Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the collected writings of well-respected surgeon John Hunter, comprising the results of his keen observations and extensive experience. Hunter aimed to explain the general principles of surgery, believing these fundamental concepts to be necessary guides to practice. The author intended to cover the most interesting parts of surgery, particularly subjects on which he had made many new and, he hoped, useful observations. Hunter also aimed to correct the errors of previous physiologists, who often attempted to explain vital actions using mechanical or chemical operations. Instead, the author contends that physiological actions should be understood as arising from the vital principle, a unique property of living matter that must be considered in any scientific exploration of life. This book presents a wealth of insights on surgery that will prove invaluable to both students and practitioners alike.
