A good copy in a very good- dust jacket with Leverich's three-line inscription in black felt tip ink on the title page: "To S--- M------- | best wishes | Lyle Leverich." Highly regarded biography of Tennessee Williams, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the first for "A Streetcar Named Desire" in 1948 and for "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" in 1955. The first of two planned volumes, TOM; THE UNKNOWN TENNESSEE WILLIAMS won the George Freedley Award as the best theater book published in 1995. Leverich examines the first 34 years of the playwright's life and focuses heavily upon the emotional and familial sources which contributed to Williams's literary creativity. Leverich concludes his biography in 1945 with the Broadway premier of "The Glass Menagerie." Leverich intended to write a second volume titled "Tenn: The Timeless World of Tennessee Williams" in which he would review the remainder of Williams's life through his death in 1983. However, Leverich died in December 1999 before completing the manuscript.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the question of whether inverted vision can normalize through practice, as some previous experiments have suggested. The author embarked on an extended experiment involving continuous wear of inverting lenses to test this hypothesis. The author's detailed account provides insights into the complex visual adaptations that occur, highlighting the ongoing debate between organismic and traditional theories of learning. The author's experiences initially mirror those of past experiments: objects appear upside down and movements feel awkward. However, the author finds that these perceptual distortions persist even after prolonged use of the lenses, challenging the notion that inverted vision can become normal. The book offers a rich examination of the intricate interplay between visual perception and motor control, contributing to our understanding of sensory-motor integration and the limits of human perceptual adaptation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
