Excerpt from A Manual of Physiology: With Practical ExercisesAT the present day, to teach Physiology by means of formal lectures and systematic text-books alone is no more satis factory than it would be to till the farms of America with the wooden plough of Bengal. Some benefit can certainly be gained from the mere reading of a good text-book or listening to a good lecturer, but the result will be meagre in comparison with the capabilities of the subject, and the knowledge thus acquired will be more likely to sink to the level of cram than to rise to the level of education. In this book an attempt has been made to interweave formal exposition with practical work. In the way my experience at the Harvard Medical School and the Western Reserve University has shown to be best suited to the needs and the opportunities of the American student. An arrangement of the Practical Exercises with reference to the systematic course has this great advantage - that by a little care it is possible to secure that the student shall be actually working at a given subject at the time it is being lectured on. Cross-reference from lecture-room to laboratory, and from laboratory to lecture-room, from the detailed discussion of the relations of a phenomenon to the living fact itself, is thus rendered easy, natural, and fruitful.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
