About this title

Synopsis

Physiology presents the living body as an intelligible system of coordinated processes, moving from organs and tissues to the larger principles of function, regulation, and adaptation. Written in the clear, disciplined prose characteristic of nineteenth-century scientific pedagogy, the book combines empirical observation with conceptual synthesis. It belongs to the formative period when physiology was separating itself from anatomy and natural philosophy to become an experimental, laboratory-based science. M. Sir Foster, best understood as Sir Michael Foster, was among the central figures in establishing modern physiology in Britain. His work at Cambridge helped shape laboratory instruction, professional research standards, and the careers of later biomedical scientists. The book reflects a teacher's need to organize a rapidly expanding field, translating experimental findings into a coherent framework for students, physicians, and scientifically minded readers. This volume is recommended to readers interested not only in bodily function but also in the history of scientific method. It rewards attention as a foundational text: precise, humane, and ambitious in showing how life may be studied without diminishing its complexity.
