Quite explicitly, the author sets out to apply the methods of Foucault to the analysis of conceptual change within medicine in the present century. Although not a slavish imitation of Foucault, the hand and name of the master are never far from sight. But the book is also sufficiently original and scholarly to be refreshing and challenging to both sociologists and historians' (Charles Webster, Med Hist. 1984 July; 28(3): 335 336).

Out of print in cloth; in print in paperback at US$43.00. Edmund S. Phelps: Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, 2006, 'for his analysis of intertemporal tradeoffs in macroeconomic policy.' 'Last but not least, positing rational expectations equilibrium is not just inaccurate as a way to close the model in the same sense as postulating rational choice is taken to be inaccurate: It is inappropriate to impose on the model. In a highly innovative economy and thus one subject to change, firms even firms in the same industry and location are all thinking differently. So a firm would have no grounds to reason, as it implicitly does in rational-expectations theory, that 'since I have calculated I must raise my wages by x percent, I should now take into account that my competitors are planning to do the same; so I must now adjust my wage increase even more .' This kind of inductive reasoning to arrive at the right expectations is inapplicable. That is the thesis of my piece (Phelps, 1983) in the Frydman-Phelps volume [offered here]' (Phelps, 'Macroeconomics for a Modern Economy', Nobel Lecture, Dec. 8, 2006). Contents: Preface; 1.

A 'collection of essays which have aroused considerable interest, since their publication in 1983, in a question that has been occupying scholars for many years: what did fourteenth-century Italy and its literature mean to Chaucer? In the first part of the book contributors assess the general state of English and Italian culture in the fourteenth century and the complex network of Anglo-Italian relationships in the areas of trade, finance, church organisation and academic exchange. The second part faces the literary problem that Chaucer's borrowing from Italian authors poses: not only what he takes, but how and why. These essays include source studies and comparative analyses of such masterpieces as The Divine Comedy, The Canzoniere, The Decameron and The Canterbury Tales.'.

'Editors Laurie Brown and Lillian Hoddeson have brought together a distinctive collection of essays, discussions, and personal descriptions of the evolution of particle physics based on the presentations and discussions at the May, 1980 International Symposium on the History of Particle Physics, held at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. This collection focuses primarily on the development of cosmic-ray physics and quantum field theory in the 1930s and 1940s, before the advent of the great postwar accelerators, and draws on research conducted in the United States, Italy, Japan, Great Britain, Germany, France, and the USSR.'.

Frontispiece, x, 210 pp; 53 figs. + additional figs. in Appendices (see below). Original cloth. Cabot embossed stamp on title page, ink stamp on verso of title page ('Received January 17 1984') and on top and bottom edge. Else Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. In his introduction, Gowing mentions Cohen's Introduction to Newton's Principia as one of two 'exellent and detialed' commentaries, along with A. Rupert Hall & Laura Trilling's Introduction to Vol. V of Newton's Correspondence. Appendix I (143-185; 34 figs.) = English translation of Logometria (p. 142 illustrates the title page of the Trinity College Library copy, with the famous note, 'Isaac Newton, speaking of Mr. Cotes, said 'If he had lived we might have known something'). Pp. 187-191, 2 figs. = Commentary on Proposition IV of Logmetria. Pp. 191-194, 1 fig. = Cotes' eighteen forms of fluents. Pp. 195-203, 3 figs. = Logometria, Part III, Problem X: The cotes spirals and related orbits. Pp. 205-206, 1 fig. = A manuscript in Trinity College Library, Cambridge. The fig. reproduces MS 1 17 12 20, 'Instruments in Trinity college Library, Cambridge, 20 October 1704'. 'Roger Cotes (16821716) was the first Plumian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy, at Trinity College, Cambridge. One of the most distinguished, and certainly one of the most ardent, of the early Newtonians he did important work in mathematics and astronomy and edited the second edition of Newton's Principia. Cotes died young and published only one paper, the Logometria, during his lifetime; a translation of this paper is given in the Appendix. Most of Cotes's papers were published posthumously in Latin in Harmonia Mensurarum in 1722. Dr Gowing discusses Cotes' work in some detail but has written the work in such a way that the more technical aspects of the mathematics can be omitted at first reading whilst still giving a clear idea of Cotes' achievement. Cotes' work was significant but his full potential was unrealised; in Newton's reputed words: 'If he had lived, we might have known something' ' (Cambridge University Press Web site). Contents: Preface; Introduction; 1. Cotes as first Plumian Professor, and as editor of Newton's Principia; 2. Logometria; 3. New methods in the calculus; 4. Cote's factorisation theorem; 5. Astronomy; 6. Numerical methods; 7. The missing works; 8. Conclusion; Appendices; Select bibliography; Index.

Near Fine, in an extremely sunned but otherwise near fine dust jacket. Kimura 'was a Japanese biologist best known for introducing the neutral theory of molecular evolution in 1968. He became one of the most influential theoretical population geneticists. He is remembered in genetics for his innovative use of diffusion equations to calculate the probability of fixation of beneficial, deleterious, or neutral alleles. Combining theoretical population genetics with molecular evolution data, he also developed the neutral theory of molecular evolution in which genetic drift is the main force changing allele frequencies. James F. Crow, himself a renowned population geneticist, considered Kimura to be one of the two greatest evolutionary geneticists, along with Gustave Malécot, after the great trio of the modern synthesis (Haldane, Wright, Fisher)' (Wikipedia).
