Notable for its use of charts and tables of the growth of physiology conceptually and professionally, Rothschuh's book also explores the general ideas of each period, ending with a challenging discussion of the limits of physical research on biological order. Dr. Risse has aided the reader immeasurably also by his fine bibliography in English which follows each chapter and totals several hundred valuable citations. The many interesting photographs and
the generally fine production of this book make it a valuable addition to the collection of one interested in the history of the healing arts. |
