Book Description
2019 celebrated the 150th anniversary of Mendeleev's first publication of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements. This book offers an original viewpoint on the history of the Periodic Table: a collective volume with short illustrated papers on women and their contribution to the building and the understanding of the Periodic Table and of the elements themselves. Few existing texts deal with women's contributions to the Periodic Table. A book on women's work not only helps make historical women chemists more visible; it also sheds light on the multifaceted character of the work on the chemical elements and their periodic relationships. Stories of female input contribute to the understanding of the nature of science, of collaboration as opposed to the traditional depiction of the lone genius.While the discovery of elements is a natural part of this collective work, the book goes beyond discovery histories. Stories of women contributors to the chemistry of the elements also include understanding the concept of element, identifying properties, developing analytical methods, mapping the radioactive series, finding applications of elements, and the participation of women as audiences when new elements were presented at lectures.The book contains chapters on pre-periodic table contributions as well as recent discoveries, unknown stories as well as more famous ones, with an emphasis on work conducted in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Elements from different groups in the periodic table are included, so as to represent a variety of chemical contexts.

Book Description
From Popular Medicine to Medical Populism presents the history of medical practice in Costa Rica from the late colonial era—when none of the fifty thousand inhabitants had access to a titled physician, pharmacist, or midwife—to the 1940s, when the figure of the qualified medical doctor was part of everyday life for many of Costa Rica’s nearly one million citizens. It is the first book to chronicle the history of all healers, both professional and popular, in a Latin American country during the national period. Steven Palmer breaks with the view of popular and professional medicine as polar opposites—where popular medicine is seen as representative of the authentic local community and as synonymous with oral tradition and religious and magical beliefs and professional medicine as advancing neocolonial interests through the work of secular, trained academicians. Arguing that there was significant and formative overlap between these two forms of medicine, Palmer shows that the relationship between practitioners of each was marked by coexistence, complementarity, and dialogue as often as it was by rivalry. Palmer explains that while the professionalization of medical practice was intricately connected to the nation-building process, the Costa Rican state never consistently displayed an interest in suppressing the practice of popular medicine. In fact, it persistently found both tacit and explicit ways to allow untitled healers to practice. Using empirical and archival research to bring people (such as the famous healer or curandero Professor Carlos Carbell), events, and institutions (including the Rockefeller Foundation) to life, From Popular Medicine to Medical Populism demonstrates that it was through everyday acts of negotiation among agents of the state, medical professionals, and popular practitioners that the contours of Costa Rica’s modern, heterogeneous health care system were established.

Book Description
El congreso internacional sobre Wittgenstein y el Círculo de Viena (Toledo, 2-5 de noviembre de 1994) significó un hito para la investigación española sobre la relación habida entre Wittgenstein y el Círculo de Viena. Se lograba congregar en la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, en el Campus de Toledo, a 19 filósofos aleman es, austriacos, brasileños, españoles, estadounidenses, húngaros, ingleses y portugueses para que discutieran sobre las influencias de la obra de Wittgenstein en el Círculo de Viena, la influencia de Menger en Antonio I. Flores de Lemus y los trabajos realizados por K.R. Popper. Las ponencias publicadas en este libro constituyen un documento de primer orden, en el que se analizan, desde las relaciones entre el filósofo vienés y el Círculo, la obra de Carnap, la obra de O. Neurath, la obra de Wittgenstein y su concepción del mundo, el fundamento prerracional de nuestra forma de vida, la competencia lingüística, lo que entiende por filosofía y es considerado como un filósofo de la oralidad. ¿Qué sería la matemática sin su historia? En este apartado se investigan los avances llevados a cabo por A.I. Flores de Lemus y el papel de los problemas de realizabilidad e invarianza de la dimensión. Finalmente, se hace un balance de la obra de K. R. Popper desde un punto de vista histórico y sistemático.
