This second volume of the Analysis of the phenomena of the human mind presents a wide ranging examination of the mind and physical sensations. The beginning chapter (Chapter XIV) discusses and provides definitions of a number of names and relative terms associated with mind processes and mental phenomena. The remaining chapters address the senses; motivation; distinctions between the intellectual and active powers of the mind; the will; intention; social influences and determinants; and, aspects of pleasurable and painful sensations, along with their causes. In terms of writing style, the author clearly reveals his ideas in concise prose. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved).

Written in the Flesh is a history of sexual desire - a startling and provocative history of what people yearn to do sexually. It is the story of the whole body's need for sexual attention rather than simply the genitalia and their procreational function. The desire for sexual pleasure and total body sex - that is, the expansion of sexuality from a limited focus on the face and genitals to include the entire body - is certainly not a new phenomenon: the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Chinese, amongst others, were quite familiar with eroticism that went beyond the strictly heterosexual and procreational. In the long centuries of Christian Europe, when miserable conditions of life and religious repression conspired to minimize the expression of sexual longing, desire was driven underground. Yet in the late nineteenth century, increasing privacy, prosperity, and good health again permitted the underlying biological urge for total body sex to express itself, and encouraged a shift of erotic pleasure toward new and unexplored body zones: the mouth, nipples, anus, and further. This new work by renowned medical historian Edward Shorter demonstrates that desire is hard-wired into the brain, expressing itself in remarkably similar ways in men and women, adolescent and adult, and in gays, lesbians, and straights alike. Drawing from a wide array of sources, including memoirs, novels, collections of letters, diaries, and indeed a large pornographic corpus, Shorter explores the widening of Western society's sexual repertoire. Written in the Flesh is a history of what people like to do in bed and how that has changed. The change is relentless: human sexuality continually seeks new means of liberation in its expression of pleasure. Electronic Format Disclaimer: Images removed at the request of the rights holder.
