Sex in Marriage
First Published in 1963, Sex in Marriage presents down to earth, practical guidance on the emotional and physical aspects of life, love and marriage. The authors both experienced psychotherapists, have felt that a new approach was needed. The book explains in a straightforward and thorough manner the sources of satisfaction and the roots of discontent that lie beneath the surface of any marriage. It traces marriage from the beginning, through its middle years and into its older stages, including considerations that are concrete and practical but still have a fundamental and sound emotional base.

For Mowitt, percussion is both an experience of embodiment—making contact in and on the skin—and a provocation for critical theory itself. In delimiting the percussive field, he plays drumming off against the musicological account of the beat, ...

A Century of Jewish Life In Dixie
The first substantial history of the Jews in the industrial south This is the first substantial history of the Jews in any inland town or city of the industrial South. The author starts with the Reconstruction Period when the community was established and he carries the story down into the 1970’s. First there were the “Germans,”' the pioneers who built the community; then came the East Euopean emigres who had to cope not only with the problem of survival but the disdain if not the hostility of the already acculturated Central European settlers who had forgotten their own humble beginnings. After World War I came the fusion of the two groups and the need to cooperate religiously and to integrate their cultural, social, and philanthropic institutions. Binding them together and speeding the rise of a total Jewish community was the ever present fear of anti-Jewish prejudice and the “peculiar” problem, a real one, of steering a course between the Christian Whites and the Christian Blacks.
