What Is This Thing Called LOVE? Personal Reflections and Reactions
~by Edward "Ted" Dunn $8.95

In What Is This Thing Called Love?:  Personal Reflections and Reactions, Edward "Ted Dunn recollects his own personal family experiences, from his growing up years in Hamilton, New York, inspired by a loving mother, on to his relationships with both siblings and his wife and daughter.  Highlighted are his associates in football-playing days at Colgate and coaching thirty years at Springfield College, along with teaching fifty years.  The second part of his work includes an analysis of how others, such as Rollo May, Erich Fromm, and Erik Erikson, have defined love and the various types of love:  Brotherly (philia), spiritual (agape), and charitable (caritas).  A work that demonstrates the profound effects of love on our physical and mental well-being.


Living with Depressive Illness and Finding Joy Again; A Holistic
Approach
~by Edward "Ted" Dunn $10.95

In any given one-year period, 9.5 percent of the population, or about 18.8 million American adults, suffer from a depressive illness.  This invaluable book, presented in a straightforward, concise format, will serve as a helpful guide for those seeking information about the causes and treatments for depression.

Edward "Ted" Dunn first explores the symptoms of depression and the most common types of depressive illness.  With great sensitivity and care, he writes of his own experiences with depression, and how family as well as mental health professionals helped him.  At the heart of this volume are the author's twenty-five suggestions for living with depression and finding joy.

About his work, Mr. Dunn says, "I do hope some part of my suggestions will be helpful to others who are being challenged in their hope to move from depression to joyful living."  A thoughtful and well-researched book, Living with Depressive Illness and Finding Joy again:  A holistic Approach is an excellent step toward enjoying life at its fullest.

A retired college professor, football coach, and children's camp owner and director, Edward "Ted" Dunn earned an A.B. at Colgate University, M.A. at Springfield College in Massachusetts, and an Ed.D. at Boston University.  He also holds an honorary doctorate from Springfield College in addition to numerous other awards both in academics and in sports.  He and his late wife, Ann, have one grown daughter and a grandson.
