In this book, Robert Kramer argues that Otto Rank, not Sigmund Freud, created modern psychotherapy, which focuses on the therapist-client relationship. Rank's relational approach to therapy can today be found in social work, counseling, and psychotherapy. This book translates Rank's complex thought into language any reader can grasp easily.

In Rethinking Metaphysics, Amie Thomasson aims to change how we think about metaphysics: what it can do, and why it matters. Traditional metaphysics has aimed to discover deep truths about the world. But this has led to rivalries with science, epistemological mysteries, and a despairing scepticism about how we could gain knowledge in metaphysics. Thomasson argues that the problems with prior approaches to metaphysics arise from a problematic assumption that all discourse functions in the same way. By better understanding the plurality of linguistic functions, we can also disentangle ourselves from many old metaphysical problems--including problems about properties, numbers, morality and modality.

This elegant profile reveals that Hamilton was one of the key founding fathers of the United States.

In The Great Museum of the Sea, archaeologist, museum director, television host, journalist, and award-winning author James Delgado takes the reader on a personal tour of the world of shipwrecks, including many of the more than one hundred lost ships he has personally discovered, investigated, excavated and shared in print and on screen.
