Bemerkung:

Sehr gutes, tadelloses Exemplar. - Englisch. - Johannes Peter Müller (* 14. Juli 1801 in Koblenz; ? 28. April 1858 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Mediziner, Physiologe und vergleichender Anatom bzw. Zoologe sowie Meeresbiologe und Naturphilosoph. Er befasste sich vor allem mit der Nerven- und Sinnesphysiologie, baute die Reflexlehre weiter aus und gilt als der bedeutendste Physiologe des 19. Jahrhunderts. ... (wiki) // Hermann von Helmholtz, Rudolf Virchow, Theodor Schwann, Ernst Haeckel, Emil du Bois-Reymond, Jakob Henle, and Robert Remak. Müller's Lab tells the story of these seven scientists who created modern biology by analyzing their relationships with the man who trained them: Johannes Müller. Today less well known than his pupils, Müller was once Germany s foremost anatomist and physiologist. According to his students, he was a genius, a fool, an innovator, and a failure. By aligning their contradictory accounts of Müller's life, this book shows how markedly a scientist's relationship with his teacher can shape his career and highlights the fluidity and subjectivity of scientific history. Müller's Lab takes the reader into nineteenth-century Berlin, describing in gritty detail what it meant to practice science and learn medicine in 1820-1860. It offers a look at ingenious experiments performed without electricity. refrigeration, or indoor plumbing. Besides academic politics and grant-writing. Muller and his students had to deal with anti-Semitism, social prejudices, an oppressive government, and a revolution in which the teacher and his students found themselves on opposite sides. The story of their discoveries offers an inspiring tale of the triumph of human intelligence. ?
