Memoirs of the Life and Doctrines of the Late John Hunter, Esq. by Joseph Adams Pdf
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Doctrines of the Late John Hunter, Esq.: Founder of the Hunterian Museum, at the Royal College of Surgeons in London France first led the way to that seductive mode of writing, under the title of Memoirs, which bring us, as it were, into company with the illustrious dead. But with what does she, for the most part, present us, excepting the dull intrigues of a court, or the more disgusting intrigues of its purlieus? We cannot, indeed, say that we have no better model, when we reflect on the Memorabilia of Zenophon, the moral precepts in which add as much to the interest as to the intrinsic merit of the work. To render the history of any life interesting, we expect, besides the most scrupulous attention to truth, certain qualities in the writer; viz. a style flowing and suited to the subject; a sufficient knowledge of the character described, with a lively interest for his posthumous fame. It is hoped, that mediocrity in the first may be compensated by an undisputed portion of the latter, as it is scarcely possible to hear an incident or a character described, without, in some measure, participating in the feelings of the narrator.

From the author of How We Die, the extraordinary story of the development of modern medicine, told through the lives of the physician-scientists who paved the way. How does medical science advance? Popular historians would have us believe that a few heroic individuals, possessing superhuman talents, lead an unselfish quest to better the human condition. But as renowned Yale surgeon and medical historian Sherwin B. Nuland shows in this brilliant collection of linked life portraits, the theory bears little resemblance to the truth. Through the centuries, the men and women who have shaped the world of medicine have been not only very human, but also very much the products of their own times and places. Presenting compelling studies of great medical innovators and pioneers, Doctors gives us a fascinating history of modern medicine. Ranging from the legendary Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, to Andreas Vesalius, whose Renaissance masterwork on anatomy offered invaluable new insight into the human body, to Helen Taussig, founder of pediatric cardiology and co-inventor of the original "blue baby" operation, here is a volume filled with the spirit of ideas and the thrill of discovery.
Stuffed Animals and Pickled Heads by Stephen T. Asma Pdf
The natural history museum is a place where the line between "high" and "low" culture effectively vanishes--where our awe of nature, our taste for the bizarre, and our thirst for knowledge all blend happily together. But as Stephen Asma shows in Stuffed Animals and Pickled Heads, there is more going on in these great institutions than just smart fun. Asma takes us on a wide-ranging tour of natural history museums in New York and Chicago, London and Paris, interviewing curators, scientists, and exhibit designers, and providing a wealth of fascinating observations. We learn how the first museums were little more than high-toned side shows, with such garish exhibits as the pickled head of Peter the Great's lover. In contrast, today's museums are hot-beds of serious science, funding major research in such fields as anthropology and archaeology. "Rich in detail, lucid explanation, telling anecdotes, and fascinating characters.... Asma has rendered a fascinating and credible account of how natural history museums are conceived and presented. It's the kind of book that will not only engage a wide and diverse readership, but it should, best of all, send them flocking to see how we look at nature and ourselves in those fabulous legacies of the curiosity cabinet."--The Boston Herald.
