Book De*ion The Beginner Books -- "Their cartoon format and irreverent witmake difficult ideas accessible and entertaining." -- Newsday Everything you need to know about neurosis, libido, ego, and id-- but somehow it slipped your mind. Freud for Beginners is a perfect introduction to the life andthought of the man whose discovery of psychoanalysis revolutionizedour attitudes towards mental illness, religion, sex, and culture.This documentary cartoon book plunges us into the world oflate-nineteenth-century Vienna in which Freud grew up. We explorehis early background in science, his work as a therapist, hisencounter with cocaine, and his theories on the unconscious,dreams, the Oedipus Complex, and sexuality. We meet his family, his friend and enemies, and his patients --The Rat Man, Anna O., Little Hans -- and we get an insider's viewas the psychoanalytic movement is launched. The zany art andprobing text do an extraordinary job of simplifying Freud withouttrivializing him.

Grade 7 Up–Scott Hudson begins his freshman year of high school as a source of income to Wesley, the school shakedown artist. The girl he's known since kindergarten has blossomed into a goddess, but doesn't seem to know he's alive. He gets roped into writing the sports column for the school newspaper, even though he's not an athlete. On top of everything else, his mom is pregnant. As Scott maneuvers through a number of serious situations—bullying, a suicidal classmate, school dances—he still manages to be upbeat and true to himself. Overloaded with extracurricular activities and honors homework, he begins a journal filled with lists and tips for his expected sibling on how to survive freshman year. As the school year and his mom's pregnancy progress, Scott begins to find his niche at school in David Lubar's laugh-out-loud novel (Dutton, 2005). The main narration is more than capably done by Ryan MacConnell as Scott. The rest of the characters are voiced by a variety of actors, adding depth to Scott's ex
