The early endeavors of the Harris Orthopaedic Lab contributed
significantly to widely diverse aspects such as the first human
limb replantation, osteoporosis, the cause of osteoarthritis of the
hip, and the environment of human articular cartilage. Subsequent
years were focused on improving total hip replacement surgery,
reducing its most common and devastating problems. These ranged
from fatal pulmonary emboli thru poor implant design to solutions
for arthritis from total developmental dislocation, and finally to
unraveling the mysteries of and ultimately to the elimination of a
strange and dreaded, world wide disease which destroyed the bone
around total hip replacements in a million patients. Results: His
works have contributed to extensive improvement in musculoskeletal
disease including to the the reduction in nearly every major
complication of total hip surgery by an order of magnitude.
The Principles of Psychology Volume 1, complete with William James'
original notes, illustrations, tables and charts clarifying the
theory described and arguments made. Appearing in 1890, The
Principles of Psychology was a landmark text which established
psychology as a serious scientific discipline. William James'
compiled a convincing, lengthy and broad thesis, devoting detail
and vigorous analysis in every chapter. The text's
comprehensiveness and superb presentation played a pivotal role in
bringing the science of mental health closer toward the scholarly
mainstream. The entire book is set out intuitively: there are two
volumes, each of which has a certain number of chapters. While some
chapters have sub-sections, James is careful not to make his
textbook dry or convoluted in organisation. Each chapter
introduces, discusses and concludes on a particular subject -
whether it be the role of psychology as an academic and medical
discipline, or the various functions of the human brain.
