Opera di PIETRO MANNI Dottore di Medicina e Chirurgia, Professore nell’Archiginnasio Romano, Socio di Molte Primarie Accademie Italiane ed Estere, ec. ec.
Brossura editoriale a stampa, cm15x23.5, pp XXVII (1) 236; VIII tavole ripiegate in fine.

L’Autore, medico ostetrico, consacrò i suoi studi alla rianimazione e alla morte apparente dopo la scomparsa del fratello, cui l’opera è dedicata. Il volume tratta di tecniche e strumenti per il soccorso d’emergenza e la rianimazione (tracheotomia, insufflazione, scossa elettrica..), delle diverse cause di asfissia o di morte apparente (annegamento, strangolamento, cause professionali quali gas di miniera, vino, birra ecc, assideramento, fulminazione ecc) e dei metodi per accertare il decesso o procedere alla rianimazione. In conclusione alcune tavole dedicate alla pila elettrica (per rianimare con scossa, tecnica per la quale l’autore raccomanda cautela) e ad altri strumenti, e una interessante descrizione di un Kit di primo soccorso degli asfittici, sia esso un Astuccio portatile o una più voluminosa cassetta.

Murphy, Christopher Leo; Taylor, John K.(editor)
Facts, Fiction & Philately - United States of America & Canada
145 pages including index. A collection of historic curiosities that are, or may be, associated with North American postage stamps. For the stories presented in this work, numerous dusty history books and reference works have been researched for those little "gems" of information that present the "other side" to generally accepted beliefs and conceptions. Very often, historic information is based on what others wish us to believe rather than the truth. It is only through the passage of time that the shroud of deception wears thin and mouths silenced in death "speak from their graves" in tattered letters and faded diaries. Adds a new dimension to topical stamp collecting by introducting "Philatelic Curiosities" - strange, unusual and bizarre facts associated with postage stamps. Illustrated in black and white. Clean and unmarked with very light wear. Excellent copy. Book
