Civilization and Its Discontents
Civilization and Its Discontents

Review:As a behavioral psychologist, I found this book interesting from an historical perspective.

Reconciling the Erotic & the Domestic - Mating in Captivity
Reconciling the Erotic & the Domestic - Mating in Captivity

Review:This book is easy to read, not boring.
Some points of view are questionable and don't really help in one individual life
it doesn't have any new ideas that you can catch and use when you have a difficult situation.

The size of this book it would be impossible to make notes and if you started highlighting and underlining it would soon look like a ... Read more
