A triumphant memoir by the former editor-in-chief of French Elle that reveals an indomitable spirit and celebrates the liberating power of consciousness. In 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby was the editor-in-chief of French Elle, the father of two young children, a 44-year-old man known and loved for his wit, his style, and his impassioned approach to life. By the end of the year he was also the victim of a rare kind of stroke to the brainstem. After 20 days in a coma, Bauby awoke into a body which had all but stopped working: only his left eye functioned, allowing him to see and, by blinking it, to make clear that his mind was unimpaired. Almost miraculously, he was soon able to express himself in the richest detail: dictating a word at a time, blinking to select each letter as the alphabet was recited to him slowly, over and over again. In the same way, he was able eventually to compose this extraordinary book. By turns wistful, mischievous, angry, and witty, Bauby bears witness to his determination to live as fully in his mind as he had been able to do in his body. He explains the joy, and deep sadness, of seeing his children and of hearing his aged father's voice on the phone. In magical sequences, he imagines traveling to other places and times and of lying next to the woman he loves. Fed only intravenously, he imagines preparing and tasting the full flavor of delectable dishes. Again and again he returns to an "inexhaustible reservoir of sensations," keeping in touch with himself and the life around him. Jean-Dominique Bauby died two days after the French publication of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. This book is a lasting testament to his life.

Consciousness is one of the most significant scientific problems today. Renewed interest in the nature of consciousness - a phenomenon long considered not to be scientifically explorable, as well as increasingly widespread availability of multimodal functional brain imaging techniques (EEG, ERP, MEG, fMRI and PET), now offer the possibility of detailed, integrated exploration of the neural, behavioral, and computational correlates of consciousness. The present volume aims to confront the latest theoretical insights in the scientific study of human consciousness with the most recent behavioral, neuroimaging, electrophysiological, pharmacological and neuropathological data on brain function in altered states of consciousness such as: brain death, coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state, locked-in syndrome, dementia, epilepsy, schizophrenia, hysteria, general anesthesia, sleep, hypnosis, and hallucinations. The interest of this is threefold. First, patients with altered states of consciousness continue to represent a major clinical problem in terms of clinical assessment of consciousness and daily management. Second, the exploration of brain function in altered states of consciousness represents a unique lesional approach to the scientific study of consciousness and adds to the worldwide effort to identify the "neural correlate of consciousness". Third, new scientific insights in this field have major ethical and social implications regarding our care for these patients.

À ma Mère pour son don de vie, ses sacrifices et son amour inconditionnel. La mort d’une Mère est le premier chagrin qu’on pleure sans elle. Le Scaphandre du pouvoir représente le deuxième roman de la trilogie des «Mémoires», dont le premier - Mémoires d’un étranger sans pays : L’Exil - raconte l’histoire de mon enfance à Alexandrie et au Liban. J’ai voulu écrire L’Exil pour rendre hommage à ma mère qui a réussi contre vents et marées, sans un mari ni le sou, à me donner la chance d’une vie meilleure. Dans la région du Moyen-Orient et à une époque où la femme était entièrement démunie, ma mère a surmonté tous les obstacles et survécu pour le bien-être de son fils unique. Le Scaphandre du pouvoir raconte l’histoire de trois amis à la recherche d’une identité, d’un pays, d’une vie. C’est aussi l’histoire de mon pays d’origine, Le Liban, qui sombra pendant quinze ans dans une guerre civile absurde et meurtrière où les belligérants ont fait preuve d’une hostilité sans bornes. Le pouvoir religieux, politique et militaire ne doit pas engendrer le ressentiment et la violence. Il doit non seulement respecter la minorité, mais surtout protéger les plus faibles et les plus démunis. Les plus grandes victimes des actes de nettoyage ethnique et religieux sont souvent les civils, particulièrement les femmes et les enfants. La blessure qu’a laissée cette guerre est béante et prendra plusieurs générations avant de se cicatriser. Rico, émigre au Canada avec sa mère monoparentale, échappant de justesse à la guerre civile. Adolescent, il tente de s’adapter à son nouvel environnement et à se forger un avenir dans son pays d’adoption. Réussira-t-il à vivre le grand rêve nord-Américain? Johnny, jeune adolescent, grandit dans les entrailles de la guerre civile. Refusant de prendre les armes, il échappe in extremis à la conscription forcée. Enfant de la rue, il use de ruses et d’ingéniosité pour survivre. À bout de souffle, il prend le risque de fuir illégalement au Canada. Rami, ami d’enfance de Rico, s’enflamme pour la cause de son pays et prend les armes pour combattre aux côtés de la milice chrétienne. Désenchanté par la tournure absurde que prend cette guerre fratricide, il abandonne la lutte armée. Échappant de justesse à la mort, il décide d’émigrer au Canada pour trouver une vie meilleure.

The second edition of The Neurology of Consciousness is a comprehensive update of this ground-breaking work on human consciousness, the first book in this area to summarize the neuroanatomical and functional underpinnings of consciousness by emphasizing a lesional approach offered by the study of neurological patients. Since the publication of the first edition in 2009, new methodologies have made consciousness much more accessible scientifically, and, in particular, the study of disorders, disruptions, and disturbances of consciousness has added tremendously to our understanding of the biological basis of human consciousness. The publication of a new edition is both critical and timely for continued understanding of the field of consciousness. In this critical and timely update, revised and new contributions by internationally renowned researchers—edited by the leaders in the field of consciousness research—provide a unique and comprehensive focus on human consciousness. The new edition of The Neurobiology of Consciousness will continue to be an indispensable resource for researchers and students working on the cognitive neuroscience of consciousness and related disorders, as well as for neuroscientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and neurologists contemplating consciousness as one of the philosophical, ethical, sociological, political, and religious questions of our time. New chapters on the neuroanatomical basis of consciousness and short-term memory, and expanded coverage of comas and neuroethics, including the ethics of brain death The first comprehensive, authoritative collection to describe disorders of consciousness and how they are used to study and understand the neural correlates of conscious perception in humans. Includes both revised and new chapters from the top international researchers in the field, including Christof Koch, Marcus Raichle, Nicholas Schiff, Joseph Fins, and Michael Gazzaniga

This handbook attempts to translate data on various parameters of man's capability in underwater and hyperbaric environments for those without a background in the life sciences. Accomplishing any multifaceted task requires team work, and effective team work depends on facile communication among all participants. To communicate properly, all parties must understand each other's problems and be able to speak a similar language. To this end we believe that this publication will go a long way in furthering the understanding and communication necessary for maximum achievement. The U. S. Navy has a fundamental interest in all types of activities connected with the ocean and is especially interested in the growing field of manned underwater and hyperbaric activities. Thus, the manuscript for this comprehensive book was developed under Office of Naval Research contract N00014-67-A-0214-0013 with The George Washington University. We acknowledge with appreciation the financial support and technical guidance for this undertaking by the Naval Medical Research and Develop ment Command of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery as well as by the Engineering Psychology Program and the Physiology Program of the Office of Naval Research. JOSEPH P. POLLARD Director Biological and Medical Sciences Division Office of Naval Research vii Preface A need was felt for a book that would document the relationship of the human being to the underwater hyperbaric environment in such a way that the individual unfamiliar with the psychological or biomedical jargon could still understand and appreciate the information.
