"In this volume, two French physicians, Jacques Philippon and Jacques Poirier, analyze Joseph Babinski's great scientific achievements, explore his unique family history, and publish for the first time a complete bibliography of his publications." "This book chronicles his family's emigration from Poland to France, his tutelage and early career under great teachers such as Alfred Vulpian, Victor Cornil, and Jean-Martin Charcot at the Hopital de la Salpetriere in Paris, his methods and observations during his 17 years as department head at La Pitie, as well as the close and unique relationship with his brother Henri. Finally, Babinski's life and times can be accessed in one book."--BOOK JACKET.
Band 2 der Gesamtausgabe enthält Valérys Dialoge und Theaterstücke von 1920 bis 1945. Die dem Sokratischen Dialog nachempfundenen Streitgespräche vermitteln einen Eindruck der weitreichenden Interessen Valérys und loten kontrovers Formen künstlerischen Schaffens aus. Auf die Dialoge folgen die Fragmente Mein Faust, das Melodram Amphion sowie theoretische Schriften zum Theater. Mit seinen unvollendet gebliebenen Stücken des Faust-Zyklus knüpft Valéry an Goethe an und versetzt die Figuren, mit ihrem Streben nach Erweiterung der rationalen Fähigkeiten und nach totaler Beherrschung von Natur und Welt, ins 20. Jahrhundert. Wie im gesamten Werk Valérys bedingt auch hier die mit philosophischem Gedankengut aufgeladene Sprache die Neuverhandlung des Stoffes.

Jean-Martin Charcot, the iconic 19th century French scientist, is still regarded today as the most famous and celebrated neurologist in the world. Despite the development of strong independent schools of thought in the USA, UK and Germany, his 'Salpêtrière' school has become symbolic of the early development and rise of neurological practice and research. This book presents a fresh look at the origins of nervous system medicine, and at the fate of Charcot's school and pupils. Special emphasis is placed upon the parallels and interactions between developments in neurology and mental medicine, clearly demonstrating that Charcot is not only the father of clinical neurology, but also wielded enormous influence upon the field we would come to know as psychiatry. Providing new insights into the life and work of Charcot and his pupils, this book will make fascinating reading for neurologists, psychiatrists, physicians and historians.
