Muses, madmen, and prophets: hearing voices and the borders of sanity

By Smith, Daniel B.

Publishing Date: 2008

Classification: 600

Call Number: 616.89 SMI

Auditory hallucination is one of the most awe-inspiring, terrifying, and ill- understood tricks of which the human psyche is capable. In the age of modern medical science, we have relegated this experience to nothing more than a biological glitch. Yet as Daniel B. Smith puts forth in Muses, Madmen, and Prophets, some of the greatest thinkers, leaders, and prophets in history heard, listened to, and had dialogues with voices inside their heads. In a fascinating quest for understanding, Smith examines the history of this powerful phenomenon, and delivers a ringing defense of the validity of unusual human experiences.- (Penguin Putnam)

Gardening for love: the market bulletins

By Lawrence, Elizabeth

Publishing Date: 1987

Classification: 600

Call Number: 635.0975 LAW

Here is the last manuscript of gifted gardener and garden writer Lawrence, edited after her death by Lacy. The work is drawn from 30 years' correspondence with those who advertised garden seeds and plants in the state agricultural bulletins, a primarily southern means of marketing farm products by ``otherwise ordinary and unrecorded people.'' These sales earned the farm wives extra income, and Lawrence grew their plants in her North Carolina garden. Their knowledge about the names and uses of native plants provided Lawrence with tremendous amounts of information, but mostly she valued these friendships with those who ``garden for love.'' This material will continue to instruct and inspire working gardeners, who will also appreciate Lacy's lists of common plant names and sources. Recommended. Deci Lowry, Chappaqua, N.Y.
