From dust jacket: A convincing reassertion of consciousness as an evolutionary triumph and the center of human genius. For centuries philosophers scientists and lay people alike have assumed consciousness to be the most distinctive feature of human nature. Despite the power of that assumption the workings of consciousness continue to elude our understanding. In recent years a number of influential scientists and philosophers have challenged the primacy of consciousness dismissing it as a superficial by-product of evolution or even an entirely irrelevant factor in human cognition. A Mind So Rare is a masterful critique of this prevailing view that seeks to explain away consciousness. Drawing on his groundbreaking theory of the origins of the modern mind Merlin Donald’s persuasive thesis presents the forces both cultural and neuronal that power our distinctively human modes of awareness. In this polemical new work Donald proposes that the human mind is a hybrid product of interweaving a supercomplex form of matter the brain with an invisible symbolic web culture to form a “distributed” cognitive network. This hybrid mind Donald suggests is our main evolutionary advantage for it allowed humanity as a species to break free of the limitations of the mammalian brain. W. W. Norton & Company, (2001).

1958réf. 144106Paris: Salons de l'Orangerie 1958. Original French invitation for the 1958 premiere of a cosmetics aid known as "le Makeur" a hand-held soft-bristled makeup brush. Addressed to M. and Mme. de la Maziere and dated Tuesday October 9 1958 in manuscript ink. Housed in the original mailing envelope addressed in manuscript ink to "Monsieur et Madame de la Maziere - Cinedis / 44 avenue de Champs-Elysees / Paris / VIIIe" with two red stamps showing the Rouen Cathedral. Christian de la Maziere 1922-2006 was a journalist and member of the Charlemagne Division of the Waffen SS and was featured in Marcel Ophuls' 1969 documentary "The Sorrow and the Pity" discussing his role in WWII. He also worked for the fascist newspaper "Le Pays Libre" earlier and in 1974 he wrote "The Captive Dreamer." His involvement at Vichy and the Waffen SS was pardoned before his career in press and film relations and he garnered brief postwar celebrity. Christian Robier b. 1936 was a designer and cosmetologist notably for L'Oreal and supplies the watercolor illustration here. The brush was not in production long nor the "Makeur" imprint but is an early example of cosmetics aids that utilize different attachments similar to electric trimmer kits today. The Salons de l'Orangiere is just as mysterious but seems to have operated as a rental hall as of 2015. 9.75 x 13 inches folded once vertically textured stock similar to watercolor paper.
