Lennard J. Davis
Obsession: A History
"Meditating on the great paradox of obsession—it generates brilliance and causes dysfunction—Davis does more than provide a fascinating cultural history of an elemental human condition. He tells the story, moving and memorable, of one of the life’s most enduring curses and gifts."—Eric G. Wilson, author of Against Happiness: In Praise of Melancholy
David McNeill
Gesture and Thought
"McNeill challenges traditional concepts in psychology and linguistics by arguing for the integration of body and mind and of dynamic and static aspects of language and thought—as opposed to separating them. This is a radically innovative work that will become a classic in psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, and anthropology. After having read it nobody will ever be able to think that the body and the mind are separate things again."—Cornelia Müller, Free University of Berlin
Thomas S. Weisner, editor
Discovering Successful Pathways in Children's Development: Mixed Methods in the Study of Childhood and Family Life
"Weisner's volume has been published at the perfect time in psychology's history, when developmental neuroscientists, psychologists, and community interventionists are beginning to speak the same language.…An excellent resource for scientists, practitioners, students, and policymakers."—Tasha R. Howe, Contemporary Psychology
Orville Gilbert Brim, Carol D. Ryff, and Ronald C. Kessler, editors
How Healthy Are We?: A National Study of Well-Being at Midlife
"The book is unique because the data-set is groundbreaking. No other survey includes the breadth and depth of information on well-being, life quality, family relationships, employment experience, and other important dimensions of life experience."—Linda K. George, Duke University
