Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson has long been interested in the relationships between humans and animals, and he's always been aware that there was something very special in our bond with dogs. No other animals love us in quite the same way as dogs love us. And it is mutual. Is it possible that we developed our capacity for love, sympathy, empathy, and compassion because of our long association with dogs? Over the past 40,000 years a collective domestication has occurred that brings us to where we are today--humans have formed intense bonds with dogs, and the adoration is almost always reciprocal--a love affair unmatched in the animal world.--From publisher description.

There is absolutely nothing in the American experience comparable to basic training or boot camp. If you haven't been through it, you can't understand it. But if you've been through it, you never forget it. No matter where they live, all American fighting men and women have one thing in common: They have survived basic military training. They've crawled through the swamps on Parris Island, stood in the frigid cold guarding a Dumpster at Great Lakes, struggled to complete fifteen bars on the horizontal ladder to get to the chow hall at Ft. Jackson, fought desperately to stay awake after long days without sleep at Lackland. They were shaved and screamed at, they barely ate, they marched a hundred miles, and they accomplished things they never would have dreamed were possible. They made the epic journey from civilian to soldier in eight weeks... and gained a lifetime of memories in the process. If you've done it, you will recognize the Drill Instructors, the marching chants, the movie segments, the proper way to make a hospital corner, the jokes, the camaraderie and the shared feeling of triumph. And those who haven't done it—yet—will understand and appreciate this life-changing experience. Basic is the story of that training. Col. Jack Jacobs and David Fisher tell the funny, sad, dramatic, poignant, and sometimes crazy history of how America has trained its military, told through the indelible memories of those who remember the experiences as if they happened yesterday.

Delve deep into the intricacies of human interrelations with J. L. Moreno's groundbreaking work. 'Who Shall Survive?' challenges conventional wisdom by introducing a pioneering approach to understanding the complex web of human interactions. Grounded in the early-to-mid 20th-century zeitgeist, Moreno navigates the socio-political contexts that shape human behavior, offering readers a fresh perspective on communal dynamics. Utilizing innovative methodologies, Moreno unveils the concept of sociometry, a quantitative method to analyze social relationships, setting the foundation for modern group dynamics and therapy. This work emphasizes the importance of spontaneity and creativity in fostering positive human relationships and aims to shed light on how societies can be reshaped to promote unity and holistic well-being. More than just a theoretical treatise, the book has implications across various disciplines, particularly in psychology, sociology, and therapeutic studies. Moreno's ideas paved the way for the development of psychodrama, an expressive therapy form, integrating theater and psychotherapy to offer transformative experiences. In essence, 'Who Shall Survive?' is not just a reflection on human interrelations but a clarion call for understanding, intervention, and transformation in a world craving genuine connection.
