Genesis of Neuroscience relates the evolution of ideas in neuroscience up to the end of the 19th century as told by A. Earl Walker, MD. During his lifetime, Dr. Walker began compiling material for a book combining his love and knowledge of neuroscience and the history of the neurosciences. After his death, his widow and two former colleagues gathered together the many notes, file cards, and photographs that he had left. The result is a narrative that medical students will find informative and all physicians will find enlightening.Genesis of Neuroscience covers a vast array of topics from the origins of neuroscience to the manifestation of cerebral disorders: headache, epilepsy, sleep disorders and cerebrovascular disease and infections and inflammatory involvement of the CNS. This book is a "must-have" for any physician interested in the genesis of neuroscience as told by one of the pioneers in the specialty.(Distributed by Thieme for the American Association of Neurological Surgeons)

A Literary History of Southern California

In Jack London &amp; the Klondike Franklin Walker presents for the first time an accurate and detailed account of the young London's experiences in the famous gold rush that furnished the substance for his most successful books. His exciting winter in the Yukon is recreated through quotations from his fiction, travel diaries, and the testimony of his companions. First published in 1966, at a time when London was still regarded by many as little more than a writer of stories for children, this was to be the first of many studies of his outstanding contributions to literature. The book remains a definitive study of the most crucial phase of Jack London's career.
