'report on the Agrarian Law' (1795) and Other Writings

Were there ever two formations with less in common than 'the Internet,' a machinic transmission of discrete data, and 'psychoanalysis,' a wild science of messy social relationality? Clint Burnham’s genius is to show how psychoanalysis is indispensable to any robust theory of digital culture, but as well to reveal the cybernetics already at work in psychoanalytic theory from Freud to Žižek. In readings of multiple media, he vividly demonstrates the ongoing necessity of concepts like negation, enjoyment, and disavowal for making sense of aesthetic productions like cinema, social experiences like Facebook, and the cyber mode of production that binds online pleasures to offline battery factories. This is an expansive, fascinating book, offering its readers a dazzling plenty of speculation and critique.

&#8220;Dr. Joe Helms is the father of medical acupuncture in America. I&#8217;ve been enthusiastically recommending his work to physicians and patients for almost thirty years. In his new book he combines the ancient art of acupuncture with his extensive experience in treating illnesses and observing human behavior. The result is a practical guide that can help anyone have better health.&#8221;&#8212;Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women&#8217;s Bodies, Women&#8217;s Wisdom and Mother-Daughter Wisdom&#8220;Dr. Helms has long been the premier educator of physicians in the art of medical acupuncture. In this book he shows how acupuncture can make sense of much of what goes wrong with us&#8212;even at te earliest signs of disturbance&#8212;and help us in our medical decisions. Getting to Know You is the premier source for the thinking public to understand and integrate acupuncture into their personal health care.&#8221;&#8212;Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Spontaneous Healing and Healthy Aging&#8220;Joe Helms describes an approach to health and disease where there is no division between the mind and the body.

'This erudite and accessible study of social contract theory brings a welcome new perspective to the legacy of modern political thought. This perspective yields innovative interpretations of notions such as equality, justice and "the individual". The inclusion of the usually neglected Spinoza adds depth to Richardson's brilliant and provocative project of rethinking the relevance of classical contractarianism for theory and practice today.' Moira Gatens, University of Sydney, Australia  'Richardson's book provides a stimulating analysis of how feminist theorists engage with the social contract tradition and how conceptions of the self can be reformulated.'

From the reviews:

"Readers interested in gaining information on ‘mainstream’ cognitive behavior theory (CBT) topics … will not be disappointed. However, the diversity of topics covered is broad enough that those interested in topics outside the mainstream are not likely to be disappointed either. Even seasoned CBT clinicians and researchers are likely to find applications of CBT in this volume that are new to them. … it provides information of interest to a wide range of readers – from novices to experts." (Christina S. McCrea, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 51 (8), 2006)
"Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT) has been reported to be among the most widely practiced therapy techniques in the United States. … At approximately 450 pages, the encyclopedia is concise in size, yet comprehensive in scope. … A list of references for further research is provided at the end of every article. … it provides an excellent and broad overview and would fit the needs of students, therapists, or patients who wish to learn more about the applications of cognitive behavior therapy." (Lorraine Evans, ARBA online, March, 2007)

&#8220;THIS COUNTDOWN BOOK begins with a cheery band of 10 masked and costumed children leaving an apartment building to begin their night of fun. As they board a bus to go to a party and trick-or-treat from house to house, their number slowly diminishes as each successive child is frightened off by costumed vampires, mummies, a frog, a bat, and other spooky creatures. The last brave child returns to her apartment, climbs happily into bed, and then there were none. The book ends with a yummy array of different types of candy that kids will enjoy counting. Schulman&#8217;s rhythmic text will be enjoyed as a read-aloud as well as by beginning readers. Davick&#8217;s vibrant graphic art is chockablock with shapes and angles that keep the mood light and the creatures and costumed monsters more fun than frightening. A not-too-scary treat for the youngest Halloween fans.&#8221;&#8212;School Library Journal
