Penguin Publishing Group The Invisible History of the Human Race
Book Synopsis• A New York Times Notable Book •“The richest, freshest, most fun book on genetics in some time.” —The New York Times Book Review We are doomed to repeat history if we fail to learn from it, but how are we affected by the forces that are invisible to us? In The Invisible History of the Human Race Christine Kenneally draws on cutting-edge research to reveal how both historical artifacts and DNA tell us where we come from and where we may be going. While some books explore our genetic inheritance and popular television shows celebrate ancestry, this is the first book to explore how everything from DNA to emotions to names and the stories that form our lives are all part of our human legacy. Kenneally shows how trust is inherited in Africa, silence is passed down in Tasmania, and how the history of nations is written in our DNA. From fateful, anci

Oxford University Press Cajals Neuronal Forest
Book SynopsisCajal''s Neuronal Forest: Science and Art continues the tradition set forth by its sister volume Cajal''s Butterflies of the Soul (OUP, 2009). This new collection contains hundreds of beautiful rarely-seen-before figures produced throughout the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century by famed father-of-modern-neuroscience Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) and his contemporaries. Cajal was captivated by the beautiful shapes of the cells of the nervous system. He and his fellow scientists saw neurons as trees and glial cells as bushes. Given their high density and arrangement, neurons and glial resembled a thick forest, a seemingly impenetrable terrain of interacting cells mediating cognition and behavior. In unraveling the mysteries of the brain, these researchers encountered an almost infinite number of cellular forms with an extraordinary beauty, which they could not help but put pen to paper, allowing them to discover a new artistic world- the neuronal forest- that gave free rein not only to their imagination, but to a new way of viewing the brain as well. This book has been divided into two parts. The first focuses on the scientific atmosphere in Cajal''s times, on the history of the neuron, and the anatomical challenge posed in studying neuronal connections. It also delves into the artistic skills of Cajal and other important pioneers in neuroscience and how the neuronal forests have served as an unlimited source of artistic inspiration. The second consists of 275 original drawings by Cajal. All were published over the course of his scientific career and cover virtually all of his research fields of interest, including the spinal cord, the optic lobe and retina, cerebral cortex, and many other regions of the brain. Cajal''s Neuronal Forest: Science and Art is a testament to the natural beauty found in science. Despite the common misconception that the drawings of Cajal and other scientists of the time are pieces of art, these drawings are in fact copies of histological preparations and contributed greatly to the discoveries made in the field of neuroscience. This book is a gem in any library, whether serving as a medical history or a gallery of stunning sketches.Trade ReviewThis beautiful book would grace any coffee table, and grace a neurologists coffee table most of all. Its illustrations are truly captivating, and the reproductions of Ramon y Cajals work can be appreciated all the more because they are presented alongside many other historic drawings, as well as photographs and artworks. * Rhys Davies, Advances In Clinical Neuroscience and Rehabilitation *All neuroscientists can find illustrations of their preferred part of the brain in this book. * Sten Grillner, MD, PhD, Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden *In a treasure trove of Cajal's drawings, the author traces the discovery of the types and connectivity of neurons, the deduction that bulbous spine endings provide the elements for the transmission of nerve impulses, and schema of direction of current flow in different brain regions. Cajal's Neuronal Forest is a remarkable resource for anyone interested in Cajal's scientific genius, his artistry and the origins of the Neuron Theory. * Mary E. Hatten, PhD, The Rockefeller *Javier DeFelipe has assembled a special volume dedicated to Cajal's lifetime contributions to the field of Neuroscience. This collection of Cajal's full-size, hand-made drawings provides higher resolution images than those found in his Textura or Histologie volumes. * Charles E. Ribak, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Anatomy & Neurobiology, University of California *Everyone interested in how the brain works should own and display a copy of this spectacular book. * Larry W. Swanson, PhD, Appleman Professor of Biological Sciences, Neurology, and Psychology, University of Southern California *The level of effort to produce this fantastic volume, and the extraordinary nature of the illustrations themselves, have to be seen to be appreciated! * Barbara Oakley, PhD *Table of ContentsTable of Contents Foreword Ramon Areces Foundation Foreword Spanish Foundation to Science and Technology Foreword Tatiana Perez De Guzman El Bueno Foundation Foreword by Pasko Rakic Preface Part I: Introduction Introductory Remarks A Note on Microphotography and Illustrations of Histological Preparations The Anatomical Challenge of the Study of Neuronal Connections Section A: The Scientific Atmosphere in Cajal's Times The Discovery of the Reazione Nera: Commencing the Detailed Study of the Structure of the Nervous System The Discovery of the Golgi Method by Cajal and the Influence of Maestre De San Juan and Simarro Drawing as a Tool to Illustrate Microscopic Images Differences in the Interpretation of the Microscopic World Neuron Doctrine versus the Reticular Theory The Reticular Theory and Precursors of the Neuron Theory Golgi, Cajal and the Nobel Prize Lectures in 1906 The Law of Dynamic Polarization of Nerve Cells Introduction of the Term "Neuron" and the Renascence of Reticularism Confirmation of the Free Ending of the Nervous Processes: The Discovery of the Synaptic Cleft Neoreticularism and the Neuron Doctrine in the Present Day Dendritic Spines: True Anatomical Structures versus Artifact Dendritic Spines and the Methylene Blue Method Other Interpretations of the Dendritic Spines Dendritic Spines and Cajal's 'Final Lesson' Confirmation that Dendritic Spines are Postsynaptic Structures Combination of the Golgi Method and Electron Microscopy Dendritic Spines: Their Features and Role as a Key Component in Microcircuits Section B: The Golden Era for Artistic Creativity in Neuroscience Artistic Skills and Emotions of Cajal and Other Early Neuroanatomists Verification of the Drawings of Cajal and Other Scientists The Neuronal Forest as a Source of Artistic Inspiration Summary, Final Considerations and Concluding Remarks Notes Bibliography Part II: Gallery of Cajal's Drawings Section A: Spinal Cord Section B: Medulla Oblongata Section C: Cerebellum and Deep Cerebellar Nuclei Section D: Midbrain and Thalamus Section E: Optic Lobe of Lower Vertebrates Section F: Retina of Vertebrates Section G: Cerebral Cortex and Olfactory Apparatus Section H: Degeneration and Regeneration of the Nervous System Section I: Retina and Optic Centers of Cephalopods Section J: Insect Brain: Visual System Section K: Supplementary Figures Author Index

Oxford University Press, USA The CuvierGeoffroy Debate
Book SynopsisExplores the historical and scientific issues that made comparative anatomy central to 19th-century biology and fostered the development of Darwin's theory of evolution.Trade Review'Appel has illuminated brilliantly the French intellectual scene in the 19th century...Under consideration are not only biological aspects of the debate, but also its religious, social and polical backgrounds, and its later influence on evolutionary theory and other modalities of culture and intellect....This beautifully organized, elegantly written book, based on sound research, is recommended strongly to readers interested in the forms and functions of the organism that is science.' The Scientist'Long-awaited and exhilarating study... the definitive modern account... Historians are only now coming to realize how prevalent and important morphological theories were in the pre-Darwinian period. The Cuvier-Geoffroy Debate contributes substantially to this changing historical perspective. Toby Appel's masterly study is destined to become a landmark.' Nature'this is a fascinating, clearly told and meticulously documented ... This is a fine work of scholarship, deserving to be read by all who are interested in the history of biology and palaeontology. Ignore the drab dust jacket and do not be deterred by the lack of enlivening illustration; buy it, read it, and learn much!' William A.S.

Penguin Putnam Inc Breath
Book SynopsisA New York Times BestsellerA Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR ?A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe?and how we?ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.? ?Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray LoveNo matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you?re not breathing properly.There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren?t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.
