This volume, comprising seven distinguished contributors, delves into the rich history of the biological and medical sciences, as well as the intricate relationship between institutes and ideas that marked the remarkable explosion of scientific investigation, particularly in Germany. In addition to William Coleman and Frederic L. Holmes, the esteemed group includes Robert G. Frank, Jr., Timothy Lenoir, John E. Lesch, Kathryn M. Olesko, and Arlene M. Tuchman. While scientific inquiry had existed in the nineteenth century, it was during this time that it truly gained momentum, becoming a vital force in shaping the well-being of nations. Much remains to be uncovered about the origins of the organizational structures that characterize modern investigative enterprises. This book takes a captivating approach by examining these questions in the context of physiology, one of the dominant experimental sciences of the century. Through the analysis of specific institutes or subjects, each author demonstrates how the interplay between research, pedagogy, personal vision, and state or public interests can be intricately studied within localized settings. This title is proudly part of UC Press' Voices Revived program, a testament to the publisher's commitment to seeking out and nurturing the brightest minds, providing them with a platform to express their ideas, reach a wider audience, and make a lasting impact. Drawing upon a rich backlist dating back to 1893, Voices Revived employs print-on-demand technology to make high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again. Originally published in 1988, this title continues to resonate with scholars and enthusiasts alike, contributing to the ongoing exploration of scientific knowledge and its profound implications for society.
