I Awaken to Glory
Author: Horace Wells
Publisher: Watson Publishing International
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
"Horace Wells has come to be viewed over the years as an enigmatic figure. Owing to his death by suicide in early 1848, and his inability to participate in the debate that soon erupted over credit for the discovery of anesthesia, the literature on him is confused, fragmentary and incomplete. While he is considered by some to have been the most benevolent and ethically correct participant in the early anesthesia story, an idealist who believed that anesthesia should be "as free as the air we breathe," he has been characterized by others as "volatile," "erratic," "errant," and "wayward."" "In 1991, three years before the celebration of the sesquicentennial of Wells's discovery of inhalation anesthesia, the contributors to this volume decided that it was high time to dig deeper into the literature on Wells and on the early anesthesia controversy and attempt to present an accurate account of Wells and his role in ushering in the era of modern anesthesia. Out of their research has emerged I Awaken To Glory, a compilation of twelve essays which not only present a clearer picture of Wells's efforts in bringing about painless surgery, but also delve into many aspects of his life and character that have been largely ignored." "The initial essay in I Awaken To Glory reviews the period between 1800, when Humphry Davy suggested that nitrous oxide gas might prove useful in alleviating pain during surgical operations, and 1844, when Horace Wells was first to put Davy's observation to the test. It explores why it took forty-four years for this event to happen, and then reviews and explicates the momentous circumstances that afterwards led to the introduction of anesthesia into surgery. Two succeeding essays describe and analyze Horace Wells's dental practice for the very first time, also presenting in transcribed form his "Day Book A," perhaps the most complete record extant of dental office transactions in the United States at mid-century. Three essays discuss some of the people who played an integral part in Wells's life: his wife Elizabeth; John M. Riggs, who performed on Wells the first operation under nitrous oxide anesthesia; and Christopher Starr Brewster, the American dentist in Paris who espoused Wells's cause in France. Other essays are devoted to Wells's twentieth-century biographer, W. Harry Archer, who, with his wife, preserved the manuscripts which remain the chief sources for documenting Horace Wells's life; the reception of Wells's discovery in Great Britain; the pictorial iconography of Wells; and his depictions in sculpture and three dimensional art. A number of portraits of Wells and his wife within have not been reproduced before, and several important documents also appear in print for the very first time." "With the publication of I Awaken To Glory we now have a more perfect reconstruction of Wells the discoverer, Wells the scientist, Wells the inventor, Wells the dentist, Wells the humanist, and - last, but not least - Wells the man. The materials in this volume combine with W. Harry Archer's "Life and Letters of Horace Wells" to comprise the definitive documentation of Wells and his extraordinary contribution to medicine."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The English Bach Awakening
Author: Michael Kassler
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135154487X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 501
Book Description
The English Bach Awakening concerns the introduction into England of J.S. Bach's music and information about him. Hitherto this subject has been called 'the English Bach revival', but that is a misnomer. 'Revival' implies prior life, yet no reference to Bach or to his music is known to have been made in England during his lifetime (1685-1750). The book begins with a comprehensive chronology of the English Bach Awakening. Eight chapters follow, written by Dr Philip Olleson, Dr Yo Tomita and the editor, Michael Kassler, which treat particular parts of the Awakening and show how they developed. A focus of the book is the history of the manuscripts and the printed editions of Bach's '48' - The Well-tempered Clavier - in England at this time, and its culmination in the 'analysed' edition that Samuel Wesley and Charles Frederick Horn published in 1810-1813 and later revised. Wesley's multifaceted role in the Bach Awakening is detailed, as are the several efforts that were made to translate Forkel's biography of Bach into English. A chapter is devoted to A.F.C. Kollmann's endeavour to prove the regularity of Bach's Chromatic Fantasy, and the book concludes with a discussion of portraits of Bach in England before 1830.

In Triumph's Wake
Author: Julia P. Gelardi
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1466823682
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 672
Book Description
The powerful and moving story of three royal mothers whose quest for power led to the downfall of their daughters. Queen Isabella of Castile, Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, and Queen Victoria of England were respected and admired rulers whose legacies continue to be felt today. Their daughters—Catherine of Aragon, Queen of England; Queen Marie Antoinette of France; and Vicky, the Empress Frederick of Germany—are equally legendary for the tragedies that befell them, their roles in history surpassed by their triumphant mothers. In Triumph's Wake is the first book to bring together the poignant stories of these mothers and daughters in a single narrative. Isabella of Castile forged a united Spain and presided over the discovery of the New World, Maria Theresa defeated her male rivals to claim the Imperial Crown, and Victoria presided over the British Empire. But, because of their ambition and political machinations, each mother pushed her daughter toward a marital alliance that resulted in disaster. Catherine of Aragon was cruelly abandoned by Henry VIII who cast her aside in search of a male heir and tore England away from the Pope. Marie Antoinette lost her head on the guillotine when France exploded into Revolution and the Reign of Terror. Vicky died grief-stricken, horrified at her inability to prevent her son, Kaiser Wilhelm, from setting Germany on a belligerent trajectory that eventually led to war. Exhaustively researched and utterly compelling, In Triumph's Wake is the story of three unusually strong women and the devastating consequences their decisions had on the lives of their equally extraordinary daughters.
