This book is in essence a collection of essays which are state of the art in their respective areas of knowledge. They inform the reader of all sorts of mechanistic considerations when developing understanding of issues surrounding the origins of congenital abnormalities. These chapters are written by world renown authorities in this area of science and represent a wide range of expertise from a clinician perspective, through to genetic mechanisms. Unlike some books which take a formal textual, somewhat plodding way through pathophysiology here instead we have cut through chapters in which the student , or scientist or medic is lead to understand just how complex the origins can be via examples from different parts of the body. With the erudite chapters are relevant tables and other diagrams to help clarify the text . These chapters represent a starter text for the stimulus for further knowledge of what is an increasingly important area of human health.

Créatures bicéphales, frères siamois, colosses prodigieux, nains bossus, titans légendaires, ogres faramineux, chimères dénaturées, bêtes fantastiques, croque-mitaines fabuleux, nés des profondeurs obscures de l’eau, de la terre, du péché, du sortilège, de l’impénétrable justice de Dieu, de l’implacable malice du Diable… Ou de l’esprit bizarre de l’homme ? Comment le monstre vient-il à la vie ? Cette question a hanté tous les âges. Elle demeure une clé d’interprétation des imaginaires, des représentations et des cultures. Aussi est-ce dans les coulisses de la création et les arcanes de la reproduction que nous invite Olivier Roux, en inspectant les théories de la monstruosité de l’Antiquité à la Belle Époque, de Socrate et Aristote à Darwin et Freud. Sur plus de vingt siècles, philosophes, médecins, moralistes et théologiens ne cessent de polémiquer aux confins de la raison et de la foi, de la science et de la superstition. Le naturalisme s’oppose à l’exceptionnalisme, l’ordre des choses au désordre de l’univers, et les inventions les plus cocasses aux ratiocinations les plus baroques. Génération spontanée, mixité des espèces, force de l’imagination des femmes enceintes, théories de la ressemblance : de l’enfant monstrueux considéré comme illégitime à la difformité comme sanction morale ou au prodige à valeur prophétique, voici un voyage dans les mentalités dont nous sommes les héritiers. Une somme exceptionnelle.
