The Shocking History of Electric Fishes: From Ancient Epochs to the Birth of Modern Neurophysiology
Finger, Stanley (Professor, Professor, Department of Psychology, Washington University)
This beautifully illustrated and scholarly book examines the importance of electric fishes in science and medicine and how three species in particular shaped neurophysiology. Anchored in the philosophy and science of past epochs, it is the story of one of Nature's greatest puzzles. Over a long and tortuous path, it focuses on how some numbing fishes helped to make physiology modern.
