Trenchtown Rock - Bob Marley (180Gr) 2 Lp Set - TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

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.

“Basement Magic” – Story of a child, her neglectful stepmother, and the maid. “Intelligent Design” – God as a child, and what he made in the kitchen. “The Green Glass Sea” – A child of Manhattan Project scientists visits the Trinity site. “Clip Art” – A transcript of a documentary on the subject of the object that has changed our lives so much. “Triangle” – Horror story on a relic of Nazi policies. “The Feed Bag” – Poem of a childhood memory of eating at a diner. “Flying Over Water” – A child finds that she has a natural instinct for salt water swimming. “Möbius, Stripped of a Muse” – A story within a story within a story … “Time Gypsy” – Grad student travels back in time fifty years to find physics and a very repressive environment for a gay woman. “Be Prepared” – Critical commentary on an Alien Monster's culinary habits. “Travel Agency” – The pleasures of getting lost in a book. “A Taste of Summer” – A visit to the local ice cream store brings a revelation of chemistry. “Ringing Up Baby” – A girl decides her little sister-to-be should have certain genetic features. “Guys Day Out” – Raising a child with Down's syndrome in the sixties. “Portable Childhoods” – A woman watches her daughter learn “In the House of the Seven Librarians” – Ensconced in a former Carnegie library, seven librarians find a child on their doorstep. The stories are good, although a few might be considered trifles. Fortunately, Klages knows how to keep the trifles short and amusing, while letting the other stories breathe and grow. In particular, “The Green Glass Sea”, “Guys Day Out”, and “Time Gypsy” are excellent, while “In the House of the Seven Librarians”, which could have been a trifle, instead is a delightful fable of growing up with literature and the people who know where everything should be shelved. Only “Triangle” is off – the object of horror doesn't really have anything to do with actions of the viewpoint character, and if you subscribe to the “gets what they deserve” school of horror writing, the aim is very off.
