This book consists of 23 essays about prominent people and events
in the history of respiratory physiology. It provides a first-hand
chronicle of the advancements made in respiratory physiology
starting with Galen and the beginnings of Western physiology. The
volume covers every aspect of the evolution of this important area
of knowledge: pulmonary circulation, Boyle's Law, pulmonary
capillaries and alveoli, morphology, gas exchange and blood flow,
mechanics, control of ventilation, and comparative physiology. The
book emphasizes societal and philosophical aspects of the history
of science. Although it concentrates on physiology, it also
describes how cultural movements, such as The Enlightenment, shaped
the researchers discussed. This book is published on behalf of the
American Physiological Society by Springer. Access to APS books
published with Springer is free to APS members.
