Love at Goon Park: Harry Harlow and the Science of Affection (Science Matters)by: Deborah Blum 2004-02 |

This is about a scientist who vindicated the common-sense approach that mothers had always taken to babies, by showing that a monkey prefered a soft mother-doll to a mother-doll with milk. And also unexpectedly discovering that monkeys raised that way could not function as normal monkeys. All of this was a corrective to psychologists of the day who preferred to work wiht rats and who thought that new-born babies were better off isolated from their mothers. There's a fascinating small tale about an early monkey-baby who was given a mother-doll with no face. When later they later tried to give it a face, the baby was horrified.

Also, throughout the book the author always seems to be vaguely deriding male versus female qualities.

I enjoyed the book (a journalists history of psychical research in the late 19th century) because the principal characters (Blavatsky, Hume, Myers, William James, Hodgson, Gurney, Mrs Piper, etc) and the area written about interest me greatly.
But, the book lacks the care of presentation I hoped for (eg the footnotes and bibliography too casual). And I wasn't impressed by the writing style or book plan/layout. Frankly prose is not the greatest accomplshment of North American education, and it shows. The role of William James is overstated, perhaps because the book is written by a North American observer. I am surprised that the "cross-correspondences" (involving Myers, Gurney, Mrs Piper etc) were not explained more carefully and, ... Read More: >>More Details |
