Last year, the notorious Doctor Fid waged a violent war to save the Earth from annihilation. Two months ago, the armored supervillain fought a vicious battle to save his city. Today, there is only one little girl in need of rescue. Pity any who stand in Doctor Fid's way. It has been more than two decades since the tragedy that led to the creation of Doctor Fid. The brilliant supervillain has since built weapons of legendary power and forged a terrifying reputation out of violence and misery. Even the mightiest heroes trembled at the sound of Doctor Fid's mocking laughter. But time had dulled the villain's rage, and the bloodiest years had become nothing but a bad memory. Now a new tragedy looms, and Doctor Fid must face his own inner demons before the old madness swallows him whole. Because--to prevent a repeat of his past--the Doctor Fid of yesteryear would have been willing to sacrifice anything or commit any horror. Even if it would have meant pulling the stars from the sky and tearing the very universe asunder.

The Relationship Code

The Relationship Code

David Reiss; Jenae M. Neiderhiser; E. Mavis Hetherington; Robert Plomin

Harvard University Press
2003

The Relationship Code is the report of a longitudinal study, conducted over a ten-year period, of the influence of family relationships and genetic factors on competence and psychopathology in adolescent development. The sample for this landmark study included 720 pairs of same-sex adolescent siblings—including twins, half siblings, and genetically unrelated siblings—and their parents. Using a clear expressive style, David Reiss and his coinvestigators identify specific mechanisms that link genetic factors and the social environment in psychological development. They propose a striking hypothesis: family relationships are crucial to the expression of genetic influences on a broad array of complex behaviors in adolescents. Moreover, this role of family relationships may be very specific: some genetic factors are linked to mother–child relationships, others to father–child relations, some to relationship warmth, while others are linked to relationship conflict or control. The specificity of these links suggests that family relationships may constitute a code for translating genetic influences into the ontogeny of behaviors, a code every bit as important for behavior as DNA-RNA.
The Family’s Construction of Reality

The Family’s Construction of Reality

David Reiss

Harvard University Press
1987

David Reiss presents a new model of family interaction grounded in the subtle and complex way in which a family constructs its inner life and deals with the outside world. Based upon fifteen years of research, the book offers a new understanding of the covert processes that hold a family together and, with distressing frequency, pull it apart.
