Hardback. Condition: Very Good. This book was conceived as a series of historical, clinical, sociological, philosophical and anthropological spotlights on psychiatry and mental disturbances. It is organised around the examination of three main issues: the many facets of mental illness, the evolution of types of treatment and diagnoses, the notions of 'mI'd' and 'brain' which make up a living human being. Medical and clinical practice in the area of mental health includes various branches of learning which constitute a special domain of action on human life. Forty years ago, this domain was reduced to the terms 'madness' and 'mad house'; today it has been extended to include everything from schizophrenia to I'dividual self-development and self-improvement. Mental illness today is a social and political issue as much as a medical one, and concerns every social institution, including families, schools and businesses. The writers of the articles included here are doctors, as well as sociologists, anthropologists and philosophers. They highlight the basic issues underlying mental pathology, and review the recent changes in the field and its consequences. The volume includes studies of multiple-personality disturbances, psychoses in the streets of New York, the concept of madness in I'donesia, the history of French psychiatry, and an extended, previously unpublished preface by Alain Ehrenberg. Contributors: Byron Good, Jacqueline Carroy, Vincent Descombes, Alain Ehrenberg, Jacques Gasser and Michel Stigler, Marc Jeannerod, Geroges Lant ri-Laura, Claude Legrand, Anne Lovell, Sherril Mulhern, Pierre Pachet, Paul Rabinow, Daniel Widl cher, Allan Young.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Ruth M. Underhill (1883?1984) was one of the twentieth century's legendary anthropologists, forged in the same crucible as Franz Boas, Ruth Benedict, and Margaret Mead. After decades of trying to escape her Victorian roots, Underhill took on a new adventure at the age of forty-six, when she entered Columbia University as a doctoral student of anthropology. Celebrated now as one of America's pioneering anthropologists, Underhill reveals her life's journey in frank, tender, unvarnished revelations that form the basis of An Anthropologist's Arrival. This memoir, edited by Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh and Stephen E. Nash, is based on unpublished archives, including an unfinished autobiography and interviews conducted prior to her death, held by the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. In brutally honest words, Underhill describes her uneven passage through life, beginning with a searing portrait of the Victorian restraints on women and her struggle to break free from her Quaker family's privileged but tightly laced control. Tenderly and with humour she describes her transformation from a struggling ""sweet girl"" to wife and then divorcée. Professionally she became a welfare worker, a novelist, a frustrated bureaucrat at the Bureau of Indian Affairs, a professor at the University of Denver, and finally an anthropologist of distinction. Her witty memoir reveals the creativity and tenacity that pushed the bounds of ethnography, particularly through her focus on the lives of women, for whom she served as a role model, entering a working retirement that lasted until she was nearly 101 years old. No quotation serves to express Ruth Underhill's adventurous view better than a line from her own poetry: ""Life is not paid for. Life is lived. Now come.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Climate disruption is often discussed on a global scale, affording many a degree of detachment from what is happening in their own backyards. Yet the consequences of global warming are of an increasingly acute and serious nature.In Virginia Climate Fever, journalist Stephen Nash brings home the threat of climate change to the state of Virginia. Weaving together a compelling mix of data and conversations with both respected scientists and Virginians most immediately at risk from global warming?s effects, Nash details how Virginia?s climate has already begun to change. Nash describes in engaging prose and layman?s terms how a new climate will affect not only our state?s cities but hundreds of square miles of urban and natural coastal areas, the 60 percent of the state that is forested, the Chesapeake Bay, and the near Atlantic, with accompanying threats such as the potential spread of infectious disease. In addition, Nash presents striking descriptions of the vulnerabilities of the state?s wealth of beautiful, natural areas - around which much of its tourism industry is built.While remaining respectful of the controversy around global warming, Nash allows the research to speak for itself. In doing so, he offers a practical approach to and urgent warning about the impending impact of climate change in Virginia.…
