Sinossi

In "M. Laennec's Method of Forming a Diagnosis of the Diseases of the Chest," Charles Scudamore meticulously explores the groundbreaking diagnostic techniques introduced by René Laennec in the early 19th century. Written in a clinical and authoritative style, Scudamore's work delves into the significance of auscultation—a method that revolutionized the approach to respiratory diseases. Contextually, this work emerges during a transformative period in the medical field when understanding pulmonary conditions was rudimentary at best. Scudamore not only elucidates Laennec's contributions but also reflects on the empirical methodologies of his time that sought to enhance clinical practice through observation and sound interpretation. Charles Scudamore, a noted physician and contemporary of Laennec, brought a wealth of experience to this examination of chest diseases. His profound interest in respiratory health, informed by a background in practical medicine, positioned him as an ideal commentator on Laennec's advancements. With a commitment to the principles of accuracy and empirical observation, Scudamore's work exemplifies the evolving landscape of medical diagnostics in which he participated. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of early medical diagnostics will find Scudamore's exploration indispensable. This text not only serves as a historical account of Laennec's techniques but is also a celebration of the progress in medical knowledge. Highly recommended for both historians of medicine and contemporary clinicians, it provides foundational insights that continue to resonate in modern practice.

Loose of Earth - A Memoir

Kathleen Dorothy Blackburn

Kathleen Dorothy Blackburn was the oldest of five children, a twelve-year-old from Lubbock, Texas, whose evangelical family eschewed public education for homeschooling, and wove improbable scientific theories into literal interpretations of the Bible. Then her father, a former air force pilot, was diagnosed with cancer at the age of thirty-eight, and, "it was like throwing gasoline on the Holy Spirit." Stirred by her mother, the family committed to an extreme diet and sought deliverance from equally extreme sources: a traveling tent preacher, a Malaysian holy man, a local faith-healer who led services called "Miracles on 34th Street." 
 
 
 
What they didn't know was that their lives were entangled with a larger, less visible environmental catastrophe. Firefighting foams containing carcinogenic compounds had contaminated the drinking water of every military site where her father worked. Commonly referred to as "forever chemicals," the presence of PFAS in West Texas besieged a landscape already burdened with vanishing water, taking up residence in wells and in the bloodstreams of people who lived there. An arresting portrait of the pernicious creep of decline, and a powerful cry for environmental justice, Loose of Earth captures the desperate futility and unbending religious faith that devastated a family, leaving them waiting for a miracle that would never come.
