Existentialism and Human Emotions by Jean-Paul Sartre

Existentialism and Human Emotions by Jean-Paul Sartre lands on the |> SALE <| shelves in my shop.

Castle, Undated, Hardback in dust wrapper.

From the cover: "People have obscurely sensed that Jean-Paul Sartre was occupied with a philosophy immediately involved in the peculiar confusions that have beset this generation in all aspects of its culture, private as well as public. The chief effort of this work is to face the implications for personal action of a universe without purpose. That man is personally responsible for what he is and what he does; that there are no values external to man and no given human nature which he is obliged to fulfill; that man chooses his values and makes himself, and may therefore choose to be a different person — this is the heart of Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophy."

Taking the Group Seriously: Towards a Post-Foulkesian Group Analytic Theory by Farhad Dalal

Taking the Group Seriously: Towards a Post-Foulkesian Group Analytic Theory by Farhad Dalal lands on the |> SALE <| shelves in my shop.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 1998, Paperback.

First in this, paperback, edition.

From the cover: "In this critique and extension of the work of S. H. Foulkes, Farhad Dalai argues that Foulkesian group analysis has yet to construct a coherent group analytic paradigm that gives ontological priority to the idea of a group over that of individuals, and thus take the notion of the group seriously. The author draws out two Foulkesian theories: one that is orthodox and remains in the individual psychoanalytic frame, and one that is radical and is used as the basis of a radical theory of groups. He proposes that Foulkes himself was unable to break free of his Freudian antecedents, and that the basis of a group analytic paradigm is to be found in the work of the sociologist Norbert Elias rather than Foulkes.

The book offers the philosophical and metapsychological foundations of a post-Foulkesian group analytic paradigm. Critical in this new account are the roles given to power relations, the social and the history of social groups. One outcome of this is that the therapeutic project of group analysis is broadened to take account of notions of ideology and the roles they play in the structuring of the psyche. Drawing from a broad base of material that includes the psychoanalytic theories of Freud, Klein, Matte-Blanco, Winnicott and Fairbairn, the work also incorporates insights from a number of disparate fields — discourse theory, evolutionary biology, philosophy and sociology — which are used to extend and develop the Foulkesian notion of the social unconscious. These ideas are used to rethink a number of the central concepts of psychoanalysis and group analysis — for example group processes, the matrix, identity, the unconscious and the superego. Finally the author tests his ideas in the domains of 'race' and racism, shedding new light on notions of similarity and difference."

What Happens in Groups: Psychoanalysis, the Individual and the Community by R. D. Hinshelwood

What Happens in Groups: Psychoanalysis, the Individual and the Community by R. D. Hinshelwood lands on the |> SALE <| shelves in my shop.

Free Association Books, 1987, Paperback.

First in this, paperback, edition.

From the cover: "People are often utterly taken aback by the odd and alarming things that happen in groups, all sorts of groups — study groups, offices, clubs, political organizations, teams.

This is a book about the ways in which individuals collectively and individually seek to protect themselves from the worst aspects of group life. They develop, mostly unwittingly, specific group cultures, effects and problems. The numerous illustrations are taken from the wealth of small groups, large groups and multi-group systems that appear in a therapeutic community. The book is designed to be accessible to anyone working within groups, committees or institutions.

The author draws on the writings of other observers of group dynamics, in particular Bion, Jaques and Menzies Lyth. His unique contribution is to apply the insights of Kleinian psychoanalysis to the meetings of the groups. He develops a way of categorizing group cultures — rigid, fragile and flexible, which is intended to point to a basis for the development of a method of intervention into group and institutional life. Aside from the author's clarity and clinical acumen, he has written a truly useful book."

The Encyclopedia of Formula One: The New Definitive Guide to the Drivers, Cars, Circuits and Every World Championship Since 1950 by Tim Hill & Gareth Thomas

The Encyclopedia of Formula One: The New Definitive Guide to the Drivers, Cars, Circuits and Every World Championship Since 1950 by Tim Hill & Gareth Thomas lands on the |> SALE <| shelves in my shop.

Parragon, 2009, Hardback in dust wrapper.

Illustrated by way of: Black & White Photographs; Colour Photographs; Maps; Results Tables;

From the cover: "When the internal combustion engine was developed in the late nineteenth century, there were those who viewed it purely in utilitarian terms, as simply another means of getting from A to B. And there were those who wanted to test their vehicles — and themselves — to the absolute limit; to get from A to B quicker than anyone else. More than a century has passed since the days of the spectacular inter-city races which launched a new field of sporting endeavour. But the raw appeal remains the same: man and machine operating as one in high-risk, high-reward gladiatorial combat.

The chase for the victors' laurels gained fresh momentum in 1950, when the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile launched the world championship. The 30 men who have held the coveted title to date include legendary names who would feature in any list of all-time greats: Fangio, Brabham, Clark, Stewart, Senna, Prost, Schumacher. Others came agonisingly close to gaining a seat at the top table. Stirling Moss missed out narrowly on several occasions, Wolfgang von Trips was killed when the 1961 title lay within his grasp, while team orders robbed the mercurial Gilles Villeneuve of the crown in 1979.

This book chronicles the history of the world championship, from Giuseppe Farina's victory for Alfa Romeo at Silverstone on 13 May 1950 to the present day. All the top drivers are profiled, and there is a wealth of information on the major Marques and championship venues, while the comprehensive statistics section will settle many an argument. It is a story of ingenuity and endeavour, rivalry and camaraderie, triumph and tragedy, in pursuit of the greatest prize in motor sport."

How I Play Golf by Tiger Woods with the editors of Golf Digest

How I Play Golf by Tiger Woods with the editors of Golf Digest lands on the |> SALE <| shelves in my shop.

Little, Brown & Co., 2001, Hardback in dust wrapper.

Illustrated by way of: Colour Photographs [Some Fold-Out]; Diagrams;

From the cover: "The youngest Masters champion ever. The first person since 1953 to win three majors in one year. The fifth — and youngest — golfer to complete a career grand slam. There is, simply, no one who can match the achievements of Tiger Woods. He will win more majors than Arnold Palmer and me combined, claimed Jack Nicklaus and, the frightening thing is, he's probably right. For Tiger Woods is more than just the best golfer in the world today: he is the most complete player of his era.

Now, in How I Play Golf, Tiger allows us the inside track into his tactics and techniques, and explains what makes his golf 'tick'. Whether you are an absolute beginner, an enthusiastic amateur, or one of Tiger's fellow professionals, this book is the essential guide to how to understand — and improve — your game.

Tiger takes his game apart in the same way as he does the field on the back nine on a championship Sunday, he starts where other golfing books end: on the putting green. From there he moves to building a swing to last, sand play, iron play, fairway woods and the driver. There are also chapters on golf psychology, how to break those bad habits and Tiger's suggested diet and exercise routines.

Beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated, Have I Play Golf is the ultimate golf book from the greatest golfer in the world. From sorting out your swing plane to bouncing the ball off the face of your sand wedge (and looking cool doing it), Tiger tells you everything you need to know to make you a better golfer."

Index, 1998, Hardback in dust wrapper.

First in this edition. Illustrated by way of: Colour Photographs; Diagrams; Tables; Illustrated endpapers and blanks;

From the cover: "From the Alfa Romeo spider to Lamborghini's Diablo; from the sensational Chevrolet Corvette to the stream-lined Toyota Celica, here is the ultimate history of cars manufactured since 1976, plus those dream and futuristic cars that were marvels of car design, even though they never made it into production.

The Encyclopedia of Dream Cars is the modern guide to the automobile. This comprehensive visual reference shows every important marque from A-Z, highlighting some of the most significant and beautiful cars of the century: the Jaguar XJ 220, the McLaren F1, the Pontiac Firebird and the Lotus Esprit. Detailed descriptions, history and technical information accompany every entry, making this the most authoritative and comprehensive guide to the contemporary classic car.

In addition to presenting the newest cars, this book also highlights the world's dream cars that were built as showcases but were never mass-produced. From the design houses of Bertone, Ghia, Ital Design, Ogle and Pininfarina, these dream cars are at the very cutting edge of car design: futuristic models that were deemed too daring, too brash or too expensive to be marketable, but which pay tribute to the imagination and drive of car designers today.

With over 900 stunning images of the cars, this book is a definitive gallery of classic and dream cars. It is a decisive reference for every enthusiast, every collector and lover of the automobile."
