    <![CDATA[<p>Professional boxing has been illegal in Cuba since 1961, so it was no surprise that Felix Savon, Cuba's double Olympic heavyweight champion, had to turn down the $25 million purse offered by Don King to fight Mike Tyson. John Duncan wanted to make the fight happen and so he quit his then job as sports writer for the Guardian and left for Cuba.</p><p>His plan was to cut a deal with Cuban boxing authorities to make this fight happen. His account of the year spent in the maelstrom of Havana's heat and bureaucracy is intercut with often poignant portraits of some of Cuba's most famous boxers.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[This first monograph on the influential underground conceptual and sound artist features essays by Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Cosey Fanni Tutti and others. It spans from Duncan's early days making performance-based work in Los Angeles in the late 1970s to his years in Japan and Amsterdam, where he focused on experimental sound, film and radio work, and continues to the mature multimedia installations and performances he is currently making in Italy. Investigative and probing, Duncan's work has always been at the forefront of experimental culture, encompassing noise music and extreme physical experience, often rendered in surprisingly beautiful ways. Duncan's art has the ability to enthrall and terrify, and this book documents all of his most important projects, creating a critical and intimate portrait of the artist and his uncompromising work.]]>

    <![CDATA[What are the fundamental mechanisms of decision making, processing speed, memory and cognitive control? How do these give rise to individual differences, and how do they change as people age? How are these mechanisms implemented in neural unctions, in particular the functions of the frontal lobe? How do they relate to the demands of everyday, 'real life' behaviour? Over almost five decades, Pat Rabbitt has been among the most distinguished of British cognitive psychologists. His work has been widely influential in theories of mental speed, cognitive control and aging, influencing research in experimental psychology, neuropsychology and individual differences. This volume, dedicated to Pat Rabbitt, brings together a distinguished group of 16 contributors actively pursuing research in the fields of speed, memory, and control, and the application of these fields to individual differences and aging. With the latest work from senior figures in the field, and a focus on fundamental topics in both teaching and research, the book will be valuable to students and scientists in experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience.]]>

    <![CDATA[First published in 1847 and now the subject of a timely reprint, is Duncan's account of the journeyings and incredible adventures surrounding his ultimately futile quest. In it he recounts derring-do enough for several lifetimes: encounters with ferocious Amazons, wily slave-dealers, fetish priests, blood-drinkers, sword-wielding horsemen and even a monster python. He drank toasts to Queen Victoria out of goblets carved from skulls and was invited to act as executioner at a multiple decapitation. Duncan became the first European to explore a large tract of West Africa and brought back what was arguably the definitive account of the death on the Niger in 1806 of the indomitable Mungo Park. Duncan's return journey brought him close to death, as the fever dragged him down and he was almost forced to amputate his own suppurating leg.   The doggedly resilient Duncan had been close to death before in West Africa, as master-at-arms aboard HMS Albert, flagship of the ill-fated Niger steamship expedition of 1841-42.   Today John Duncan is all but forgotten, his courage and deeds consigned to an undeserved historical oblivion. The re-publication of this classic story of courage, fortitude and high adventure in uncharted lands should help to restore both the name and the reputation of this unjustly neglected Scottish hero of exploration.]]>
