Louis Berman was an Associate in Biology and Chemistry at Columbia University. Berman concludes his introduction by saying, "The stone wall before the honest mechanist is the abolition of purpose, and design, an old insoluble problem upon his premises. Preach, until you are blue in the face, behaviorist tropisms, in which man is pushed and pulled about in his environment as are iron filings in a magnetic field. Think up objective physiologies in which your life and mine become a series of concatenated influences and compound reflexes. Play with words like the concentration reflex when you mean idea, and the symbolic reflex when you mean language. But your most rigid nomenclature will never abolish the mystic personal purpose in the equation, no matter how low the step in the animal series to which you descend. The declaration that a man is dominated by certain glands within his body should not be taken to give aid and comfort to those who would banish mind from the universe." Topics covered include How the glands of internal secretion were discovered, The glands: thyroid and pituitary, The adrenal glands, gonads, and thymus, The glands as an interlocking directorate, How the glands influence the normal body, The mechanics of the masculine and feminine, The rhythms of sex, How the glands influence the mind, The backgrounds of personality, The types of personality, Some historic personages, Applications and possibilities, and The effect upon human evolution.
Margaret Pedler (1877-1948) was a British novelist who gained recognition during the early to mid-20th century, prominently known for her tales of romance and domestic life. Born on December 30, 1877, Pedler turned to writing after a serious eye injury impeded her aspirations as a pianist. She published her debut novel, 'The Splendid Folly,' in 1919, which quickly established her as a popular writer. With over 28 novels to her name, she became one of the best-selling novelists of her time, her works earning her a widespread, dedicated readership. One of Pedler's most celebrated novels, 'The Hermit of Far End' (1919), exemplifies her literary style, which often melds intense emotion with intriguing plots. Though her themes were conventional for the period, her writing showcased a depth of character development and an ability to capture the intricacies of human relationships. Pedler's novels were translated into numerous languages, and several were adapted into films, testament to their appeal and influence. Her books continued to be published posthumously, reaffirming her status as a beloved author whose stories transcended the era in which she wrote. Pedler's discerning exploration of the themes of love, loss, and redemption resonated with readers and solidified her legacy. After her passing on December 28, 1948, her work remained popular for some time, offering a window into the social and romantic sensibilities of the early 20th century.
