Light rubbing and toning to edges of paper over boards. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Science once had an unshakable faith in its ability to bring the forces of nature even human nature under control. In this wide-ranging book Anson Rabinbach examines how developments in physics, biology, medicine, psychology, politics, and art employed the metaphor of the working body as a human motor. From nineteenth-century theories of thermodynamics and political economy to the twentieth-century ideals of Taylorism and Fordism, Rabinbach demonstrates how the utopian obsession with energy and fatigue shaped social thought across the ideological spectrum.(Publisher).

ABOUT THIS BOOK: What kind of doctor puts his patients on display? This is the spellbinding tale of a mysterious Coney Island doctor who revolutionized neonatal care more than one hundred years ago and saved some seven thousand babies.

As Dawn Raffel recounts, Dr. Couney used incubators and careful nursing to keep previously doomed infants…

ABOUT THIS BOOK: This book analyses and evaluates the mystical trends observable in the writings of mystics in Medieval India with particular emphasis on the mystics of Maharashtra. We get a fair idea of the spiritual heaven introduced into Indian thought by the writers such as Ramananda, Kabir, Gauranga, Jnanesvara, Namadeva, Ekanatha, Tukarama, Ramadasa and others. The list exhausts all types of mysticism that are known to exist. The book is rather a study of comparative mysticism and it draws striking parallelism between the mystics of Maharashtra and the Western mystics like Plotinus, Eckhart, Dante and others.(Publisher).

ABOUT THIS BOOK: A spine-chilling saga of virulent racism, human folly, and the ultimate triumph of scientific progress. For Chinese immigrant Wong Chut King, surviving in San Francisco meant a life in the shadows. His passing on March 6, 1900, would have been unremarkable if a city health officer hadn't noticed a swollen black lymph node on his groin a sign of bubonic plague. Empowered by racist pseudoscience, officials rushed to quarantine Chinatown while doctors examined Wong's tissue for telltale bacteria. If the devastating disease was not contained, San…

The possible threat to our institutions from a highly centralized new military authority would be at least visible and measurable, but the conceivable danger represented by an autonomous intelligence agency is by nature imponderable. Even the necessity of such a function of government is a matter for uneasy and uninformed speculation.(Publisher).
