Industry Reviews In this collection of articles reprinted from a variety of journals, prominent cultural critic Arnheim covers a wide range of topics in pursuit of connections between psychology and art. Included are essays on dance, architecture, children's and handicapped persons' art, playwriting, visual thinking, symbolism, and more. As is typical of Arnheim's writing, the essays allude to numerous cultural icons and his own and others' earlier writings, requiring the reader to have prior knowledge. Though each of these pieces outlines an interesting thesis, the brief space allotted (mostly under five pages) allows for little development. Recommended for research libraries and special collections. Kathryn Wekselman, Univ. of Cincinnati Lib., Ohio Ives
