Respiration Calorimeters for Studying the Respiratory Exchange and Energy Transformations of Man
Francis Gano Benedict and Thorne Martin Carpenter
Seal a man in a copper chamber and you can measure every calorie he burns: that is the respiration calorimeter, and Benedict built the best of them. Laboratory plans, heating and ventilating systems, and the apparatus behind the most precise studies of human energy of the age. The machinery underneath modern metabolism science. Step inside the chamber.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
