Raymond Cattell, the father of personality trait measurement, was one of the most influential psychologists in the twentieth century, the author of fifty-six books, more than five hundred journal articles and book chapters, and some thirty standardized instruments for assessing personality and intelligence in a professional career that spanned almost seventy years.

Literal Lattt
For fifteen years, New York's community literary paper, Literal Latté, has kept free thought free, developed new writers, and fed hungry readers. Debuting in 1994, Literal Latté filled a void for aspiring writers and editors. In the modern world, where it is almost impossible to get published without an agent and almost impossible to get an agent without getting published, Literal Latté provided a much-needed missing link. Serving up thirty-thousand free copies in New York's coffeehouses, book stores, and arts organizations, the editors published the highest level of new literature-a feast in many flavors. Suddenly, good writing, in a friendly and accessible format, became as popular as c...
Shoot the Buffalo
The summer Aldous Bohm turns nine, his parents move to the woods near Snoqualmie ,Washington, "to reinvent the American family." The Bohm's are working class hippies in post-Vietnam America. Their makeshift pastoral takes shape in a haze of pot smoke and good intentions and ultimately births a vortex of personal insecurity and romanticism taking the family deeper into the woods to destroy them. Aldous oversees these tragedies, recalled a decade later, after he has left Snoqualmie to join the military in the buildup to the first Gulf War. This novel conjoins the dead end narrative of American masculinity with the Romantic ideal of nature to suggest an ambivalent way forward, a path out of these woods.

He finds young people to take the place of his wife and himself in assuring the survival of Cretaceous World, the park his wife and he created. Global warming has proceeded as predicted, and the fate of Homo sapiens has become obviously uncertain. People come to see the genetically engineered recreations of dinosaurs and are made more aware of humanity's own vulnerability to extinction. Ted succeeds in creating a new family structure whose three generations will guide the park through the immediate future. He also keeps alive his wife's memory while coping with the challenges of the uncertain future.
