    Walter Goldschmidt.
    Summary: In "The Human Career", Walter Goldschmidt presents a challenge to conventional views of human social behaviour. He argues that change rather than equilibrium is the natural condition of society, that humans must be seen as motivated actors rather than as passive recipients of cultural roles and that emotions, rather than intellect, are the crucial element in the formulation of culture. These three elements, combined with established theory form a dynamic model of human sociality. Tool-using hominids existed for three million years before they gave evidence that they had surrounded themselves with a cultural universe. To turn this corner they had not only to share understanding of the world but also to share their imagination and their sentiments. The former they did with language, the latter with ritual to which they harnessed the arts. Henceforward humanity has had to dwell in a dual universe - the physical reality and the symbolic world of its own creation. Nielsen 9781557860552 20160527

    In three centres, 222 patients (Birmingham 70, London 87 and Rotterdam 65 patients) with chronic duodenal ulcer were treated by proximal gastrict vagotomy (PGV) (116 patients) or truncal vagotomy and antrectomy (TVA) (106 patients) in a prospective randomized trial. After 1 year 5 recurrent duodenal ulcers (4.3 per cent) have been recorded in the PGV group, compared with 1 (1 per cent) in the TVA group. The reoperation rate was high in both groups-6 after PGV, usually for recurrent ulcer, and 7 after TVA, mostly for gastric retention. PGV showed a marked superiority in the number of patients with a good clinical result Visick I or II) at 1 year after operation, i.e. 82 per cent compared with 56 per cent for TVA.
