[viii], 300pp., frontispiece portrait, 7 plates and 4 in-text illustrations. Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952) was a British neurophysiologist. His experimental research established many aspects of contemporary neuroscience, including the concept of the spinal reflex as a system involving connected neurons, and the ways in which signal transmission between neurons can be potentiated or depotentiated. During the academic year 1937-38, Sherrington delivered the Gifford lectures at the University of Edinburgh. They focused on Fernel and his times, and formed the basis of Man on His Nature. It explores philosophical thoughts about the mind, human existence, and God, in accordance with natural theology. The first edition appeared in 1940, and this second edition has been entirely revised and reset. The book is bound in the original green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The book is in excellent condition and the contents are tight and clean.
