Il più grande fisiologo francese racconta in modo vivace, semplice, accurato, divertente la storia delle scoperte e delle ipotesi sul cervello – dalla ghiandola pineale di Cartesio fino alle neuroscienze degli ultimi anni. Questo organo – fondamentale quanto il cuore per la sopravvivenza e la vita – è rimasto a lungo misteriosissimo perché il cervello, a differenza di altri organi, non rivela nulla all’esame autoptico: ha bisogno di essere letto con microscopi, di essere indagato con risonanze magnetiche e Tac. È per questo che le grandi scoperte sono avvenute negli ultimi cinquant’anni, da quando si può entrare nella testa con strumenti che fotografano l’attività cerebrale, e la microchirurgia ha fatto passi da gigante.
Dutch Baritonist Per Goldscmidt's albums won't having you throw out your Mulligan, Shihab, or Brignola collection but for those of you who like Baritone post bop he's definitely underrecognized. But musicians know him and it is evidenced by who's along with him on this quartet outting including younger Dutch ace Nils Lan Doky on keys,Lonnie Plaxico on bass,and legend Jack Dejohnette on skins.I'd run a lengthy run down but let's say it's a solid CD good writing on original tunes. But pick this one after you have gotten the CD Tribute To Frank Sinatra.Incredible NHOP there and tunes that played in manner that might make both Frank and Nelson Riddle have the hair on there necks stand up on end.This CD here has same energy and ace playing but the use of otherwise familiar tunes turned into charging hard bop romps is a touch above.
