Thorverton, UK: Imprint Academic. 166 pp. Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. How does the conscious mind relate to the physical body? Two common views from the past offered the stark choice between dualism in which mind and body were quite separate, and physicalism in which the mind was in fact nothing but the physical brain. Both these views are now widely rejected. Emergence theory offers a compromise: the mind emerges from the physical body but the whole person, mind and body, is more than the sum of the physical parts. Philosopher Robert Van Gulick gives a clear and masterly overview and comparison of the current emergent and reductive approaches. The editor's own chapter argues for the radical proposal that even God is an emergent property. ISBN/ASIN: 0907845185. Our Book No: 16008. $20 AUD.

He then examines the origins of morality, overturning the view that evolution made us fundamentally selfish creatures. It is possible to liberate ourselves from the disputes that divide good people, and to cooperate with those whose views differ from our own. ISBN/ASIN: 9780141039169. Our Book No: 18011. $22 AUD.

218. Johnson, Dominic D. P. (2004). Overconfidence and War: The Havoc and Glory of Positive Illusions. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press (HUP). 280 pp. Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), cloth spine, paper covered boards, minimal edgewear. Dominic Johnson reports that opponents rarely go to war without thinking they can win - and, clearly, one side must be wrong. This conundrum lies at the heart of the so-called war puzzle': rational states should agree on their differences in power and thus not fight. But states are no more rational than people: they are susceptible to exaggerated ideas of their own virtue, of their ability to control events, and of the future. This cognitive bias (positive illusions) - important in evolutionary biology, psychology, and the politics of international conflict - offers compelling insights into why states wage war. Traces the effects of positive illusions on four turning points in 20th-century history: two that erupted into war (World War I and Vietnam), and two that did not (the Munich crisis, and the Cuban missile crisis).

New Haven: Yale University Press (YUP). 354 pp. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear jacket, tiny dent bottom edge front cover. Rebecca Lemov reports on Harvard psychologist Bert Kaplan who set out to build the largest database of sociological information ever assembled. It was the mid-1950s, just before the dawn of the digital age (and the later big data projects). Kaplan, along with anthropologist A. I. Hallowell and a team of researchers, gathered research from a varied range of non-European subjects among remote and largely non-literate peoples around the world. Kaplan saw future researchers using the data through the cutting-edge Readex machine. However, technological developments and the obsolescence of the theoretical framework rendered the project irrelevant, and soon it was forgotten. The database was intended as a repository of humankind’s most elusive ways of being human, that is, an anthropological archive. This is a book about those encounters between scientists and subjects, between knowledge and machines - as well as the data that flowed out of them and the ways these were preserved or not preserved.

New Haven: Yale University Press. 320 pp. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket). In 1997, Prusiner received a Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. His struggle to identify the agent responsible for ravaging the brains of animals suffering from scrapie and mad cow disease, and of humans with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, had been waged largely alone and in some cases in the face of strenuous disagreement. In this book, Prusiner tells the remarkable story of his discovery of prions - infectious proteins that replicate and cause disease, but surprisingly contain no genetic material - and reveals how superb and meticulous science is actually practiced with talented teams of researchers who persevere. He recounts the frustrations and rewards of years of research and offers fascinating portraits of his peers as they raced to discover the causes of fatal brain diseases. Prusiner’s hypothesis, once considered heresy, now stands as accepted science and the basis for developing diagnoses and eventual cures. This discovery may be relevant to understanding a range of diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. ISBN/ASIN: 9780300191141. Our Book No: 17418. $20 AUD.

The final two essays address the narrative turn in social sciences. The implications of considering persons as story-telling, metaphorical animals is explored, as is the inevitability that personal stories are infused by wider, cultural narratives.

By British neuropsychologist Lawrence Weiskrantz, a British neuropsychologist, has researched blindsight and amnesia in patients for 30 years. The phenomenon of consciousness is intrinsically related to one's awareness of self, time and the physical world. We can learn about consciousness from brain-damaged patients who suffer from conditions affecting their awareness. Contrary to the perception that many have about brain-damaged patients, many of these individuals retain intact capacities of which they are unaware - in what is known as 'covert processing'. Weiskrantz maps his own research onto a philosophical argument which, combined with the latest brain imaging studies, points the way to specific brain structures which may be involved in conscious awareness.

Francis Wheen provides an hilarious and jaw-dropping chronicle of the 1970s, golden age of the paranoid style. The 1970s evokes memories of Abba and Fawlty Towers, but it was really a theme park of mass paranoia on the verge of a collective nervous breakdown, huddled over candles waiting for the next terrorist bomb, kidnapping or food shortage warning.

With his acute sense of the absurd he exposes the sickly decade in which nations were brought to a halt by power cuts, military coups, economic anarchy and the arrival of Uri Geller.

London: Arrow Books. 107 pp. Paperback trade, very good condition, figures, pages lightly toned, minor edgewear. British psychologist Richard Wiseman writes an exciting and unusual self-help book that shows a new way of creating opportunities at work and in personal life. In a recent series of psychological experiments, volunteers were assigned a counting task watching a film, and after just a few seconds a man dressed as a gorilla slowly walked into view, beat his chest at the camera, and sauntered off. Remarkably, almost none of the people watching the film noticed the gorilla. Exactly the same psychological mechanisms that cause people to miss the gorilla also make them miss unexpected but vitally important opportunities in their professional and personal lives. This book outlines the scientific evidence and thinking behind this remarkable new phenomenon, and shows you how you can spot gorillas in your life - and what to do when you see one.
