The Functional Inertia of Living Matter; A Contribution to the Physiological Theory of Life

By David Fraser Harris and David Fraser-Harris

Book Overview

The Functional Inertia of Living Matter: A Contribution to the Physiological Theory of Life is a book written by David Fraser Harris in 1908. The book explores the idea that living matter has a functional inertia, meaning that it resists change in its functions and activities. Harris argues that this inertia is a fundamental characteristic of living organisms and plays a key role in their ability to maintain homeostasis and adapt to changing environments. The book draws on a range of scientific disciplines, including physiology, biology, and physics, to support its arguments. It is considered a significant contribution to the field of physiological theory and remains a valuable resource for researchers and scholars interested in the study of living matter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
