Publisher Synopsis
Richard Stivers' work has always proven groundbreaking, disrupting our comfortable assumptions about modern life and world, and prompting us to question our lifestyles and our value systems. In his latest work, Shades of Loneliness, Stivers presents the reader with another compelling argument that challenges the popular myths of history as progress and technological advancement as morally provocative. * Metapsychology Online * A powerful, compelling book that reaches out and touches every reader who has ever felt the master emotions of our technological era: loneliness, depression, alienation, mental illness. Stivers issues a passionate call for a return to a critical moral consciousness that will allow all of us to combat the crippling, destructive features of this new global age. -- Norman K. Denzin, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Read more...
