Experiments on Animals
Baron Lister Stephen Paget and Joseph
Much of what we know about the living body was learned through careful experiment. Paget recounts the history of animal physiology, from Harvey's discovery of the circulation to studies of the gastric juice, the pancreas, and glycogen. A measured account of medical science's foundations. Trace how experiment revealed the workings of the body.
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.
