Historians and the History of Transylvania
A number of scholars assess the role of the historian and the contributions of historiography in the interpretation of the major problems, most notably of nationalism, that have continued to create political and social conflict in Transylvania.

“Impromptu Man captures the remarkable impact of a singular genius, J.L. Moreno, whose creations—the best-known being psychodrama—have shaped our culture in myriad ways, many unrecognized. The record will be set straight for all time by this can’t-put-down biography, a tribute by Jonathan D. Moreno to his father’s masterly legacy.” —DANIEL GOLEMAN, author of Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ J.L.
