Synopsis
Excerpt from The Problem of Age, Growth, and Death: A Study of Cytomorphosis
It is now over a third of a century since we were together in Leipzig as fellow-workers in the laboratory of Professor Carl Ludwig, on whom we look back as the greatest teacher of the art of scientific research whom we have ever known. He was a master of both the two great methods of biological study observation and experiment. From him we learned to regard the living organism as an apparatus, of which it was necessary to learn both the construction and the working, and always to seek the explanation of the working on the basis of the construction. Al though we have followed different lines of inquiry, the fundamental conceptions taught us by Ludwig have remained dominant. I look with admiration upon the number and importance of your scientific achievements. The pupil has proved himself worthy of the master, and has taken a master's place.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the subject of age, growth, and death from a scientific perspective. The author, a respected scientist, argues that the conventional wisdom of the aging process is flawed, and that the period of old age is actually one of the slowest periods of decline in a person's life. This book examines physiological changes that occur across the lifespan, including the musculoskeletal system, digestive system, and brain. The author presents case studies, data, and novel theories to support the notion that the human body is capable of vast adaptation, resilience, and rejuvenation. This book will appeal to general readers with an interest in the human body, the aging process, and the latest theories on the nature of life itself. 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. Seller Inventory # 9781330479209_0
