{"product_id":"love-at-goon-park-deborah-blum-9780465026012","title":"Love at Goon Park: Harry Harlow and the Science of Affection","description":"In this meticulously researched and masterfully written book, Pulitzer Prize-winner Deborah Blum examines the history of love through the lens of its strangest unsung hero: a brilliant, fearless, alcoholic psychologist named Harry Frederick Harlow. Pursuing the idea that human affection could be understood, studied, even measured, Harlow (1905-1981) arrived at his conclusions by conducting research-sometimes beautiful, sometimes horrible-on the primates in his University of Wisconsin laboratory. Paradoxically, his darkest experiments may have the brightest legacy, for by studying \"neglect\" and its life-altering consequences, Harlow confirmed love's central role in shaping not only how we feel but also how we think. His work sparked a psychological revolution. The more children experience affection, he discovered, the more curious they become about the world: Love makes people smarter. The biography of both a man and an idea, The Measure of Love is a powerful and at times disturbing narrative that will forever alter our understanding of human relationships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Blum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 046502601X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465026012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.31h x 5.64w x 1.01d","brand":"Deborah Blum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046725185791,"sku":"9780465026012","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f970f28-eb01-4077-8fc6-2159263fa4d2.jpg?v=1684986117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/love-at-goon-park-deborah-blum-9780465026012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
