ISBN: 052127382x "Mystical Bedlam explores the social history of insanity of early seventeenth-century England by means of a detailed analysis of the records of Richard Napier, a clergyman and astrological physician, who treated over 2000 mentally disturbed patients between 1597 and 1634. Napier's clients were drawn from every social rank and his therapeutic techniques included all the types of psychological healing practised at the time. His vivid descriptions of his clients' afflictions and complaints illuminate the thoughts and feelings of ordinary people. This book goes beyond simply analysing mental disorder in a seventeenth-century astrological and medical practice. It reveals contemporary attitudes towards family life, describes the appeal of witchcraft and demonology to ordinary villagers, and explains the social and intellectual basis for the… Read More

Abstract: "A theoretical discussion of the spectra of the decay products of K/sub OMEGA 3/ and K/sub e3/ was carried out to obtain information on strangeness violating weak interactions. It is shown that there exists an angular correlation (dT/d cos alpha ) between the direction of the neutrino momentum in the center of mass system of the lepton pair and the direction of the pion. This angular correlation is quadratic in cos alpha independently of the structure of the form factors and provides the best means of identification of the type of coupling. Additional information concerning particularly to the form factor structure can be learned from the pion spectrum. A quantitative test, independent of the form factors, of the universality of the muon and electron interaction is suggested. Some quantitative properties of the electron spectrum in K/sub e3/-decay, independent… Read More

Throughout his life Macewen devoted much time to the study of bone growth. Macewen became interested in the biology of bone and carried out a long and critical series of experiments on animals in order to determine the manner in which bones grow and the conditions underlying their repair. He came to the conclusion that the membrane which covers bone (periosteum) cannot produce bone. He published an account of his inquiries in The growth of bone. His researches revolutionized ideas concerning osteogenesis. Garrison and Morton 656.1.
