Books: Introduction A L'Etude De La Médecine Expérimentale
The following is a book I've read and reviewed. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not selling books. Knowing four languages, I have access to quite a large amount of books that have never been translated in English, which is the strong point of this list: to give a broader look to what's published.

Description: Bernard (1813-1878) is considered the father of experimental physiology in France. The thesis of the book fits well with the times and brought him great honours notably election to the French Academy. In essence, he argues that progress in medicine is only possible by the application of experimental physiology. His own work on vasoconstriction is a good example of his ideas. Without an hypothesis to be tested, and proper controls for the carrying out of experiments, investigators would only be groping in disorganized toil and the liklihood of clear and solid knowledge emerging from the effort was small.
I'm not suggesting vivisection on extraterrestrials (ok, one joke) at all. The first chapter of the book is an excellent lesson on scientific research it's essential to know. It'll only do you good.
