A single-volume edition of one of Cowards masterpieces; published to tie in with major Donmar Warehouse production in December 2002In The Vortex; Coward explores the darker side of the Cocktail Party set. Emotional blackmail; drug abuse and shattered relationships are minutely observed in this disturbing; early piece from a playwright whose sharp eye was more usually turned towards the light.This first ever single-volume edition of this frequently revived Coward play ties in with the major revival directed by Michael Grandage; starring Francesca Annis and Chiwetel Ejiofor and Indira Varma at Londons Donmar Warehouse."Here is a piece which is the dernier cri in the theatrical mode; un peu shocking perhaps; but no less popular on that account" James Agate

Neural Basis of Human Hearing: Noise PsychophysicsBy Joseph J GrenierNeurally Based Measurement in Human VolunteersSpringer Tokyo Japan Berlin HeidelbergRe: Joseph Grenier MD PhDThis is a remarkable book concerning the EEG; EVP; and Psychophysics of human hearing and the human volunteer of psychophysics in the auditory system in general. The computational and mathematical modeling of loudness; pitch; frequency neuroprocessing of externally induced noise is derived in many ways. Detailed EEG montages of the neural pathways responsible for human perception is explained including: ; ears; auditory canal; cochlea; auditory cranial nerve; inferior colliculus; lateral lemniscus; medial geniculate nucleus; and auditory cortex. There are spatiotemporal modeling of EVPs with physiological and supraphysiological thresholds explored. The book has outstanding line drawings; graphs; charts; and trends depicting the nature of noise measurements and processing of the central nervous system physiology including BAEPs; and cortical excitability.This is a great book about noise physiology and auditory psychophysics for students; research fellows; researchers; audiologists; and experimental sensory physiologists. Illustrations and graphs are from front to back numbering in the 100s. This is a good desk reference for audition researchers.
