Abstract:

Nigerian tribal elders react to Hamlet , brain surgery is discussed and the relationship between psychosis and creativity is considered in an effort to distinguish between cultural conventions and instinctive responses. "Konner felicitously combines humor and a facility for viewing material in a wide perspective with the stuff of technology and biological science in these essays of unfailing interest," said PW.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
