They discuss the transformative power which Nietzsche ascribes to aesthetic activity including his aesthetic justification of existence and its fusion of social and personal existence and they investigate his experiments with an 'aesthetic politics' and a politicisation of aesthetics.

Thirty separate sound sources hung from the trees in the Yard each playing the recorded voices of readers speaking in various languages. The voices told stories about place including a selection from Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino along with personal memories poems and folk tales. The work occurred each evening between dusk and darkness for a two-week period. As natural light fell white light cast horizontally from the tops of flanking buildings gradually took over from the setting sun catching the leaves of the trees. The work's magical effects were praised by the Boston Globe which listed it as the year's best art exhibition. The book consists of a series of responses to the work from the poetical to the theoretical reflecting the range of deep thought provoked by the experience of Canopy itself whether that thought was emotional or theoretical. This project evolved from an artist's residency organized and sponsored by five organizations within Harvard University: the Harvard University Art Museums the Office for the Arts at Harvard and Radcliffe the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies and the Graduate School of Design.

Walter Holbrook Gaskell 1847-1914 classical memoir on the muscle and nerves of the heart included a description of "Gaskell's nerves" the accelerator nerves of the heart. He showed that the motor impulses from the nerve ganglia in the sinus venosus influence the heart rhythm but do not originate cardiac movements which are due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart muscle. This led to the artificial production of "heart-block" the name of which Gaskell based on a expression of Georges John Romanes." Garrison & Morton No. 829 unknown

WOODWARD on one wrapper neat stamp of University College London on each front cover of the main series and either the final plate or text leaf in all other ways a very good set. Exceptionally rare in this form and precedes GARRISON-MORTON #243 The Origin of Vertebrates 1908 - 'Gaskell was probably the most brilliant of Michael Foster's pupils. His history of the origin of vertebrates from invertebrate ancestors is not universally accepted.' In his review of the Linnean Society discussion in NATURE 1910 J. GRAHAM KERR stated - 'The remarks made by Dr. Gaskell and his supporters make it apparent that there exist wide differences between what they accept as the correct principles of morphological research and those which are accepted by other working morphologists. The forgoing paragraphs are not meant as a criticism of Dr. Gaskell's hypothesis. They are merely meant to direct attention to an extraordinary want of agreement as to methods or principles of morphological research.' In part XIII Gaskell sums up his thesis - 'In a series of papers published in this Journal I have developed my theory of the origin of vertebrates and have compared step by step every organ in the arthropod with the corresponding organ in the vertebrate and shown how one after another each has fitted into its right place on the assumption that the arthropod has given rise to the vertebrate without any reversal of surfaces an assumption which necessitates the formation of a new alimentary canal for the vertebrate.' GASKELL 1847-1914 had hoped to complete his study but never did so; in part XIII he stated - 'I am aware that in the course of these papers I have promised at some time to consider separately the vascular and lymphatic systems and the external covering and I still hope to be able some day to publish something on these subjects. At present however I am engaged in putting the whole story into book form and until that is accomplished I am not likely to add to this series.' SIR ARTHUR SMITH WOODWARD FRS 23 May 1864 2 September 1944 English palaeontologist known as a world expert in fossil fish. He also described the Piltdown Man fossils which were later determined to be fraudulent. He is not related to Henry Woodward whom he replaced as curator of the Geology Department of the British Museum of Natural History. OFFPRINTS from The Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, Vols.
