sequence of two parallel threads would have been much better. This quirk inevitably holds back, until after the EMI scanner, all the work of those who had CT in use clinically, albeit with radionuclides, before the prototype X-ray EMI scanner began to be used. It is thoroughly disappointing to see the UK work played down as "also rans", for example the work in Aberdeen is given only half a page...

At this fin-de-siècle, the “post” that was meant to mark off the modern, or perhaps to qualify it, has turned out to be a looking-glass of sorts, reviving engagements with the question of modernity. However, lurking in the shadows of this discourse is the “constitutive outside” that makes possible such narratives: tradition. In this article, I explore the question of modernity through the trope...

The book is, however, far more than a psychological study of the tuberculous. It is a meticulously conceived work about tuberculosis in France, with intriguing sidelights on the differing experiences of other European countries. Whereas in Spain and Italy, and elsewhere in Southern Europe, the disease was considered contagious and its victims treated as lepers, ideas were more ambiguous in Fran...

The text is a facsimile of the print edition. Gurr and others have demonstrated that the long-term development of homicide rates in Europe follows a U-shaped curve: There is a fairly steady (though non-linear) decline since the 17th century (or even earlier, in some regions) till the middle of the 20th century, and a fairly steady increase since the 1960s. It is tentatively assumed in this arti...

a la fin du xixe siècle, avec la crise du roman naturaliste, le genre romanesque tombe en disgrâce et ne reprendra son essor que quinze ans plus tard pour dominer tout le xxe siècle. certains romanciers demeurent encore fidèles aux lois traditionnelles du roman et ont l’intention de présenter des êtres vivants affrontant des circonstances que le lecteur juge réelles. chez un romancier tel que r...

'Scientists and Charlatans' (pp. 257-331), Gillispie goes on to show doctors endeavouring to define more clearly the contours of their profession by attacking what they saw as medical quacks. Entertaining full-dress treatments of the medical careers of Mesmer and Marat illuminate the general theme. Gillispie's general thesis is not, it is true, novel in regard to medical science. However, the b...

indecision and resistance to change all hindered plans set out so hopefully in Tenon's fifth memoir, with his vision of 'How splendid hospitals can be'. It is tempting to see parallels in some of the problems faced by Tenon in drawing up his reports and in the politics of the finance, administration and location of hospitals today. The recent Tomlinson Report on hospitals throws the same shadow...
