Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate workings of the animal organism, challenging the prevailing scientific thought of the time. It presents a revolutionary perspective on physiology, separating the purely physical and mechanical forces from what the author calls "proper animal forces,"… which are unique to living creatures. The author argues that understanding these "proper animal forces" is essential for comprehending the true nature of the animal body. He proposes a new system for classifying these forces, dividing them into those that act in connection with the mind and those that operate independently. This book explores the influence of the mind on the body, examining how thoughts, desires, and emotions translate into physical actions. The author also explores the "nerve forces" that control instinctive and involuntary actions, independent of conscious thought. He challenges the common notion of the "vital spirits" as a driving force, suggesting instead that "sense-like impressions" act as the primary motivators for these actions. The book further explores the interconnectedness of the body and mind, presenting a nuanced view of their reciprocal influence. It presents a detailed framework for understanding how the various faculties of the mind, including sensations, instincts, and passions, operate within the intricate machinery of the body. This groundbreaking work ultimately paves the way for a more comprehensive understanding of the animal organism, laying the foundation for a new era of physiological exploration. 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. print-on-demand item.

Provenance; from the library of the Birmingham Medical insitute with a presentation bookplate and minor library marks and presented by the Birmingham Hospital Saturday…Fund. Physical description; viii, 308 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, facsimiles, portraits ; 24 cm. Notes; Includes bibliographic references and index. Contents; Victorian values; Royal appeals and arrangements; Edwardian aims and activities; World War I and its aftermath; embattled in the 1930s; World War II and the creation of the National Health Service; a fragile partnership, 1948-1960; a decent anonymity, 1960-1980; the 1980s - charitable revival. Summary; British hospitals and their administration have changed dramatically since the nineteenth century, when the provision of medical care depended very heavily upon philanthropic bodies. The King's Fund was the leading charitable institution for the defence and development of London's voluntary hospitals before the creation of the National Health Service. Since 1948, it has worked alongside the NHS and has sought to promote good practice and innovation in health care through grants, training, and a range of other services. Dr Prochaska's readable and scholarly study places the King's Fund in the wider context of the history of philanthropy and social provision. It provides an illuminating analysis of the evolution of the relationship between the voluntary and public sectors in the twentieth century and points to the continuing importance of voluntary organizations to the nation's health and welfare.
