By his discovery of the circulation of the blood, Harvey laid the foundation of scientific biology and medicine. And yet Harvey was the child of a pre-rationalistic age. He was the life-long thinker on the purpose and indeed the mystery of circular phenomena: the circulation of the blood on the one hand and the cycle of generation on the other, both forming the microscopic copy of a cosmological pattern. Walter Pagel's easy-to-read introduction to the man, his ideas and his times makes fascinating and illuminating reading. 606 $aGeneral Medicine 606 $aHistory of Medicine 615 14$aGeneral Medicine 615 24$aHistory of Medicine 700 $aPagel$b W$01215542 801 0$bUKSKG 801 1$bUKSKG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149633103321 996 $aWilliam Harvey's Biological Ideas$92809587 997 $aUNINA
