Abstract
ALTHOUGH Prof. Stiles's little book is entitled “Nutritional Physiology,” it is really an elementary treatise on the whole realm of physiology, though special attention is directed to digestion, absorption, and metabolism. Its keynote is the word “energy,” and the living body is regarded from the point of view of an energy-transformer. The work is dedicated to Prof. Graham Lusk, of New York, and his influence can be easily traced in the chapters which deal with metabolism.
