[Please see my five images of the actual book.] "As the director of a hospital for brain-injured soldiers [during World War I], my experiences compelled me to broaden the medical frame of reference to a more biological orientation. It soon became evident that only the biological approach is adequate to evaluate the changes which these suffering fellow men have undergone; moreover, the facts taught me that there was no other procedure available which could render aid, however imperfect, to these patients. The biological orientation and method which grew out of that practice also proved fruitful in long years of other medical work and research."---from the Preface. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage.
