Spence reconstructs an extraordinary episode in the early intercourse between Europe and China. It is the story of John Hu, a lowly but devout Chinese Catholic who in 1722 accompanied a Jesuit missionary on a journey to France -- a journey that ended with Hu's confinement in a lunatic asylum. At once a triumph of historical detective work and a gripping narrative, The Question of Hu deftly probes the collision of two cultures, with their different definitions of faith, madness, and moral obligation. ; Jonathan D. Spence was born in Surrey, England on August 11, 1936. He received a B.A. in history from Clare College, Cambridge University and a M.A. and Ph.D. from Yale University. He was Sterling Professor of History at Yale University from 1993 to 2008. As a historian specializing in Chinese history, he wrote several books including The Search for Modern China, The Death of Woman Wang, and The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci. The Gate of Heavenly Peace won the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the Henry D.

Of humble birth, he lived for many years in obscurity and emerged only late in life as a national figure, deeply conservative and profoundly critical of the contemporary world. As a scientist, theologian, and pastoral leader, he was rooted in an English tradition going back beyond the Norman Conquest. This comprehensive study of one of England's great intellects by the late Sir Richard W. Southern of Oxford University is an important contribution to the history of ideas. ; Contents: Part I: Grosseteste and the European Scene -- 1. The Grosseteste problem -- I. Divergent views -- II.

Healy Rubens and the Judgement of Paris: A Question of Choice 343 p., incl. 8 colour + 170 b/w ill., 190 x 250 mm, 1997 ISBN: 978-2-503-50443-8 Languages: English Hardback The publication is available. Retail price: EUR 92,00 Ruben's renderings of the Judgement of Paris mark every stage in his career, so that this survey, including familiar and unfamiliar works, allows an insight into his entire artistic development. The Judgement of Paris - the tale of the shepherd-prince who gave Venus the prize in a beaty competition - was variously treated by classical writers and became a favourite theme for artists. No painter seems to have responded to the ancient story with more intelligence and entousiasm than Peter Paul Rubens, who devoted at least eight pictures to it. A Judgement of Paris marks every stage in Rubens'career, so that the present survey, which includes familiar and unfamiliar works, allows an insight into his entire artistic development. Since his illustrations of the subject were intended for a variety of contexts, this study also adresses many aspects of Rubens's practice and production, as well as touching on his later reputation. Rubens's response to the theme is also seen in relation to earlier literary and pictorial tradition. Paris's decision had set a problem for moralists - for his choice had led, indirectly, to the onset of the Trojan War. Some commentators held that the young man, who had two other goddesses to choose from, should have preferred Minerva, patron of learning, or at least had opted sensibly for wealth, in the person of Juno. Allegorical readings has some influence on the depiction and interpretation of the theme in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It is shown how Rubens came to favour the Venetian artistic convention which focussed on the moment prior to Paris's decision, thus effectively rejecting the interpretation of the Judgement as a moral condemnation. Rubens came to see the myth as a universal image of the problem of choice. But also, more specifically, he seems to have associated Paris with the artist as arbiter of beauty - the final theme explored in this illuminating book. Size: 190 x250 mm.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. Edition originale. 1 vol. in-8 (17 x 24,5 cm), LXXIV, 1077 pp., demi-percaline de l'éditeur, reliure légèrement défraîchie, intérieur en très bon état. Ce volume est en grande partie consacré à la rachianesthésie (les autres sujets traités lors de ce congrès, moins développés, concernent les résultats éloignés du traitement chirurgical de l'ulcère du duodénum, et les suites éloignés de la trépanation du crâne pour lésions traumatiques) . La rachianesthésie fit en effet l'objet d'un grand débat à ce Congrès de chirurgie. A la suite d'une vaste enquête internationale, Forgue et Basset établissent, dans ce rapport remarquable et devenu classique, les indications, les avantages et les contre-indications de la rachianesthésie. Ce rapport occupe les pages 199-367 de ce volume. Il existe, à la suite de ce rapport, de nombreuses communications de différents auteurs exposant leur expérience de la rachianesthésie (pp. 367-564). REFERENCES : Schulte am Esch J & ?Goerig M: The History of Anaesthesia: The Fourth International Symposium on the History of Anaesthesia, 1998, ?p. 493: "In 1928, the French Association of Surgery asked Professors Forgue and Basset to prepare a report on spinal anesthesia for its annual meeting. These rapporteurs collected 104 datasets including 222,467 cases treated with spinal anesthesia. THIS REMARKABLE REPORT WAS A LANDMARK IN THE HISTORY OF SPINAL ANESTHESIA."; Parsloe C: Deliberate total spinal anesthesia: proponents and techniques (1901-1948), International Congress Series, 2002, 1242, 169-172: "The first and subsequent spinal anesthesias were for operations on the lower extremity. Within 2 years, Tuffier used spinal to operate on the abdomen and kidney. Other surgeons began to explore the possibility of using deliberate total spinal anesthesia. In 1901, Morton described the use of spinal anesthesia for operations on all regions of the body. Le Filliâtre in 1901, Chaput in 1907, Jonnesco in 1908 and Koster in 1928 also used high levels of analgesia in what was called general spinal anesthesia. This was meant as distinctive from general inhalation anesthesia. It is remarkable that large series of operations on the thorax, neck and head were performed with deliberate total spinal anesthesia. After 1930, with admonition from Forgue and Basset, the use of total spinal anesthesia declined. They stated that the safety of spinal anesthesia resided in lower levels and suggested no total spinal, not even a high spinal, should be administered. The first anesthesiologists who used total spinal anesthesia for purposes of deliberate hypotension and decreased blood loss were Griffith and Gillies.".
