Message, with new posting information, from

Jordan B. Peterson, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
Harvard University Department of Psychology

I would like to announce the internet posting of a book-length manuscript
I have recently completed, entitled

The Gods of War: An Investigation into the Intrapsychic Bases of
Motivation for Social Conflict

This book can be accessed in total in a variety of manners. It is on the
world-wide web at

http://wjh-www.harvard.edu/~jbp/godsofwar.html

and can be accessed by a web-browser wuch as Mosaic or Netscape. At the
WWW site, it can be downloaded as one file or in chapters, or read as a
WebPage.

To FTP the manuscript, follow these instructions:

ftp isr..harvard.edu
login as anonymous and use your email address as a password
cd pub
cd jbp

If you want a MS Word for Windosw v.2.0. version, type:

binary
mget *.doc

If you want plain text files, type:

mget *.txt

The book describes why human beings are prone to violent intergroup
conflict, from the perspective of individual motivation. It presents a
novel interpretation of the structure and meaning of mythology, and
relates that structure to fundamental neuropsychological processes,
manifested in cognition and emotion.

I have placed the text on the internet for experimental purposes.

Technical problems with manuscript access can be described to Paul Bergen
