Eve's Seed Biology the Sexes and the Course of History
''Eve's Seed is a bestseller waiting to be discovered: a package of sex, science, and species' vanity nicely wrapped in sparkling prose.'--Joyce Appleby, 'Los Angeles Times In this provocative reinterpretation of the human experience, noted historian Robert S. McElvaine bridges the gap between evolutionary biology and history to create a new approach which he terms 'biohistory.' Here for the first time he presents a startlingly fresh thesis: misperceptions about sexual difference and procreative power have, along with misleading sexual metaphors, been the major forces in history. In a bold departure from the methods of conventional history, 'Eve's Seed shows how the interplay between our evolutionary heritage and changing environments has shaped the course of history, from the days of hunter-gatherers to the contemporary world. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461119701

Pilgrim
On April 15, 1912 -- ironically, the date of the sinking of the Titanic -- Pilgrim fails, once again, to commit suicide. His heart miraculously begins to beat five hours after he is found hanging from a tree. Admitted to the Burgholzi Psychiatric Clinic in Zurich by his dear friend Lady Sybil Quartermaine, Pilgrim -- at first, stubbornly mute -- begins a battle of psyche and soul with Carl Jung, self-professed mystical scientist of the unconscious and slave to his own sexual appetite. Populated with a fascinating parade of historical characters, including Jung, Oscar Wilde, Leonardo da Vinci, Henry James, and Gertrude Stein, Pilgrim is a richly layered story of a man's sesarch for his own destiny and an absorbing, fascinating novel that explores ageless questions about humanity and consciousness. - Books Reading - New - 461509990
