Publisher's Synopsis
"When James returned from Europe, he was fif-ty-two years old. If he had been another man, he might have settled down to the intensive cultiva-tion of the field in which he had already achieved renown and influence. He would then have spent the rest of his life in working out special problems in psychology, in deducing a few theories, in making particular applications of his conclusions, in administering a growing laboratory, in sur-rounding himself with assistants and disciples-in weeding and gathering where he had tilled. But the fact was that the publication of his two books on psychology operated for him as a wel-come release from the subject."
