From the reviews:“This is a very detailed and comprehensive textbook concerning the energetics, biochemistry, physiology, and neurological implications of sensory nerves. … this monograph is a welcome addition and primer for medical students, graduate fellows, professors, and physiology research personnel working with human and animal preparations.” (Joseph J.
