Strange and fascinating works.”\u003cbr\u003e—Douglas Coupland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Books 1 and 2 of The Human Equation series, mime Wayne Constantineau and scholar Eric McLuhan explore the four postures and the four modes of action. They show how the postures (standing, lying down, kneeling, sitting) combine with the modes of action (isometric pressure, displacement, configuration, articulation) to provide the basis of all developments in culture, science, activity, and media. Now, in Book 3 of the series, they investigate the interplay between these modes and the modes of perception. “Know yourself” becomes a journey that Socrates — and perhaps even the Delphic Oracle —never could have imagined: a sense-opening odyssey into the pathological and physiological effects of the media — or extensions — of humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe late \u003cb\u003eWayne Constantineau\u003c\/b\u003e was a mime and scholar who left behind him, at his death in 2006, his studies on mime and the insights of Marshall McLuhan. \u003cb\u003eEric McLuhan\u003c\/b\u003e, who is bringing these studies to fruition in The Human Equation Toolkit, is also the author of \u003ci\u003eLaws of Media\u003c\/i\u003e (written with Marshall McLuhan), \u003ci\u003eElectric Language\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Role of Thunder in Finnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e.
