A Handbook of Nobel Laureates in Medicine
While we are fascinated by Noble Prize winners and their giant contributions to our profession, let us also remember the practice of medicine is a delicate mix of science, compassion, care and commitment. I think it is apt to recall this immortal image of a Victorian era British doctor, who is helplessly watching a dying child with Typhoid fever after exhausting all treatments he could administer at that time. Feets away, we can also see the grieving child’s mother and loving father. This canvas was drawn by British painter Sir Luke Fildes in 1891, still surviving in corridors of most medical schools, hauntingly depicting the care and concern of a Doctor towards his ailing patient. It will continue to remind the generation next, the true meaning of the noble profession. Does it sound unreasonable to expect a Doctor with such qualities deserve a Noble prize in the current times?
A Century of Nobel Prize Recipients
Celebrating a century of revolutionary contributions to our understanding of life, the world, and the universe, this encyclopedic desk reference traces the discoveries that earned nearly 500 distinguished scientists Nobel honors in the areas of chemistry, physics, and medicine. The School of Library Journal called it "...eye-catching... Original ar
The Brain of Robert Frost
Originally published in 1988, this book brings brain science to literary criticism. The Brain of Robert Frost combines psychoanalysis with the findings of brain research and cognitive psychology to model the way we create and respond to literature. Norman Holland draws three central ideas from ‘the mind’s new science’: the critical ‘supercharged’ period in infancy when individuality is formed; the binding of emotion to intellect deep in the old brain; the top-down, inside-out, feedback processing of language in the new. Then, using Robert Frost as an example both of a writer and a reader, and comparing Frost’s reading of a poem to readings by six professors of literature, Holland builds a new, powerful way of thinking about literary criticism and teaching. A book about literary cognition, The Brain of Robert Frost furthers our understanding of the reading process, of poet’s brains, and of our own.
Traumatic Injuries in the Nervous System
This Research Topic surrounds the information presented at the upcoming conference Neurotrama Symposium held at the Centre for Trauma Research, September 15-16 2010. Traumatic injury to the central nervous system (CNS) is the leading cause of death and disability for people up to about 40 years of age. Examples and experiences of CNS trauma and medical care during historic and ongoing wars will be given, referring to the early history of Karolinska Institutet (KI).
Portraits of Pioneers in Psychology
A major aim of the books in this series is to promote psychology's appreciation of the neglected giants in its history. The chapters document the significance of these early contributions, many of them made more than a century ago. Most of the chapters are revisions of invited addresses delivered at psychological conventions. Several of the authors are students, colleagues, or offspring of their pioneers and all of them are intrigued by the life and work of the psychologists about whom they have written. All of the portraits are informal; on occasion, even humorous. Some are "impersonations"--telling stories in what were or might have been the pioneer's own words. This book provides source materials for teachers of undergraduate courses in psychology--particularly the history of psychology--who want to add a personal view in their lectures and offer interesting readings for their students. Each of the five volumes in this series contains different profiles thereby bringing more than 100 of the pioneers in psychology more vividly to life.
