Philosopher, Afro-futurist, and jazz legend Sun Ra (1914-93) constructed much of his complicated public persona during his sojourn in Chicago in the mid-1950s. This work presents the story of Sun Ra's mystical journey of discovery and his lofty goals for the dissemination of his new knowledge.

Sun Ra - self-proclaimed visionary extraterrestrial of the "Angel Race," prophetic jazz band leader and composer, and lyrical proponent of Afro-futurism - was one of the influential figures of twentieth-century music. This title confronts the visual manifestation of Sun Ra's philosophy.

The quintessential examination of women, gynaecology is not simply the study of women's bodies, but also serves to define them. This book considers the public exposure of female 'privates' in the performance of the pelvic examination. It focuses on the ways in which women and their bodies have been treated by the medical establishment.

Offering history of hysteria, and based on medical writings and images, this volume is so designed that each letter introduces an episode from the annals of medical lore. It tracks down female malady, disproving the theory that time heals all wombs.
