Hyper Hypo The Greece Notebook
Book SynopsisThe Greece Notebook, by Michael McGregor, is a collection of point and click drawings each made in a flash to emulate the candidness of shooting snapshots on a disposable camera while on holiday. Each rendering was created during a 3 month journey around Greece in 2022. By no means a flashy trip to Mykonos or an influencer's paid holiday in Santorini, The Greece Notebook dives into the mundane, the daily details of every day life in Greece. From the Ionian islands to Athens; from the port city of Piraeus to the Aegean Sea and the Cyclades, McGregor's impressionist travelogue is an observational examination of Greece through the eyes of an outsider. Well known for his lively still-life paintings and drawings, Michael McGregor is an artist living and working in Los Angeles. He has exhibited in the US, the UK, Italy and Mexico, as well as contributed to various international magazines and periodicals. Founded in 2021, Hyper Hypo is an Athens-based independent bookshop and publishing

Niyogi Books Vision and Visuals
Book SynopsisThe multifaceted Rajshekhar Basu (1880-1960), who wrote under the pseudonym Parashuram', was one of Bengal's great humourists, apart from being an accomplished essayist and lexicographer, and a distinguished chemist. His stories were always illustrated by his friend, the artist Jatindrakumar Sen (1882-1966). Together, the stories and sketches were an intrinsic part of the lives of generations of Bengalis.

Moshe Kaufman Landscapes of Israel
Book SynopsisThese thirty-three drawings, collected from hundreds of drawings, are the fruition of sketching trips of the artist to the historic and picturesque landscapes of the Holy Land. They reflect the artist''s admiration of the majestic sceneries he has witnessed while touring the various regions of the country. His formative years were spent in Jerusalem where the urban landscapes of Jerusalem were first absorbed. During his student years in Haifa he enjoyed many trips to the mountains of the Carmel and the Galilee. In later years, being involved in the planning of the town of Eilat, he had the opportunity to be in close contact with the mountainous desert views of the Negev and the Arava.

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
