Book Description

ISBN-10: 0231051557 | ISBN-13: 978-0231051552 | Publication Date: March 29, 1989

In the outpouring of books on education in the last decade, none has been more important than Paul Willis' "Learning to Labor," The unique contribution of this book is that it shows, with glittering clarity, how the rebellion of poor and working class kids against school authority prepares them for working class jobs. No American interested in education or in labor can afford not to read and study this book carefully. --Stanley Aranowitz

Review

It is a measure of the significance of Untold Lives that their superb scholarship not only enables the reader to appreciate the accomplishments of such remarkable women, but also offers a tantalizing glimpse into some issues of central importance in understanding the current status of scientific psychology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, a different Elizabeth Scarborough, September 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Untold Lives: The First Generation of American Women Psychologists (Kings Crown) (Paperback)

Replying to the previous (first) reviewer: The author of UNTOLD LIVES is indeed a different Elizabeth Scarborough, whose first name, Pauline, is never used professionally. She is a historian of psychology and this book is a collective biography of the earliest women psychologists. It deals with science and psychologists as scientists, but is neither fiction nor fantasy! The "other" ES, I believe, is Elizabeth ANN Scarborough, who has published both with and without the middle name. The ACE edition of her THE GODMOTHER identifies her as a resident of Port Townsend, Washington.

This review is from: Untold Lives: The First Generation of American Women Psychologists (Kings Crown) (Paperback)

This no-doubt excellent biographical book is written by a DIFFERENT Elizabeth Scarborough than the science fiction/fantasy author whose books appear on the rest of this page. Please do not confuse this serious non-fiction work with the fictional titles by the other author with the same name.
