The Wonder of American Toys reflects not only the toys of perhaps the most formative era of American history, but what they meant to the children who played with them and to the society that produced them.
The Mississippi River is as much an American symbol as it is a river, carrying the hopes and despair of many in its timeless currents. It thus serves as an apt backdrop for the midlife crisis of Harry McNeil, a man who leaves the hard-hitting world of television journalism for the life of a riverboat pilot in The Great River. A fascinating new novel from Charles Dee Sharp, author of the highly praised The Mississippi River in 1953, The Great River unfolds as a journey of a man looking for the purpose and freedom that have eluded him so far in life. As the riverboat Argus makes its way from the river's northern reaches in Minneapolis to the steamy swamps of New Orleans, MacNeil crosses paths ...

The recent discovery of reels of original film negative, hours of outtake material, numerous photographs, production notes and personal and business correspondance is the occasion for this retrospective publication."--BOOK JACKET.
"For more than four decades, Bruno Bettelheim was regarded by a large public as one of the world's most important and influential psychotherapists, a Viennese intellectual who stood as "one of Freud's few genuine heirs of our time." In fact, as Richard Pollak documents in this revelatory new biography, Bettelheim was a lumber dealer who grandly reinvented himself with a faked set of academic credentials after emigrating to the United States in 1939. In the years that followed, deception followed deception as Bettelheim claimed that he had traveled in Freud's circle, had treated autistic children in Vienna, had interviewed 1,500 fellow prisoners for his famous psychological study of concentra...
