Aunt Jemima's familiar beaming, warm smile and laughing eyes have
been associated with breakfast pancakes for generations of
Americans. "Invented" in 1888 to help market a new type of pancake
flour, Aunt Jemima has been represented by a good number of real
women and a tremendous number of collectible products. This book
displays hundred of the item available from Aunt Jemima's long
history, and provides fascinating or funny glimpses into over a
century of our nation's cultural history. Collectors interested in
kitchen memorabilia and/or African-American history will find this
book wonderfully eye-opening! Promotional items and advertisements
are presented, including doll families, recipe books, kitchen
utensils, menus, coloring books, and cooking set for children. The
complete story of Aunt Jemima's Pancake Mix, the myth of Aunt
Jemima herself, and the stories of the real women who portrayed her
are all told in this delightful book. A price guide is included.
This book is the first to directly address the question of how to
bridge what has been termed the "great divide" between the
approaches of systems developers and those of social scientists to
computer supported cooperative work--a question that has been
vigorously debated in the systems development literature.
Traditionally, developers have been trained in formal methods and
oriented to engineering and formal theoretical problems; many
social scientists in the CSCW field come from humanistic traditions
in which results are reported in a narrative mode. In spite of
their differences in style, the two groups have been cooperating
more and more in the last decade, as the "people problems"
associated with computing become increasingly evident to everyone.
The authors have been encouraged to examine, rigorously and in
depth, the theoretical basis of CSCW. With contributions from field
leaders in the United Kingdom, France, Scandinavia, Mexico, and the
United States, this volume offers an exciting overview of the
cutting edge of research and theory. It constitutes a solid
foundation for the rapidly coalescing field of social informatics.
Divided into three parts, this volume covers social theory, design
theory, and the sociotechnical system with respect to CSCW. The
first set of chapters looks at ways of rethinking basic social
categories with the development of distributed collaborative
computing technology--concepts of the group, technology,
information, user, and text. The next section concentrates more on
the lessons that can be learned at the design stage given that one
wants to build a CSCW system incorporating these insights--what
kind of work does one need to do and how is understanding of design
affected? The final part looks at the integration of social and
technical in the operation of working sociotechnical systems.
Collectively the contributors make the argument that the social and
technical are irremediably linked in practice and so the "great
divide" not only should be a thing of the past, it should never
have existed in the first place.

2011 Reprint of 1950 Translation by William Turner. Full facsimile
of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition
Software. Recommended, both as a fascinating and little-known
document in the history of psychology and as a provocative reading
of the history of psychology. (Religious Studies Review). Will
interest many students of the history of psychoanalysis... Rank's
conclusions contribute to present-day controversies about the
status of psychoanalysis as a science. (Psychiatric Times ) The
first complete English translation of a work that Rank published in
1930. It draws on anthropology, sociology, mythology, religion,
philosophy, history, and literature to chart the development of the
human psyche... The book's antimaterialistic passion makes it a
compelling counterpoint to the stern biology of our own age, and
the bounds it sets to what psychoanalysis can claim are justly
drawn. (Wilson Quarterly ) Unquestionably Rank's most important
work... This new translation is an effort to create a Rank for our
millennium... and it] reads elegantly and comfortably in English...
The argument is complex and intricate, consisting of a long
historical/ethnographic sweep that takes us from a 'primitive'
state, via animism through the Christian or sexual era to the
scientific era and modern development of psychology... Along the
way we find traces of many of Rank's other brilliant psychological
surveys -- the double, Don Juan, heroes' birth myths, the theme of
incest -- woven into this massive canvas and viewed on the largest
scale... Throughout this book, the grand tapestry is set with some
remarkable gems of observation. (Naomi Segal Psychoanalysis and
History ) This is the first complete translation of Otto Rank's
fascinating text on the nature and history of the concept of the
Soul and Will in the psychological history of humankind... a tour
de force in vigour, scope and application to many contemporary
issues such as sexual behaviors, the nature of dreaming, incest
prohibitions and narcissism, to name but a few. (L.R. Edgar Journal
of the Royal Anthropological Society ) In his last years, Otto Rank
turned his lifetime of thought and learning toward two of the most
difficult topics in human history: religion and the soul. The
result was this now-classic work, available in this new, very
accessible English translation. Unlike many other intellectuals of
the twentieth century, Rank maintains a place for the soul rather
than dismissing it as a fantasy. The soul and the beliefs about it,
he argues, set forth the foundation for psychology, with its
complex analyses of consciousness, self-consciousness, and
personality. Rank's commentary is not limited to beliefs about
individual souls but includes ideas about group souls, sometimes
encompassing nations or generations. Rank suggests that it is in
expression of group beliefs that the idea of the soul attains its
greatest power. What is the soul? Otto Rank treats it as a
universal and essential belief for individuals and their societies,
constant in function but evolving in form through millennia. To
borrow a post-Rankian metaphor, the soul was created in the big
bang of irresistible psychological force colliding with immutable
biological fact-our will to live forever against death. The
collision creates a spark in our individual and social
consciousness which through history has become both consolation and
inspiration: the immortal soul. All ideologies reflect this
phenomenon and modify its expression to suit the era. Otto Rank
wrote before the atom bomb or television, both of which alter our
perception of death without changing the fact. Rank's introduction
of the soul as an essential part of contemporary psychology helps
explain a number of perplexing, irrational phenomena in
contemporary life.
