Popular Controversies in World History: The Twentieth Century to the Present

This volume offers pro and con arguments for some of the most passionately debated issues in world history since the turn of the 20th century. Who was behind the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the event that launched World War I? Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone in the death of President John F. Kennedy? Were the fears of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq justified? These are just some of the questions and events since the year 1990 that have sparked vigorous historical debates, both in the academic world and the general public.

The time is the too-near future. Powered and enabled by the invention known as the Great Machine, the world's machines have turned on mankind and sparked social unrest, decimating the human population before being largely shut down.

What is dreaming? Why are dreams so strange and why are they so hard to remember? In this fascinating book, Harvard researcher Allan Hobson offers an intriguing look at our nightly odyssey through the illusory world of dreams.
Hobson describes how the theory of dreaming has advanced dramatically over the past fifty years, sparked by the use of EEGs in the 1950s and by recent innovations in brain imaging.
