539 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.

195025986Milwaukee WI: Tee-Pee-Gee Company n.d. but ca.1950. Board game consisting of one 1 game board 21.5" x 22" set of two 2 red acrylic dice 41 round and square painted wood pieces in black white green red yellow blue and brown one black piece replaced 17 game cards 2.25" x 3.75" printed on rectos only and original instruction manual 6" x 4". Dice game pieces and cards housed in the original manufacturers two-piece box. Game board is hinged with linen lightly worn at extremities with some occasional board exposure; instruction manual is browned overall folded in half with some splitting along spine fold and holographic notes to front and rear wrappers. Box for entire game not present though it is unclear whether or not one was issued. Presumed complete. "The fascination of this game lies in the variety of ways chances and combinations in which it can be played. For instance - a player may decide to play all the men on the straight and narrow path to freedom by being pardoned or take a shorter but more risky method as a fugitive. The trials of fate and temptation may enter at any time and upset all plans. This novel game which may be played by two to six players illustrates the separation of prisoners from the outside world and their discipline and reformation. It is a game of chance and skill and the possibility of your opponents' chance to win depends upon where and how you make your moves. It will hold you spellbound from beginning to end" - opening statement from instruction booklet.<br/><br/>A prison-themed board game with a phantom manufacturer; our research has failed to reveal much information about either one though in theory and objective it bears remarkable similarities to the much later ca.1990's board game The Slammer produced by Ruppert Games. Tee-Pee-Gee can be played by up to six players and while it appears fairly easy at first glance the dynamics are quite complicated with game pieces representing inmates messengers guards and visitors. The possibility for numerous moves exists dictated by the roll of the dice cards chosen and each players respective positioning on the board. Prisoners can be released or can choose to escape with or without the help of visitors. The winner of the game is the player with all their prisoners outside the walls either as "pardoned" or "fugitives" and their visitors "in good standing" with the prison officials.

[4]-XV-543 pages, 10 planches en lithographie Cartonnage moderne à la bradel, couvertures imprimées conservées 1853, 1853, in-4, [4]-XV-543 pages, 10 planches en lithographie, Cartonnage moderne à la bradel, couvertures imprimées conservées, Édition originale rare de cet ouvrage du docteur Almire Lepelletier (1790-1880), paru avant le célèbre Système pénitentiaire complet (1857). Il a été publié sous deux titres différents : sous celui-ci et sous Voyage en Bretagne, illustré de vues prises sur les lieux : avec (...) une histoire générale des bagnes et l'iconographie des principaux types de forçats étudiés à la chiourme de Brest. L'auteur offre ici, outre quelques considérations sur la Bretagne, un historique très complet sur l'histoire de bagnes, des réflexions sur le bagne idéal, ainsi que la description étonnante de 4 types de forçats, accompagnée de 4 portraits-types : La première catégorie "referme ces natures fortes, puissantes et riches, auxquelles une bonne direction seule a manqué pour effectuer des actions utiles, grandes, admirables" ; ce sont des hommes "à la physionomie martiale, au regard fier et dédaigneux", pour lesquels l'auteur éprouve des "regrets profonds, en voyant la nature humaine abandonnée" ; leur archétype est Pierre Cognard, le prétendu Pontis, comte de Sainte-Hélène. Le deuxième type correspond à des "natures souples, chatoyantes, suivant presque toujours, sans résistance et sans opposition, les impulsions qui leur sont imprimées vers le mal comme vers le bien". Ils rappellent "tantôt l'aspect de la fouine, du renard, tantôt celui du chat domestique" ; ce sont les incendiaires, les escrocs, les voleurs ; ce serait le type criminel d'Anthelme Collet. Le troisième type "nous offre ces natures profondément perverses qui semblent engendrées par l'enfer lui-même", commet des crimes "plutôt par goût (...) que par nécessité". Le quatrième type, enfin, "appartient aux natures grossières et stupides qui commettent le crime presque sans discernement et conscience, comme la hyène et le chacal se livrent à leurs instincts meurtriers par l'amour du sang et du carnage". Almire Lepelletier (1790-1880), membre de l'Académie de médecine, partageait, avec d'autres confrères du monde des sciences et des lettres du milieu du XIXe siècle, la foi scientiste qui consistait à distinguer des "types humains" dans une même société d'individus, théorie à laquelle il consacrera un Traité de physiognomonie en 1864. Dans le Système pénitentiaire complet, il donne en tout huit "types pénitentiaires". Réformateurs, néanmoins, il s'éleva contre les mutilations légales. Bon exemplaire, en dépit de petites rousseurs au titre et d'une fine galerie intérieure, avec très légère atteinte au texte
