The Searching Mind in Medicine [antikvár]

Preface This book is based upon a series of talks given by experts in the External Services of the British Broadcasting Corporation, to whom I am indebted for permission to make use of them. Little of the originál talks survive, however, apart from the title of the book. This is largely due to the fact that advances are being made so rapidly these days that a series of talks such as this tends to be out of date by the time it is rewritten in book form. 1 must therefore accept full responsibility for the book, but at the same time I would like to express my gratitude to those who participated in the talks for the continuing inspiration and help which I have received from their scripts. The writing of this book has involved many fascinating hours spent in browsing through innumerable journals and books. To name all those authors to whom I am thus indebted is scarcely possible, but I would like to take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to them. If I have passed on to my readers a fraction of the pleasure and benefit I have derived from reading their originál papers and monographs, then I am more than satisfied. There are, however, two books I should like to mention, partly because I have made such full use of them, partly because they will prove of special interest to those of my readers who wish to obtain more detailed information. These are: Brain Memory Learning, by Dr. Ritchie Russell (Clarendon Press: Oxford University Press, 1959); and Behaviour and Physique, by Dr. R. W. Parnell (Edward Arnold (Publishers) Ltd., 1959).
