Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.: Ivan R Dee, 1998 In this stimulating and original book, Martin Wain provides the first coherent view of the roots of Freudian psychoanalysis.

In the new urban industrial age of the late 19th century, Wain shows that Freud and his colleagues were social, political, and economic therapists in the broadest sense. Their patient was modern Western culture at a time of disorder and m... more information

Burton-On-Trent, Staffordshire, United Kingdom: Wrens Park Publishing, 2000 King Harold Godwineson (c. 1022-66) is one of history's shadowy figures, known mainly for his defeat and death at the battle of Hastings. His true status and achievements have been overshadowed by the events of October 1066 and by the bias imposed by the Norman victory. In reality, he deserves to be recalled as one of England's greatest rulers. This volume sets out to correct this distorted image by presenting Harold's l... more information
