Product Description
Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) is widely thought of as the founder of modern neuroscience; and his work is more frequently cited than that of any other scientist in the field. In this seminal book, Cajal summarized for a broad audience the modem cellular view of brain organization. This clear, direct, and accurate translation provides an excellent introduction to Cajal's work, making accessible for the first time the ideas that led Cajal to favor the neuron doctrine that revolutionized neuroscience and won for him (with his rival, Camillo Golgi) the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1906.New Ideas on the Structure of the Nervous System in Man and Vertebrates presents the histological evidence for the laws governing the form and connections of nerve cells. This work and the principles that emerged from it formed the cornerstone for our current understanding of how the nervous system is organized. The book also presents in simplified form the ideas contained in Cajal's famous survey of vertebrate neurohistology, Histologie du Systeme Nerveux de l'Homme et des Vertébrés, unquestionably the most important book ever published in neuroanatomy, and which to this day has not been translated and published in English because of its extraordinary length.Neely Swanson is a scholar of romance languages. Larry W. Swanson is Senior Member of the Salk Institute, Adjunct Professor in the Department of Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego, and Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. ...

Product Description
Fearing they would compromise his scientific career, neurobiologist Ramon y Cajal waited almost twenty years to publish these stories: five ingenious tales that take a microscopic look at the nature, allure, and danger of scientific curiosity. Now available for the first time in an English paperback edition, Cajal's stories reveal a great deal about the collusion of human ambition and greed that prey on the hapless, whether in the name of science, religion, or the state. Laura Otis, whose dual background in literature and science echoes that of the author, has written a substantial introduction that describes Cajal as a scientist and an artist. She has also crafted a sparkling translation that captures the wit and imagination of the original. ... Read more

Product Description
Visualization has always involved a partnership between science and art. A wonderful example is the work of Santiago Ramon y Cajal in the late nineteenth century. Ramon y Cajal, a doctor who trained as an artist, used a new staining technique to examine brain tissue. He created a series of drawings that are so clear and precise they are still used today in introductory neuroscience courses. And at the time, they led him to argue that the brain was made of discrete neurons, a discovery that won him the Nobel Prize in 1906 (Form: From data to pictures to insight by Martin Wattenberg). This book is the catalogue of an exhibition of the marvellous drawings of this histologist and physician. ... Read more

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1 May 1852 - 17 October 1934) was a Spanish histologist, psychologist, and Nobel laureate. His pioneering investigations of the microscopic structure of the brain were original: he was considered by many to be the greatest neuroscientist of all time. He was skilled at drawing, and hundreds of his illustrations of brain cells are still used for educational purposes today. The son of physician and anatomy lecturer Justo Ramón and Antonia Cajal, Ramón y Cajal was born of Aragonese parents in Petilla de Aragón in Navarre, Spain. As a child he was transferred between many different schools because of his poor behavior and anti-authoritarian attitude. An extreme example of his precociousness and rebelliousness is his imprisonment at the age of eleven for destroying the town gate with a homemade cannon. He was an avid painter, artist, and gymnast. He worked for a time as a shoemaker and barber, and was well known for his pugnacious attitude. Ramón y Cajal attended the medical school of Saragossa, Aragon, from which he graduated in 1873. After a competitive examination, he served as a medical officer in the Spanish Army. He took part in an expedition to Cuba in 1874-75, where he contracted malaria and tuberculosis. After returning to Spain he married Silveria Fañanás García in 1879, with whom he had four daughters and three sons. He was appointed as a professor of the Universidad de Valencia in 1881, and in 1883 he received his Doctor of Medicine degree in Madrid. He later held professorships in both Barcelona and Madrid. He was Director of the Zaragoza Museum (1879), Director of the National Institute of ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
