Description:Excerpt from Records of the Columbia Historical Society, WashingtonOne of the triumphs of modern chemistry has been achieved in the field of living organisms. Biochem istry represents the particular line of research which has thus enriched our knowledge of life. Long ago scientific men were struck with the similarity of the action of the human organism and of the steam engine. In the one case food is placed in the stomach and heat and energy are developed; in the other case fuel is placed in the furnace and heat and energy are devel oped. Engineers were not slow to notice the enormous efficiency of the human engine as compared with that made of steel and iron. A pound of fuel fed to a grown man will develop apparently many times as much en ergy as a pound of coal fed to the boiler of an engine. In other words the mechanism of the body, in so far as the use of fuel is concerned, is a much more finished machine than that built by man.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
