Books by Charles Sherrington
“Sherrington was a Nobel laureate who, more extensively than anyone else, mapped the amalgamation of the muscular and neurological systems…Man on His Nature begins with and is mainly oriented around the life and work of Jean Fernel, the author of the first physiology textbook, which was published in 1542. Sherrington…is travelling back and forth through time from Fernel in the Renaissance to the most up-to-date neurological research of the early 20th century, and then all the way back to ideas articulated by Aristotle in Ancient Greece…It’s absolutely exhilarating. Sherrington is the greatest writer about physiology I have come across. His prose is a complete joy to read.” Read more...
