, this is a funny little tome with an almost reluctantly serious edge; well worth owning for the sheer delight of pulling it off your bookshelf in the company of a group of Colin Wilson fans who are "absolutely" certain they're familiar with all his writings. You get to say, "Oh, yeah? Ever read this one?" You can bet money one of those folks will plop right down in the nearest chair and read it on the spot. Count the giggles.

This book is by Annie McGarry published by Chartwell Books, Inc., which is a division of Book Sales, Inc. of Secaucus, N.J. and was produced by Brompton Books Corp. of Greenwich, CT. Its 80 pages long with a table of contents, filmography and index page. It has brief comments about many of the Laurel and Hardy movies and the men themselves, but its nice large 8 1/2 by 12 inch pictures are the best thing about this book.

an exciting book, students will learn about pavlovian and thorndlike conditioning to the deepest terms

The book was well planned and researched. The recations used arrows to show how new molecules are formed. All areas of the organic course are covered. Simply I liked the book for its simple and ease of reading. Well done to the authors.
