A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Many years of experience in teaching physiology have convinced me that the ideal of aH igh School book should be the clearness, accuracy and simplicity obtained by viewing the human body as a machine automatically adjusted to its work and its surroundings. From such a viewpoint, its complex structure is resolved into the definite working parts of a well-regulated mechanism; its varied forms of activity are revealed as organized effort toward development, maintenance and adaptation to environment; and the laws of its health are seen to be the reasonable conditions essential to its effective working. Whenever possible, technical terms and names have been omitted for the sake of relieving overburdened memories and of leaving them receptive for the important practical aspects of the subject. I ndeed, the attempt throughout has been to utilize and supplement the knowledge of the High School student and thus to give to the physiology, and especially to the hygiene, a working value in his daily thought and life. When technical terms have of necessity been used, they have been italicized, not in every case where they first occur, but where they are most fully explained. This method supplemented by an accurate index is believed to be preferable to the very inadequate glossary often used. State Normal School, Oswego, N. Y.; Cook Co.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
