Excerpt from Theoretical and Practical Treatise on Astigmatism The addition of one more medical book - even though it be a small one - to the scores that are annually issued from the press, carries with it a demand, on the part of the reading public, for its raison d'etre. The cause of the existence of this little work has its foundation in my own needs as developed in my studies of refractive anomalies, and in my conception of the needs of others as manifested to me during the last eight years as a teacher of general and special students and general practitioners. An examination into the statistics of eye-affections shows that the various anomalies of refraction form about one-third of the whole number of eye cases presenting themselves for treatment in private practice, and of these two-thirds, or about 20% of the whole, suffer from astigmatism in an appreciable degree. No one, then, I think, will deny to astigmatism the worth of a treatise special to itself, particularly when there is taken into consideration the great difficulty encountered in clearing away the perplexities, uncertainties and paradoxical manifestations which enshroud many cases of the anomaly, and which are the despair of the beginner in refraction studies. And, while fully aware that Time and Patience are two most important and indispensible factors in unraveling the tangled threads of evidence, it cannot be doubted that nowhere in the whole range of medical practice, is accurate knowledge, based on positive science, of such avail as in the diagnosis of astigmatism. To lead to such accurate knowledge through the paths of positive science has been the chief incentive to my labor.

Excerpt from Short Sight, Long Sight and Astigmatism: An Elementary Guide to the Refraction of the Eye The object of this book is to place before Students and Practitioners an elementary treatise on the errors of refraction of the eye, and to endeavour to explain in simple language their nature and the means whereby they may be satisfactorily corrected. It is thus intended to serve as an introduction to the more advanced manuals on the same subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

The life of Jan Evangelista Purkinje (1787-1869) has fascinated students from many disciplines. Histologists marvel at his early descriptions of cells; physiologists admire his attempts to relate structure to function; pharmacologists view in awe his heroic experiments on self-administered drugs; forensic scientists acknowledge his role in the use of fingerprints for identification; and Czech patriots salute his awakening of pride in their nation. Yet all these achievements followed his initial enquiries into vision. It is this psychological dimension that fostered this collaboration. As the title suggests, the present volume is bifocal. In the narrow sense it refers to Purkinje's studies of vision, but in its broader view it concerns Purkinje's anticipation of neuroscience. Purkinje provided evidence to support both its cellular and its conceptual base. At the cellular level his acute vision is immortalized within our bodies. At the conceptual level, he sought to relate subjective phenomena to their objective underpinnings--to link psychology to physiology. Vision provides a bond that unites psychology and physiology, and it is this bond that was strengthened by Purkinje's enquiries. The authors have tried to provide a context in which Purkinje's descriptions of visual phenomena can be placed. In some cases this exposes clear precursors of research for which Purkinje has been credited. In others, there was nothing to suggest the phenomena that he exposed. The book translates Purkinje's initial masterpiece on subjective vision and places it in the context of emerging views of neuroscience.

According to Roger Caillois, play is an occasion of pure waste. In spite of this - or because of it - play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual development. In this study, the author defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from the rest of life.
