    Extractions: 8)pagina ANAFILAS.HTM Un tipico caso di serendipità è legato alla figura di Charles Robert Richet, cui venne assegnato il premio Nobel per la medicina e la fisiologia nel 1913, per le sue scoperte sull'allergia e l'anafilassi - si può dire che è il fondatore dell'allergologia, la specialità della medicina, che si occupa delle malattie allergiche. Richet, fisiologo dell'Università di Parigi, studiando il veleno estratto dai tentacoli dell'anemone di mare, riuscì a scoprire il meccanismo base dell'allergia e dell'anafilassi. Nella vicenda di Richet è ben chiaro il ruolo svolto dalla sorte (l'utilizzo dei medesimi cani per mancanza di altri animali su cui sperimentare) ma anche quello ricoperto dalla sagacia del ricercatore che di fronte a un evento inatteso non pensa a un errore nella propria sperimentazione, per esempio a un errato dosaggio del veleno, ma a un fatto nuovo da spiegare.

He was the son of Alfred Richet, Professor of Clinical Surgery in the Faculty of Medicine, Paris, and his wife Eugenie, Renouard. He studied in Paris, becoming Doctor of Medicine in 1869, Doctor of Sciences in 1878 and Professor of Physiology from 1887 onwards in the Faculty of Medicine, Paris. For 24 years (1878-1902) he was Editor of the Revue Scientifique , and from 1917 he was co-editor of the . He has published papers on physiology, physiological chemistry, experimental pathology, normal and pathological psychology and numerous researches all done in the physiological laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Paris, where he tried to study normal and pathological facts together with each other. In physiology, he worked out the mechanism of the thermoregulation in homoiothermic animals. Before his researches (1885-1895) on polypnoea and shivering due to temperature little was known about the methods by which animals deprived of cutaneous transpiration can guard against overheating and how chilled animals can warm themselves again.

     Extractions: Teacher: Connie Doonan Kurt Olsen War is a terrible thing. It has plagued our world since the beginning of time. Only eight percent of earth’s history has been free from the devastation of war. Through all this time, the technology of war and weapons of war have steadily improved. At the beginning of the 20th century, many great men predicted that the killing force of newly developed weapons would make war impossible. However, these men were terribly wrong. Alfred Nobel was an extremely successful chemist, inventor, and entrepreneur. In 1866, he invented and patented a substance which he called dynamite. The production and sale of dynamite and his other 355 patented inventions made Alfred extremely wealthy. (Alfred) In his later life, Alfred Nobel became interested in peace related issues. Upon his death, Alfred directed his wealth to establish the foundation that now awards the Nobel Prizes. Alfred Nobel’s view for peace was summed up when he claimed, “My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions. As soon as men will find that in one instant whole armies can be utterly destroyed, they will surely abide by a golden peace.” Unfortunately, Mr. Nobel was utterly mistaken. The ability to wipe out whole armies did not deter war; it only made it that much worse. More men died in the wars of the twentieth century than in all the wars of recorded history combined. (Renner 21) The casualties of the modern wars were also much more terrible than the wars of previous centuries. Men were blown apart and maimed from flying shrapnel. Since new weapons could kill so easily, much larger armies were needed to assure victory, and many young fighters were drafted into service in these modern wars. Nobel’s dynamite and other advancements in weapons only made the world’s armies larger and the death toll of war higher and did not bring about peace.
