Il punto di partenza per questo libro e stato l'esperienza dell'autore che nelle vendite molte cose accadono in modo arbitrario e casuale. Alla ricerca di un modello d'ordine comprovato ha scoperto la Regola benedettina, e ha trasferito i contenuti di questa regola alle vendite.

A discussion of English and Polish gender systems, generic words, forms of address, referring expressions and other topics, provides evidence that in these two languages males and females are not treated equally. The main concern of this book is linguistic sexism.

For the first time, autobiographical notes of an African on his own psychosis are presented in print. Mr. Tanka's experiences are related to problems of his environment, characterized by cultural change. Information on his tribe, the Menka, and psychiatric comments provide the necessary background for the notes. The course of Mr. Tanka's illness, followed for twelve years, illustrates results of the International Pilot Study on Schizophrenia (IPSS) of the WHO that schizophrenia in patients from traditional cultures often has a favourable prognosis.
