Prof. Norman D. Cook

New: posted, February 9, 2007: An important recent publication by Professor Norman D. Cook (email: cook@res.kutc.kansai-u-ac.jp) tiled: "Models of the Atomic Nucleus" (2006, Springer), is, to the knowledge of the webmaster, the only textbook on models of atomic nuclei published in the past 40+ years that reviews the historical importance of the Pauling Spheron Model, ever since Pauling published in the journals Science and Nature in 1965 !
...
It is the view of the webmaster that it is significant that professor Cook, 40+ years after Pauling first published in the two most respected scientific journals (Science, Nature), does NOT conclude in his review of atomic models that the Pauling Spheron Model has been experimentally "falsified"--instead--it has been ignored !! Given the fact that Mr. Brightsen and Linus Pauling often communicated with each other (they were students under Dr. Charles Coryell--Pauling at Cal-Tech, Brightsen at MIT), and the obvious similarity of the Brightsen Nucelon Cluster Model and the Pauling Spheron Model--(how do they differ ?--in two fundamental ways (1) Pauling views the alpha as a basic spheron, whereas Brightsen views the alpha as a secondary entity formed from two [NP] clusters, and (2) only the Brightsen model includes as fundamental within all isotopes BOTH matter and antimatter nucleon clusters).
...
It is noted that Dr. Cook does not mention the Brightsen Nucleon Cluster Model in his 2006 book, the webmaster will send him an email on the topic, and will post any significant reply in "New for 2007" link.

Cook takes the argument a stage further in showing that the mysterious "non-dominant" hemisphere contains a 2-D representation of the affective charge (as exemplified by the phenomena of intonation and the appreciation of music) of the linguistic message that balances the syntactic structures in the dominant hemisphere.These developments in the theory of bi-hemispheric specialisation will be followed closely by all those with an interest in the evolution of the hominid brain."

"Norman Cook has done it again!Some fifteen years after his puzzling and controversial book on "the brain code", he presents his matured views on basic brain functioning in a brilliant writing on consciousness and how the brain might code emotions in musical terms.
