Practical physiological chemistry,

by Philip Bovier Hawk

Philip B Hawk and Olaf Bergeim's PRACTICAL PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY represents a valuable overview of biochemistry as it developed through the first third of the twentieth century. The text emphasizes "practical" clinical applications of biochemical principles, such as bed-side tests, as well as simple laboratory experiments demonstrating the underlying theories. Thirty-five chapters cover topics as diverse as carbohydrates, proteins (three chapters), enzymes and their action, digestive processes (nine chapters), blood (two chapters), urine (six chapters), vitamins and deficiency diseases, and much more. With over 900 illustrations, this text is of continuing value to biology teachers and students, medical historians, medical students and residents. Eleventh edition 1937
