Book Synopsis The Phantom Museum by : Peter Blegvad
Download or read book The Phantom Museum written by Peter Blegvad and published by Profile Books(GB). This book was released on 2003 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New and innovative writing inspired by the medical, scientific and sometimes downright extraordinary contents of Henry Wellcome's remarkable museum. Within this unusual and arresting book is a powerhouse of imagination created by a dazzling array of the finest writers. The Phantom Museum offers personal responses by A. S. Byatt, Tobias Hill, Peter Blegvad, Hari Kunzru, Helen Cleary and Gaby Wood to the extraordinary and little-known collection of the businessman and philanthropist Sir Henry Wellcome. Wellcome was fascinated by anthropology and the history of medicine. By the time he died in 1936, he had built up one of the world's largest and most unusual museum collections. The objects Wellcome brought together range from the ancient to the magical, from the religious to the scientific. Beautiful, mysterious or bizarre, they all illuminate the history of human beings and their bodies. Playful, disturbing and thought-provoking by turns, The Phantom Museum combines text and images, fact and fiction, comment and imagination to consider how objects can be read depending on who views them and when. Published to coincide with a major new exhibition of Wellcome's collection, this is a lasting introduction to its wonders, and a remarkable collection of new and original writing.

Book Synopsis The Book of Human Emotions by : Tiffany Watt Smith
Download or read book The Book of Human Emotions written by Tiffany Watt Smith and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoughtful, gleeful encyclopedia of emotions, both broad and outrageously specific, from throughout history and around the world. How do you feel today? Is your heart fluttering in anticipation? Your stomach tight with nerves? Are you falling in love? Feeling a bit miffed? Do you have the heebie-jeebies? Are you antsy with iktsuarpok or filled with nakhes? Recent research suggests there are only six basic emotions. But if that makes you feel uneasy, suspicious, and maybe even a little bereft, THE BOOK OF HUMAN EMOTIONS is for you. In this unique book, you'll get to travel across the world and through time, learning how different cultures have articulated the human experience and picking up some fascinating new knowledge about yourself along the way. From the familiar (anger) to the foreign (zal), each entertaining and informative alphabetical entry reveals the surprising connections and fascinating facts behind our emotional lives. Whether you're in search of the perfect word to sum up that cozy feeling you get from being inside on a cold winter's night, surrounded by friends and good food (what the Dutch call gezelligheid), or wondering how nostalgia evolved from a fatal illness to enjoyable self-indulgence, Tiffany Watt Smith draws on history, anthropology, science, art, literature, music, and popular culture to find the answers. In reading THE BOOK OF HUMAN EMOTIONS, you'll discover feelings you never knew you had (like basorexia, the sudden urge to kiss someone) and gain unexpected insights into why you feel the way you do. Besides, aren't you curious what nginyiwarrarringu means?

Bembridge, a retired Trust scientist, have written this lucid and well informed account which charts the development of the organisation from its inception in 1936 to the present day.

The Wellcome Trust has had an enormous impact on medical research over the years.

Book Synopsis Burroughs Wellcome in the USA and the Wellcome Trust by : Roy Church
Download or read book Burroughs Wellcome in the USA and the Wellcome Trust written by Roy Church and published by Carnegie Pub.. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burroughs Wellcome (USA) Inc. is an American company which began as the small New York sales branch of the medium-sized Burroughs Wellcome & Co., established in London by American pharmacists Henry Wellcome and Silas Burroughs. From 1936 the entire Burroughs Wellcome business organization was owned by the Wellcome Trust, founded by Sir Henry Wellcome, one of the most fascinating men of his time. In 1995 Glaxo merged with Wellcome to become Glaxo Wellcome, and just 5 years later it in turn merged with SmithKline Beecham to form the pharmaceutical giant Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK). Concentrating on the story of the New York-based Burroughs Wellcome USA Inc., Roy Church's masterly history analyses the scientiÿ c research and product innovation in which - in contrast to the parent company - the subsidiary in the US excelled by way of the discovery and development, during the 1980s, of the antiviral drug, Zovirax for the treatment of herpes, and the antiretroviral, Retrovir. The wealth which Wellcome's companies had created ensured that the future lay with the Wellcome Trust (UK) and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund (US) which continue to perpetuate the Imprint: Crucible Books name of its founder and to fulfill his philanthropic ideals in the twenty-first century on a scale which he could not have imagined.
