Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the groundbreaking contributions of Walter Cannon to the understanding of physiological responses, particularly the "fight or flight" reaction to threats. Cannon's influential work in the early 20th century laid the foundation for the study of emotional excitement and self-regulation in humans, introducing the concept of "Homeostasis." He expanded on Claude Bernard's ideas, articulating four key propositions that outline the features of homeostasis. This reprint preserves the original 1925 edition, providing a comprehensive look at Cannon's research and theories.
