Biography: general
Paperback. Short and oddly built, with a head too big for his body, extremely short-sighted, dressed in colourful clothes, Wilkie Collins looked distinctly strange. But he was none the less a charmer, befriended by the great, loved by children, irresistibly attractive to women - and avidly read by generations of readers. This title tells his story. Num Pages: 208 pages, Illustrations, ports. BIC Classification: BGL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 199 x 131 x 14. Weight in Grams: 170.

Hardback. Wilhelm Reich's experiments in the 1930s with cutting-edge light microscopy and time-lapse micro-cinematography were considered discredited, but not because of shoddy lab technique, as has been claimed. Scientific opposition to Reich's experiments, James Strick argues, grew out of resistance to his unorthodox sexual theories and Marxist leanings. Num Pages: 467 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: BGT; PS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 167 x 244 x 38. Weight in Grams: 818.
