Here is the url for ordering the new edition of the Luria
autobiography, The Making of Mind, from Erlbaum:
https://www.erlbaum.com/shop/tek9.asp?pg=products&specific=0-8058-5499-1
All the text from the first edition of The Making of Mind (published
by Harvard) is included in the new edition, including the writing
Mike did, but there is some new material in this Erlbaum edition that
is worth the $20 price.
There are three new articles by Mike Cole and Karl Levitin: a preface
entitled "Putting A Scientific Autobiography Into Its Social and
Personal Contexts" and two sections at the end entitled "Luria In
Social Context" and "Luria in Personal Context: Reconciling Contradictions."
But wait, there's more! Included in the book is a DVD with six
sections discussing Luria's life:
1. Introduction by Mike Cole (La Jolla, 2004)
2. Karl Levitin interviews J.P Das (Amsterdam, 2002)
3. Karl Levitin interviews Peter Tulviste (Amsterdam, 2002)
4. Michael Cole interviews Jerome Bruner and Oliver Sachs (New York, 2002)
5. Karl Levitin interviews Vladmir Zinchenko (Moscow, 2002)
6. Karl Levitin interviews Vladmir I. Lubovsky (Moscow, 2002)
This DVD is sure to become a hard-to-find item someday (think of how
hard it is to find an original copy of Jerome Bruner's supplement to
Vygotsky's 1962 English language edition of Thought and
Language). Besides its importance as supplemental material on Luria,
this DVD also represents what I think will prove to be a new standard
for this kind of research and scholarship. In my opinion, Mike and
Karl and the people they interviewed have raised the bar for
scientific autobiography by including a DVD like this in Luria's
wonderful book.
BTW, Mike meant the book costs 20 dollars ($19.95 plus shipping), not
20% (percent). We should be so lucky!
NEW: Amazon.com is now offering the book for $19.95 plus shipping (it
was $47.00 or something a few weeks ago).
Best,
- Steve
