	Controversial book on rape theory will be published early - 2/8/00
		Thornhill and Palmer argue that rape has evolutionary origins as a successful male strategy for reproduction, a concept that is directly contrary to current social wisdom that rape is a crime of male violence and domination of women.
		Thornhill reiterated that the aim of the book is to generate a public debate on rape that might lead to new understanding of its sexual basis and ultimately new approaches to combating it, including revised sex education messages to young men and women.
		Disturbed by critics who says he and Palmer are using a controversial theory to become famous and rich, Thornhill says he has been doing the rape research for more than 20 years and his work has been heavily cited by other researchers.

	Publisher recalling controversial Bush book - October 22, 1999
		NEW YORK -- A book publisher announced Friday that it is recalling a controversial new book about Republican presidential candidate Texas Gov. George W. Bush after questions were raised about the author's credibility.

		Among Hatfield's previous books are an "X-Files" TV show reference guide (Kensington), a "Lost in Space" TV show trivia book (Pinnacle), a biography of "Star Wars: Phantom Menace" star Ewan McGregor (Penguin), and a biography of "Star Trek: Next Generation" star Patrick Stewart (Pinnacle).

	Thomas Kuhn
		His account of the development of science held that science enjoys periods of stable growth punctuated by revisionary revolutions, to which he added the controversial ‘incommensurability thesis’, that theories from differing periods suffer from certain deep kinds of failure of comparability.
		The opening sentence of the book reads: “History, if viewed as a repository for more than anecdote or chronology, could produce a decisive transformation in the image on science by which we are now possessed” (1962/1970, 1).
		The claim that the consensus of a disciplinary matrix is primarily agreement on paradigms-as-exemplars is intended to explain the nature of normal science and the process of crisis, revolution, and renewal of normal science.

		That the book, which created a stir in the 1970s when it was first published in Hindi, is still ''as infamous as it is famous'' was evident from the strong opinions voiced at a panel discussion organised last week on the occasion of the launch.
		Praising Osho's treatment of the matter in the book, Mr Kapoor said ignorance of sexual bliss prevented people from reaching a ''higher state'' of existence which they all had the potential to reach and lamented that sex education dealt only with its physiological aspects, not the spiritual.
		Approaching the book from a different perspective, psychotherapist and director of the organisation 'Sarthak', Dr Achal Bhagat, said it presented a very simplified and singular view of the issues it dealt with when actually life was not so simple.
