Suckling, E.E. — Bioelectricity

McGraw-Hill xi, 233, 92 figs. . HB. 8vo cloth. Vg in worn d/w (tear with loss to head of spine). From the library of the entomologist Peter Miller (1931-1996) with his signature to endpaper and his ink notes to rear endpaper. Good.. n important early synthesis of bioelectric phenomena and electrophysiology, examining the electrical properties of living tissues, including nerve and muscle activity, membrane potentials and the recording of physiological electrical signals. Published during a formative period in modern electrophysiology, when the ionic mechanisms underlying nerve impulses and cellular electrical activity were becoming firmly established, the work reflects the increasing integration of physics and quantitative methods into experimental physiology..
