The Explorer King: Adventure, Science, And the Great Diamond Hoax - Clarence King in the Old West
Wilson, Robert
ISBN: 0743260252
Scribner Old Tappan, New Jersey, U.S.A. 2006
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hard Cover New book, 302 pages. This book paints a brilliant portrait of Clarence King - a scientist explorer whose mountain-scaling, desert-crossing, river-fording, blizzard-surviving adventures helped create the new West of the nineteenth century. The Yale educated King went west in 1863 at age twenty-one as a geologist-explorer. During the next decade he scaled the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada, published a popular book now considered a classic of adventure literature, initiated a ground breaking land survey of the American West, and ultimately uncovered one of the greatest frauds of the century - the Great Diamond Hoax, a discovery that made him an international celebrity at a time when they were few and far between.

The Shape of Minds to Come
Taylor, John
ISBN: 0718107888
Michael Joseph London 1971 First Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardcover 500 g; VIII, 278 pages, includes bibliography, indexed. Illustrated dust jacket. On the front edge of the text block at the bottom there is a small pale splash mark which has no depth into the margins of the pages. The dust jacket has a 0.5 inch split at the bottom of the rear fold over crease. Slight rubbing of the top edge of the front panel. This book presents some of the startling developments which are at present a caring in research into the nature of the brain, and its control over human behaviour. It forecasts how this research will be applied in "personality engineering". At the moment every aspect of behaviour can be controlled, and with more than more precision. This gives a view of man as a "puppet on a string", who can pull his own strings if he wants, or let them be pulled to him if he is sick enough or innocent enough to let this be done. This book describes the way the strings can be pulled, and with what precision, at the present time, both for man and a variety of animals. -- front fold over blurb Psychology Good
