Las islas reciben un turismo de compras, un turismo de congresos, un turismo de aventura, un turismo de cruceros y una gran cantidad de turismo de sol y playa por nuestras espléndidas playas de arena y agradable clima. Generalmente no cabe duda de que el clima constituye uno de los más decisivos factores en el desarrollo del turismo y la geografía del ocio. Es casi un tópico oír en las sociedades occidentales “que tiempo hace”, cuando alguien se intenta desplazar a un lugar para descansar, tomar baños en el mar o balnearios, o por el simple hecho de presentarse de nuevo al país de origen bronceado. Los que viven en los países nórdicos viajan en invierno hacia el sur huyendo del intenso frío reinante en su país y los que viven en los países de temperaturas cálidas y templadas se desplazan a las costas para veranear. Pero ¿ha sido siempre así? La respuesta es: No. Si bien pueden ser las razones expuestas las que conforman el desplazamiento turístico del hombre urbano desde finales del siglo XIX y sobre todo del siglo XX, favorecido por el abaratamiento de los costes de transportes aéreos en las últimas décadas, las razones del viaje en tiempos pretéritos eran más costosas. Ni la sociedad del bienestar existía ni los medios de comunicación, de tracción animal por tierra y de vela por mar, facilitaban el viaje. Entonces se viajaba por necesidad, bien comerciales o por razones de salud. El viaje por salud se convirtió en una necesidad apremiante en el hombre. Es el tema central de este trabajo. Empezaremos por repasar las épocas desde la antigüedad hasta los momentos en que se incorpora el archipiélago canario. LA EDAD ANTIGUA Los pueblos antiguos fueron unos destacados mercaderes y navegantes que realizaban sus actividades comerciales en todo el Mediterráneo. Sus costas se conocieron desde muy pronto. Los griegos de la antigüedad se aprovecharon de los conocimientos de los litorales mediterráneos de sus predecesores, de tal manera que crearon una cultura muy proclive al viaje por mar, y a la vez que conocieron la geografía de los litorales mediterráneos. Por tierra, la sociedad esclavista de la época clásica permitió la práctica de los rudimentos de lo que hoy entendemos por ocio y turismo. Una de las razones por la que los griegos viajaban por tierra era la peregrinación religiosa para visitar los santuarios, precisamente en muchos de los casos por salud. En Epidauro se encontraba la casa de Asclepio, dios de la curación y a ella iban muchos enfermos que esperaban dentro del templo toda la noche hasta el alba si era necesario para ver al sacerdote curador que les diera el tratamiento prescrito por los 5 dioses. Así pues, con ellos el viaje turístico, por razones de salud comenzó a realizarse, aunque el tratamiento tenía un fuerte componente religioso. La asistencia a los balnearios también fue otra razón por la que los griegos practicaban el viaje. Fueron unos ardientes usuarios de ellos por razones de salud, aunque la cura por medio de las aguas aún tenía un componente sobrenatural, ya que el tratamiento predominante de las enfermedades en la antigüedad griega estaba basado más en hechizos, embrujos y otros remedios,1como el religioso, que en tratamientos racionales. Pero, el interés por el conocimiento del medio físico invadió el pensamiento filosófico del hombre de la época clásica desde el siglo V a.C. La climatología, la salubridad y la dimensión geográfica del lugar donde se encontraba el balneario adquirieron importancia por sí mismo. En este contexto hace su aparición el padre de la medicina occidental, Hipócrates de Cos (siglo V a.C.). Con él la concepción de las enfermedades cambiaría en el panorama de la ciencia médica en la antigüedad clásica. Aunque ya había sido con anterioridad insinuado por Herodoto, Hipócrates fue sin embargo el primero que estableció la relación entre aires, agua y climas de los lugares como factores que ayudaban a la cura de determinadas enfermedades. Es el primer filósofo de la antigüedad que estableció una relación directa entre los fenómenos meteorológicos y las condiciones sanitarias. Con él y sus seguidores la vía de la recuperación de la salud por vía natural adquirió rango de ciencia. En su tratado Sobre los aires, aguas y lugares,2 sin duda, una de sus obras más célebres, describe los efectos nocivos y beneficiosos que sobre el hombre ejercen las condiciones ambientales y climáticas. Para la doctrina médica hipocrática, la enfermedad estaba originada por causas naturales, consecuentemente debería de ser tratada mediante procedimientos racionales e implícitos y no mediante la intervención de procedimientos sobrenaturales o religiosos.3 Hipócrates, en sus páginas, nos habla de la influencia de los climas sobre la salud y la importancia de las aguas en el tratamiento de las enfermedades,4 además de resaltar como perjudiciales para la humanidad los ambientes húmedos y oscuros, y beneficiosos los ambientes soleados que permita la vida al aire libre para la mejoría fundamentalmente de los enfermos del pulmón. Uno de los seguidores de las doctrinas hipocráticas, Areteo de Capadocia, médico griego que vivió durante la segunda mitad siglo I y la primera mitad del II, habló incluso de la tuberculosis, la enfermedad que tanto tuvo que ver con el desarrollo del turismo contemporáneo en el siglo XIX. Ya Areteo de Capadocia en su Obra Médica hace una clara alusión a los síntomas y causas de la tisis (tos prolongada, sudor y enfriamiento del cuerpo, debilidad y consunción del enfermo, etc.), y a la vez, e aquí su importancia, recomendaba las regiones cálidas para su convalecencia, pues «las frías y húmedas son, por sus características, las compañeras de esta afección».5 La doctrina médica hipocrática trae consigo, pues, un cambio de mentalidad en el mundo clásico y a partir de entonces empezó a creerse que la mejor manera de curar ciertas enfermedades era una larga estancia en los lugares con climas cálidos y el uso de las aguas termales. Aquí tiene su origen el termalismo. Se trataba de la utilización de aguas mineromedicinales para el tratamiento de las enfermedades.

Introduction Before the 19th century, ideas of how the brain functioned were dominated by the concept of hollow nerves through which were thought to flow, at different historical periods, "animal spirits", "nervous fluid", "nervous force" ("vis nervosa") and, by the turn of the 19th century, "animal electricity" (Clarke and Jacyna, 1987). Galvani developed the concept of animal electricity by eliciting muscle contraction by the application of atmospheric or frictional electricity to a frog nerve-muscle preparation. However, this concept was challenged by Volta, who maintained that Galvani was generating chemical electricity by the approximation of two dissimilar metals in the fluid of the frog's tissues. Volta's observations led to the Voltaic pile, the forerunner of today's batteries. Our modern understanding of the electrical basis of brain activity can be traced to the early 19th century and especially to the studies of Todd and Faraday (Reynolds, 2004 a, b). Robert Bentley Todd and Michael Faraday Robert Bentley Todd (1809-1850) (Figure 1) is best remembered today for the post-ictal paralysis which bears his name (Todd's Paralysis), but this was only a small fraction of his contribution to neurology and neuroscience, and far from being his most important.

Ancient History The Scottish/English name Todd is one of the oldest border surnames or clans and its history is closely entwined into the rich and colorful fabric of the history of the eastern border of Scotland and England. Using some of the most ancient manuscripts such as the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland, the Inquisitio, the Ragman Rolls, the Domesday Book, Acts of Scottish Parliaments, baptismals, parish records and cartularies, and tax records researchers found the first record of the name Todd in Berwickshire where they held a family seat from early times. Spelling Variations During the era when a person's name, tribe and posterity was one of his most important possessions, many different spellings were found in the archives examined. Todd occurred in many references, and spelling variations of the name found included Todd, Tod and Todde, and these changes in spelling frequently occurred during a person's own lifetime, or between father and son.

  • The Manuscripts of Sir William Bowman*
    THE MANUSCRIPTS OF SIR WILLIAM BOWMAN* by K. BRYN THOMAS FROM time to time there reappear among the archives of great families manuscripts and mementos of their distinguished forebears, and the fortunate investigator is enabled to produce a little new evidence bearing on the lives of great men. In the possession of Sir John Bowman of Newbury are a great number of papers originally belonging to his great grandfather, the illustrious Victorian doctor Sir William Bowman, whose influence upon medical teaching, particularly that of histological anatomy and physiology, and upon the development of ophthalmic surgery, are not, perhaps, nowadays fully appreciated. Sir John Bowman does not, of course, remember his great-grandfather, though another member of the family, Mr. Humphrey Bowman, now in his eighty-sixth year, has memories of his grandfather which are vivid and clear. He was about thirteen years old when Sir William died and he recalls happy childhood holidays at Sir William's country home near Dorking. Since William Bowman was born in 1816- thirteen months after Waterloo-these two lives represent a considerable span oftime. The manuscripts now in the possession of his great-grandson relate both to Sir William Bowman, and to other members of his family, and they are interesting and in some cases remarkable. Sir William's father was John Eddowes Bowman (1785-1841), the son of a tobac- conist of Nantwich, Cheshire. He worked for a time with his father but then went into banking and settled in Nantwich and later Welshpool, Wrexham, and Man- chester. He married his cousin Elizabeth Eddowes, and William, the third son and the fourth child, was born on 20 July 1816.
