John Dewey was an American psychologist, philosopher, educator, social critic, and political activist. John Dewey: Science for a Changing World addresses Dewey's contemporary relevance; his life and intellectual trajectory; his basic philosophical ideas, with an emphasis on his philosophy of nature; and his educational theory, which has often been misunderstood. In addition, Dewey's pragmatism and pragmatist ethics are discussed, as are some of the criticisms that can be directed at them. Throughout the book, Dewey's ideas are related to the general history of ideas, but there is also a constant focus on how Dewey may assist us in solving some of the problems that face us in a so-called postmodern era. This book is the first to offer an interpretation of John Dewey's works with particular emphasis on his contribution to psychology. John Dewey distinguished himself by combining a culturalist approach to human life with a naturalistic one. He was an avowed naturalist and follower of Darwin, and Brinkmann shows how his non-reductionist, naturalist psychology can serve as a much-needed correction to contemporary forms of "evolutionary psychology." Dewey's psychology, however, is not an isolated element in his thinking as a whole, so the author also provides an introduction to the philosophical, ethical, and educational ideas that go hand-in-hand with his psychology. In the past couple of decades, there has been a renaissance of pragmatist ideas in philosophy, political theory, and education. Scholars are returning to the writings of William James, Charles Peirce, George Herbert Mead, and John Dewey. This book continues the fine tradition of Transaction's History and Theory of Psychology series.

This reprint of the Monier Williams Sanskrit dictionary was so poorly bound, there are several sections of the book with creases actually sewn into the binding that make part of the page unreadable. There are also many pages that were apparently folded over before cutting, so that when you turn to those pages and unfold them, you have to actually cut the pages apart from each other and then cut the pages down to the proper size before you can page through the book normally. I realized that I was not getting the older (higher quality) academic printing of the book, as the last edition of that was run in the 1950's, but I didn't expect it to be partially unreadable. A classmate who also purchased one of these recent reprints got a copy that was missing several chunks of pages and had to borrow my (partially unreadable) copy during an exam. I guess the moral of the story is: either get an older American edition or order your copy from the UK, where Oxford Press is still printing it, even though you may pay 10x as much for it. Or try to talk your professors into allowing online dictionaries, haha.
As for service, processing and shipping were prompt. No complaints with the seller, just the quality of the product. I have ordered from them before and have always received prompt and excellent service.
