Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen: A Shining Life for Science (Classic Texts in the Sciences)
by Uwe BuschIt was one of the great moments of humanity when Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845– 1923) discovered a new kind of radiation on 8 November 1895. He himself modestly called them “X-rays”. Röntgen’s name and his rays became world famous. On 10 December 1901, Röntgen received the first Nobel Prize in Physics. X-rays have lost none of their appeal since then. They still permeate all areas of science, technology and medicine and accompany us in our everyday lives.However, Röntgen’s scientific work cannot be reduced to this one great discovery alone. He was an excellent natural scientist, and his spirit of research is still an example for many scientists today. Röntgen’s very special interest in precision physics is also more topical than ever.This carefully curated volume offers a multifaceted view of an outstanding natural scientist and provides insights into his personal legacy.
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen: Die Geburt der Radiologie
by Gerd Rosenbusch Annemarie de Knecht-van EekelenWilhelm Conrad Röntgen Dieses Buch wendet sich an alle, die sich für die Geschichte der Radiologie und Physik interessieren. Es wirft ein neues Licht auf das Leben und die Karriere von Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, indem es zeigt, wie seine Persönlichkeit durch seine Jugend in den Niederlanden und sein Studium in der Schweiz geformt worden ist, wodurch er der Mann wurde, der ”eine neue Art von Strahlen” beschrieben hat. Die Entdeckung der X-Strahlen (Röntgenstrahlen) Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts fiel mit einer Reihe von Erfindungen zusammen. Heute können wir uns ein Leben ohne Elektrizität, Telefon oder Auto nicht mehr vorstellen. Dies waren alles Neuheiten zu jener Zeit. Wie wichtig die Röntgenstrahlen für die Bildgebung waren, wurde sofort erkannt; denn sie eröffneten ganz neue Möglichkeiten den menschlichen Körper zu untersuchen. Dies war die Geburtsstunde der Radiologie. Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845-1923) wurde in Lennep im Bergischen Land geboren und emigrierte mit seiner Familie 1848 in die Niederlande. Als 17-Jähriger zog er nach Utrecht um die Technische Schule zu besuchen. Er wohnte bei der Familie des Dr. Jan Willem Gunning. Die sehr anregende Atmosphäre in dieser Familie veranlasste ihn zu studieren und nicht das Geschäft seines Vaters zu übernehmen. In Zürich erwarb er das Diplom eines Maschineningenieurs am Polytechnikum und ein Jahr später seinen Doktortitel an der Universität. Mit seinem Mentor August Kundt arbeitete er in Würzburg (1870) und Straßburg (1872), was ihm erlaubte seine geliebte Bertha aus der Schweiz zu heiraten. In Gießen wurde er 1879 ordentlicher Professor der Physik. 1888 wechselte Röntgen nach Würzburg, wo er 1895 die X-Strahlen entdeckte. Von 1901 bis 1921 lehrte er an der Universität München. Für seine Entdeckung wurde ihm 1901 der 1. Nobelpreis in der Physik verliehen.
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen: Ein leuchtendes Leben für die Wissenschaft (Klassische Texte der Wissenschaft)
by Uwe BuschEs war eine der großen Sternstunden der Menschheit, als Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845-1923) am 8. November 1895 eine neue Sorte von Strahlung entdeckte. Er selbst nannte sie bescheiden „X-Strahlen“. Sein Name und seine Strahlen wurden weltberühmt. Am 10. Dezember 1901 erhielt Röntgen für die Entdeckung und Erforschung der nach ihm benannten Röntgenstrahlen den ersten Nobelpreis für Physik. Röntgenstrahlen haben seitdem nichts an Attraktivität verloren. Sie durchdringen nach wie vor alle Bereiche der Wissenschaft und Technik und begleiten uns im alltäglichen Leben.Röntgens wissenschaftliches Wirken kann aber nicht nur reduziert werden auf diese eine großartige Entdeckung. Er war insgesamt ein exzellenter Naturforscher, sein Forschergeist ist heute noch Beispiel für viele Wissenschaftler. Auch sein Spezialgebiet der Präzisionsphysik ist aktueller denn je.Zu Röntgens 175. Geburtstag und dem 125-jährigen Jubiläum der Entdeckung der Röntgenstrahlen im Jahr 2020 ermöglicht das Deutsche Röntgen-Museum einen anderen Blick auf den herausragenden Naturforscher und gibt Einblicke in seinen persönlichen Nachlass.Statements von nationalen und internationalen Röntgenwissenschaftlern zeigen dabei eines sehr deutlich: „Röntgen hat Zukunft“.Der HerausgeberDer Herausgeber Uwe Busch ist Medizinphysiker und Direktor des Deutschen Röntgen-Museums. Gemeinsam mit dem neu gestalteten Geburtshaus von Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen ermöglichen beide Häuser einen fesselnden Einblick in das Leben und Werk Röntgens sowie das Erlebnis der eigenen Entdeckung der faszinierenden Welt der Röntgenstrahlen. Einer Welt, die sich über viele räumliche und zeitliche Dimensionen von den Nanowelten des Mikrokosmos bis hin zu den unendlichen Weiten des Kosmos und von der Vergangenheit bis in die Zukunft erstreckt. Alle Welt ist voller Röntgenstrahlung. Sie sinnvoll zu nutzen, ist und bleibt das Ziel von Wissenschaft und Forschung von gestern, heute und morgen.Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen würde genau daran seinen Spaß haben. Forschung zur Erweiterung des eigenen Horizonts, tiefe Freude am Erkenntnisgewinn und der Nutzen für die Menschheit.
Wilhelm Reich: Psychoanalyst and Radical Naturalist
by Robert S. CorringtonA stirring reappraisal of the brilliant, maligned psychoanalytic thinkerRobert S. Corrington offers the first thorough reconsideration of Wilhelm Reich's life and work since Reich's death in 1957. Reich was seventeen years old at the outbreak of World War I and had already witnessed the suicides of his mother and father. A native of Vienna, he became a disciple of Freud; but by his late twenties, having already written his classic The Function of the Orgasm, he fled the Third Reich and departed, too, from Freudian psychoanalysis.In The Mass Psychology of Fascism, Reich first took the now classic position that social behavior has its every root in sexual behavior and repression. But the psychoanalytic community was made uncomfortable by this claim, and it was said -- by the time of Reich's death in an American prison on dubious charges brought by the federal government -- that Reich had squandered his prodigal genius and surrendered to his own paranoia and psychosis, an opinion still responsible for the neglect and misconception of Reich's contribution to psychology.In this transfixing psychobiography, Corrington illuminates the themes and obsessions that unify Reich's work and reports on Reich's fascinating, unrelenting one-man quest to probe the ultimate structures of self, world, and cosmos.

Will & I: A Memoir
by Clay Byars“Byars recounts his struggle to master a body shattered by tragedy . . . A fascinating, if chilling, meditation on the aftermath of trauma.” —Publishers WeeklyClay Byars was recovering at home from a near-fatal car crash when he suffered a massive stroke. He was just eighteen years old. He awoke, back in the hospital, and was told he would be paralyzed from the eyes down for the rest of his life.Determined to defy the odds, Clay quickly and miraculously began to recover his mobility but discovered just how different his life would be—a disparity embodied by his identical twin brother, Will. As Will went on to graduate from college, marry, and start a family, Clay carved out a unique existence, doing the seemingly impossible by living on his own on a remote farm in Alabama.With haunting clarity and heartrending honesty, Will & I tells the unlikely story of Clay’s life and his coping mechanisms, including weekly singing lessons that not only teach him to use his voice but remind him of his will to exist. In this singular and striking meditation on vulnerability and vitality, we’re invited to see how Clay sees the world—and how the world sees him—as he bravely challenges himself and his abilities at every turn.“A visceral, electric memoir.” —Dannye Romine Powell, The Charlotte Observer“[An] intensely powerful memoir . . .

Willful Ignorance
by Herbert I. WeisbergAn original account of willful ignorance and how this principle relates to modern probability and statistical methods Through a series of colorful stories about great thinkers and the problems they chose to solve, the author traces the historical evolution of probability and explains how statistical methods have helped to propel scientific research. However, the past success of statistics has depended on vast, deliberate simplifications amounting to willful ignorance, and this very success now threatens future advances in medicine, the social sciences, and other fields. Limitations of existing methods result in frequent reversals of scientific findings and recommendations, to the consternation of both scientists and the lay public.Willful Ignorance: The Mismeasure of Uncertainty exposes the fallacy of regarding probability as the full measure of our uncertainty. The book explains how statistical methodology, though enormously productive and influential over the past century, is approaching a crisis. The deep and troubling divide between qualitative and quantitative modes of research, and between research and practice, are reflections of this underlying problem. The author outlines a path toward the re-engineering of data analysis to help close these gaps and accelerate scientific discovery. Willful Ignorance: The Mismeasure of Uncertainty presents essential information and novel ideas that should be of interest to anyone concerned about the future of scientific research. The book is especially pertinent for professionals in statistics and related fields, including practicing and research clinicians, biomedical and social science researchers, business leaders, and policy-makers.
William Blake's Visions: Art, Hallucinations, Synaesthesia (Palgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine)
by David WorrallThis book is an inquiry into whether what Blake called his ‘visions’ can be attributed to recognizable perceptual phenomena. The conditions identified include visual hallucinations (some derived from migraine aura), and auditory and visual hallucinations derived from several types of synaesthesia. Over a long period of time, Blake has been celebrated as a ‘visionary,’ yet his ‘visions’ have not been discussed. Worrall draws on an understanding of neuroscience to examine both Blake’s visual art and writings, and discusses the lack of evidence pointing towards psychosis or pathological ill-health, thus questioning the rumours pertaining to Blake’s insanity.
William James, MD: Philosopher, Psychologist, Physician
by Emma K. SuttonThe first book to map William James’s preoccupation with medical ideas, concerns, and values across the breadth of his work. William James is known as a nineteenth-century philosopher, psychologist, and psychical researcher. Less well-known is how his interest in medicine influenced his life and work, driving his ambition to change the way American society conceived of itself in body, mind, and soul. William James, MD offers an account of the development and cultural significance of James’s ideas and works, and establishes, for the first time, the relevance of medical themes to his major lines of thought. James lived at a time when old assumptions about faith and the moral and religious possibilities for human worth and redemption were increasingly displaced by a concern with the medically “normal” and the perfectibility of the body. Woven into treatises that warned against humanity’s decline, these ideas were part of the eugenics movement and reflected a growing social stigma attached to illness and invalidism, a disturbing intellectual current in which James felt personally implicated. Most chronicles of James’s life have portrayed a distressed young man, who then endured a psychological or spiritual crisis to emerge as a mature thinker who threw off his pallor of mental sickness for good. In contrast, Emma K. Sutton draws on his personal correspondence, unpublished notebooks, and diaries to show that James considered himself a genuine invalid to the end of his days. Sutton makes the compelling case that his philosophizing was not an abstract occupation but an impassioned response to his own life experiences and challenges. To ignore the medical James is to misread James altogether.

Willow Weep for Me: A Black Woman's Journey Through Depression
by Nana-Ama DanquahThe first book to focus on Black women and depression, through the author’s “absorbing and inspirational” (Washington Post) personal journey. When Nana-Ama Danquah, a twenty-two-year-old single mother, began to suffer from a variety of depressive symptoms after giving birth to her daughter, she thought she was going crazy. Determined to portray strength in a world that often undervalues Black women’s lives, she shrouded her debilitating despair in silence and denial. But when she befriends other Black women who suffer with depression, she finds the support she needs to confront the traumatic childhood events that lie beneath her grief. Twenty-five years after its initial publication, as best-selling author Andrew Solomon writes in an illuminating foreword, Willow Weep for Me “remains a brave book . . . but at the time of its writing it was humblingly audacious.” Also including an afterword from the author, this groundbreaking classic is a powerful meditation on courage and a litany for survival. “An important and moving memoir. [Danquah] describes beautifully her experiences with depression.” —Kay Redfield Jamison, author of An Unquiet Mind
