Customer Reviews:
Do Not Trust This Book.......2005-07-14
I edited the latest edition of Exploring Agriscience, and if you are a teacher do not buy it. It is so rife with errors as to be useless. This author would have you believe that all hormones, steroids, and chemicals used by the dairy and meat industry are safe. He would have you not to worry about any of the pesticides and that people are just worry over nothing. He also concludes that the organic industry is a waste of money, time, and effort, and that no proof exists that organic food is better than mass produced food.
If an adult read this book, I would assume he/she would be able to read between the lines. However, an 8th grader (this book's audience) will not know that he/she is being fed industry propaganda.
Please think twice about buying this book for your students unless you are prepared to undo much of the damage it incurs.

Brilliant.......2006-06-12
This little book is indubitable proof of the breadth and depth of Freud's thinking. It is a fascinating and multi-faceted read, containing elements of psychoanalysis, philosophy, poetry, biology, and the literary theory. You will not believe how quickly Freud is able to move from topic to topic and the absurd range within which he is able to speculate. This is also an extraordinarily challenging read, it requires patience and many re-readings. Freud discusses the compulsion to repeat, transference neurosis, life and death drives, and a number of other cognitive and behavioral topics.Here is a curious quote I adore: "In the last resort, what has left its mark on the development of organisms must be the history of the earth we live in and its relation to the sun" (pg. 45).
Beyond the Pleasure Principle is a seminal component of his expansive corpus, and should be standard reading for psychologists.
Happy, Deadly, Wild Psychology!.......2001-02-10
Sigmund Freud's "Beyond the Pleasure Principle" is a key text, not only for psychologists, or literary theorists, but anyone who thinks about why our minds work the way they do. If your mind is open to extreme possibilities, give this text a read. It is short, barely 75 pages, but give yourself time to pore over and make notes, as Freud moves very quickly.
In "Beyond the Pleasure Principle," Freud seeks to discover the causes and effects of our drives. To this end, he begins with the pleasure principle, which basically holds that the job of our 'mental apparatus' is to lower tension and move us towards pleasure and stability. Working against the pleasure principle are our baser instincts, which must be repressed by a vigilant brain. The pleasure principle can also be interrupted by the reality principle, which operates in moments when basic life functions are threatened - to wit, when maintaining life is more important than pleasure.
Examining the pleasure principle, Freud looks at scenarios which may shed light on mental processes that seem to challenge it. These include repetition compulsion, wherein adults seem to fixate and reenact moments of trauma. Seeking a more primal cause for repetition instinct, Freud analyses children's games. Interestingly, the further Freud regresses, the more speculative and intense he gets - from childhood, Freud talks about the brain itself, moving back to simple multicellular organisms, unicellular organisms, and ultimately inorganic matter - all the time looking for an explanation of the origin of instincts themselves.
Freud's queries on instinct and repetition compulsion lead him to the darkest possible places - the revelation of the death instinct. Freud posits that the repetition compulsion manifests itself in all conscious beings in the desire to return to the earliest state, total inactivity. The remainder of his treatise is spent developing the conditions of the death instinct, and trying to find a way out of this shocking thesis. Taking up Hesiodic Eros as symbolic of the life instinct, Freud attempts to argue out of the seemingly inescapable conclusion.
Freud's writing style is direct and fluid, but not necessarily straightforward. If you're not paying attention, Freud can go over your head quickly. For example, on page 50 of this standard edition, his line of argument dismisses Darwin, Marx, and Nietzsche in a matter of two paragraphs to astounding effect. His language is highly figurative, drawing on philosophy, literature, biology, and anecdote to make and illustrate his points. A critical text for anyone interested in psychoanalysis and its figurehead author.
a classic not for beginners...........2000-05-28
....but a daring example of the willingness of a thinker to make fundamental changes to his theoretical framework very late in his career. This is where Freud shifts his emphasis from ego vs. id instincts to the famous Eros/death polarity, clinically questionable but archetypally informative.
Beyound Psycho-analysim.......2000-04-18
Freud did a remarkable job of reinstateing, and clearifying exsisting established beliefs, In this his finale publishcation. Although it is a bit wordy on occassions, a even a bit (dare i say) nonsenseacal. It is a enlightning and fasanating piece of work. And though I would'nt recommend it for new-comers to the world of psyco-analysim, it is diffently worth reading.

A Voice and Nothing More (Short Circuits)
ASIN: 0801423880 |
Book Description
What is it about opera that can bring unashamed tears to the eyes of adoring fans? In this book, first published in French in 1986 and now available in English, Michel Poizat explains in a charming way the fascination of the interaction between music and words. Touching on a variety of historical musical events, operatic themes, specific works, and individual composers, Poizat borrows some methods from the field of psychoanalysis to satisfy his curiosity about the strange power of the human voice.
Customer Reviews:
A Stunning Adventure.......2000-02-20
One of the best books I have read in ten years. I have been reading a LOT of books about opera but this one stands alone because it answers questions about what motivates, captures and captivates opera lovers. Poizat's book falls into three main pieces. He begins with a transcript of a long conversation that actually took place among passionate opera fans standing overnight for tickets to the next night's Tristan performance at the Paris Opera. The fans talk about their passion, bordering on obsession in many cases. What drives opera fans to spend too much money, to stand in the rain, to travel to other cities? Theirs is a quest for what Poizat calls "The Lost Voice." The second section explains, using psychology concepts, Jungian archetypes and a dizzying scope directly into the human soul. Poizat uses the concept of "jouissance" which the translator warns cannot be translated directly into English. It has elements of ownership, our ability to enjoy something because we possess it but also encompasses a type of ecstasy not removed from sexual pleasure. This is the driving force of the quest for The Lost Voice. Once experienced, we are ever seeking more. The third section illuminates how The Lost Voice appears in operas through many examples. Through The Lost Voice we experience divine silence, the silence that rings out after the Angel's Cry. The book wraps neatly by coming back to the waiting fans to hear the end of their conversation. "To go to the opera is to listen to life?" one says. "I'm absolutely certain of that," comes the answer. "A kind of truth appears, a physical truth...an intellectual truth even." The tape breaks off shorty thereafter at an ironic and profound moment in the conversation. Well, you have to read it for yourself! If you think you know what a book on opera reads like, you owe it to your jaded self to get this book. It raised the hairs on the back of my neck more than once. --Joy Hajduk-DeGraff, Chicago, Illinois
