The Physiology of Industrial Organisation and the Re-employment of the Disabled

Abstract

PROF. AMAR displayed, in the research which formed the subject of his doctoral thesis of 1909, much ingenuity in applying the somewhat difficult technique of indirect calorimetry to the study of human energetics under unfavourable conditions. Later, in various researches which are described in his treatise “Le Moteur humain,” the same resourcefulness was manifested; in particular, his measurements of the respiratory metabolism of metal workers deservedly attracted attention to a line of inquiry which was, and is, of considerable practical importance. Since then the French Government has utilised Prof. Amar's talents in a wider field, and the present volume contains a general account of his recent work.
