The present volume reflects this effort. It was a labor of love to read this scholarly, timely book-the first of its kind on the topic. It was especially encouraging to find that its authors are remarkably free of the phenomenon they have been investigating. One might have expected the opposite. It has often been argued that people select topics that trouble them and come to understand their problems better by studying or treating them in others. This does not appear to be true of the procrastination researchers represented in this book. I base this conclusion on two simple observations. First, the work is replete with recent refer­ ences and the book itself has reached the reader scarcely a year following its completion. Second, when one considers the remarkable pace of pro­ grammatic research by these contributors during the past decade, it is clear that they are at the healthy end of the procrastination continuum. The fascinating history of the term procrastination is well documented in this book. The term continues to conjure up contrasting, eloquent images-especially for poets. When Edward Young wrote in 1742, "Pro­ crastination is the Thief of Time," he was condemning the waste of the most precious of human commodities. 410 0$aThe Springer Series in Social Clinical Psychology,$x1568-2528 606 $aClinical psychology 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aPersonality 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aClinical Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12005 606 $aCognitive Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20060 606 $aPersonality and Social Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050 615 0$aClinical psychology. 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 14$aClinical Psychology. 615 24$aCognitive Psychology. 615 24$aPersonality and Social Psychology. 676 $a616.89 700 $aFerrari$b Joseph R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01638343 702 $aJohnson$b Judith L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aMcCown$b William G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808753403321 996 $aProcrastination and Task Avoidance$93980669 997 $aUNINA
