The Personal Equation is the first biography of Steadman Vincent Sanford, a distinguished educator who was instrumental in shaping higher education in Georgia and in the South during the first half of the twentieth century. The story begins in the late nineteenth century by describing Sanford's family and childhood, his education, and his early teaching and administrative career in the public schools. In 1903 Sanford joined the faculty of the University of Georgia, where he subsequently founded the Henry W. Grady School of Journalism and served as its dean. Sanford was a major contributor to the athletic program at the University and is possibly best remembered for the athletic stadium that bears his name. He rose through the university's administrative ranks, serving as president of the University of Georgia from 1932 to 1935 and then as chancellor of the University System of Georgia, a position he held until his death in 1945. While focusing on Sanford's accomplishments as a teacher, leader, and administrator, Charles Stephen Gurr also draws the portrait of a man for whom the ties of family, friendship, and community were immensely important and whose personal and professional legacy lives on in the lives he influenced and the institutions he led.

Occultist, Scientist, Prophet, Charlatan - C. G. Jung has been called all these things and after decades of myth making, is one of the most misunderstood figures in Western intellectual history. This book is the first comprehensive study of the origins of his psychology, as well as providing a new account of the rise of modern psychology and psychotherapy. Based on a wealth of hitherto unknown archival materials it reconstructs the reception of Jung's work in the human sciences, and its impact on the social and intellectual history of the twentieth century. The book creates a basis for all future discussion of Jung, and opens new vistas on psychology today.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The epic story of the greatest quest in all of science—the holy grail of physics that would explain the creation of the universe—from renowned theoretical physicist and author of The Future of the Mind and The Future of Humanity. When Newton discovered the law of gravity, he unified the rules governing the heavens and the Earth. Since then, physicists have been placing new forces into ever-grander theories. But perhaps the ultimate challenge is achieving a monumental synthesis of the two remaining theories—relativity and the quantum theory. This would be the crowning achievement of science, a profound merging of all the forces of nature into one beautiful, magnificent equation to unlock the deepest mysteries in science: What happened before the Big Bang? What lies on the other side of a black hole? Are there other universes and dimensions? Is time travel possible? Why are we here? Kaku also explains the intense controversy swirling around this theory, with Nobel laureates taking opposite sides on this vital question. It is a captivating, gripping story; what’s at stake is nothing less than our conception of the universe. Written with Kaku’s trademark enthusiasm and clarity, this epic and engaging journey is the story of The God Equation.
