Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the heart of a forgotten war, one man must choose between duty and humanity. India, 1799. As the British East India Company tightens its grip on the subcontinent, Surgeon-Lieutenant Elias Thorne arrives at the besieged Fort Virendra-a crumbling outpost in the jungles of South India-prepared to mend broken bodies. But he is unprepared for a war built not on honor, but on greed: sacred forests felled for ship timber, sepoys treated as expendable, and orders that demand the wounded be left to die. When the fort is surrounded by the forces of the defiant Kingdom of Marudhan, Elias finds himself torn between the ruthless pragmatism of his commanding officer and the quiet dignity of the men he's sworn to save-British redcoats, Indian sepoys, and even enemy soldiers bleeding in the mud. With the monsoon closing in and cholera spreading through the ranks, Elias makes a choice that brands him a traitor: he will heal all who suffer, no matter the uniform they wore. This is not a story of glory. It's a story of brotherhood forged in mud, sacrifice in silence, and the radical act of choosing humanity over empire. If you loved: The moral complexity of All Quiet on the Western FrontThe medical detail of The PhysicianThe colonial critique of Th of e Far Pavilions (but wish it centered Indian voices more)Character-driven war dramas like Birdsong or The English Patient.then add The Surgeon of Virendra to your shelf. Praise for The Surgeon of Virendra: "A masterful debut-gritty, morally complex, and deeply humane. Thorne isn't just a surgeon; he's the conscience of an empire in decay."- Historical Novels Review"War is hell. But healing, this novel reminds us, is an act of defiance."G. M. Thorne is a writer of historical fiction with a background in medical history and South Asian studies. This is his first novel. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the impact of doing mechanical work on the metabolic rate and efficiency of the human body as a machine. The author, an expert in nutrition, designed and built a bicycle ergometer - a device that records the amount of external muscular work performed by a person riding a bicycle - and used it to measure the calorific output of subjects performing work at different intensities. A series of experiments were conducted with three young men and a professional bicyclist, showing that the body can transform 20% of its energy into mechanical work. This finding contributes to our understanding of the efficiency of the human body and the relationship between energy expenditure and physical effort. Moreover, this research advances our knowledge of the physiological mechanisms underlying muscular work and energy production.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the development and construction of specialized laboratory equipment designed to research metabolic processes in the human body. The primary focus is on the creation of calorimeters that precisely measure heat production during various activities and conditions. The author provides a comprehensive historical background of calorimetry and its evolution. To ensure the accuracy of measurements, the author details the design principles and construction of the apparatus, discussing its fundamental components such as thermal junctions, cooling circuits, and ventilation systems. The book showcases innovations that enhance experimental accuracy and facilitate manipulation, including modifications to the calorimeter's structural steel framework, zinc and copper walls, and heat-absorbing systems. The author highlights the significance of these advancements for the field, enabling researchers to precisely quantify heat production and gain deeper insights into human physiology and abnormal metabolism.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. On a remote island in the South Atlantic, a disgraced surgeon is given a macabre task: preserve the body of the dead emperor-before the truth rots away. 1821. Napoleon Bonaparte is dead. But on the British prison island of St. Helena, his body has not been buried. Fearing his grave will become a shrine, the governor orders Dr. Alistair Finch-a surgeon stripped of rank for refusing to amputate a boy's leg without consent-to secretly embalm the corpse and hide it in a lead-lined vault beneath Longwood House.As Finch works in the damp cellar with rum, arsenic, and beeswax, he discovers Napoleon's hidden journals-pages filled not with conquests, but with grief for a son he'll never see, and regret for the man war made him. When French loyalists, British profiteers, and a mysterious laundress all seek relics of the fallen emperor, Finch is drawn into a dangerous underground network smuggling truth out of exile.But the island is watching. And when the governor orders the body burned to ash, Finch must choose: obey and let history forget the man behind the myth. or risk everything to ensure the world remembers Napoleon not as a monster-but as human.From the author of The Surgeon of Virendra comes a haunting, gorgeously written novel of loyalty, legacy, and the quiet rebellion of compassion in the shadow of empire."A masterclass in historical fiction-gritty, psychologically rich, and deeply humane. Finch isn't just preserving a body; he's fighting for the soul of memory itself."- Historical Novels Review"War ends. But who gets to decide what the dead owe the living?"Readers of literary historical fiction who seek morally complex narratives, psychological depth, and anti-heroic perspectives on empire. Fans of Lincoln in the Bardo, The English Patient, Sebastian Barry, and The Signature of All Things. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a foundational study into the metabolic rates of humans at rest and while engaging in various activities. Building upon earlier research that focused on understanding respiratory processes of the body, the author sought to collect data on the respiratory exchange of healthy men under controlled conditions. The author includes extensive discussions of prior research, methods used to collect the data, and an analysis of factors such as muscular activity, sleep, and exposure to cold on the body's metabolism. The insights gained from this research form the basis of our current understanding of the body's energy requirements and have significantly influenced the fields of nutrition and preventative medicine.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the physiological relationship between food and energy. It reviews previous scientific studies and provides detailed accounts of the author's own extensive experiments on the metabolic effects of various foods. Challenging the notion that digestion alone accounts for the increased energy expenditure after eating, the author explores internal processes such as peristalsis, heat used to warm ingested foods, and the stimulating effects of nutrients on cellular activity. The author traces the historical development of this field of study from the work of Lavoisier and Seguin to the turn of the 20th century, demonstrating the evolution of scientific understanding on this topic.
