Suppose you are sitting in front of your TV watching a much hyped expose' about a country who has isolated itself from the rest of the world since its beginning, 44 years ago. What you learn is that the country has advanced well beyond everyone else in the ability of their scientists to enhance human intelligence. They can also program the human brain to perform more efficiently and effectively in many activities, ranging from leisure pastimes to military combat, and they are advanced in several other areas of the biological sciences. Wouldn't you be interested...and maybe a little concerned? The country's name is Libator, and the expose' occurs in 2075. Stephanie Li, the main character, is a third generation Chinese- American who is ambitious, bright, outwardly fearless, and initially lacking strong principles. She works for a major news agency and it is her expose' on Libator that shocks the world. In gathering her information, she is pursued by mentally enhanced killers and is horribly abused in her efforts to discover the secrets of the country. In an ironic twist, it is Libator that rescues and protects her. www.donaldprobin.com

The fifth volume of Imagery emanates from the matrix of presentations offered after the conventions of the American Association for Mental Imagery for the years 1987 and 1988. The first meeting was held in Toronto; the second at Yale University. An overview of the presentations covered such a variety of subjects that we thought the subtitle would be most appropriately--Current Perspectives. For the first time in five volumes, two contributions are related to anthropological imagery by Caughey and Brink. John Caughey, whose book, Imaginary Social Worlds pioneered the social psychology approach to the silent inner imagination, offers a fine chapter in anthropological imagery of his own experiences with Sufi mystics in Pakistan and Micronesian Islanders in the Western Pacific compared to middle-class Americans. Nicholas Brink follows with a chapter on "The Healing Powers of the Native American Medicine Wheel. " Theoretical studies with interesting experimental designs are presented by Huneycutt, 'fA Functional Analysis of Imagined Interaction Activity in Everyday Life" by Kunzendorf and Hoyle on "Auditory Percepts, Mental Images and Hypnotic Hallucinations: Similarities and Differences in Auditory Evoked Potentials"; and by Giambia and Grodsky on "Task- Unrelated Images and Thoughts While Reading. " The relationship between creativity and mental imgery is presented by H. Rosenberg and W. Trusheim entitled, "Creative Transformations: How Visual Artists, Musicians and Dancers Use Mental Imagery in Their Work," and Colalillo-Kates discusses "Dreamjourneys: Using Guided Imagery and Transformational Fantasy With Children."
