First date [year] is the year I read the book, or discovered it. "Locations" are generally Univ. Of Michigan library system holdings, though some sit on the shelves of other universities with online catalogs. Bibliographic data simply cut ’n’ pasted from online library data (start at www.lib.umich.edu and look for the MIRLYN online catalogue link below; use Guest login.) Library of Congress (LC) #’s and/or Dewey Decimal #’s from source library, usually consistent throughout the U.S. My notes follow in brackets [ ].
Arrangement of titles is, on this date, 18. Oct. 1998., random; I simply haven’t invested the energy into chronologizing them. I’ll get to sorting sooner or later. For now the list contains my notes for the work-in-progress I variously call an essay, a book, a thesis, or simply an extended thought. Hence my copyright notice. Other complete pages (yet to be created) contain somewhat more coherent thought, coming soon (I hope.) Presented at no cost to you, but at cost to me, so please click through on banners to help me pay for this silly project.
As time and energy allow I will acquire some skill in hyperlinking & present a header list of authors with links to the reference and my comment. Someday I may even add a graphic or write a bit of music for audio!

Comment: I was referred to this by a writer’s magazine article listing "hot topics" that book publishers currently want. Damasio was an example of "mind/body integration" as a subject of interest to publishers. He argues in favor of the body AS mind. This fit very neatly into my thinking at the time that I read him. I’ve been meaning to get back to him, but the workaday world (holding my job) interefered with developing the thought. His credentials are medical, so he's not presenting sophmoric speculation. Links take you to the bookstore.
