The book focuses on the use of electronic implants to control one's thoughts and reactions. "This is a thoughtful, up to date account of remarkable experiments with electric stimulation of the brain, carried out in cats, monkeys, chimpanzees and a few human patients, as well as in that somewhat romantic experimental animal, the fighting bull." Philip Morrison, Scientific American.

HarperCollins Publishers [Published Date: 1972]. Soft cover, 331 pp. First Harper Colophon Edition, 1972]. Black and white illustrations and photo reproductions. For over half a century, Jean Cocteau was the master bricoleur Jack-of-all-trades in the arts of Western Europe. His trademark, handwritten name with a tailpiece star, became as famous as his name, and his collected works, as Auden said, would require "not a bookshelf, but a warehouse." Besides some fifty volumes of poems, plays, novels, memoirs, diaries, and criticism, he also made drawings, paintings, tapestries, pottery, movies, murals, stage sets, ballets, opera libretti, cabaret songs (music as well as words), and one season he designed a line of Christmas cards....Drawing upon some thirty of Cocteau's books, as well as memoirs by friends and confreres, Professional Secrets follows the trajectory of a living myth. From a bewitched and stage-struck childhood, with Bernhardt and Mistinguett and Proust and Rilke in the wings; to the turning point in 1913 when Diaghilev smiled at the young Cocteau and said, "Etonne-moi. . . Do something that will surprise me. . .", it moves through a series of events and encounters that stand like so many heraldic signs: the opium cures, the love for Raymond Radiguet, the religious crises, the psychosomatic illnesses, the world travels, the friendships with Picasso and Stravinsky, Satie and Chaplin, Colette and Gide; and the incessant, inspired work in theatres, film studios, and alone at a writing table, in the middle of the night, using paper and ink as "the only means I have to forget my ugliness and to become beautiful. . ."

Westward to Vinland: The Discovery of Pre-columbian Norse House-sites in North America

Ingstad, Helge

What are the differences between the sexes? That is the question that Ann Oakley set out to answer in this pioneering study, now established as a classic in the field. To answer it she draws on the evidence of biology, anthropology, sociology and the study of animal behaviour to cut through popular myths and reach the underlying truth. She demonstrates conclusively that men and women are not two separate groups: rather each individual takes his or her place on a continuous scale. She shows how different societies define masculinity and femininity in different and even opposite ways, and discusses how far observable differences are based on biology and psychology and how far on cultural conditioning. Many books have discussed these vital issues. None, however, have drawn on such an impressively wide range of evidence or discussed it with such clarity and authority. Now newly reissued with a substantial introduction which highlights its continuing relevance, this work will continue to inform and shape dialogues around sex and gender for a new generation of scholars and students.
