Product Description
The life of Camillo Golgi was an extraordinary intellectual adventure in three major fields of biology and medicine, namely neuroscience, emerging cell biology, and the new science of medical microbiology.

in 1873, Golgi published the description of a revolutionary histological technique which allowed one, for the first time, to visualize a single nerve cell with all its ramifications, and which could be followed and analyzedeven at a great distance from the cell bodies. The so-called "black reaction" (later named the "Golgi method") provided the spark to a truly scientific revolution which allowed the morphology and the basic architecture of the cerebral tissue to be evidenced in all its complexity, thus contributing to the foundation of modern neuroscience. It has been written that, in the same way Galileo Galilei was able to find new stars observing any sky region with his telescope. Golgi was able to find new nervous structures and nerve cells by applying his black reaction to any brain region. Finally, the details of the most complex structure in the known universe, the brain, could be characterized.

Golgi's black reaction is just one of his many successes and contributions to society. As this book illustrates, he has also strongly contributed to the development of cell biology with the "internal reticular apparatus" (later called the "Golgi apparatus") and to medical microbiology with his studies on malaria. Engrossing and authoritative, Golgi: A Biography of the Founder of Modern Neuroscience, is a detailed account of one of the most prominent European researchers of his time. ... Read more

He shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Karl Ferdinand Braun, "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy" and was ennobled in 1924 as Marchese Marconi. Guglielmo Marconi Memorial in Washington, D.C. The memorial is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Marconi was born near Bologna, the second son of Giuseppe Marconi, an Italian landowner, and his Irish wife, Annie Jameson, granddaughter of the founder of the Jameson Whiskey distillery. Marconi was educated in Bologna in the lab of Augusto Righi, in Florence at the Istituto Cavallero and, later, in Livorno. As a child Marconi did not do well in school. Baptized as a Catholic, he was also a member of the Anglican Church, being married into it; however, he still received a Catholic annulment. During his early years, Marconi had an interest in science and electricity. One of the scientific developments during this era came from Heinrich Hertz, who, beginning in 1888, demonstrated that one could produce and detect electromagnetic radiationnow generally known as "radio waves",...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=12104 ...

Excerpt: Augustine of Hippo (; Latin: ;) (November 13, 354 August 28, 430), Bishop of Hippo Regius, also known as Augustine, St. Augustine, or St. Austin was a Latin speaking philosopher and theologian living in the Roman Africa Province. Augustine was canonized by popular acclaim, and later recognized as a Doctor of the Church in 1298 by Pope Boniface VIII. His feast day is August 28, the day on which he died. He is considered the patron saint of brewers, printers, theologians, sore eyes, and a number of cities and dioceses. He is not to be confused with St. Augustine of Canterbury(d.604) Augustine, a Latin church father, is one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He "established anew the ancient faith" (conditor antiquae rursum fidei), according to his contemporary, Jerome. In his early years he was heavily influenced by Manichaeism and afterwards by the Neo-Platonism of Plotinus, but after his conversion and baptism (387), he developed his own approach to philosophy and theology accommodating a variety of methods and different perspectives. He believed that the grace of Christ was indispensable to human freedom and framed the concepts of original sin and just war. When the Roman Empire in the West was starting to disintegrate, Augustine developed the concept of the Church as a spiritual City of God (in a book of the same name) distinct from the material Earthly City. His thought profoundly influenced the medieval worldview. Augustine's City of God was closely identified with the church, and was the community which worsh...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2030 ...

Since 2001, she has also served in the Italian Senate as a Senator for Life. Today she is the oldest living Nobel laureate and the first ever to reach the 100th birthday. On April 22, 2009 she was feted with a 100th birthday party at Rome's city hall. She was also the subject of a joke in the British TV Program "Have I Got News for You", which also poked fun at the TV Channel Dave's habit of constantly repeating TV Programs, years after the original was first shown. It went as follows "She is now 100 years old, or if you are watching the repeat on Dave dead." (At time of writing she is still alive, which the announcer on Dave when this episode appeared went to great lengths to announce.) Born in Turin to a Sephardic Jewish family, together with her twin sister Paola she was the youngest of four children. Her parents were Adamo Levi, an electrical engineer and gifted mathematician, and Adele Montalcini, a painter. Levi-Montalcini decided to attend medical school after seeing a close family friend die of cancer, overcoming the objections of her father who believed that "a professional career would interfere with the duties of a wife and mother". She enrolled in the Turin medical school in 1930. After graduating in 1936, she went to work as Levi's assistant, but her academ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=708064 ... Read more

Excerpt: Lanfranc (c. 1005 or 1005? 1089) was Archbishop of Canterbury, and a Lombard by extraction. He was born in the early years of the eleventh century at Pavia, where later tradition held that his father, Hanbald, held a rank broadly equivalent to magistrate. He was orphaned at an early age. Lanfranc was trained in the liberal arts, at that time a field in which northern Italy was famous (there is little or no evidence to support the myth that his education included much in the way of Civil Law, and none that links him with Irnerius of Bologna as a pioneer in the renaissance of its study). For unknown reasons at an uncertain date, he crossed the Alps, soon taking up the role of teacher in France and eventually in Normandy. About 1039 he became the master of the cathedral school at Avranches, where he taught for three years with conspicuous success. But in 1042 he embraced the monastic profession in the newly founded Bec Abbey. Until 1045 he lived at Bec in absolute seclusion. He wa...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=145841 ... Read more

Succeeding Pope John XXIII, who had convened the Second Vatican Council, he decided to continue it. He fostered improved ecumenical relations with Orthodox, Anglicans and Protestants, which resulted in many historic meetings and agreements. Montini served in the Vaticans State Department from 1922 to 1954.

Excerpt:Achille Loria (March 2, 1857, Mantua - November 6, 1943) was an Italian political economist . He was educated at the lyceum of his native city and the universities of Bologna , Pavia , Rome , Berlin , and London and graduated at the University of Bologna (1877). He became professor of political economy in the University of Siena in 1881; and he held a similar appointment in the University of Padua (1891-1903), and University of Torino (1903-1932). He was elected to the Accademia dei Licei (1901) and appointed to the Italian Senate in 1919. His work draws on a wide range of predecessors: Karl Marx , Charles Spencer , Charles Darwin , Adolf Wagner and Luigi Cossa , who was his teacher. With this background and on the basis of research on landholding in the British Museum he developed an original deterministic theory of economic development. It is based on the premise that the relative scarcity of land leads to the subjugation of some members of society by others, a mechanism that works differently in different stages of development. This concept was developed in a large number of books, many of which were translated into foreign languages. They had an impact on writers like Charles A. Beard and indirectly influenced their interpretation of American histor... ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Marcello Malpighi (10 mars 1628 à Crevalcore, dans les environs de Bologne ; † 29 novembre 1694 à Rome) est le père de l'anatomie microscopique ou histologie. Son nom est aujourd'hui attaché à des dizaines de structures dans le corps humain et chez les insectes. Malpighi naît l'année même où William Harvey publie ses découvertes sur la circulation sanguine. Harvey restera toute sa vie le modèle que celui-ci cherchera à atteindre. Après des études à l'université de Bologne, il devient professeur titulaire de la chaire de médecine théorique à Pise en 1656. Il n'y restera que trois ans, sa santé précaire le poussant à rentrer à Bologne parmi les siens.Le 4 mars 1669, Malpighi devient membre de la Royal Society de Londres. Après être devenu médecin du pape Innocent XII en 1691, il meurt d'apoplexie le 29 novembre 1694 à Rome. Les travaux de Harvey, s'ils étaient révolutionnaires, restaient incomplets. Si Harvey avait compris le mécanisme général de la circulation sanguine, il n'avait pu trouver comment le sang passait des artères aux veines. En utilisant le microscope et en axant ses recherches sur le poumon, Malpighi découvre les capillaires en 1661, qu'il décrit dans De pulmonibus observationes anatomicae (observations anatomiques du poumon), bouclant ainsi le système de Harvey. Ce livre est considéré comme l'ouvrage fondateur de la médecine moderne. En plus de ses découvertes, Malpighi imaginera le schéma type des articles scientifiques tel q...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt: Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (·)) (April 15, 1452 May 2, 1519) was an Italian polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance man, a man whose unquenchable curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his interests were without precedent and "his mind and personality seem to us superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote". Marco Rosci points out, however, that while there is much speculation about Leonardo, his vision of the world is essentially logical rather than mysterious, and that the empirical methods he employed were unusual for his time.
