As perceptive and assured in discussing the art of the advertisement and the limericks of Edward Lear as he is in expounding on the \"gorgeous spiritual measles\" of the European Renaissance, Huxley also writes with genuine warmth and charm about the pleasures of everyday life--about the satisfactions to be derived from a properly bound book or the maddening euphony of a dripping tap. This is an indispensable collection from an underrated master of the essay form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAldous Huxley (1894-1963) was a philosopher who wrought influentially on subjects including comparative religion (in \u003ci\u003eThe Perennial Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e) and psychedelic drugs (in \u003ci\u003eThe Doors of Perception\u003c\/i\u003e).
