?Doob's expert analysis draws heavily upon other peace works....He is not pleading any cause; he is peace-oriented but his conclusions (not overly optimistic) are solidly in touch with political reality. A stimulating psychologically flavored work.?-Library Journal

Doob's central thesis is that some beliefs function mainly to help the believer cope with life's uncertainties. ChoiceThis book examines the ways in which human beings seek to cope with uncertainty by means of doctrines that postulate degrees of inevitability.

This book provides an analysis of the human phenomenon of hesitation, the time elapsing between the stimulation of a person and that person's response.

Drawing upon the findings of psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, and anthropologists, this volume challenges and helps its readers to improve their existence as individuals and as members of groups and society.

This book, the result of the author's experience in psychology and forestry studies, studies the relation between these two seemingly different disciplines.
