Synopsis

""Bodily Changes In Pain, Hunger, Fear And Rage"" is a groundbreaking book written by Walter B. Cannon in 1920. The book is a detailed study into the physical and psychological responses of the human body to various stimuli such as pain, hunger, fear, and rage. Cannon was a prominent American physiologist who conducted extensive research on the autonomic nervous system and its role in regulating bodily functions.In this book, Cannon explores how the body responds to different emotions and situations. He explains how the body's physiological responses to pain, hunger, fear, and rage are similar in many ways, despite the differences in the emotions themselves. Cannon also discusses the role of the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal glands in these responses.The book is divided into four sections, each focusing on one of the emotions in the title. In each section, Cannon provides a thorough explanation of the physiological changes that occur in the body during that emotion. He also discusses the psychological aspects of these emotions, such as how they are perceived and experienced by individuals.""Bodily Changes In Pain, Hunger, Fear And Rage"" is a seminal work in the field of psychology and physiology. It has been widely cited and referenced in subsequent research and is considered a classic in the field. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the relationship between the mind and body.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Fear, rage and pain, and the pangs of hunger are all primitive experiences which human beings share with the lower animals. These experiences are properly classed as among the most powerful that determine the action of men and beasts. A knowledge of the conditions which attend these experiences, therefore, is of general and fundamental importance in the interpretation of behavior. During the past four years there has been conducted, in the Harvard Physiological Laboratory, a series of investigations concerned with the bodily changes which occur in conjunction with pain, hunger and the major emotions. A group of remarkable alterations in the bodily economy have been discovered, all of which can reasonably be regarded as responses that are nicely adapted to the individuals welfare and preservation. Because these physiological adaptations are interesting both in themselves and in their interpretation, not only to physiologists and psychologists, but to others as well, it has seemed worth while to gather together in convenient form the original accounts of the experiments, which have been published in various American medical and physiological journals.

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.
