Is the true human a Homo Schizo, not Homo Sapiens? Our brain is afflicted by microsecond delays that forbid instinct reactions and produce multiple egos. This fearful situation drives us into eternal searching for our self (selves) and for control of others, the natural world, all aspects of self-control. Great art and music emanate from "getting one's head together." The basic motive of scientists is to convert human conduct to instinctive stimulus and response by reducing the human Madness; scientific truth is a marvellous by-product.

The first book on the Bhopal disaster, written on site a few weeks after the accident. "The people knew right away the source of the poisonous air, although it was incredible and shocking. Thousands had fled their homes a few months before upon the occasion of a small discharge of gas and an associated rumor of disaster. Now they choked and screamed at one another to rise and flee, aiding each other when they could, the choking and gagging leading the fully blinded. Some stepped out of their huts at the first whiffs, strangling, and were too blinded to turn back in, were swept in the gathering human torrent and often never saw their families, neighbors and friends again..." “A moving account of a shattering experience.” - Arun Gandhi “Rightly, Al de Grazia highlights the important role of a Free Press. The Press has had to battle secrecy and suppression to expose the full extent of the Bhopal tragedy. Conitnuing now to assail the shocking failures of managers and officials in India and the USA, we must demand the reform of the irresponsible liaison between governments and multinational corporations.” - S. B. Kolpe

("I went down the hill and worked my way East to where any...)
"I went down the hill and worked my way East to where any survivors might show up. There emerged a few Italian civilians, women, children, older men. 'Is this all of you?' I asked. 'They are all dead,' they said, 'all dead!' 'Didn't you get our warning?' I asked a woman who appeared to be fairly composed. 'Yes, and we tried to get out...' " Drafted into the army in the wake of Pearl Harbor, Alfred de Grazia, a young political scientist at the University of Chicago, revisits a war experience which takes him from basic training to OSS and to the very first unit of psychological warfare created in the Army of the United States, through six campaigns of World War II, from North Africa to the invasion of Sicily, to the Battle of Monte Cassino, to the Liberation of Rome, to the landings in Southern France, to the defeat of Germany and to the liberation of Dachau, ending, age 25, as commanding officer of the Combat Propaganda Team of the Seventh American Army... All the while striving to stay in touch with his wife Jill Oppenheim, an enthusiastic letter-writer, who is expecting, then rearing, their first baby, while keeping him abreast the events on the home front... He meets ordinary and extraordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, learning lessons both practical or tragic. Two especially drove home: "Do what you think best, but do it." And: "Watch you don't trip on a mine."

(“Cosmic Heretics offers a stimulating first-hand account ...)
“Cosmic Heretics offers a stimulating first-hand account of the inner circle of Immanuel Velikovsky, an important point of view for anyone interested in the life of the author of Worlds in Collision.” Prof. Michael D. Gordin, Princeton University (History of Science) "Alfred de Grazia was entering his forty-fourth year when he met self-styled cosmic heretic, Immanuel Velikovsky, who was already sixty-seven, and for the next twenty years a wide band of life's spectrum was colored by their relationship. As with a love affair, all that happened in the beginning presaged what would happen later, stretched out on the scale of time, themes doubling back upon themselves, attractions and reservations never to be erased... As the winter days of 1962 became 1963 in Princeton, New Jersey, 08540 U.S.A., families and friends gathered into clusters like the last of the leaves, so that half-consciously and driven by eddies of customs and calendar, de Grazia saw more of his friends like Livio Catullus Stecchini and of his brother Sebastian. He did not know Velikovsky, and if he had been asked about him, he would have replied that he had never heard of him... This he confessed when Livio Stecchini, as they walked along Nassau Street on that cold day, brought up the matter, disjointedly, as happens with men walking down the street to no end, old friends whose thoughts needed no introduction nor conclusion... Their conversation would have gone something like this: "There is a man in Princeton with good material on the scientific establishment... Cosmogonist... They suppressed his books." "What do you mean, suppressed his books?" "They smeared him." "Like Reich? Like Semmelweis?" "Yes." "What does he do?" "He lives here. He writes." "About what?" "Mythology, astronomy, the Bible, ancient catastrophes... I can introduce you. We can go to his house. He lives on Hartley Avenue." "Down near the Lake." "To take a look at his stuff." "Maybe... What's his name?" "Velikovsky." "Never heard of him."

("Chaos and Creation: An Introduction to Quantavolution in...)
"Chaos and Creation: An Introduction to Quantavolution in Human and Natural History (1981) is a book Alfred de Grazia that describes itself as a: ".. book is designed to show that a typical scientist may hold untenable positions on five major issues: the ordering of the solar system; the genesis of God; the fashioning of the surface of the earth; the evolution of mankind; and the origins of culture. The chapters that are to come assert that all of these processes may have occurred in a short interval of time in association with a set of natural catastrophes. The world has changed by great abrupt movements. with far-ranging effects. This story, and the theory used to organize it, are here called "quantavolution" and "revolutionary primevalogy." They contrast with "evolutionary primevalogy.""
