Beschreibung

J.B. Lippincott. Philadelphia. 1978. 210 pages. First edition stated; first printing with full numberline including 1. Book is about fine; tight clean and sharp. Pages are bright and lay tight and undisturbed seemingly in unread condition. Original, rare DJ is price clipped. Book is about fine; DJ is VG to VG- per light rubbing and two closed tears. One tiny, tiny chip at heel of DJ spine. Dr. John Lilly; a controversial, counterculture physician, neuroscientist, psychoanalyst, psychonaut, philosopher, writer, inventor, close friend of Timothy Leary; and LSD advocate. This is his own very interesting story. Aside from Lilly's prominent role in the counterculture 60's, he is also an accomplished pioneer of animal communication in its infancy; and his work with bottlenose dolphins is still sited today. A most interesting character to say the least; flying slightly below the radar; opting to let friend and confidante Timothy Leary receive the bulk of academia's counterculture celebrity. The film Altered States based off Paddy Chayefsky novel of the same name is loosely based off Lilly's work. A scarce, cult-classic; uncommon in hardcover; let alone outright rare in the first printing; with DJ. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002230
