Experimental Medicine by Calude Bernard with a new introduction by Stewart Wolf Quote form book, "Among great men, Claude Bernard should be counted fortunate in that he has not become a mtyhical figure. Pasteur's dicoveries are hardly more remarkable, though their immediate influence has been much greater, and his horizon was incontestably less broad. But Bernard remains a plain man, highly distinguished, but not obscured by the growth of a legend. His physiological researches may have immortalized his name, but Experimental Medicine never exerted the influence which it promised. What Beranard saw as the future of physiology remained for decades obscured, so his writings were only half understood. His influence, however, was exerted far beyond medicine. Stewart Wolf suggests that Claude Bernard's genious in physiological experimentation is similar to the extraordianry Sherlock Holmes' capactiy to solve crimes and William Osler's uncanny abilities in clinical diagnosis. Like both of those creative searchers, Claude Bernard typically focused on findings that did not accord with prevailing theory. His curiosity led him to attempt to explain the finding by a tentative hypothesis; he would then devise an experiment. Although he sought for a quantiative result that might serve as a basis of a theory, he had little confidence in statistics as a guide to certainty. Bernard's opposition scientist' prevailing habit of segregating their inquires into systems rather than studying the unified organism is particulary striking. This volume will be improtant for those in the medical field as well as those interested in the history of science." Softcover, like new condition, still in original shrinkwrap
