Synopsis

Where modern medicine began to take shape, William B. Carpenter maps the living body with rare force and clarity. Body and mind, explained clearly. Principles Of Human Physiology is a classic physiology textbook and a wide-ranging medical science treatise, written at the height of nineteenth century medicine. From core human physiology principles to the most debated nervous system functions, Carpenter links structure to sensation, habit, and health, making it essential to anyone interested in physiology and psychology as they were first argued in the laboratory and the clinic. It also speaks directly to practice: pathology, therapeutics, hygiene, and a sober forensic medicine reference perspective that shows how physiological knowledge was expected to stand up in court as well as at the bedside. Read as a medical students reference, it remains impressively organised; read as a historical medical reference, it reveals the questions Victorian doctors thought mattered most. A landmark of Victorian era physiology, this volume belongs on any history of medicine collection, capturing the language, assumptions, and ambitions of early scientific medicine without losing sight of the human subject. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. As a complete public domain edition, it is equally suited to the curious general reader, the serious researcher, and the collector of foundational medical classics.
