First published in 1981, this title takes a 'sociobiological'
approach to the exploration of sexual habits, looking at the
fundamental biological nature of humans. The book covers the
spectrum of human sexuality, considering love and marriage, variant
sexuality and social influences. This is a valuable reissue for any
student of sexual psychology or cultural and evolutionary
anthropology with an interest in the fundamental influences on
human sexuality.
First published in 1987, this book presents contributions from
international authorities reviewing major themes in variant
sexuality. Genetic and evolutionary arguments are presented for the
preponderance of paraphilia in males, whilst Freudian and
psychoanalytic theories are shown to have limited scientific basis.
These and other topics are reviewed in an interesting book, which
will be of particular value to students of the psychology of
sexuality, evolutionary biology and psychiatry, as well as those
with a more general interest in the social, behavioural and
biological aspects of sexuality.

First published in 1973, The Psychology of Conservatism explores
attitudes, their measurement, their structure and dynamics, and the
personality traits apparently underlying attitude patterns. It
examines the link between differing attitudes and discusses
characteristic patterns and syndromes. The book focuses on the
origins and dynamics of a major factor called "liberalism -
conservatism" which is found to account for much of the variance in
attitudes amongst different people. Contributors review previous
studies relating to personality and attitude before engaging in new
studies and proposing their own theories to explain the
conservative attitude. The book introduces provocative theoretical
ideas and provides a valuable examination of an important
psychological and social attitude syndrome. This book will be of
interest to researchers in personality and social psychology,
sociology and political science and education.

There are 207 pages of enlightenment and a journey through the
internal arts of Pai Yung Tai Chi Chuan, Quan Nien Chi Kung and
more. Hundreds of photos will guide the reader through this
peaceful voyage. There is detailed instruction and photos
demonstrating the 'old style' Yang Short Form, Penetrate the Wind
form and the rarely taught Quan Nien Buddhist Chi Kung Form series
1 through 6. This is certainly a very rare opportunity for any
person to elevate their knowledge of the internal arts.
Grandmaster Glenn C. Wilson gives an in-depth look into the history
and techniques of Bok Leen Pai Kenpo. Follow the development of
this powerful, fascinating system as Grandmaster Wilson takes you
from its birth in China, through Asia to Hawaii, and finally to the
legendary Great Grandmaster Daniel K. Pai as he brings Bok Leen Pai
Kenpo and his Pai Lum Tao family of martial arts to the mainland of
the United States. With 16 chapters covering fist sets, forms and
other techniques as well as 325 photos, some very rare, this book
is a must-have for any serious student of the martial arts.
Glenn Wilson believed from the time he was young that he was
destined to be a pro athlete. His journey from lightly recruited
high school student athlete to first round draft pick of the
Detroit Tigers in 1980 was the script that many only dream about
becoming reality. Glenn achieved his goal, playing ten seasons in
Major League Baseball, including making the National League
All-Star team in 1985. Injuries and disappointment shortened
Glenn's career, and when investments soured causing business
ventures to fail, he found himself living in pain and misery. In
that pain, he went in search of fulfillment and on that journey
Glenn came to know what it meant to truly have a relationship with
God. Headed Home takes you on this journey from childhood to
athlete to a broken man finding the hope of knowing Jesus Christ.
When Glenn experienced the grace of Christ, his life would never be
the same. This book brings us the hope that God has a plan for all
of us and that he longs to change our lives. "Headed Home is a
tumultuous ride through the world of Major League Baseball. Glenn
Wilson was an All Star, but he didn't really find his personal home
plate until long after his last at bat. Glenn was always a funny,
life-of-the-party type guy, but this book is more likely to produce
the sweet sorrow of a tear." Larry Dierker Former player and
manager Houston Astros "Glenn Wilson has bared his soul for all to
read in Headed Home. His life as a baseball player has been well
known, especially in the Houston area. But he has been willing to
open up about his life off the field as well, giving us perspective
on how many changes a person can undergo with God's guidance. From
his relationships with his older brother, Johnie Jr., to his
experiences with his coaches and managers, Glenn's honesty shines
through. He leaves a powerful message for all to take from this
book." Bill Brown Announcer of Houston Astros Member of the Texas
Sports Hall of Fame

strategies, and underpinned by principles from psychological and
social experiments, you'll learn how to use and interpret
non-verbal messages to put your best face, and body, forwards.
