Psychology, Psychiatry, Medicine & Health

London: George Routledge & Sons, 1935 This precursor to Mead's illuminating work, Male & Female, Sex & Temperament lays the groundwork for her lifelong study of gender differences. Focusing on three distinctly different tribes from New Guinea, Mead advances the theory that many so-called masculine and feminine characteristics are not based on fundamental sex differences, but reflect the cultural conditioning of different societies..

Folkestone: Winterdown Books, 1990 First bibliography of the famous English physician (1624-89), sometimes called the English Hippocrates from his insistence to rely on clinical observations as opposed to dogma and tradition. For a long time he was held in vague esteem for the success of his cooling (or rather expectant) treatment of small-pox, for his laudanum (the first form of a tincture of opium), and for his advocacy of the use of Peruvian bark in quartan agues --- in other words, the use of quinine-containing chinchona bark for treatment of malaria caused by Plasmodium malariae. There were, however, those among his contemporaries who understood something of Sydenham's importance in larger matters than details of treatment and pharmacy, chief among them being the talented Richard Morton.

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1998 Biography of a transvestite jazz musician. A woman who lived as a man. Suits Me is the incredible story of a gifted deceiver who lived and loved in two skins, one of each sex. Jazz musician Billy Tipton grew up as Dorothy Tipton but lived as a man from the time she was nineteen until she died at the age of 74. Tipton's death made news all over the world, not because he was celebrated as a musician but because of the scale of his deception he had been "married" to five women and had reared several adopted children. A masterpiece of skillful detection and perceptive storytelling, Suits Me is a finely nuanced biography that not only recounts the career of a gifted jazz musician, but also makes one rethink theories of gender, and perhaps of reality itself. Includes a bibliography. "If Billy Tipton succeeded at becoming a man, [Diane Wood] Middlebrook prevails at a literary task as daunting: She makes Tipton a person."David Hajdu.. First Edition.

London: Tavistock Publications, 1964 This study of ways of helping delinquents to become less anti-social and more productive is based on the premise that aetiology must be understood and then the individual treated in as expert a way as possible.

New York: Random House, 1971 Merle Miller (May 17, 1919 - June 10, 1986) was an American novelist best known for his biographies of Presidents Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson. Three years before his best-selling book Plain Speaking, An Oral Biography of Harry S. Truman (1974), he wrote a personal account "What It Means to Be a Homosexual" published in The New York Times Magazine January 17, 1971. Born in Montour, Iowa, he grew up in Marshalltown, Iowa and attended the University of Iowa and the London School of Economics. During World War II, Miller served in the U.S. Army Air Corps as an editor of Yank. After the war he worked Time and Harper's magazines (1945-1949). His first novel was That Winter ( 1948). His other books are The Sure Thing (1949); Reunion (1954); A Gay and Melancholy Sound (1961); Only You, Dick Daring! (1964); The Warm Feeling (1968); What Happened (1972); A Secret Understanding (1961); On Being Different (1971); and Lyndon: An Oral Biography (1980). In Only You, Dick Daring!, his scathing account of trying to make a show with CBS for the 1963-1964 television season, Merle Miller talks of how James T. Aubrey, Jr., the president of the CBS Television Network, would simply walk out of meetings without offering any substantive comments, good or bad. Miller was assured by other CBS executives that meant things were fine, but Miller learned later of efforts to force him out. A pilot for the show, Calhoun, to star Jackie Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck, was shot and put on the fall schedule, but never aired. Miller died in Danbury, Connecticut of complications of abdominal surgery.. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. more information

London: Hart-Davies, MacGibbon, 1975. In a kaleidoscopic, almost cinematic style, Kate Millett unreels her inner and outer life during one decisive year: the year after Sexual Politics transformed her almost overnight from unknown sculptor to media star. In the heady atmosphere of instant fame, while she is constantly moving between New York and London, Cape Cod and her farm in Poughkeepsie, Millett's days and nights are filled with flashes of anger, moments of intimacy, appointments, funerals, divorces, parties, and meetings. Her response is to write it all down, resulting in the book she called ""the most fun I ever had as a writer.""A rushing, swirling outpouring of intimate self-revelation, Flying sweeps the reader along in a whirlwind of anxiety, exhilaration, and white-hot passion. Millett retraces her strict Irish-Catholic upbringing in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the shock of early sexual feelings and events. She recounts the guilt of her first love for another woman and the joy of her relationship with her husband, the Japanese sculptor Fumio Yoshimura. With complete candor, Millett reveals a turmoil of memories, fears, and triumphs: her doubts about her own strength in fulfilling the role of visionary for the women's movement, pressure from the movement when she reveals her bisexuality to the press, and, finally, a renewed determination to live and grow as an artist and a writer.".
