Beyond Poststructuralism. The Speculations of Theory and the Experience of Reading. Edited by Wendell V. Harris. Published by Penn State University Press, 1996. ISBN 9780271014968 / 0271014962. New 9 x 6 inches softcover. 445 Pages. Select bibliography. Index of Names. Index of Subjects. -- SUMMARY: The essays in Part I of Beyond Poststructuralism seek to demonstrate fallacies of structuralist and poststructuralist thought that remain potent even though the theoretical structures that led to their enunciation have lost much of their original influence. These fallacies include the idea that one must avoid the consideration of authorial intention; that meanings are undecidable; that there is no justification for seeking unity in a text; that all hierarchies of value are reversible; that history is no more than an open contest among competing narrative constructions; and that the very nature of language makes the falsifiability of statements about human experience impossible. ------- The essays in Part… Read More

Beyond a World Divided. Human Values in the Brain-Mind Science of Roger Sperry. By Erika Erdmann and David Stover. Published by Shambhala. Stated 1st Edition, 1991. ISBN 0877735905. New half-cloth hardcover with new dust jacket. 208 Pages. Roger Sperry' s Key Papers. Epigraph Sources. Notes. Index. -------- COMMENTARY: Thinkers as diverse as C.P. Snow, J. Bronowski, and Carl Sagan describe the rift between science and the humanities as the greatest barrier to solving the many problems threatening today's world. During the last two decades of his life, Nobel laureate Roger W. Sperry, best known for pioneering split-brain studies that highlighted the differing aptitudes of the two hemispheres of the human brain, turned his energies to this dilemma. Sperry's ideas about consciousness challenged the behaviorist orthodoxy that prevailed in psychology in the 1950s and 60s, and provided a way of understanding the relationship between brain and mind that not only more accurately reflected reality, but also… Read More

The Bible Without The BS. The Political Origin and Function of Scripture. By Burton Brunson. Self-published. 2009. New 9 x 6 inches soft cover. 199 Pages. ---- SUMMARY: This is biblical analysis using reason, free from tradition or bias, to determine the fundamental validity, if any, of Western religion. The analysis includes debunking several long-standing traditions. (In the Hebrew bible, Noah's flood was local; it didn't cover the whole world. In the Hebrew bible, the Garden of Eden wasn't a garden. It was a plantation. In the Hebrew bible, the guy in the "garden" wasn't living a life in Paradise; he was a farm laborer. These and other radical observations are clearly documented, with chapter and verse. This book refers to a problem that over twenty centuries of clergy have been afraid to tell their congregations about: the fact that the Hebrew bible uses the same name to refer to both God and the gods, making no distinction between the two. The distinction was added later by translators. This book… Read More

Bismarck. By Edgar Feuchtwanger. Published by Routledge. London. UK. 2002. ISBN 0415216141. New 7.7 x 5.1 inches softcover. 312 Pages. Illustrated. Notes. Further reading. Edgar Feuchtwanger studied history at Cambridge and taugh British and German history at the University of Southampton and has been visiting professor at the University of Frankfurt. His major publications include From Weimar to Hitler (1995) Disraeli (2000), Imperial Germany 1850-1918. Edgar Feuchtwanger has written a synthesis of the recent British scholarship on Otto Bismarck and his place in the story of the foundation of the German empire. The author has a gift for clarifying nineteenth-century German and Prussian politics, a necessity for any biography of Bismarck. That analytical clarity should be welcome to professional historians and intelligent general readers alike. Do not be deceived by the brevity of this work; it is a respected contribution to the historiography on Bismarck and Imperial Germany. This is not "great man"… Read More

New 9 x 6 inches cloth hardcover with new dustjacket - no flaws. 205 Pages. Illustrated. Notes. Works Cited. Index. COMMENTS: John Gruesser uses the concept of Ethiopianismthe biblically inspired belief that black Americans would someday lead Africans and people of the diaspora to a bright futureto provide a framework for his study.

Beginning with the Harlem Renaissance and continuing through the Italian invasion and occupation of Ethiopia, however, its influence on the portrayal of the continent slowly diminished. Ethiopianism's decline can first… Read More
