About The Book: In this book, the Surgery of the Skull and Brain is based on experience derived, and on research carried out, during the past ten years. CranioCerebral Surgery, though still in its infancy, has progressed with leaps and bounds during the past few years. This book represents the most modern aspects of the case and is brought up to date by means of a recent visit to some of the leading surgical clinics of the United States of America. The surgeon who is called upon to carry out operations on the skull and brain must possess an accurate knowledge of the anatomy of the parts involved. Firstly, the skull can be divided into two lateral halves by the surface-marking of the superior longitudinal venous sinus. About The Author: L. Bathe Rawling (1871-1940), Born at Plymouth, 20 March 1871, the second son and second child of Samuel Bartlett Rawling, civil engineer, and Sarah Ade Bathe Withers, his wife. His elder brother, Brigadier-General Cecil Godfrey Rawling, CMG, CIE, DSO, of the Dorset Light Infantry, was in command of the Gartok survey party and was surveyor to the New Guinea exploratory expedition. In these posts he did such good work that the Royal Geographical Society awarded him more than one of its medals. He was killed in action in France in October 1917. Louis Rawling, like his brother, was educated at Clifton College from May 1885 to July 1889, when the Rev James Maurice Wilson, afterwards Archdeacon of Manchester, was headmaster. He matriculated at Caius College, Cambridge in 1889, and graduated BA in 1893 with second-class honours in part 1 of the Natural Sciences Tripos.
