Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Imagine biology and medicine today without computers. What would laboratory work be like if electronic databases and statistical software did not exist? Would disciplines like genomics even be feasible if we lacked the means to manage and manipulate huge volumes of digital data? How would patients fare in a world absent CT scans, programmable pacemakers, and computerized medical records? Today, computers are a critical component of almost all research in biology and medicine. Yet, just fifty years ago, the study of life was by far the least digitized field of science, its living subject matter thought too complex and dynamic to be meaningfully analyzed by logic-driven computers. In this long-overdue study, historian Joseph November explores the early attempts, in the 1950s and 1960s, to computerize biomedical research in the United States. Computers and biomedical research are now so intimately connected that it is difficult to imagine when such critical work was offline. "Biomedical Computing" transports readers back to such a time and investigates how computers first appeared in the research lab and doctor's office.November examines the conditions that made possible the computerization of biology - including strong technological, institutional, and political support from the National Institutes of Health - and shows not only how digital technology transformed the life sciences but also how the intersection of the two led to important developments in computer architecture and software design. The history of this phenomenon has been only vaguely understood. November's thoroughly researched and lively study makes clear for readers the motives behind computerizing the study of life and how that technology profoundly affects biomedical research today.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. In Hebrew. 270, (2) pages. 23 x 16.5 cm. Hinges exposed. Joseph Samuel Bloch was an Austrian rabbi and parliament deputy of Polish descent. Bloch's parents were poor, his father extremely strict and so he fled home at age 13. He devoted religious studies, wandered through various towns, frequenting, and sleeping in yeshivot, especially that of Rabbi Josef Saul Nathanson at Lemberg, who, in his responsa, mentions Bloch, when he was only fifteen years old, as one of his most intelligent pupils. After having finished his studies at the gymnasiums of Magdeburg and Liegnitz, he studied the Universities of Munich and Zurich, where he obtained his degree of doctor of philosophy. He was appointed rabbi in Rendsburg, Holstein, afterward in Kobylin, Posen (Poznan), and Brux, Bohemia, and ended his rabbinical career in Floridsdorf, near Vienna. Antisemitism was endemic in Austria during the late 19th century and was taking political center-stage from the 1870s on. Taking advantage of this, August Rohling, a Professor of Theology at one of the German universities, published a book, Der Talmudjude (1871), which became a bestseller and was read by hundreds of thousands (one Catholic organization distributed 38,000 copies free of charge). It rehashed the worst medieval libels concerning alleged hateful and debased Talmudic teachings and Jewish religious practices. Rohling became famous, continued even more intensified attacks against the Jews, and was eventually rewarded with an appointment to the Catholic theological faculty of Prague University. During the Tisza-Eszlár trial in 1883, Rohling made a written offer to substantiate under oath the blood ritual of the Jews, namely that their religion obliged them to eat Christian flesh in their rituals. The leading rabbis of Austria issued only a brief denial of this libel and tried otherwise to ignore these outrageous falsehoods, hoping that the controversy would fade away. But Rabbi Dr. Bloch, until then an obscure rabbi of a small and poor suburban congregation believed that a thorough and effective rebuttal had to be made, no matter what the ugliness of the conflict. He took on the challenge with a series of articles in which he openly accused Rohling of committing wilful perjury; Bloch also denounced Rohling, moreover, as a person utterly ignorant in Talmudic learning, not even able to translate a single page of Talmud. His articles caused a sensation; three editions of 100,000 copies sold out in a single day. As a Professor of Theology, Rohling had to respond to this very public challenge or lose all credibility and even his university position. After several successful attempts to delay the proceedings, when the trial could no longer be postponed Rohling preferred to withdraw completely, thus tacitly acknowledging defeat. He lost his professorship and became a byword amongst liberals for antisemitic falsifications, even if antisemites still honored him. In 1884, now a hero of the Jewish community and a political figure to reckon with, Bloch founded a periodical, Oesterreichische Wochenschrift, with the aim of defending the political rights of the Jews, to refute unjust attacks, and to inspire its readers with courage and faith. Bloch also attended several meetings held by workingmen, and lectured with some success on the Talmudic principles of labor and on the laboring classes in the Old Testament. After the death of the chief rabbi Simon Schreiber in Kraków in 1884, who had been deputy for Kolomea in parliament, Bloch was elected as his successor. In 1885, he was re-elected, and after a hard struggle with Dr. Byk in 1891, he was elected for the third time. As a member of the Chamber of Deputies, he withdrew from his rabbinical post in order to devote himself entirely to his public functions and journalism. In 1893, instigated by Josef Deckert, a pastor in Vienna, a baptized Jew named Paulus Meyer declared in the Vaterland of May 11. . .

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. In German. 144 pages. 185 x 125 mm. Small hard cover book in the original dark blue calico. It was originally sold for 30 pfennigs, plus postage. The soft cover was sold for 20 pfennigs, plus postage. The verso of the title page is a reproduction of a letter by Nathan Straus praising RUtherford for his desire to see the return of the Jews to Palestine and his, Rutherford's, Zionist ideals. Nathan Straus (January 31, 1848 - January 11, 1931) was a German-born, American merchant and philanthropist who co-owned two of New York City's biggest department stores, R. H. Macy & Company and Abraham & Straus. Straus privately funded the Nathan Straus Pasteurized Milk Laboratory, providing pasteurized milk to children to combat infant mortality and tuberculosis, thus saving the lives of millions of infants. During the economic panic of 1893, Straus used his milk stations to sell coal at the very low price of 5 cents for 25 pounds to those who could pay. Those who could not afford to pay 5 cents received coal free. He opened lodging houses for 64,000 people, who could get a bed and breakfast for 5 cents, he funded 50,000 meals for one cent each, gave away thousands of turkeys anonymously. At Abraham & Straus he noticed that two of his employees were starving themselves to save their wages to feed their families, so he established what may have been the first subsidized company cafeteria. During the winter of 1914-15, he served 1,135,731 penny meals for the unemployed from his milk depots in New York City. In 1916, as American entry into World War I loomed, he sold his yacht Sisilina to the Coast Guard, and used the proceeds to feed war orphans. Later he fed returning American servicemen at Battery Park. Straus donated money to the New York Public Library, helped the city's poor by building a recreational pier, the first of many on the city's waterfront. He was a fervent Zionist, and appreciated Rutherford's Zionism. Joseph Franklin Rutherford (November 8, 1869 - January 8, 1942), also known as Judge Rutherford, was the second president of the incorporated Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. He played a primary role in the organization and doctrinal development of Jehovah's Witnesses, which emerged from the Bible Student movement established by Charles Taze Russell. Russel was a Philo-Semite who held Zionist views, met with Zionist leaders, suggested to Edmund Rothschild and the Baron Hirsch that they buy from the Ottomans all non-privately held land in Palestine and settle Jews there, believed that Jews never lost "God's favor," and believed that no attempts should be made by Christians to convert Jews. Rutherford espoused the same views and started out as a Philo-Semite, but in 1928 Rutherford discarded Russell's teaching that the Jews would be restored to their homeland, despite having declared ten years earlier that prophecies of their restoration were already being fulfilled with the British takeover of Palestine from Turkey during World War I. Rutherford started denying that there was a role for Jews in God's Kingdom arrangement, and by 1933 he reversed Russell's earlier teaching, and began claiming that prominent Jewish business leaders were "arrogant, self-important and extremely selfish." The teaching that God would restore the Jews to Palestine was discontinued around the same time. Rutherford's changed views made this pro Zionist 1925 book, Comfort for the Jews (Trost fuer die Juden, in the German language edition), an embarrassment, and so Jehovaha's Witnesses were instructed by Rutherford to destroy copies of this book he had written. Later, the Nazis, who deemed Jehovah's Witnesses enemies of the state, to be sent to concentration camps, destroyed whatever German language copies they got their hands on. So most copies of the German language edition that the Jehovah's Witnesses did not themselves destroy, were destroyed by the Nazis, making this edition rare.
