Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the historical scientific study of the laws of organic and animal life. It references the work of contemporary scientists such as Cullen, Boyle, and Haller, and popularizes complex physiological topics such as respiration and the generation of animal heat. Through accessible language and a variety of experiments, the author encourages readers to critically analyze prior physiological theories and their conclusions, including the idea that animal heat is a direct result of oxygen inhalation. The book's analysis of human physiology against the backdrop of experimentation is an example of the scientific mindset of the 18th and 19th centuries, and shows how such scientific inquiry could lead to a greater understanding of the principles of physiology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
