"The Body Politic" is the first comprehensive history of the significance and struggles over science in America.

In The Brain in Context, bioethicist Jonathan D. Moreno and neuroscientist Jay Schulkin provide an accessible account of the evolution of neuroscience and the neuroscience of evolution. They describe today's transformative devices, theories, and methods, and they show how theorizing about the brain and experimenting with it often go hand in hand.

Impromptu Man captures the remarkable impact of a singular genius, J.L. Moreno, whose creationsthe best-known being psychodramahave shaped our culture in myriad ways, many unrecognized. The record will be set straight for all time by this cant-put-down biography, a tribute by Jonathan D. Moreno to his fathers masterly legacy. DANIEL GOLEMAN, author of Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQJ.L. Moreno (1889-1974), the father of psychodrama, was an early critic of Sigmund Freud, wrote landmark works of Viennese expressionism, founded an experimental theater where he discovered Peter Lorre, influenced Martin Buber, and became one of the most important psychiatrists and social scientists of his time.A mystic, theater impresario and inventor in his youth, Moreno immigrated to America in 1926, where he trained famous actors, introduced group therapy, and was a forerunner of humanistic psychology. As a social reformer, he reorganized schools and prisons, and designed New Deal planned communities for workers and farmers. Morenos methods have been adopted by improvisational theater groups, military organizations, educators, business leaders, and trial lawyers. His studies of social networks laid the groundwork for social media like Twitter and Facebook.Featuring interviews with Clay Shirky, Gloria Steinem, and Werner Erhard, among others, original documentary research, and the authors own perspective growing up as the son of an innovative genius, Impromptu Man is both the study of a great and largely unsung figure of the last century and an epic history, taking readers from the creative chaos of early twentieth-century Vienna to the wired world of Silicon Valley.Jonathan D. Moreno, called the most interesting bioethicist of our time by the American Journal of Bioethics, is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress.
