Book excerpt: "In this volume, two French physicians, Jacques Philippon and Jacques Poirier, analyze Joseph Babinski's great scientific achievements, explore his unique family history, and publish for the first time a complete bibliography of his publications." "This book chronicles his family's emigration from Poland to France, his tutelage and early career under great teachers such as Alfred Vulpian, Victor Cornil, and Jean-Martin Charcot at the Hopital de la Salpetriere in Paris, his methods and observations during his 17 years as department head at La Pitie, as well as the close and unique relationship with his brother Henri. Finally, Babinski's life and times can be accessed in one book."--BOOK JACKET.
