Synopsis
Explore the building blocks of life and how the body works, explained with clear, early scientific insight. This edition presents Baron Albertus Haller’s foundational ideas on physiology in two volumes, translated into accessible English for today’s readers.
Starting from the simplest parts that compose living matter, the book traces how solid and fluid components form the body’s structures—bones, muscles, vessels, membranes, and the surrounding tissues. It examines how fibres and cellular textures create the fabric of every organ, and how nerves connect those parts to produce sensation, movement, and life-sustaining processes. The work moves through key topics such as the senses of hearing and sight, respiration, digestion, growth, and the development of organs, offering a window into early physiological thinking and observation.
- Foundational concepts about the body’s solid and fluid parts, and how they come together to form tissues and organs.
- Detailed discussion of fibres, cellular texture, membranes, and their roles in health and function.
- Early explanations of the nervous system and sensory experiences, including hearing and sight.
- Historical translation notes and illustrations that enhance understanding of the original text.
Ideal for readers of medical history, students seeking a classic introduction to physiology, and anyone interested in how early scientists approached the workings of the human body.
