My Library

Both of these vital areas are, after all, entirely entwined with the parameters, vicissitudes and problems of PERCEPTIONS. In this sense, I needed to achieve a relatively good reading background in sociology itself and set about doing so. Sociology, in its purest context, involves every aspect of the circumstances which everyone finds themselves sucked into -- in some form or another. And whether one's perceptions are open or closed regarding this is an entirely relevant matter. I never planned to do anything with the sometimes wobbly results of my excursions into sociology -- save, perhaps, to one day write a book about the sociologies of open and closed perceptions. I considered the whole of this an interesting avocation only. However, I had accumulated enough information in this regard to recognize, when in 1971 I began meeting up with: ● The sociologies of psychical and parapsychological researchers ● The sociologies of various scientific disciplines ● The sociologies of skeptics ● The sociologies of Silicon Valley ● The sociologies of government-funded research companies ● The sociologies of the American and Soviet intelligence communities; and, as well ● Some of the many sociologies of the international community world-wide.
