Methuen, 1969 1969 hardcover + dustjacket. Very good condition. Attractive grey, black & gilt cloth covered boards. Book clean, crisp & bright. Dustjacket mildly grubby & slightly chipped at edges | Susan Isaacs embarked upon a series of lectures in infant school education at Darlington Training College, in logic at the University of Manchester, and in psychology at the University of London. In 1914, she married William Broadhurst Brierley, a botany lecturer. A year later they moved to London where she became tutor to the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA) and, from 1916, lectured in psychology at the University of London. In 1922 she divorced Brierly and married Nathan Isaacs (1895-1966), a metallurgist who collaborated with Susan in her later work. Susan also trained and practiced as a psychoanalyst after analysis by the psychoanalyst John Carl Flugel (1884–1955). She became an associate member of the newly formed British Psychoanalytical Society in 1921, becoming a full member in 1923. She began her own practice that same year.[3] She later underwent brief analysis with Otto Rank and in 1927 she submitted herself to further analysis with Joan Riviere to get personal experience and understanding of Melanie Klein's new ideas on infancy. Isaacs also helped popularise the works and Klein as the theories of Jean Piaget and Sigmund Freud. She was initially enthusiastic for Jean Piaget's theories on the intellectual development of young children, though she later criticised his schemas for stages of cognitive development, which were not based on the observation of the child in their natural environment, unlike her own observations at Malting House School. Between 1924 and 1927 she was Head of Malting House School, Cambridge, an experimental school founded by Geoffrey Pyke, which fostered the individual development of children. Children were given greater freedom and were supported rather than punished. The teachers were seen as observers of the children who were seen as research workers. Her work had a great influence on early education and made play a central part of a child’s education. Between 1929 and 1940 she was an 'agony aunt' under the pseudonym of 'Ursula Wise', replying to readers' problems in several child care journals, notably The Nursery World and Home and School..

Serpent's Tail, 2005 SHORTLISTED FOR THE INDEPENDENT FOREIGN FICTION PRIZE In the Polish city of Gdansk, our narrator Pawel tells of the driving lessons he took in the early 1990s, shortly after the end of communism. As he struggled with the tiny Fiat's gearbox, causing chaos while stalled at a crossroads, Pawel entertained his instructor - the lovely Miss Ciwle, with stories of his grandparents, and parents, lives. Through these tender stories we hear of one family's obsession with classic cars, in particular Mercedes-Benz, the outings, the races, the crashes and the inevitable repairs. Based on fact and illustrated with personal photographs, these tales contrast the golden era of Poland's pre-war independence with the dismal communist years, and with the uncertain new chapter in the country's history that had only just begun when Pawel was learning to drive. With elegant brilliance, Huelle creates a touching portrait of three generations amid life-changing historical events. | Even though ex-library, this book remains in unread condition, usual labels and inkstamps + protective, removable PVC jacket. | Independent seller based in Suffolk, UK.

Time Warner Paperbacks, 1994 The daughter of the German captain of a luxury cruise liner and an American actress, Marita Lorenz became Fidel Castro's mistress in 1959 when she was 18. She bore Castro's son and was recruited by the CIA to assassinate the Cuban dictator, a task from which she drew back at the very last moment. By then firmly enmeshed in the American intelligence network, she worked for the CIA, often reluctantly, for the next 25 years; among her bosses were E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis. With Sturgis in Dallas on the evening before Jack Kennedy was murdered, she met Jack Ruby and a man she later realized was Lee Harvey Oswald. Now aged 53, Marita tells her story, portraying with passion and candour her relationship with the Venezuelan dictator, Marcos Peres Jiminez, her testimony at the Watergate hearings and her return to Cuba, Castro and her son. | Thickish paperback with photos, very good condition, flaws: very slight creasing and scuffing, pages beginning to yellow | .

Century, 1993. This is a collection of interviews with prostitutes, from the young girls forced by circumstance onto the streets of King's Cross to the high-class call-girls of Park Lane, talented and successful in their own way and with a clutch of expensive clients. Rachel Silver also talks to the strippers, "sex therapists" and porn stars. All explain in their own words exactly what they do, for how much and why they do it. The author also explores what their families, boyfriends and husbands think about it, and explores the women's own complex, sometimes mocking, occasionally genuinely caring attitudes to the men who pay them. | Very good condition softcover.
