A striking exmination of the harsh relities of being human, Robert Frey's Our Future in Light of Twentieth-Century Evil perceptively examines such significant foundations of American culture as religion, science, education and political experession i light fo the European Holocaust. His work offers poignant and collective re-direction for each of these areas of life, in light of the moral and social evil that have stained our century. Non-sectarian and multidisciplinary in its approach, this work offers bridge buidingg solutions of conceptual and practical understanding across epistemic and ideational divides. Historically and scientifically gorunded, Our Future in Light of Twentieth-Century Evil poses and explores difficult, probing questions about our nature, our divisions, our beliefs and our basis for hope. Frey suggests that, "for our collectives future to have meaning beyond privatized economic or religious refuge, talk must cohere into clear-minded visions and pathways illuminated by compassion, informed tolerance, sacrifice, humility and obligation directed toward the Earth, our fellow human beings, and generations unborn." He continues, "Hope, history and human culture emanate from each one of us. The results in our world are our own. Therein is our genuine power."Our Future in Light of Twentieth-Century Evil synthesizes disparate concepts in a manner accessible to all thoughtful people. A definite "must have" for every library.

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Patient, the first book of non-fiction written by Gerald Alper, is also the first serious attempt to explore in depth the dynamics of the yet-to-be recognized, unfulfilled and usually perplexed fledgling artist. The artist tries to live in two separate worlds: a factual, linear, banal, reality-driven outer world that is best kept at arm's length; and a creatively organized, aesthetically orchestrated, dramatically engaging inner world that is forever being obsessively cultivated. Indeed, facilitating the patient in his or her efforts to forge a usable bridge between these generally discontinuous worlds is no small part of the task of the therapist who elects to work with such young artists.
