The Uncertain Sciences
By Bruce Mazlish
Review by Maura Pilotti, Ph.D. on Tue, Jul 1st 2008.
The Uncertain Sciences by Bruce MazlishIn The Uncertain Sciences, Bruce Mazlish presents a cunning and visionary examination of the scientific enterprise of understanding the human species and, by doing so, of its ability to address real life problems.  He argues that disciplines that traditionally fall under the nebulous umbrella of Behavioral Sciences, such as Psychology, Anthropology and Sociology, and disciplines that are covered by the even more elusive umbrella of the Humanities, such as History and Philosophy, share a common interest, albeit with a different investigative focus. Namely, their desire is to understand the

The Altruism Equation
Seven Scientists Search for the Origins of Goodness
By Lee Alan Dugatkin
Review by Marc Baer, Ph.D. on Tue, Jul 1st 2008.
The Altruism Equation by Lee Alan DugatkinNot too long ago in human history, thinking on altruism was left almost entirely to religious moralists. Today, the amount of aid certain species of animals (and insects) will give to another, and under what conditions, can be predicted with mathematical precision. The study of altruism has moved beyond myth and speculation to science. How did this transition take place?In The Altruism Equation: Seven Scientists Search for the Origins of Goodness, Lee Alan Dugatkin, Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Louisville, gives an answer for the layman. Wading into scientific waters,

Predictably Irrational
The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions
By Dan Ariely
Review by Nancy Fontaine on Tue, Jul 1st 2008.
Predictably Irrational by Dan ArielyPredictably Irrational by Dan Ariely is a popular work on behavioral economics, a relatively new sub-specialty of the "dismal science." Written in an approachable manner, as if being presented to freshmen in college, this book serves an accessible introduction to the subject. Its aim -- to get the reader to "fundamentally rethink what makes people tick" -- is a bit overreaching, however.Ariely comes to his subject with sterling credentials. He is the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Behavioral Economics at MIT's Medial Laboratory and the Sloan School of Management, a resear

ADHD in Adults
What the Science Says
By Russell A. Barkley, Kevin R. Murphy and Mariellen Fischer
Review by Stephanie Moulton Sarkis, Ph.D. on Tue, Jul 1st 2008.
ADHD in Adults by Russell A. Barkley, Kevin R. Murphy and Mariellen FischerThe book details the results of the UMASS Study, which examined the impact of ADHD on clinic-referred adults, and the results of the Milwaukee Study, one of the largest longitudinal studies on the impact of ADHD from childhood through adulthood.  The authors also review other published studies of ADHD and its impact on the life cycle.  It should be disclosed that while I was reading this book for the review, I found that my book was listed in the references.  The book consists of 14 chapters: Introduction, History and Prevalence of ADHD in Adults; Diagnostic Criteria for ADHD in

The New Rational Therapy
Thinking Your Way to Serenity, Success, and Profound Happiness
By Elliot D. Cohen
Review by Kevin M. Purday on Tue, Jul 1st 2008.
The New Rational Therapy by Elliot D. CohenThis is a self-help book with a difference. It is the result of the hybridization of philosophy and psychology. The author is a professional philosopher who also studied Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) under Albert Ellis. He then came up with his own variant which he calls Logic-Based Therapy (LBT). This is a self-help improve-your-life approach to human behavior which sets out to help us behave in a way which, because it is based on logic and reason, is likely to lead to happiness.The author comes up with what he calls the eleven transcendent virtues which he names as: metaphysical s

Deconstruction and Democracy
Derrida's Politics of Friendship
By A. J. P. Thomson
Review by Alex Cistelecan on Tue, Jul 1st 2008.
Deconstruction and Democracy by A. J. P. ThomsonIn one of his most shocking remarks, Jacques Derrida claimed that there is "no deconstruction without democracy, [and] no democracy without deconstruction." Alex Thomson's goal in Deconstruction and Democracy is to show us why this claim is not so shocking after all. And he succeeds, but only at the price of losing the meaning we usually attach to the terms "politics" or "deconstruction" and replacing it with the abstract and purely academic material of the word "deconstruction."The greatest achievement of Thomson's book lies in its structure. As

Only a Promise of Happiness
The Place of Beauty in a World of Art
By Alexander Nehamas
Review by Ben Mulvey, Ph.D. on Tue, Jul 1st 2008.
Only a Promise of Happiness by Alexander NehamasOnly a Promise of Happiness: the Place of Beauty in a World of Art is a beautiful book.  I use the word 'beautiful' here with purpose, indeed with multiple purposes.  First, to the casual eye the book presents itself as a contribution to art history or appreciation.  Its cover (and who doesn't choose a book by its cover?) offers a color detail from Manet's Olympia, a work of some significant obsession on the part of the author; its more or less eight by ten inch dimensions; its thirteen color plates collected at the book's end and its seventy-nine black and w

Making Babies the Hard Way
Living with Infertility and Treatment
By Caroline Gallup
Review by Minna Forsell on Tue, Jul 1st 2008.
Making Babies the Hard Way by Caroline Gallup"We've opened up this baby-shaped hole in our lives. We have explored what it should look like, feel like, to be parents. How do we ever close that hole again and carry on as before?" writes Caroline Gallup in the beginning of chapter 14, at the end of her book about infertility and fertility treatment. The wish to get pregnant, the pain of wanting but not succeeding, the doubts and the not knowing what is right or when to stop trying -- this is what Making Babies the Hard Way is about. It is the depiction of a physical, emotional, social and economical challenge that most people

Psychotherapy without the Self
A Buddhist Perspective
By Mark Epstein
Review by Laura Cook on Tue, Jul 1st 2008.
Psychotherapy without the Self by Mark EpsteinIn Psychotherapy Without the Self, Epstein attempts to bring Buddhist practice and western psychotherapy into dialogue. Over recent years psychotherapists have become increasingly interested in meditative practice. Similarly Buddhists have taken interest in western psychotherapeutic practice. Whilst this has been partially fruitful, Epstein suggests that there have been a number of problems, where eastern and western practitioners have a mutually misunderstood each other. In part, these misunderstandings have led western practitioners to be wary of meditative practice, perceiving dangers in th

The Light of Discovery
By Toni Packer
Review by Marko Zlomislic on Tue, Jul 1st 2008.
The Light of Discovery by Toni PackerIn her foreword to Packer's latest book, Joan Tollifson writes that Packer has the courage "to put aside all the books, all the authorities, and be with the moment at hand". This claim however remains a poetic insight rather than a piece of enlightenment advice.The question to ask is why do radical Zen teachers have the desire to write books and to attach their signature and identity to them? If we take Packer's advice to "observe what is", we need to ask another naïve and simple question, namely, why does a Zen master need to copyright her work? If there is no

Shadow Chamber
By Roger Ballen
Review by Christian Perring on Tue, Jul 1st 2008.
Shadow Chamber by Roger BallenSouth African photographer Roger Ballen works with his subjects to make very bizarre pictures that make the viewer uncomfortable.  His subjects are young people and people who look as if they have developmental delays.  Others show dead animals tied up or doll's heads with flies on them.  Kittens and puppies look unhappy, and children wear masks.  A pig seems to be handing from a rope around its neck.  Bodies look distorted, or appear in strange postures.  A man lies under a rough blanket while a budgerigar sits in a tree branch fixed to a wall next to him.&nb
