The Anatomy of Hallucinations by Fred H. Johnson is one of the best psychology books of all times. It is a book of such rare insight one might almost think it is a book too good to be true, when one starts reading other books on the subject of mental illness and hallucinations.

For instance, to quote the book on page 29 "...of the 113 geniuses that have most helped civilization, 37 per cent to 40 per cent were psychotic, 83 per cent to 90 per cent were psychopathic or sociopathic , and 30 per cent of the most important were committed (Lange-Eichbaum 1932, Stein and Heinze, 1960)."

This is typical of Johnson's style. He states the most sublime and unusual facts, and then backs it up with academic psychological studies. It's really a wonder that the book is not in print. You can't even presently buy a copy from a rare book search! Please write Wadsworth publishing who own the rights to the book to get it reprinted.

This book is especially important because of the exact nature it describes how audio hallucinations are causes, by our projecting our inner speech or thoughts. Many people today are engaged in doing this not by mental illness but by wishful new age thinking. This statement doesn't deny true spirituality, it instead can define it. With knowledge of Johnson's work, one can see that the practice of "listening for the voice" is often self-deluding and self-serving.

This is a gem of a book. It has been endorsed with a forward by Professor Harold Ellis who is regarded by many as the greatest teacher of clinical anatomy on the Western World. All authors have been tutored in the dissection room by Professor Ellis. The book covers all the major areas of the body and questions are based on tutorials given by the authors in the dissection room while they were demonstrators at Guy's Hospital School of Medicine in London. This book helped me pass my surgical exams at first sitting and I recommend it to you.

Python fans beware: this book will extremely tax your knowledge of everything Python and make you exclaim "my brain hurts!" Kim Howard Johnson masterfully displays both his love of the group's comedy and his knowledge of their work in this whimsical trivia compendium. Filled with fun facts and quirky quizzes, "Trivial" will make even the most devout Python follower feel like a novice. Think you know "Holy Grail" or the Dead parrot sketch like the back of your hand? Come and take the test....

This book of true golf stories contains sections on such notables as Tommy Armour, Seve Ballesteros, Patty Berg, Julius Boros, Roberto de Vincenzo, Ben Hogan, Bernhard Langer, Nancy Lopez, Dave Marr, Byron Nelson, Jose Maria Olazabel, Francis Ouimet, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Nick Price, Sam Snead, Lee Trevino, and Tiger Woods (among others). The sections are humorously illustrated with caricatures by Pulitzer-prize winning cartoonist, Paul Szep.

While not all of the stories were new to me, they are in the great tradition of those who love the game. This is a great book to have and to give as a gift.

My favorite story from the book was one that I had already known, but I was glad to be reminded of it. On Christmas Eve while visiting friends in Fort Worth shortly before her death, Babe Zaharias asked to be taken to Colonial. Once there, she got out weakly wearing pajamas and a bathrobe. She walked over to the green on number two, and lay down. She touched the grass, and said, "I just wanted to see a golf course one more time."

Many of the stories are quite light, and will make for good telling during your next round. Bob Hope asked Jimmy Demaret, "Jimmy, with my game, what do I have to do to be a consistent winner?" "Cheat," said Demaret.

Some of the stories just plain make sense. The short, 107 yard par 3 seventh hole at Pebble Beach can be tough when you have to tee off into a gale. After his companions lost ball after ball in these conditions during an exhibition round, Walter Hagen pulled out his putter and rolled the ball downhill near the green. He got up and down in two from there to make his par.

When the greats meet the greats, interesting things happen. John Jacobs was a fine touring pro who became an even better teacher. One day Peter Thomson (five time winner of the British Open) asked Jacobs to come give him a lesson. Jacobs waited while Thomson got a club. Thomson got into address position, and asked Jacobs what he thought. Jacobs approved, and the lesson was over.

Having known people who threw clubs, I was interested in the firm line that Arnold Palmer's father took when Arnie lofted one over a tree while a youngster. Nancy Lopez's father did the same.

A beautiful moment in the book comes when Arnie tells Tiger to wear the mantle of leadership with pride, passing on his own heritage as a great champion.

After you have finished reading and enjoying the stories, think about how you could share these stories with others to help them enjoy golf and life more. Most of us learn better through stories, and these are very good ones. Be sure to pick your time and place. Many of the stories relate to famous holes, and could be nicely combined with a pleasant round (at say, Augusta). That would be a wonderful use for this fine book.

Dinosaurs are among the examples of extinct species examined here along with giant tortoises, passenger pigeons, and the dodo. Good discussion of environmental risk.

I really liked The Animal In Man. The reason I decided to read The Animal In Man is because of a song. The song is called "Animal In Man" by Dead Prez. I found the song very well writen. I think The Animal In Man is about blacks (the other animals in the farm) helping whites(the pigs) defeate England (the farmer). I recomend this book to any one who has an interest in history or civil rights.

Gesine Cresspahl, a 34-year-old German national, single mother of a 10-year-old, lives in New York City and works for a large bank. Starting in August 1967, she records her thoughts, her life and her research into her family history every day for her daughter's benefit.

She comes from Mecklenburg, a province on Germany's Baltic coast. She was born on the weekend when the Nazis came to power in 1933 (echoes of The Tin Drum, except Gesine grew up). She grew up during the Nazi dictatorship, then the communist dictatorship. Somehow, she escaped from East Germany through Czechoslovakia and Frankfurt to reach her permanent residence in New York.

Her thoughts (sometimes they are clearly diary entries, other times they seem more glimpses into her consciousness) take us through several points in 20th-century German history. We see the land-baron Junker society of eastern Germany, tottering amid worker and farmer uprisings in the desperate years after World War I; her father gets caught in the struggles between socialists, communists and nationalists as the Nazis take power; religious figures suffer in the lawless Hitler regime.

At the same time, she observes her surroundings sharply: the upper West Side neighborhood in which she lives, the daily dispatches of America's Vietnam involvement, courtesy of that "friendly aunt, the New York Times," her ambivalent quasi-romantic involvement with alcoholic weapons engineer "D.E." The English title is slightly misleading: Gesine Cresspahl relates stories relevant to her life each particular day, rather than stories of what happened on each day in history. "Days of the Year" would be a better translation than "Anniversaries."

I read the first of the four "deliveries" of this novel on the recommendation of a German in-law; he said he thought it the most engrossing work he's read. I agree: the descriptions of the long-gone pre-1945 German society are fascinating, and Gesine is a striking narrator, as much for what she tells you about herself and her observations as what she does not. I read it very slowly (in German, 6 pages a night with my dictionary beside me), and never felt like giving up. Having finished volume one, I intend to continue my slow march through the 1,200 other pages to find out how Gesine left the Democratic Republic and to see if we find out anything more about Jacob, the mysterious father of her child.

The style is very down-to-earth. While Johnson (like Grass) may be trying to tell us something deeper about how Germans should handle their intimidating history, the message is subtle and not given at the expense of the interest in sheer narration.
