Contact seller5-star sellerMedawar, Peter Brian, 1915-1987. Memoir of a thinking radish: an autobiography. Oxford ; New York: Oxford University Press, 1986, 1st edition, 209pp., very good dust-jacket but slightly wavy along front panel, very good black cloth, attractive copy. "He's tart, tough-minded, terribly British.an imposing grand master of aphorism,… argument and lightning-bolt one-liners." So Newsweek writer wrote of Sir Peter Medawar, the renowned British immunologist. "The most accomplished writer of popular-science essays," declared the Philadelphia Inquirer. Now this Nobel Prize-winning scientist and highly acclaimed author of Pluto's Republic, Aristotle to Zoos, and many other books has written a fascinating account of his own life. The image of man as a cross between Pascal's "thinking reed" and Falstaff's "forked radish," expressed in the title of Sir Peter's autobiography, stems from his humble desire "not to claim for myself as an author any distinction more extravagant than membership of the human race." But it is an exceptional life that unfolds in the pages of this incisive and witty memoir. Sir Peter describes his early years in Rio de Janiero, "the rude and barbaric life of Marlborough," Oxford in 1930s, his illnesses and recovery, and the rewards and frustrations of work in a wide variety of academic institutions around the world. Rich anecdotes abound--his early school days and family life, his musical education, his wife Jean and their family, his frequent visits to America, and much more. A sheer delight to read, this highly personal account illuminates the life of one of the most engaging and impressive men of out time -- CONTENTS: Very early years -- School -- Oxford -- Early research -- Flashbacks -- Birmingham -- University College London -- The National Institute for Medical Research -- Jean -- On living a bit longer. 9780192177377 ISBN 0192177370.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Este es un libro que ha sido escrito, en buena parte, en contra de los mitos prevalecientes alrededor de la figura de los científicos, de la leyenda de su genio y su superioridad innata respecto a los demás seres humanos. Medawar galardonado en 1960 con el Premio Nobel por sus trabajos d…e investigación clínica sobre tejidos orgánicos reivindica los valores del sentido común y de la curiosidad como fundamentales para las labores de la ciencia. Pocos consejeros tan sabios, sencillos, y al mismo tiempo profundamente humanistas, podría encontrar el joven científico al que hace referencia el título. En este libro se habla de varias cosas que interesarán al investigador que se inicia en la ciencia: cómo escoger un tema de trabajo; de qué modo tratar a los colegas, a los especialistas más viejos y a los administradores; cuál es la mejor manera de presentar los propios trabajos, etc. Obras como Consejos a un joven científico constituyen los puentes más sólidos entre la tradición humanística y la científica, separadas por prejuicios e incomprensiones que hay que combatir siempre con la misma admirable energía, el talento y la sagacidad de hombres como P. B. Medawar. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.
