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.

American psychology professor explores the interplay between physiological and psychological states in the light of increasing evidence that they exert subtle, long-term influences not only on mood, but also on perception, judgement, and cognitive processes in general - which, in turn, affect behaviour. Drawing on his own data from subjective assessments of mood and research by others, he addresses questions such as what determines a person's mood and its changes, what is the relationship between mood and sugar snacking, smoking, coffee drinking, late-night worry, depression, and insomnia, and the effect do exercise, time of day, nutrition, and sleep have on mood.

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.

468. Wheen, Francis (2009). Strange Days Indeed: The Golden Age of Paranoia (1st ed). London: Fourth Estate. 344 pp. Paperback octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear.

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. Whether it was Nixon's demented behaviour in the White House, Idi Amin, Harold Wilson's insistence that 'they' were out to get him, or the trial of Rupert Bear, it is a story too fantastic to be true. 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.

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.
