The true absorbing and sometimes frightening documentary of the world's most successful narcotics investigation The French Connection is one of the most fascinating crime accounts of our time. When New York City detectives Eddie "Popeye" Egan and his partner Sonny Grosso routinely tail Pasquale "Patsy" Fuca after observing some wild spending at the Copacabana they quickly realize that they are on to something really big. Patsy is not only the nephew of a mob boss on the lam but also a key negotiator in an impending delivery of narcotics from abroad. His incongruous connections are with several distinguished Frenchmen including Jean Jehan the director of the world's largest heroin network and Jacques Angelvin a star of French television.

185319979Paris: J.-B. Baillière 1853. tlas with 45 plates 26 hand-colored. Text volumes in original printed wrappers atlas in original printed boards rebacked with corners worn. Ownership signature on the atlas of F.A. Alves with his small stamp on title. Francisco Antonio Alves 1832-1873 was chair of physiology and medicine at the University of Coimbra in Portugal and a co-author of a paper on chemical analyses of the water of Coimbra in 1871. First edition of this pioneering work in biochemistry. Robin sought to advance his belief that the future of biological research lay in chemical not cellular analysis. Written in collaboration with the chemist F. Verdeil the book analyzes and compares the different components of human and animal tissues. The atlas depicts some twelve hundred crystalline forms of these compounds as they appear under the microscope. “For him Robin the real seat of life was constituted by the humoral parts of the organism. Beyond the fixed anatomical elements there must be he thought a molecular organization that explained the morphology. In his opinion therefore microscopic investigation was only a stage of biological research and must be followed by chemical analysis.â€<br /> <br /> Robin 1821-1885 was one of the great micrographers of the nineteenth century. He studied medicine at the Faculté de Médécine in Paris where he assumed the chair in natural history. A protégé of Auguste Comte he was won over to the idea of a general science of biology and helped to create the Société de Biologie to promote biological research in France. The Société wanted to distance themselves from what they perceived as the excessively narrow and practical focus of the mainstream of the Paris clinical school. “What is visible at least in the Société’s stated program is an unmistakable shift in the balance between physiology and pathology and between pure science and its applications in the medical art†Lesch. A prolific author Robin’s influence waned with his reluctance to accept later advances in cellular biology such as the discoveries of Pasteur and Virchow. Verdeil was an organic chemist who studied with Liebig publishing his first paper in 1846.<br /> <br /> Bullock History of bacteriology 1938 392; DSB XI 491-492; Hirsch IV 839; Lesch Science and medicine in France 1984 222-224; Waller 8054.
