| GREAT BOOKS: A Library of Social Science Publisher Promotion |
|
|
STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS
Library of Social Science is moving toward being a full service book promotion company. We've focused on book exhibits, but our illustrious Library of Social Science Newsletter enables us now to do more for publishers: to publicize and sell their great books to prominent scholars, Professionals and students around the world.
Business and scholarship go hand in hand. The books below are ones that I have selected myself. Whenever I accomplished something when I was a youth, my Aunt Dorothy insisted that I "tell the world, tell the world." This compulsion has carried over to the present day. When I discover something excellent or exciting, I cannot resist "telling the world."
Library of Social Science will be doing this more frequently: Telling the world about our clients' best, most important publications.
Best regards,
Richard Koenigsberg, PhD
Director, Library of Social Science

Humanity's Dark Side: Evil, Destructive
Experience, and Psychotherapy (APA Books)
Human destructiveness can take many forms, from the everyday "little" ways in which we hurt each other to atrocities like genocide and slavery. In this book, prominent writers on psychotherapy present different views on humanity's dark side, and consider how these views impact their clinical practice.

Culture, Trauma, and Conflict (Cambridge Scholars Publishing)
War was pervasive in the 20th century, and the 21st century seems to hold little promise of improvement. Cultural War Studies analyzes the conflicts that push us to glorify killing our fellow human beings, and how we then try to forget the self-inflicted trauma.

Freud & American Sociology (Polity)
Although Freud's impact on social science has been extraordinary, his impact on American sociology has been left relatively unexplored. This ground-breaking book examines the work of pioneers such as G. H. Mead, Cooley, Parsons and Goffman to provide a history of the role Freud and psychoanalysis played in the development of American social theory.
