Description:
New York: Plenum Press, 1985. Red Boards. Very Good/Very Good. 8 7/16" Tall. In this book the author continues - supplements is a better descriptive - his examination of scientific career paths that began with "Winning the Games Scientists Play." Here the subject is less how to get to the top (although the first section does show how some scientists did it) than (the subject of the second section, "The Scientific Elite") how to behave and prosper once you're arrived there. The third section ("Descent from Career Peaks") provides cautionary examples of what hubris, burn-out, or malfeasance can do to wreck otherwise admirable careers. In all three sections case histories are attached to commentary, and his point that excellence in science must be accompanied by excellence in character is well illustrated. Like its predecessor it is a book that should be given to every young science graduate, along with his diploma and sign up bonus. 259 pages with Prologue,… Read More

Description:
Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1952. Beige Boards. Very Good/No Jacket. 9 5/16" Tall. These Hixon lectures were given by Caltech's Department of Biology in Pasadena March to May 1950. "The Committee was moved to undertake these lectures by the very fact that there was so much question in the minds of many regarding the scientific status of psychoanalysis. If through this series the controversy over the status of psychoanalysis as a science can be partially clarified, perhaps some of the "sound and fury" surrounding psychoanalysis may be quieted and more dispassionate objective attitudes adopted." [Editor's Preface] The three major topics were Experimental Approaches to Psychoanalysis (Hilgard); Problems and Techniques of Psychoanalytic Validation and Progress (Kubie); and The Position of Psychoanalysis in Relation to the Biological and Social Sciences (the editor). 174 pages, with figures, References, and Index; plus x [10] pages prefatory matter.

Description:
New York: Plenum Press, 1984. Third Printing . Black Boards. Very Good/Very Good. 8 7/16" Tall. Matter-of-fact advice about getting ahead in science, written for science practitioners but pretty widely applicable to any careerist. Game playing, the author writes, "in science or in any occupation, can be defined as the ability and willingness not only to govern your actions by a set of rules, but to have those rules work in your favor." There are three parts to the book. The first considers the scientist as a writer, performer, face in the crowd (at scientific meetings), concertmaster, producer/director, and negotiator. The second deals with the scientist in the bureaucratic scheme: moving up, on and out, in control (power), and in doubt (ethics). And the third discusses special interest areas like sex in the lab, coping with bureaucrats, dealing with the outside and with the industry. It's a bravura performance, delivered dead-pan, and should be issued with the sheepskin to every… Read More
