| Abstract | 591 last reprinting of the book appeared in 1920. Hence, as Professor Wright says in his Editorial Note, there was need to make it available "to be read by all students of physiology and to be re-read by their teachers and by mature investigators in the field." Of the contents of the book there is little for the modern reviewer to say-it stands wholly on its own proven merits. It is difficult for any of us who have received training in the interval since the First World War fully to appreciate the importance and the impact of this set of lectures, so integral in modern physiology have Sherrington's ideas become. The text should be read at least once by every student of physiology for it is a model of well-ordered thinking and sequential and lucid exposition. To the original have been added a foreword by Sir Charles, a curriculum vitae, and a bibliography of Sir Charles' writings. The Physiological Society is to be congratulated for promoting this project, the editor has obviously devoted appreciative care to his assignment, and the publishers have given us a model of book making-all in all, a happy acknowledgment of the debt we owe to a great man. This is a revision of Professor Edwards' Anatomy for Physical Education and is now designed for students in such fields as physical therapy, medical technology, nursing, dental hygiene, and physical education. It should admirably meet the needs of this group of students if their crowded schedules allow time for reading a book of this length with the care that any anatomical textbook necessitates. The presentation of the subject matter follows an interesting and a potentially quite successful order. The first portion of the book, comprising 138 pages, is concerned with general anatomy, with chapters on general microscopic and developmental anatomy, general osteology, general arthrology, general myology, general neurology, general angiology, and general dermatology. The nature and scope of this portion of the book may be seen in the discussion of general osteology, which includes gross structure, surface markings, periosteum, microscopic structure, blood supply, chemical and physical properties, and architectural features. The remainder of the book is written as regional anatomy. Thus Professor Edwards has in effect resolved the ancient debate as to whether anatomy should be presented by regions or systems by doing both in the same book. Moreover, sufficient material of practical and biological interest is … |
