Publisher's Synopsis
Physical Chemistry: Its Bearing On Biology And Medicine is a book written by James Charles Philip and originally published in 1915. This book is an exploration of the relationship between physical chemistry and the fields of biology and medicine. Philip argues that physical chemistry is essential to understanding the chemical reactions that occur within living organisms and the ways in which these reactions can be manipulated for medical purposes. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between physical chemistry and biology/medicine. The first chapter provides an introduction to the basic principles of physical chemistry and their relevance to biological systems. Subsequent chapters delve into more specific topics, such as the role of physical chemistry in enzyme reactions, the thermodynamics of living systems, and the use of physical chemistry in drug design.Throughout the book, Philip emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between chemists, biologists, and medical professionals. He argues that a deep understanding of physical chemistry is essential for anyone working in these fields, and that advances in physical chemistry have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of biological systems and the treatment of disease.Overall, Physical Chemistry: Its Bearing On Biology And Medicine is a groundbreaking work that helped to establish the importance of physical chemistry in the fields of biology and medicine. Though it was written over a century ago, the book remains relevant today and is still cited by researchers and scholars in these fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
