About This Item
Cambridge: MIT Press, (1990).. First edition in English. Hardcover. Fine in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket is slightly edgeworn with a few closed tears to edges of jacket. A tight, clean and unmarked copy. 201pp. See Garrison & Morton 1287 for the first Spanish (1892) and first French editions (1894). "New Ideas on the Structure of the Nervous System in Man and Vertebrates" presents the histological evidence for the laws governing the form and connections of nerve cells. This work and the principles that emerged from it formed the cornerstone for our current understanding of how the nervous system is organized. The book also presents in simplified form the ideas contained in Cajal's famous survey of vertebrate neurohistology, Histologie du Systeme Nerveux de l'Homme et des Vertébrés, unquestionably the most important book ever published in neuroanatomy, and which to this day has not been translated and published in English because of its extraordinary length." (from the jacket).. ISBN: 026218141x.
