Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Stanley M. Aronson, M.D., the founding dean of Brown University's medical school, has been writing newspaper columns for more than a decade for two Rhode Island publications. His Medical Arts' commentaries, compiled in this volume, have graced the pages of The Rhode Island Jewish Voice & Herald with wisdom, humor and a compelling humanity. The columns take readers on a journey into the history, heroes, marvels and maladies of ancient and current medical practices, captured in engaging tales. This collection includes stories of Jewish Nobel Prize winners, Biblical and medical giants as well as notables from the Rhode Island and New York Jewish medical communities. Thus, you will read, through a medical, Jewish and universal perspective, of David and Goliath, the Biblical Miriam, the historic Lewis and Clark, Jonas Salk, Alexander Fleming, Metchnikoff, and Maimonides to name but a few, in these pages. Dr. Aronson also reflects on his own humble origins through recollections of growing up in a Jewish immigrant family in Brooklyn. He then broadens the experience to an examination of exile, from the Mosaic era to the present. The commentaries are leavened with the wit and wonder of what were often 'perilous' medical encounters, hence the title of this collection. It includes chapters on clinical cases in the Scriptures, the evolution of Judaic medicine, Jewish physicians, the historic development of hospitals, Diaspora and disease, and medical curiosities and customs. The author's penchant for the odd detail ('And He smote them with what ) as well as his innate curiosity ('Jonas Salk, sleuth') and questing spirit ('Lewis and Clark: The Lost Tribes of Israel') illuminate this work.…
