- catalog abstract "Beginning with the medical knowledge of the ancient Graeco-Roman world, this authoritative, easy-to-read reference presents a unique history of breathing physiology - detailing the evolution of our understanding of breathing mechanisms and the physiological function of breathing. Elucidating why breathing and circulation were largely a mystery up until the beginning of the seventeenth century, A History of Breathing Physiology highlights key contributions to the modern conception of respiratory physiology made by great scientists throughout history ... analyzes the importance of Galen's writings and the misunderstandings regarding respiration that persisted long after his death ... delineates the dramatic series of events in the late seventeenth century that culminated in John Mayow's seminal work Tractatus Quinque ... discusses the complex history of the barometer ... traces the development of our knowledge of the existence of O[subscript 2] in the air, our need for O[subscript 2], and our genesis of CO[subscript 2] ... examines the apathy that characterized respiratory research during the hundred years after Mayow ... considers the fundamental nature of flow in the respiratory tract ... and more.".
