Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, was founded in 1352 by the
religious Guilds of Corpus Christi and the Blessed Virgin Mary,
making it the only college in Oxford or Cambridge to be established
by the town's citizens. Robert Masters (1713 1798), a fellow of
Corpus and member of the Society of Antiquaries, published this
history in 1753. Divided into two parts, the work gives a full
account of the college's establishment. The first section explains
the role of the guilds and lists the college's early benefactors
and college masters from the foundation to Masters' own day. The
second section, organised alphabetically, focuses on the most
distinguished members of the college, with brief descriptions of
them. This comprehensive and illustrated account of the college's
foundation and development to the eighteenth century will appeal to
anyone interested in the history of Cambridge University and its
colleges.
One of the most important books written on the effects of LSD on
the human psyche.
- Its authoritative research has great relevance to the current
debate on drug legalization.
- Prolific authors Robert Masters and Jean Houston are pioneer
figures in the field of transpersonal psychology and founders of
the Human Potentials Movement.
"The Varieties of Psychedelic Experience" was published in 1966,
just as the first legal restrictions on the use of psychedelic
substances were being enacted. Unfortunately, the authors'
pioneering work on the effects of LSD on the human psyche, which
was viewed by its participants as possibly heralding a revolution
in the study of the mind, was among the casualties of this
interdiction. As a result, the promising results to which their
studies attested were never fully explored. Nevertheless, their 15
years of research represents a sober and authoritative appraisal of
what remains one of the most controversial developments in the
study of the human psyche. Avoiding the wild excesses taken by both
sides on this issue, this book is unique for the light it sheds on
the possibilities and the limitations of psychedelic drugs, as well
as on the techniques for working with them. With drug legalization
an increasingly important issue, "The Varieties of Psychedelic
Experience" provides a welcome and much needed contrast to the
current hysteria that surrounds this topic.
