Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is essential reading for those with an interest in the processes by which mammals construct oxygen. It is the result of decades of work by the author, a leading expert in respiration. The author explores the chemistry of the blood, providing a comprehensive account of a series of experiments which sought to quantify the amount of oxygen that could be bound to a molecule of haemoglobin. The book places the author's research in its historical context, building on the foundational research of Bohr and others. It also discusses the theoretical and practical implications of the findings, including their potential impact on the understanding of pathologies linked to oxygen capacity. The result is a clear and authoritative account of the respiratory process and its significance for the maintenance of life and healthy bodily function for a range of creatures, including humans.
