Rudolf Virchow
A collection of editorials on the AIDS crisis and its implications for the nation.
Dr Rudolph Virchow, the Father of Pathology
This book highlights the life of Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902), a 19th-century Renaissance man, physician, academic, writer, biologist, scientist, anthropologist, politician, and public health advocate and leading figure in the medical, political and intellectual life of Germany. It provides details of his personal letters, his many innovations and discoveries, and his life in politics, all set in the context of his extraordinary time. What is perhaps most characteristic of Virchow is that he looked at life in the most microscopic detail (he was called the “Father of Pathology”) and simultaneously from a much larger cultural and public health perspective. A particular fascination of this book is the role Virchow played in studying morphology and race during the time of an emergent socialist movement, rising anti-Semitism, and cultural superiority in German. The book will appeal to a global readership, including physicians, scientists, anthropologists and historians and anyone interested in 19th century medical life and racial and health equality.
Virchow's Eulogies
Rudolph Virchow (1821-1902) was a leading figure in the medical, political and intellectual life of Germany in the second half of the nineteenth century. His most famous work was "Cellular Pathology". Virchow wrote many books and edited several journals, including ‘Virchow’s Archive’ and was a member of numerous professional societies. This book is a compilation of Virchow's memorial addresses on nineteen of his teachers –especially Johannes Müller and Johann Lukas Schönlein – colleagues and students as well as one concerning Morgagni. There is an introduction to the man and his times, and copious editors' notes to explain allusions and events mentioned in the text with which some modern readers may be unfamiliar. There is also an extensive bibliography incorporating German sources, with English translations of all titles. The book gives a fascinating multi-dimensional view of scientists and their lives in nineteenth century Germany.

Cellular Pathology as Based Upon Physiological and Pathological Histology
This book is one of the towering classics in the history of the development of modern medicine. In a day when organic cells were believed to be formed chemically from 'blastemas, ' Rudolf Virchow lectured his colleagues at the Institute of Pathology in Berlin on his work proving that new cells were formed mainly by division of the old. His twenty lectures, published in this volume, trace how Virchow developed the importance of the cellular theory in pathology, exposed the falsity of previous theories of tissue component generation, and presented a new understanding of physiological and pathological tissues. His discussions turned the study of histopathology toward new horizons. -- from Back Cover.
