The flight from woman

Stern, Karl
Dr. Stern’s The Flight from Woman is a study of the polarity of the sexes as reflected in the conflict between two modes of knowledge–scientific or rational, as contrasted with intuitive or poetic. In exploring this rich theme, he undertakes the psychological portraits of six representative figures whose thought and work have influenced modern man: Descartes, Goethe, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Tolstoy, and Sartre. The scientific revolution of the last 300 years has yielded, in Dr. Stern’s view, a de-ferninization and de-humanization of society, in the sense that it is a rejection of the kind of wisdom, called sophia, that is comprehended intuitively. “If we equate the one-sidedly rational and technical with the masculine,” he states, “there arises the ghastly specter of a world impoverished of womanly values.” A deeply original work, The Flight from Woman goes far beyond psychology in its analysis of the malaise of our time.

Consenting Adult

Laura Zametkin Hobson
Never silent since that peak in Darien, Mrs. Hobson, who has attacked any form of prejudice including Hollywood's Archie Bunkerisms, now discovers homosexuality. To be sure this is no more than a soap--the follow-up of that letter that Tessa Lynn gets from her third and favorite child Jeff who's in boarding school. Out of the closet, onto the couch where he spends four years. Nothing changes; only Tessa who will learn that it's society that's homophobic and that there should be no stigma to the path he's chosen which leads on to the Gay Lib manifesto. The supreme moment (""her heart shook"") is when Jeff, now a doctor, returns home with his lover by his side. All in the ""fullness"" of maternal love cum enlightenment--no place to be for very long.

Blood

Vroman, Leo
The only thriving wildlife still barely touched is the hot, confusing & poorly lit world within. The strangely shaped glands & bones, the transparent lungs, the dense tangle of cells in the brain hold worlds within worlds; & thru it all, streams of blood. Vroman drew his 1st sample of blood shortly after WWII &, during the past 20 years, has made its study his vocation & avocation. The mechanisms of coagulation have been of particular fascination & it's the story of his research on the prothrombin complex that introduced the reader of this volume to all aspects of human blood--its development, structure & function. Based on up-to-date biochemical research.IntroductionThe Structure of Blood; Coagulation; HemophiliaHOW WE PLAY WITH The Atom; The Hydrogen Bond; Hydrophobic Binding; Protein Formation; Protein AnalysisHOW PROTEINS PLAY WITH US; The Prothrombin Compex; Proteins & Heredity; Monomolecuilar Films; Hemoglobin; Thrombosis & the Hageman FactorRED Membrane Functions; Blood Types; The Formation of Red Cells; Radioactive Counts; Hemoglobin an Red Cell Survival WHITE White Cell Count; Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils; Lymphocytes, Plasma Cells & ImmunityTHE Functions of the Blood; HemostasisSome Dates; Some Literature; Some Sizes; Index

Matthew Arnold

Lionel Trilling
Matthew Arnold BY LIONEL TRILLING NEW YORK COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON GEORGE ALLEN and UNWIN, LTD. Copyright 1939, 1949, by Lionel Trilling FIRST PRINTING 1939 BY W. W. NORTON COMPANY, INC. REISSUED WITH ADDITIONAL MATERIAL 1949 BY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS AND GEORGE ALLEN AND UNWIN, LTD. REPRINTED 1958 MANUFACTURED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO DIANA CITY MO. PUBLIC PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION BOOK was first published ten years ago. The demand I for it during this time, although certainly not large, has been --steady enough to have exhausted the last printing of the original publisher this is naturally a satisfaction to me, and no less gratifying is the action of the Press of my own University in making the book again available. Because of technical considerations a re vision of the text was not possible. I have been able to correct certain literal inaccuracies, although probably not all. But I have not been able to let my pencil follow its strong, irritable impulse to alter phrases, sentences, and paragraphs, or to modify and make juster the state ments that now cause me uneasiness. For this I am very glad. One s sense of style does, I think, improve with the years and one is likely to acquire stricter notions of how prose should sound and of what is due one s readers and possibly one even does also acquire more precise notions of the way things are, of what the object really is. But were I able to undertake incidental revisions I should certainly be led on to fundamental ones, and I am relieved that circumstance pro tects me from this temptation. Leaving aside the question of whether or not it is proper to impose a present self on a former self, I know that ten yearsago I had the advantage of a much more intimate con nection with Matthew Arnold than I have now, and, of much more knowledge of certain aspects of 19th-century thought. When the book was done, I quite intentionally turned away from the subject, know ing that my absorption in it had inevitably had its effect on my mind, one that on the whole I thought beneficial, but having no wish to be, Preface to the Second Edition as one says in the academic profession, quot an Arnold man. quot Were I now to undertake any fundamental revision, I should be tampering with the work of a writer who, whatever the lapses of his knowledge, knew more about certain matters than I do now and, whatever the failures of his judgment, had the considerable advantage of a deep involve ment with his subject. I may, however, without encroachment, mention two faults of the book of which I became aware soon after its publication. Mr. Ed mund Wilson remarked in a review that in my narrative of Arnold s youthful stress the figure of Arthur Hugh Clough is not sufficiently clear and solid I think that this is so, and it is indeed a fault, and an opportunity missed. Then I am in agreement with the reviewers who said that I did not pay enough attention to the aesthetics of Arnold s poetry. I speak in particular of these two insufficiencies because they are of a kind which the reader can supply if once he has been put in mind of them. The ten years have of course seen a continuing production of scholarly and critical work on Arnold. I could certainly have derived benefit from this work had it been available to me as I was writing but, so far as I know, nothing has as yet appeared which would lead me to change in any essentialway my account of Arnold s thought. The two most considerable publications of the decade are The Poetry of Matthew Arnold A Commentary, by Chauncey Brewster Tinker and Howard Foster Lowry Oxford University Press, 1940, which is mentioned in my original preface as not yet published, and Matthew Arnold, Pohe Essai de biographic psychologique, by Professor Louis Bonnerot Paris, Didier, 1947, The new edition of Arnold s poems by Professor Tinker and President Lowry is on the point of publication and Dr...
