First editions, rare, of these works by the Intendant des Ponts et Chaussées very active while leading this department and instrumental in the realization of numerous bridges, canals and roads. The present works give a detailed overview of the various works in waiting with regards to the infrastructure of France in the early days of the Revolution: deals in detail with the canals in Bourgogne, Dôle, Picardie, the harbours of Dunkerque, Tréport, Dieppe, Le Havre, Rouen, Honfleur, Cherbourg, La Rochelle and many others. Deals furthermore with the department itself and its staff and possible reforms that should be implemented. The "Supplément" is the answer by the author to objections raised by a deputy from the North of France with regards to the works to be undertaken in the harbour of Dunkerque, and the third work is the author's reply to criticism from Gautier de Biauzat. The author is also critical of the "corvée" and the various abuses. Rare, espaecially with the supplementary texts.
1978539 pages including index and notes. Ten thousand pages of formerly top secret U.S. Army and C.I.A. documents prove that for twenty-five years United States government agencies undertook the most extensive mind-manipulation program in the history of the world. Every conceivable method for molding the mind was explored and refined, many of them tested on unwitting American citizens. Psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, prison officials, scientists, lawyers and politicians have, for decades, been involved in mind-control research in hospitals, laboritories, universities, mental institutions, medical offices, prisons and schools. Dramatically portrays how originally harmless medical research can become wedded to politics to create the most powerful and formidable weapons a government might use on its own citizens. Treats in detail the methods of: "brainwashing"; drugs; lobotomy; psychosurgery; castration; behavior modification; aversion therapy; electroconvulsive shock treatment; direct brain stimulation; and many more. Thoroughly documented. Authors possess extensive academic credentials. Book clean and unmarked with very light wear. Possibly unread. Light foxing to each edge of textblock.
