Description: "This book gives new illumination to many facets of life-- from human sexuality to the appeal of false messiahs, from stage fright among even the most accomplished performers to suicide among successful writers, from enjoyment of opera to "morally" justifying murderous deeds. It does all of these, and much more, by clarifying four dimensions of social space in which we humans exist"--From jkt.
