In the 1930s C. G. Jung embarked upon a bold investigation into childhood dreams as remembered by adults to better understand their significance to the lives of the dreamers. Jung presented his findings in a four-year seminar series at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Children's Dreams marks their first publication in English, and fills a critical gap in Jung's collected works.

Here we witness Jung the clinician more vividly than ever before--and he is witty, impatient, sometimes authoritarian, always wise and intellectually daring, but also a teacher who, though brilliant, could be vulnerable, uncertain, and humbled by life's great mysteries. These seminars represent the most penetrating account of Jung's insights into children's dreams and the psychology of childhood. At the same time they offer the best example of group supervision by Jung, presenting his most detailed and thorough exposition of Jungian dream analysis and providing a picture of how he taught others to interpret dreams. Presented here in an inspired English translation commissioned by the Philemon Foundation, these seminars reveal Jung as an impassioned educator in dialogue with his students and developing the practice of analytical psychology.

An invaluable document of perhaps the most important psychologist of the twentieth century at work, this splendid volume is the fullest representation of Jung's views on the interpretation of children's dreams, and signals a new wave in the publication of Jung's collected works as well as a renaissance in contemporary Jung studies.

Computer simulation is increasingly used in physics and engineering to predict the probable outcome of experiments and to aid in their interpretation. The methods of simulation are based on a range of numerical techniques for treating ordinary and partial differential equations. Since much of physics can be broken down into a relatively small set of fundamental equations, a few general methods can be widely applied. This text aims to give an introduction to those methods suitable for readers at an undergraduate level and for those studying the subject for the first time at the graduate level. The methods are illustrated with simple programs and problems. The book covers a range of material not available in other introductory texts..

From a pioneering Israeli human rights activist, a stirring memoir on life in the troubled region.

Though brought up in a right-wing Israeli household as the daughter of a former member of the Stern Gang, Daphna Golan-Agnon has become one of Israel's most outspoken activists for the rights of Palestinians. In this moving memoir, she writes of the struggle of everyday life in a state edging ever closer to apartheid.

Through anecdotes, interviews, and letters, Next Year in Jerusalem provides an insider's view of the milestones of the Israeli peace movement, drawing on Golan-Agnon's experience as co-founder of the human rights organization B'Tselem and the feminist peace group Bat Shalom. From the efforts to draw attention to the Ansar III desert prison, where Palestinian political prisoners once languished without trial, to the 1999 Israeli High Court victory abolishing torture, to the many misunderstandings that arise even among like-minded Palestinian and Israeli activists, Golan-Agnon candidly portrays the challenges of being part of a growing movement of Israelis who refuse to participate in the persecution of Palestinians. Confronting the Palestinian-Israeli dilemma in all its complexity, Next Year in Jerusalem gives readers a unique, personal view of the joint struggle for peace..
