Hardback. Condición: Good. Writing was the central passion of Emerson's life. While his thoughts on the craft are well developed in ""The Poet"", ""The American Scholar"", ""Nature"", ""Goethe"", and ""Persian Poetry"", less well known are the many pages in his private journals devoted to the relationship between writing and reading. Here, for the first time, is the Concord Sage's energetic, exuberant, and unconventional advice on the idea of writing, focused and distilled by the preeminent Emerson biographer at work today. Emerson advised that 'the way to write is to throw your body at the mark when your arrows are spent'. ""First We Read, Then We Write"" contains numerous such surprises - from 'every word we speak is million-faced' to 'talent alone cannot make a writer' - but it is no mere collection of aphorisms and exhortations. Instead, in Robert Richardson's hands, the biographical and historical context in which Emerson worked becomes clear. Emerson's advice grew from his personal experience; in practically every moment of his adult life he was either preparing to write, trying to write, or writing. Richardson shows us an Emerson who is no granite bust but instead is a fully fleshed, creative person disarmingly willing to confront his own failures. Emerson urges his readers to try anything - strategies, tricks, makeshifts - speaking not only of the nuts and bolts of writing but also of the grain and sinew of his determination. Whether a writer by trade or a novice, every reader will find something to treasure in this volume. Fearlessly wrestling with 'the birthing stage of art', Emerson's counsel on being a reader and writer will be read and reread for years to come.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Since the discovery of anaesthesia a little over 150 years ago, advances in surgery have had the drama and excitement of a novel. Here is the full, fascinating story of these advances discussed in an eminently readable book. In lively fashion the author describes such outstanding developments as the discovery of anaesthesia and the gradual evolution of the aseptic ritual. Surgery: An Historical Commentary is filled with absorbing accounts of surgical triumphs including the persistence of Lord Lister in the introduction of antisepsis; the role of Theodor Billroth in the development of abdominal surgery; the unmasking of appendicitis by the Harvard pathologist, Reginald Fitz, the brilliance of Harvey Cushing in establishing neurosurgery; the initiative of Sir Harold Gillies in making plastic surgery a speciality; and the work of Halsted in the surgery of hernia and cancer of the breast. The surgery of warfare is reviewed showing not only how it led to progress in civilian practice but also how lessons are all too easily forgotten. This revised and enlarged edition contains much new material particularly on abdominal surgery - the sphere of the 'general' surgeon - and a full bibliography of some 800 entries.…
