Biography and Bibliography of Ophthalmologists and Vision Scientists of
all Times with the co-operation of Saiichi Mishima, Professor Emeritus of Tokyo
University, former Chairman of Tokyo University Clinic of Ophthalmology and
of C. Richard Keeler (London)
By
browsing through thousands of volumes of journals and periodicals, reference
works and through personal interviews, the authors have collected data on
academic ophthalmologists and researchers in visual sciences, as well as of
famous opticians from all over the world - from the Ancients to the Present. Every
available biography is as complete as far as possible and when available a
bibliography is also included in IBBO.
Thanks to
the kindness and co-operation of Professor Saiichi Mishima (Tokyo University),
for the first time, the western scientific world will have access to historical
and living academic Japanese ophthalmologists, an access which until now was
denied due to the barrier of language and the lack of biographical material. As
for living ophthalmologists, we have entered, as for as this was permitted,
their scientific hobbies, like collecting ophthalmic, or ophthalmologically
related subjects. We have also named their former teachers in ophthalmology,
thus permitting the creation of a huge Ophthalmic Genealogic Tree.
The first
edition of volume 1 (A to K) and volume 2 (L to Z) are now
available.
IBBO is printed on a 150gr/sqm art paper and
bound by hand with gold embossed title on spine and bookplate. The book is
protected by a printed jacket.
