Facets of an Academic's Life: A Memoir

Michael Wertheimer

4.9/5 (22208 ratings)

Description:This memoir by Michael Wertheimer, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is a somewhat unusual autobiography: the main text is fairly short, with a number of appendices that return in detail to topics too long and detailed to include in the chronological overview. The main text recounts Wertheimer’s personal and professional life in Germany and in the USA, including his education at Swarthmore College, The Johns Hopkins University, and Harvard University; his teaching at Wesleyan University; and his long career in experimental, sociocultural, and cognitive psychology and the history of psychology at the University of Colorado. The substantial appendices provide detail on such facets as his publishing of a childhood newspaper, "artistic fumblings," scholarly efforts, travel, involvement in the APA and Psi Chi and other associations, and life in a retirement community. Both the main text and the appendices are profusely illustrated, often in color (though only in the e-book edition). The division into main text and appendices enhances access to material of interest to various audiences, such as historians both of psychology and of science in general; students of academic life in twentieth-century America, both in higher education and in professional associations; and people interested in multilingualism, immigration, work-life balance, or mountaineering, as well as those who enjoy general biographies that portray the times as well as the person.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
