At an early date Harvey recognized the educational possibilities of television. His three half-hour series — “Psychology on TV” “Child Psychology on TV” and “The Nature of Human Nature” — received wide acclaim. He developed the “Sum and Substance” series of 26 half-hour television programs for CBS. Each show consisted of in-depth interviews with figures such as Margaret Mead Aldous Huxley Paul Tillich Upton Sinclair and Gregor Piatigorsky.

Slim octavo 23cm; white wrappers printed in black stapled; 40pp. Gentle sunning along spine-fold and upper edge of front wrapper with a faint tiny scuff beneath Leary's name else a fresh Near Fine copy. An offprint revised of the first book appearance of this talk - the first and only occasion Huxley and Leary lectured together. "The XIV International Conference of Applied Psychology took place in Copenhagen Aug. 13-19 1961. In addition to Leary Frank Barron of the Harvard psychology department and author Aldous Huxley were also invited to speak.Huxley's lecture was entitled "Visionary Experience"; it was delivered earlier than Leary's and concludes with a reference to Leary's upcoming lecture "We shall hear from Dr. Leary about the induction of such experiences by such substances as psilocybin". Barron's talk contains the first reference in print to his "commending the mushroom to the attention of Dr. Leary who immediately seized upon its possibilities as a vehicle for inducing change in behavior as a result of the altered state of consciousness which the drug produced" HOROWITZ WALLS & SMITH AA23D. Huxley who had written extensively about his psychedelic experiences under the influence of mescaline in Doors of Perception 1954 here writes about the pursuit of the visionary experience as a vehicle for change and a more beautiful reality. He elaborates on the various methods of access to the visionary world including spontaneous induced and chemical access with separate sections on the usage of mushrooms and how light can enhance the visionary experience. This and the first separate printing are substantially expanded from the two which precede them both produced by mimeograph and issued in small numbers. BROMER B113. Munksgaard unknown

194043704London: George Allen and Unwin Ltd 1940. First Edition. Octavo 24cm.; publisher's cloth in cream dust jacket printed in green; 475pp.; photographic portrait frontispiece. Light chipping to jacket extremities shallow tear at bottom of pp. 9/10 not approaching text else a Very Good or better copy in the scarce jacket. Posthumously published and unfinished sequel to the author's "Sex and Culture" 1934. The later text attempts to answer the question as put by Huxley in his introduction "What are the conditions which must be fulfilled if a society is to go on displaying maximum energy for an indefinite period" p. 17. Thus does Unwin describe a Utopia in which sex is made available by two forms of marriage monogamous and polygamous which citizens can choose and change at will. This way: "The rulers of the world are made free by this structure to focus on the maintenance of a sustainable state" www.sf-encyclopedia.com. Ultimately however Unwin argues that the most advanced societies are those that strictly adhere to monogamy sexual freedom depleting the civilization's energy. BROMER B.59.1.
