Excerpt from Fatigue
Professor Mosso needs no introduction to the English speaking public, his work on Fear being already well known through a translation by E. Lough, and F. Kiesow, published in 1896. His study of Fatigue, which is now for the first time translated, deals with a subject of even more general interest and of special importance to educationists.
Although from the nature of things one of the oldest of the arts, only of recent years has education attained the status of a science, and even yet many of its maxims are frankly empirical. Based upon psychology and physiology it suffers from all their errors and defects and prospers with their prosperity; hence the application of modern methods of scientific research to the problems of psychology and physiology may be expected to result in important additions to the theory of education. All natural sciences have gone through a period of youth in which their sphere was not clearly defined, their terms were vague and their results uncertain; all of them may be said to have attained their majority when experiment came to the aid of observation, and more particularly when the phenomena considered were compelled to submit themselves to measurement.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intriguing subject of animal and human fatigue through the lens of physiology and history, shedding light on the physical and mental limits of both our bodies and minds.

Through fascinating accounts of the author's own experiments on carrier pigeons and soldiers, the book examines the impact of exertion on physiological processes, including temperature regulation, oxygen consumption, and the production of toxic substances. The author also investigates the role of mental strain on fatigue, exploring the effects of attention, intellectual work, and emotional stress on cognitive function and physical performance.
