Print on Demand. This book explores the physical structure and adaptations of the human body, arguing that its design points to a purpose that cannot be fully realized in the present life. It proposes that the human body is organized and adapted for purposes which cannot have their complete fulfillment in the present life, highlighting that knowledge has physical sources and that systematic zoologists and dissections of a human body, are unt for general circulation and perusal. The author encourages the reader to question why all men are not great and why some are great, positing that the use of ourselves is the grand point to be known. Through a series of thought-provoking observations, the author encourages readers to study the animals, examining their adaptations and forms of matter to better understand the place and purpose of man and the significance of self-knowledge. By examining the body's senses and the connections between them, this illuminating book concludes that man alone can acquire knowledge and that anything we can know is something that we acquire. Ultimately, the author argues for the notion that the human body cannot acquire knowledge, emphasizing that we can address the body only through effective means and that knowledge is not power, it is what gives power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
