Akshita Bhandari _kshita_handari — The end was so weak! The whole thing boiled down to nothing much.

Diónis Red _rtificial_eapot — I learned that the Oedipus complex was central to Freud's psychoanalytical approach; and that as a person he was self-aware and restrained in a way Jung was far from being; that Freud and Jung saw themselves in a theoretical father-son relationship. Which is all very basic and not at the level of insight I'd expected here. Some simple case histories were rehearsed and a little of the more ludicrous sexual approaches to neurosis was touched on. Really, this was more a thriller than anything, with the plot built around an imagined murder. I felt the characters were interesting enough, but the details of early 20th century New York were what kept me reading. I am particularly impressed by bridges, and was riveted by details of the building of theManhatten Bridge, nearing completion in summer 1909: ..These bridges - the Brooklyn, the Williamsburg, the Manhattan - were, when constructed, the longest single spans in existenced... Together with the invention of spun-stell cable, one particualr technological innovation made them possible: the ingenious conceit of the pneumatic cassion. The problem to which the caisson responded was this. The massive support towers for these bridges, necessary to hold up their suspension cables, had to rest on foundations built underwater, almost a hundred feet beneath the surface. These foundations could not be laid directly on the soft riverbed. Instead, layer upon layer of sand, silt, shale, clay and boulder had to be dredged, broken, and sometimes dynamited until one reached bedrock. To perform such excavation undersater was universally regarded as impossible - until the idea of the pneumatic casson was hit upon. The caisson was basically an enormous wooden box. The Manhattan Bridge caisson, on the New York City side, had an area of seventeen thousand square feet..... Its floor was the riverbed itself. In essence, the pneumatic casson was the largest diving bell ever built. There's also description of Vanderbilts, Astors, and NY society which contrasts with some descriptions of more ordinary lives - in particular for instance of the workers in the caisson who are subjected to 'the bends' until decompression is better understood. One of those books I'd wanted to read, with a reputation which shrank on reading.
