Twelve Lectures On Comparative Physiology: Delivered Before The Lowell Institute, In Boston, January And February, 1849 (1849)

""Twelve Lectures on Comparative Physiology"" is a book written by Jeffries Wyman and published in 1849. The book is a collection of lectures that were delivered by the author before the Lowell Institute in Boston during January and February of the same year. The lectures explore the field of comparative physiology, which is the study of the similarities and differences in the biological processes of different species. The book covers a wide range of topics related to comparative physiology, including the nervous system, digestion, respiration, and reproduction. Wyman discusses the anatomy and physiology of various animals, including insects, fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals. He also explores the evolution of these different systems and how they have adapted to different environments and lifestyles. Throughout the lectures, Wyman emphasizes the importance of comparative physiology in understanding the fundamental principles of biology. He argues that by studying the similarities and differences between different species, we can gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms that govern life. Overall, ""Twelve Lectures on Comparative Physiology"" is a seminal work in the field of biology and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of animal physiology and evolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
