Endocrinology and Metabolism, Vol. 3: Presented in Their Scientific and Practical Clinial Aspects by Ninety-Eight Contributors (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Endocrinology and Metabolism, Vol. 3: Presented in Their Scientific and Practical Clinial Aspects by Ninety-Eight ContributorsWhen one considers the history of the development Of the science of nutrition one is impressed with the gradual growth of knowledge upon the subject. The ideas concerning it are not the products of the work of supermen. The ideas were not born as was Minerva, who sprang from the head of Jove. And yet those who furthered science were men pos sessing much information and also a sense of appreciation of values.Not from a vain or shallow thought His awful Jove young Phidias brought.Though vain and shallow men may contribute for weal or woe to political or social life, they have no influence upon science.This history has been composed with the dominant Viewpoint of pre senting the subject in the words of the Old Masters themselves. One would not desire to see an imitation of the Sistine Chapel could one view the reality itself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
