Coste
Dans la tourmente de l'épopée napoléonienne, le service de santé de La Grande Armée vit des heures toujours difficiles, souvent tragiques. Se débattant à sa tête, Percy, Larrey, Desgenettes sont en conflit permanent avec l'Administration, voire avec Napoléon. Mais, à regarder de plus près, on découvre qu'une autre forte personnalité, Jean François Coste, s'agite au moins autant qu'eux. Là aussi, les trois mousquetaires étaient quatre. Contradicteur de Voltaire, médecin en chef du corps expéditionnaire de Rochambeau en Amérique, principal opposant de la réforme du service de santé sous Louis XVI, premier maire de Versailles, premier médecin des armées de la Révolution, puis des armées napoléniennes, sa vie fut une longue suite de combats. Sur le plan médical, son humanité foncière, son hostilité à l'abus des médicaments, son sens de l'examen titre que sa lutte pour l'indépendance du service de santé, un des précurseurs de la médecine d'aujourd'hui.
Control of Cracking in Reinforced Concrete Structures
This book presents new guidelines for the control of cracking in massive reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Understanding this behavior during construction allows engineers to ensure properties such as durability, reliability, and water- and air-tightness throughout a structure’s lifetime. Based on the findings of the French national CEOS.fr project, the authors extend existing engineering standards and codes to advance the measurement and prediction of cracking patterns. Various behaviors of concrete under load are explored within the chapters of the book. These include cracking of ties, beams and in walls, and the simulation and evaluation of cracking, shrinkage and creep. The authors propose new engineering rules for crack width and space assessment of cracking patterns, and provide recommendations for measurement devices and protocols. Intended as a reference for design and civil engineers working on construction projects, as well as to aid further work in the research community, applied examples are provided at the end of each chapter in the form of expanded measurement methods, calculations and commentary on models.
The Fevered Fight
The American Revolutionary War, fought 250 years ago between Britain’s North American colonies and the British colonial government, was a conflict of global significance. It had a profound influence on the history of the United States, Britain and the wider world, and an enormous body of literature has been devoted to the subject. Yet there is no comprehensive account of the military medicine practiced during the war, which is why this thorough, graphic and highly readable study by Martin Howard is so timely and valuable. His account describes the medical story of the War between Lexington and Yorktown in absorbing detail. He covers the key military events, the medicine and surgery of the ...
Revolutionary Medicine, 1700-1800
Chronicles the treatments and theories of American medicine in the 18th century.
Rhubarb
An Asian plant with mysterious cathartic powers, medicinal rhubarb spurred European trade expeditions and obsessive scientific inquiry from the Renaissance until the twentieth century. Rarely, however, had there been a plant that so thoroughly frustrated Europeans' efforts to acquire it and to master its special botanical and chemical properties. Here Clifford Foust presents the remarkable efforts of the explorers, traders, botanists, gardeners, physicians, and pharmacists who tried to adapt rhubarb for convenient use in Europe. His is an intriguing tale of how humans and their institutions have been affected by natural realities they do not entirely comprehend. Readers interested in the his...
