Principles Of Topological Psychology
Lewin is marvelous and this book is so loaded with information and detail on how Gestalten might be used,viewed and tracked in the perceptual process, that it is an invaluable potential base for serious play in the minds of it's readers. The book is as powerful today as it ever was, and it was great from the day it was published. For people who like to think about thinking, visualizing what happens, and how things work, It would be difficult to find a better or more comprehensive book on "human mapping."
The book is straightforward,well written, and a grand explication of how one might capture multiple aspects of human processing, scientifically or otherwise, in a visual format or a cognative map.
If one wanted to find basic information on ideas like fields, boundaries,paths,interactions and a host of other ideas, he or she might be hard pressed to get a more fundamentally solid set of definitions and constructs with which to work. This is dynamite stuff. People who like psychological history will love to speculate on the importance of this book. People who like to reinvent the wheel will enjoy it one more time by embracing this seminal gem from 1936. I just love it.

This review is from: Principles of Topological Psychology. (Textbook Binding)

The book is amazing. Because, the book has a frendly introduction to topological psychology. Contents of the book include 2 main chapters. Firstly psychological introduction to mathmematical terms and topology, secondly, topological psychology. If you interest topology then you would find interesting book. If you interest psychology then you don't affair this subject. Because, each terms related to topology /or mathematics is defined in this book.
