WALTER'S ENCYCLOPEDIA is a unique scientific and personal research glossary published by a maverick researcher of our times. This present version of the glossary is addressed to the academic world. An illustrated edition is equally available and comes in two volumes. The research goes back to 1985 and thus spans a period of 25 years. In the first part, terms are explicated that are general, redefined or proprietary. In the second part, personalities of fame and renowned people are descibed who had some or the other impact upon the author's perception and value system. The most important entries of this research glossary are those that are proprietary to the author, such as 'The Eight Patterns of Living', 'The Science of Emonics', 'Emosexuality', 'Emosexcoaching', 'Life Authoring', 'Live Your Love', 'Oedipal Culture', 'Pedoemotions', 'Pedoerotics', 'Primary Power', or 'The Legal Split in Child Protection'.
