Claude Bernard (1813-1878) fue reconocido, en su propio tiempo, como uno de los gigantes de la ciencia, especialmente gracias a sus aportaciones a la fisiología, la rama de la medicina que hizo a ésta verdaderamente científica, esto es, compatible y basada en la física y la química. Si hay "clásicos" de la ciencia del XIX, ciertamente Bernard es uno de ellos. Introducción al estudio de la medicina experimental (1865) texto al que Louis Pasteur calificó "monumento en honor del método que ha constituido las ciencias físicas desde Galileo y Newton, y que Claude Bernard se esfuerza por introducir en la fisiología y en la patología. No se ha escrito nada más luminoso, más completo, más profundo sobre los verdaderos principios del difícil arte de la experimentación.

With a foreword by the translator. Ángel J. Cappelletti (1927–1995) was an Argentinian philosopher who taught at Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela. He is the author of over forty works primarily investigating philosophy and anarchism.

During the Depression, silicosis, an industrial lung disease, emerged as a national social crisis. Experts estimated that hundreds of thousands of workers were at risk of disease, disability, and death by inhaling silica in mines, foundries, and quarries. By the 1950s, however, silicosis was nearly forgotten by the media and health professionals. Asking what makes a health threat a public issue, David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz examine how a culture defines disease and how disease itself is understood at different moments in history. They also consider who should assume responsibility for occupational disease.
