Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physiology and National Needs This little volume is the outcome of a course of public lectures at King's College which I organised this spring under the auspices of the Imperial Studies Committee of the University of London. The neglect of Science in political and similar circles has never been so disastrous for us as in the earlier years of the recent war; our success later on was largely due to the fact that our brave fighting forces were supported at home by the organisation of our scientific resources. Physiology played its part in this great endeavour, and the present book tells some of the story. To include all the many ways in which Physiology is of national importance would have occupied a much larger book: the six articles presented here give samples only, but I trust that those selected will be sufficient to convince the educated public that it is not only in war-time, but in the days of reconstruction and peace that Physiology plays or should play an important part in our national life.
