Synopsis

This book traces the development of physiology from its inception fifty years ago as a distinct branch of biology and discusses the significance of the insights gained since then on our understanding of living processes. The author, a leading authority in the field, provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, from its origins in pathology to its present-day status as a cornerstone of modern science. The book explores the central role of adaptation in physiological processes and the fundamental importance of the physical laws of the universe in explaining the phenomena of life. Through a detailed examination of the work of key figures in the field, including the author's own research, the book offers a unique perspective on the evolution of physiological thought and its profound implications for our understanding of the natural world.
