Opening Time, Closing Time: A Journey from Hermes and Hesiod to Vico and Joyce
An intellectual iconoclast, Norman O. Brown was one of the most imaginative contributors to post–World War II cultural theory. His books, grounded in deep classical erudition, include Hermes the Thief (1947), a pioneering attempt to apply Marxist historiography to the evolution of a Greek myth; Life against Death (1959), his acclaimed psychoanalytic reinterpretation of history; Love's Body (1966), an aphoristic questioning of the rationalist foun…

Graphic Design: A New History (review)
Reviewed by: Graphic Design: A New History Barry M. Katz (bio) Graphic Design: A New History. By Stephen J. Eskilson. New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 2007. Pp. 464. $65. To people outside the field, the preoccupation of graphic designers with such arcane matters as serifs, ligatures, or full-page bleeds may seem charming, if slightly myopic. It is useful to take another perspective, however. We long ago became accustomed to the idea that…
Intelligent Design
The emergence of a serious literature on design corresponds, as well it should, to developments within professional practice itself. Until recently, designers were concerned primarily with the fashioning of objects for industrial, graphical, or decorative purposes. The available literature, not surprisingly, tilted toward superficial aesthetics (the coffee-table annuals), monographs on and sometimes by celebrity designers, and a smattering of sur…

Reyner Banham: Historian of the Immediate Future (review)
The historiography of twentieth-century design has been dominated by the remarkable dynasty of Nikolaus Pevsner, champion of the high modernists of the "first machine age," his student Reyner Banham, the perceptive and often acerbic interpreter of the popularizing second, and Banham's student Charles Jencks, who has positioned himself as the chronicler of the postmodern. Of the three, Banham is far and away the most complex thinker—he was known t…
Design and Feminism: Re-Visioning Spaces, Places, and Everyday Things (review)
Almost every professional field has had to confront the challenges posed by feminist scholarship, and they have done so on a number of different levels. In the sciences the issues have mostly concerned the history and sociology of the disciplines per se, although researchers have also investigated the possibility that the concepts of science themselves are gendered. In the engineering disciplines, where knowledge is typically generated with a mor…
Students' Self-Reports of Help-Seeking: The Impact of Psychological Problems, Stress, and Demographic Variables on Utilization of Formal and Informal Support
Undergraduates (N = 248) at a private, midsize, Midwestern university provided self-reports of their psychological problems; stress; demographic variables; and people to whom they talked when they had problems. Help sources ranged from natural to formal support. Three patterns of psychological problems emerged: internalized distress; alcohol abuse; and dysfunctional eating. Demographic variables included, but were not limited to; gender, age, cla…
Machiavellianism and Tolerance of Ambiguity
The relationship of Machiavellianism and Tolerance of Ambiguity was studied in 47 African-American college and university administrators. The mean score on Machiavellianism in the youngest group (30–40 yr.) of administrators was significantly higher on Machiavellianism than the mean of the oldest group (50 yr. and older) of administrators
Surgical Residents' Scores on Measures of Machiavellianism and Physicians' Uncertainty
51 self-reported scores on the Mach V Scale and 56 scores on Physician's Reactions to Uncertainty Constructs from surgical residents in three different specialties (30 general, 14 orthopedics, 9 urology, and 3 other) showed no significant difference between means on the two measures

Psychiatric Residents' Scores on Machiavellianism
For self-reports by 21 psychiatric residents on measures of Machiavellianism and Uncertainty no significant difference was noted by year in residency program, education, age, or gender
Machiavellian Scores of Nursing Faculty and Students
The purpose of the research was to identify differences in scores on Machiavellianism between nursing faculty and students. Measurement of Machiavellianism was on the Mach V Scale completed by 33 nursing faculty, 47 RN students completing the nursing baccalaureate, and 58 senior generic students in one baccalaureate nursing program. Each subject received a research packet coded for retrieval of the nonrespondents and reducing selection bias assoc…
Machiavellianism and Medical Career Choices
Medical career choices and Machiavellianism of 36 junior and 37 senior medical students at one private midwestern medical school were studied. Machiavellianism was measured by the Mach V Scale. Students choosing psychiatry did not score significantly higher on Machiavellianism than those choosing medicine, surgery, or other clinical medical specialties. This is contrary to previous research which indicated those medical students choosing psychiat…

Pp. ix+272; notes, index. $30.00.

Administrative Role and Educational Administration Program Effectiveness: Perception by Principals
A survey of 85 graduates from 14 midwestern universities offering doctoral degrees in educational administration was carried out to assess perceptions of graduates regarding their training program. The emphasis of the survey was on how closely their training corresponded to current perceptions of their roles as educational administrators. Most indicated emphasis in graduate training should more closely match the roles of administrators
Exploring the abortion problem in Canada
No one knows my country, neither the stranger nor its own sons. My country is hidden in the dark and teeming brains of youth upon the eve of its manhood. My country has not found itself nor felt its power nor learned its true place. It is all visions, and doubts and hopes and dreams. It is strength and weakness, despair and joy, and the wild confusions and restless strivings of a boy who has passed his boyhood, but is not yet a man. The Unknown C…

Praxis and Poiesis: Toward an Intellectual Biography of Herbert Marcuse [1898-1979]
The affluent, assimilated Jewish bourgeoisie of pre-World War I central Europe has proved to be an almost predictable source of some of the century's most radical political ideas: the elder Lukaics managed the largest bank in Szeged, Walter Benjamin's father was a wealthy Berlin art dealer, Horkheimer's was a prosperous member of the Stuttgart textile trade, and the list goes on. From rather modest beginnings, Carl Marcuse (the name, incidentally…

Errors of Misclassification in Neo-Piagetian Research
Errors of misclassification associated with two concept acquisition criteria and their effects on the actual significance level and power of a statistical test for sequential development of these concepts are the focus of this paper. This study provides a link between various mis classification models and subsequent statistical analyses. In addi tion, explicit illustrations of actual significance levels and power val ues are provided for differen…
A Multivariate Kruskal-Wallis Test With Post Hoc Procedures
An explicit statement of a statistic which is a nonparametric analogue to one-way MANOVA is presented. The statistic is a multivariate extension of the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test (1952). The large sample reference distribution of the test statistic is derived together with a set of computational formulas for the test statistic. In addition two post hoc procedures are developed and compared. The statistic and its post hoc procedures are ill…

A Personal Growth Workshop to Improve Academically High-Risk Students' Attitudes toward Teachers
A one-group, pre-posttest design was used to evaluate the effects of a one-day workshop on improving attitudes of high-risk students toward teachers. Fifteen teachers in a high school which participates in an inner city transfer program and which is located in an affluent suburban midwestern setting, were asked to identify students whom they felt were at high risk academically, i.e., might possibly fail to graduate. Criteria used for selection of…
