The serenity of a small Downeast town of Salsbury Harbor is disturbed by an unusual frequency of unrelated deaths of people who knew one another. The local detective's Aunt Ina is one of those deceased and he now has a personal interest to suspect foul play even though the deceased had all suffered from a terminal illness and were expected to eventually die. In his methodical and plodding manner he initiates an investigation to discover reasons behind the unexplained number of deaths. Before the final solution he is led through the issue of euthanasia, blackmail and secrets among the very wealthy whose untimely murders he encounters. To everyone's surprise the mother and daughter of the wealthiest families in town have undertaken to fulfill the wishes of those terminally ill for a painless death. In the end, the daughter repents for her sins, turns against the mother who is jailed for life but in the end, the daughter dispenses mercy on the mother who, ironically enough suffers from ovarian cancer while in jail, the mother discovers of her terminal disease and begs her daughter for mercy who fulfills her request in the only matter she knows.

Our aim in this volume, as in Volume I, HormonaI Correlates of Behavior: A Life Span View, has been to provide a critical assess ment of the state of behavioral endocrinology as weIl as the more usual summary of extant data. Each contributor was asked to probe the strengths and weaknesses of his area as candidly as possible. As aresult, we hope the reader will find this Volume useful as a reference source and as an honest evaluation of our present know ledge of the interaction between hormones and behavior. R. L.

The Neurobiology of the Amygdala

The Proceedings of a Symposium on the Neurobiology of the Amygdala, Bar Harbor, Maine, June 6–17, 1971

By: Basil Eleftheriou

In recent years, great interest has been focused on the field of neurobiology. In the last decade, various international and regional meetings, symposia, seminars and workshops have been organized to discuss brain regions such as the hypothalamus, cerebellum, medulla, cortex and hippocampus. A number of books have been published as a consequence of these gatherings. Uniquely and singularly absent from these conclaves has been a truly interdisciplinary discussion of the amygdala. The various chapters of this book represent the formal talks presented at The Advanced Study Institute held at the Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, from June 6 to 17, 1971, with funds made available from the Scientific Affairs Committee of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the National Science Foundation. The speakers and participants are grateful to these two institutions for being given the opportunity to gather and discuss their respective works that represent years of experi mental and clinical research centering on the amygdala. It is hoped that the experiments discussed in this book will act as a major stimulus to other scientists to initiate complementary and supplementary experiments for the better understanding of the specific role of the amygdala.

Something Lethal in the Garden

By: Basil Eleftheriou

Upon retirement, Professor Dean returned to his childhood roots at Salsbury Harbor, Maine on Mt. Desert Island, Maine. His three children appeared well settled although people wondered where they had found the money for such a good living since professors don't make good salaries when active or when retired. When he died suddenly, the coroner pronounced his death from natural causes. But a young ambitious detective thought otherwise and pursued his hunches in vain until he found a young coroner trainee who gave him ideas about death due to genetic linkages. Finding courage in such medical keys, the detective discovers Professor Dean's genetic traits which enabled the killer to dispense with the good old prof without suspicion. But with the help of the coroner trainee, the detective solves the death and its cause as well as solves a crime of robbery that involved a plane crash and lots of money laundered from drug running.
