First appearance of this classic paper on the physiology of the muscles. - ""Classical description of the striated muscle"" (Garrison & Morton No. 542).Striated muscle fine structure began to be really understood following a comprehensive survey of the matter carried out by William Bowman in the late 1830s. The publications resulting from such a study, the first of which earned for the author a precocious election as Fellow of the Royal Society.""Bowman succeeded in establishing the true architecture of striated muscle fibres to the extent possible with the most advanced technology available in his day - explaining and eradicating alternative erroneous concepts in the process - but also in correctly describing the basic microstructural changes associated with contraction. In addition, although unrecognized by him or others at the time, his experiments with muscle provided direct evidence for the existence of a selectively permeable cell membrane - in the present meaning of the word - over half a century before its officially accepted discovery. Yet, in spite of these remarkable advances, Bowman arrived at the conclusion that the structure of striated muscle fibres is essentially irrelevant for the mechanism of contraction.""(Eugenio Frixione).

Une véritable mine de renseignements politiques et économiques, une année avant le fameux krach boursier de Wall Street. Les fines analyse de l'auteur sont frappantes pour l'historien de cette période. Du couloir de Dantzig, Bowman nous dit: “La séparation de la Prusse Orientale du reste de l'Allemagne troublera certainement la vie économique de la région” (p. 165).

Formed in 1993, the Austrian artist collective Gelitin is famed for its participatory works and events, which have followed somewhat in the tradition of Relational Aesthetics. This artist's book, done in the style of a children's book, marks a new development in their activities--not as an artist's book (of which they have produced several), nor as an irreverent, deadpan gesture of humor (ditto), but as a new take on the children's book. Not quite for children, Boring Island recounts the collective's 30-day adventure on a small island: there were animals, hunger, wind, waves, the sun blazed, it was stormy, and endlessly boring. The book describes Gelitin's adventures (or boring lack of adventures) in diaristic form, and is illustrated throughout with cartoonish watercolor drawings.
