A propos de cet article

8vo. xiv, 785 pp. Frontispiece, illustrations. Original navy blue cloth, gilt-stamped spine, dust-jacket; spine faded, jacket spine ends chipped. Ownership signature of Dr. Murl E. Kinal. Bookplate of Harry B. Friedman. Very good in very good - jacket. FIRST EDITION of Cushing's monumental work on tumors arising from the meninges. Quintessential in its field, this monograph is widely considered to represent some of Cushing's finest work. "It remains the classic description of this group of tumors and continues to fascinate neurosurgeons the world over today" (Lee, p. 8). "The present treatise was commenced in 1915 soon after the completion of his volume on the pituitary disorders, and it therefore represents nearly twenty-five years of work; by common consent it is regarded as Dr. Cushing's greatest clinical monograph. It is the embodiment of all the things he has stood for during his career as a clinician: his painstaking case records and photographs, his unusual artistic ability evident in his own numerous operative sketches, and his extraordinary knowledge of the day-to-day life of his patients" (AANS, XIII, No. 24). "Meningiomas was hailed by reviewers as a masterpiece, a classic, an epic of neurosurgery, and proof of Cushing's stature 'as one of the great surgeons of all time. Geoffrey Jefferson observed that it contained a whole philosophy of surgery and of the doctor-patient relationship. . . .' The book was Cushing's last published word as a neurosurgeon" (Bliss, p. 510). "The improvement in neurosurgical outcomes at the turn of the 20th century was a result of more refined surgical technique, application of Lister's antiseptic principles, and more precise localization of tumor. Cushing's contributions were crucial to the advancement of intracranial surgery for meningioma and for that matter, all of neurosurgery in general" (Pamir, et al.). PROVENANCE: Friedman is a Memphis, TN neurosurgeon. Kinal (1918-1965) was a British physician whose parents emigrated from the Ukraine. He was part of the 1956 Congress of Neurological Surgeons in Chicago (listed under Erie, PA), and his name is listed among the Directory of Neurological Surgeons in the United States, 1961. He died of lung cancer two months after his 47th birthday. On Kinal: "My father was a great man of great achievements. He projected an integrity and vision so compelling that even today, 23 years after his death, people speak of him with a reverence belonging to historic heroes and saints. He was not a saint. On the contrary, his tremendous personal magnetism flowed from the fact that he was an ordinary man who did and said extraordinary things, who strove not to elevate himself above others but to inspire others to rise to their own maximum potential (Kinal, Brian).
