Brute Machine by JONATHAN MILLER
How do we move our limbs? What happens when we pick up a glass of brimming water? Jonathan Miller traces our understanding of the nervous system. Using guns, toys, explosives, electronics, music and important experiments from the past, he reveals a human ' wiring diagram' of enormous complexity and a brain capable of delegating whole areas of nervous activity to the spinal cord on its own. For example. Dudley Moore finds to his astonishment that his piano playing is not as consciously controlled as he originally thought it was.

Aloe: a genus of plant indigenous to South Africa, noted for its ability to survive under the most adverse conditions.
Athol Fugard is the author of such celebrated plays as The Blood Knot, The Island, and Sizwe Bansi is Dead.
He is known throughout the world for his opposition to Apartheid, and, more importantly, for his determination to express these views through the theatre and within South Africa.
Last month his latest play, A Lesson from Aloes, opened in Johannesburg. It was both written and directed by Fugard and Arena was there from the first day of rehearsals until the opening night. The film offers a unique insight into the evolution of a play and the remarkable tenacity of its author.
