1 comments about William Henry Holmes and the Rediscovery of the American West.

1. William Henry Holmes & The Rediscovery Of The American West provides the first full-length biography of the western artist and his involvement in western excursions. The topographical illustrator's geologic knowledge set him apart from the usual illustrator and helped advance science as well as discoveries about the West. An intriguing survey.

1 comments about Freud.

1. Using a fresh and vital approach to biography, Dr. Mannoni offers in this book a slendid account of Freud's life and theories. Breaking the biographers usual chronological order, the author discusses Freud's life by topic, moving effortessly among the many facets of Freud's career, weaving back and forth in time from one foundation stone of psychoanalysis to another. The result is an extraordinarily cogent and perceptive analysis of the career of the master, distinguished by Dr. Mannoni's lucid explanations of Freud's basic theories.
   
   When this book was published in France in 1969, it was welcomed as an absolutely original addition to the psychiatric literature. According to Le Nouvel Observateur, the "stunning clarity" of Dr. Mannoni's study of the genesis of Freudian thought makes it "a crystal clear introduction to psychoanalysis."

1 comments about The Papers and Correspondence of William Stanley Jevons Vol. 5: Correspondence, 1879-1882 (Papers & Correspondence of William Stanley Jevons Vol. 5).

1. Jevons was a proponent of a famous theory on utility in
   fair exchanges. His work was mathematical and statistical
   in nature. He argued:

   "If a person has any useful object, but an object belonging to
   another person would have greater utility, he will be glad
   to give the one in return for the other. But it is a necessary
   condition that the other person will likewise gain, or at least
   not lose by the exchange."

   In addition, he concluded that:

   "A balance of utility on both sides will lead to an exchange."

   A brief account of a general mathematical theory of political
   economy was presented in the Journal of the Royal Statistical
   Society of London in June of 1866 pp. 282-287

   This work summarizes some of Jevons' more important
   correspondence and personal papers. It serves as an excellent
   reference for economic theorists, historians and econometricians.
   These papers will complement any course in economic theory
   by providing the personal dimension of the author as enunciated
   in the original writings. The fact that some of the papers
   were published just after Lincoln's Presidency will add an
   additional dimension for exploration by professional historians.
