US: Wiley, 2004. Paperback. Very Good. This book is about the central figure of our contemporary, 'liquid modern' times - the man or woman with no bonds, and particularly with none of the f ixed or durable bonds that would allow the effort of self-definition and se lf-assertion to come to a rest. Having no permanent bonds, the denizen of o ur liquid modern society must tie whatever bonds they can to engage with ot hers, using their own wits, skill and dedication. But none of these bonds a re guaranteed to last. Moreover, they must be tied loosely so that they can be untied again, quickly and as effortlessly as possible, when circumstanc es change - as they surely will in our liquid modern society, over and over again.

Harmondsworth UK: Penguin Books, 1994. Good. Kramer, a practicing psychiatrist, finds that the antidepressant Prozac is a powerful drug that lifts the veil of depression from most patients withou t significant side effects. While he unquestionably supports the use of med ication to alleviate illness, he questions using drugs to make a person fee l "better than well." It is the remarkable ability of Prozac to create pers onality changes that he finds disturbing. Is it ethical to prescribe a drug that increases a person's self-confidence, resilience, and energy level wi thout any ill effect, when there is no underlying manifestation of illness? What is the essence of personhood and what are the philosophical implicati ons of using drugs to alter personality? Both Kramer's unequivocal endorsem ent of Prozac for the treatment of depression and the questions he raises a bout the use of drugs for mood alteration are controversial.
