Publicación de uno de los escasos testimonios autobiográficos que hasta el momento se han localizado de pensionados en el extranjero de la Junta para Ampliación de Estudios. Carmen Castilla (1895-1979), una maestra que habia establecido una estrecha relacion con Maria de Maeztu en la Residencia de Señoritas, en virtud de un acuerdo entre esta institucion y Smith College viajo a esta elitista universidad para mujeres de Massachusetts durante el curso 1921-1922 para enseñar español y estudiar zoologia, genetica y pedagogia. El diario que escribio durante esos meses, que se saca a luz con un amplio estudio introductorio, edicion critica y notas del profesor Santiago Lopez-Rios Moreno e ilustrado con numerosas fotografias ineditas, constituye un texto fascinante tanto como documento autobiografico femenino intimo como por su vision de la "America de las ilusiones".

Domingo Felipe Cabred fue un hombre eminente de su época. Alienista y psiquiatra organicista, la magnitud de su obra contrasta con la inexistencia de una obra, una biografía, que recoja de manera ordenada los principales datos de su vida. Partiendo de esa carencia, este libro se propone reconstruir su vida, repasando su infancia, sus años formativos, sus maestros, sus padrinos politicos, su experiencia europea, su regreso, sus primeros fracasos, la creacion de la Colonia Nacional de Alienados, sus imagenes y bases economicas, la presidencia de la Comision Nacional de Asilos y Hospitales Regionales, los homenajes a su obra y su inadaptacion final a la reforma universitaria. Aspectos todos que, reunidos, nos presentan un cuadro atrayente de una personalidad y una epoca cuya complejidad no alcanzan a ser comprendidas plenamente.

Down Memory Laneis a charming reflection on how life used to be lived, from the days of the Second World War up to the present.

Those were the days when the National Health Service was working at its best; where consultants were considered gods and matrons ruled the wards with no nonsense and an iron fist.Down Memory Lane is full of entertaining life stories that some will find reminiscent and others inspirational.

"Refreshing and eloquent" Libby Purves, The Times"Quins acute powers of observation vividly convey the hinterland of the modern general hospital A medical memoir for the Trainspotting generation." The Tablet***Surgeons cut, but physicians what do physicians actually do? And is it true that other doctors really call them the magicians?John Quin worked for thirty-three years as a physician for the NHS in both Scotland and England, specialising in endocrinology. Days on the wards were uproariously funny one minute, infinitely tragic the next.Starting with a stern lesson from the president of the British Society of Gastroenterologists that the younger doctor was not a f****** comedian, Dr Quin, Medicine Man is packed with vividly told tales of the joy and reward of getting the diagnosis right, the disaster of getting it wrong.Darkly amusing and with a keen eye for the absurd, this sharply observed memoir is not only an acute insight into the farcical frustrations and tensions of working in a chronically underfunded system but also a timely reminder of the humanity of the NHS staff who care for us.

Casi cien años han pasado desde entonces pero, en la actualidad, ¿que sabemos los uruguayos sobre aquel episodio? Una estatua ubicada en la Plaza de los Treinta y Tres, en el Centro montevideano, recuerda el momento mas famoso de aquella visita: el celebre encuentro mantenido en ese mismo sitio entre Einstein y el filosofo Carlos Vaz Ferreira. Sin embargo, es poco mas lo que se conoce, en terminos generales. ¿Que vino a hacer Einstein al Uruguay? ¿Quien lo invito a nuestro pais y por que? ¿Que personajes prominentes de la sociedad uruguaya conocio durante su estadia? ¿Donde se alojo? ¿Que actividades realizo durante la semana que permanecio en suelo uruguayo? ¿Que impresion dejo entre los compatriotas de 1925? E, inversa mente, ¿que opinion guardo luego de su paso por estas tierras? Estas son solo algunas de las preguntas que este libro aspira a responder.
