Psychologist and philosopher William James writes under the influence of laughing gas, as reported in his essay on the subjective effects of nitrous oxide.

Saw your book in a bookstore (MPH). Thought it was great. I'm working on a similar project, albeit one that's of a slightly broader scope - i.e. my book's less organised. Just got back from college in the US. I live in Malaysia. See the introduction to my boko at this url.
