An Account of the Late Improvements in Galvanism
Giovanni Aldini
Giovanni Aldini electrified the dead and made muscles twitch, staging demonstrations that helped inspire Frankenstein. This account sets out his experiments in galvanism proposition by proposition, probing the strange power of current over animal tissue. A startling record from the dawn of electrophysiology. Witness the experiments that made a young Mary Shelley wonder what electricity might awaken.
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.
