Human Physiology

Abstract

THE service rendered to British physiology by Prof. Starling will never be forgotten by his colleagues and students. His technical skill was of such an exceptional order that he was rightly styled on the Continent an arch-experimenter. The constructive character of his researches and the enthusiasm with which he presented his ideas were always the wonder and joy of his listeners. He will, however, be remembered by most as a teacher of physiology; his demonstrations were truly marvellous, while his lectures were almost as vivid as demonstrations.

Starling's Principles of Human Physiology.

Sixth edition edited and revised By Prof. C. Lovatt Evans. The Chapters on the Central Nervous System and Sense Organs revised by Prof. H. Hartridge. Pp. xiii + 1,122. (London: J. and A. Churchill, 1933.) 24s.
