The Founder of the Neo-Friesian School
As a high school student, Leonard Nelson rediscovered the forgotten German philosopher Jakob Fries, the political activist and rival of G.W.F. Hegel in the years after Napoleon.Nelson thought that Fries had done what no other philosopher had done:retained and extended the spirit and system of the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, the greatest modern philosopher.Tragically, Nelson died young in 1927.But he had written a great deal; and his students, often from exile to escape the Nazis, preserved his memory and published his unfinished books."Socratic Method and Critical Philosophy" was published by Yale in 1949, containing Nelson's most popular and accessible essays and speeches. ...

Adam D Koenigsberg MD FACS
This is an excellent text. I know Dr Nelson personally, and he and Dr Harley do an amazing job at describing important concepts in Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. This is certainly an important part of the library of any pediatric ophthalmologist.

Interesting, but Not Astounding "Historical" Tidbits
"California Dreaming" is an interesting, but definitely not astounding, collection of "historical" tidbits for the reader who is longing for information, no matter how trivial, about the Golden State.The stories are "written sound bites" (each about two pages long) and occasionally cause the reader to think, "I didn't know that," but they definitely do not constitute serious history. Topics covered range from the introduction of the yo yo, and prunes to America, to a recounting of the loss of the dirigible, "Macon," to a brief peek into the Huston family of Hollywood noteriety.The 50 or so stories (100 pages) are interestingly presented and coherently written, but they are not so remarkable as to justify the price of the book.The author is very good at what he does--presenting stories of the past in very palatable portions--but the reader looking for serious insights into the history of California will find these h'ors d'oeuvres unsatisfying.I'm sure the author did not intend to mislead the potential reader as to the quality of the historical record contained in this book, but when this reviewer notes the author goes by the name, Dr. History, he expects a bit more than he got ...
