Shaped by Maitland Jones's years of classroom experience at Princeton University, Organic Chemistry remains committed to helping students understand--rather than memorize--the fundamental concepts of organic chemistry. Retaining the authoritative coverage, informal style, and abundance of carefully annotated figures of its predecessors, this Third Edition strives for even greater accessibility with a clean new design, new pedagogy, and enhanced treatment of topics like acids and bases, synthesis, and spectroscopy.

George Eliot, author of "Middlemarch", Adam Bede", "Silas Marner", "Felix Holt" and "Mill on the Floss" was the greatest literary heroine of the 19th century. At the peak of her career she was one of the three most famous women in Victorian England. This book draws upon Eliot's previously unpublished letters to create a revised portrait of her both as a woman and as an artist. The author examines the Victorian contradictions she faced as an intellect, a sensitive individual and a plain woman, rejecting the view of previous biographers that she depended on men. Rather, he sees each of her unusual relationships - with Charles Bray, John Chapman, Herbert Spencer and finally with the married Lewes - as a form of absorption of their place in the masculine world that was denied to her directly.

The Gambler brilliantly captures the strangely powerful compulsion to bet that Dostoyevsky, himself a compulsive gambler, knew so well. The hero rides an emotional roller coaster between exhilaration and despair, and secondary characters such as the Grandmother, who throws much of her fortune away at the gaming tables, are unforgettable. The book's publishing history is equally so: Under the pressure of a deadline from an unscrupulous publisher, and with rights to his entire oeuvre at stake, Dostoyevsky dictated the book in less than a month to the star pupil of Russia's first shorthand school. Then he married her.

"Conflicts play an infinitely greater role in neurosis than is commonly assumed. To detect them, however, is no easy matter - partly because they are essentially unconscious, but even more because the neurotic goes to any length to deny their existence." Karen Horney proceeds to show how the neurotic tries to solve his fears of being split apart on the one hand and his need to function as a unity on the other. She develops a dynamic theory of neurosis centered on the basic conflict between the attitudes of "moving toward," "moving against," and "moving away from" people. An individual may be able to create a kind of artificial equilibrium, but new conflicts are generated and further remedies are required that can make the neurotic more hostile, more helpless, more fearful, and more alienated from himself and from others. Dr. Horney makes it clear that, in the hands of experts, the severe neurotics can be helped. Unlike Freud, she does not regard neurosis as rooted in instinct. In her words, her theory is "constructive because ... it allows us for the first time to tackle and resolve neurotic hopelessness.... Neurotic conflicts cannot be resolved by rational decision. The neurotic's attempts at solution are not only futile but harmful. But these conflicts can be resolved by changing the conditions within the personality that brought them into being." "The book represents a definite contribution to the theory and practice of psychoanalysis which is at once intelligent, original, and stimulating." -Ashley Montagu, Psychiatry "One is impressed by the richness of her clinical experience and by her accuracy as an observer and expositor." -Maxwell Gitelson, Social Science Review
