An Anatomical Study on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals (Translated)

Chauncey D. Leake's 1928 translation

In 1627 no one knew how the heart and blood worked. In 1628 a British doctor named William Harvey changed all that. Surprisingly readable, and in some places even funny, this is the first book to correctly describe the motion of the heart and blood. Useful for students of medical history, modern students of the heart, and anyone curious how the heart works.
