Fascinating trip through Freud, fractals, and 21st century culture

This book makes an excellent case for the pertinence of Freud to the new models of culture and knowledge in the new millennium. The scientific descriptions are clear and lively, appropriate for non-scientists, and the first part will be of help to anyone in cultural studies, women's studies, or "theory' in the university. The writing is clear and lively.
