Publisher's Synopsis
The Oliver-Sharpey Lectures On The Feeding Of Nations: A Study In Applied Physiology (1919) is a book written by Ernest Henry Starling. The book is a comprehensive study of the physiology of nutrition and food consumption, and its implications for feeding large populations. The author explores the science behind the human digestive system, the role of different nutrients in the body, and the ways in which food can be processed and preserved to ensure its availability for large populations. The book is based on a series of lectures delivered by Starling at the University of Edinburgh, and it provides a detailed analysis of the various factors that influence food production and consumption, including cultural, economic, and political factors. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of nutrition and the challenges of feeding large populations, and it remains an important work in the field of applied physiology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
