Men, Women and God (v. 1.0)

This book was written in 1922 by A. H. Gray (1868 - 1956), a minister in Glasgow. It is an interesting look at liberal, Christian sexual morality at a time when attitudes towards sex were rapidly changing.

In many ways Gray is remarkably modern and open minded, and much of the advice he gives would benefit people in any era. He is highly supportive of women's rights and equality.

He urges parents to teach children about sex in ways we would now call "age appropriate," and never to lie to them.

For example, when a small child asks "where do babies come from" the parent should say "from inside their mommy" rather than the sort of answer that was common back then such as "the stork brings them."

He thinks that parents have a duty to bear children, but not too many, and after some hemming and hawing he approves of the use of contraceptives.

He thinks husbands should share the burden of housekeeping and taking care of children.

Gray's views are conventional. He opposes sex before marriage. He despises prostitution. He warns against masturbation specifically, and other "perversions" which he does not list or describe, except to say that the word "homosexual" had recently been coined, and some experts were suggesting that it was a natural phenomenon, not a sin or perversion.

Gray disagrees, but he is fair and open minded enough to report these views.

Highly recommend for anyone interested in social history and the history of sex education and sexual morality.

The Nervous Housewife (v. 1.0)

How old is the problem of the Nervous Housewife?

Did the semi−mythical Cave Man (who is perhaps only a pseudo−scientific creation) on his return from a prehistoric hunt find his leafy spouse all in tears over her staglocythic house−cleaning, or the conduct of the youngest cave child? Did she complain of her back, did she have a headache every time they disagreed, did she fuss and fret until he lost his patience and dashed madly out to the Cave Man's Refuge?

We cannot tell; we only know that all humor aside, and without reference to the past, the Nervous Housewife is surely a phenomenon of the present−day American home.

In greater or less degree she is in every man's home; nor is she alone the rich Housewife with too little to do, for though riches do not protect, poverty predisposes, and the poor Housewife is far more frequently the victim of this disease of occupation.

Every practicing physician, every hospital clinic, finds her a problem, evoking pity, concern, exasperation, and despair. She goes from specialist to specialist,—orthopedic surgeon, gynecologist, X−ray man, neurologist. By the time she has completed a course of treatment she has tasted all the drugs in the pharmacopeia, wears plates on her feet, spectacles on her nose, has had her teeth tinkered with, and her insides straightened; has had a course in hydrotherapeutics, electrotherapeutics, osteopathy, and Christian Science!

Here are the chapters included inside the book:

CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTORY
CHAPTER II. THE NATURE OF "NERVOUSNESS"
CHAPTER III. TYPES OF HOUSEWIFE PREDISPOSED TO NERVOUSNESS
CHAPTER IV. THE HOUSEWORK AND THE HOME AS FACTORS IN THE NEUROSIS
CHAPTER V. REACTION TO THE DISAGREEABLE
CHAPTER VI. POVERTY AND ITS PSYCHICAL RESULTS
CHAPTER VII. THE HOUSEWIFE AND HER HUSBAND
CHAPTER VIII. THE HOUSEWIFE AND HER HOUSEHOLD CONFLICTS
CHAPTER IX. THE SYMPTOMS AS WEAPONS AGAINST THE HUSBAND
CHAPTER X. HISTORIES OF SOME SEVERE CASES
CHAPTER XI. OTHER TYPICAL CASES
CHAPTER XII. TREATMENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL CASES
CHAPTER XIII. THE FUTURE OF WOMAN, THE HOME, AND MARRIAGE

The Descent of Man (v. 1.0)

Except perhaps for Darwin's own Origin of Species, The Descent of Man is arguably one of the most important works of its era.

This is an excellent edition of a classic work. All who have any interest in the history of Darwinian evolution and particularly the historical views of the evolution of man will find this fascinating reading.

Of course, times have changed, our hopefully less euro-centric views have been altered and there has been considerable progress through the generations since the original publication by Darwin, and that makes the progress of human knowledge all the more fascinating, as well as the insight Darwin obviously possessed in his day.

This one is a "must-read" for anyone interested in the history of science.

In this day and age, you will find this one still highly relevant.

Excellent scientific book. Highly recommended for anyone who believes in science.
