The Human Brain: Dissections of the Real Brain
"This electronic publication is intended to serve students of all the health and biological sciences who are seeking to understand the organization and functions of the human nervous system. The unique feature of this book is its collection of brain and spinal cord dissections, the nature and quality of which would be virtually impossible for teachers or students to achieve in the teaching lab, where time is limited and correct identification of structures can be a trial. These dissections are offered as examples of the brain dissector's art, and provide students with visual access to an enhanced understanding of structures, pathways, relationships and concepts."

Freud: Conflict & Culture
"Few figures have had so decisive and fundamental an influence on the course of modern cultural history as Sigmund Freud. Yet few figures also have inspired such sustained controversy and intense debate. Freud's legacy continues to be hotly contested, as demonstrated by the controversy attracted by this exhibition even before its opening. Our notions of identity, memory, childhood, sexuality, and, most generally, of meaning have been shaped in relation to--and often in opposition to--Freud's work. The exhibition examines Freud's life and his key ideas and their effect upon the twentieth century."
