Harvey's Heart
In 1628, William Harvey announced to the world his discovery of the circulation of the blood. Over 100 years before the Industrial revolution, man began to be understood using mechanical metaphors and Harvey's discoveries were integral to this. Bur Harvery himself descended from the Aristotelian tradition of anatomy. How did this great revolution come about?
