Product Description: "Never hug and kiss them, never let them sit on your lap. ... The end result is a happy child. Free as air, because he has mastered the stupidly simple demands society makes upon him." Psychologists know best, of course, and in the 1950s they warned parents about the dangers of too much love. Besides, what was 'love' anyway? Just a convenient name for children seeking food and adults seeking sex. It took an outsider scientist to challenge this. When Harry Harlow began his experiments on mother love he was more than just outside the mainstream, though. He was a deeply unhappy man who knew in his gut the truth about what love -- and its absence -- meant, and set about to prove it. His experiments and results shocked the world.
wire mothers: harry harlow and the science of love I was very disappointed in the book. It is absolutely disrespectful of Harry Harlow and his work. Don't spend your money on this book. If you're interested in finding out about the research of Harry Harlow - this book will not help you. NO STARS! Dr. Stephen Lee Morrison
Great Graphic-nonfiction! The topic of this graphic nonfiction sounded interesting from a pre-pub review I read. At a library conference I visited the publisher's booth and got a copy signed by the author. While stuck in the airport, I started reading this...and couldn't stop. I read it twice through on the trip home. When I got home, I made my father (who's more of a scientist than I am) read this too.
I don't have a degree in "real" science (writing and library science,) but I have always been interested. I do read a lot of graphic novels. This is graphic non-fiction as it should be done. In fact everything from GT Labs is worth your time and your dollars. All of GT Labs publications might not be great, but this is. The art is well done. The story is compelling. The information is well integrated into the story. Excellent!
Harry Harlow i was really disappointed in this book. The cartoon format is interesting, but confusing about people and events involved. i was a graduate student in psychology at the time Harlow's work was becoming famous, and this account doesn't gibe with my impressions at the time.
