William Francis Ganong fue un botánico e historiador canadiense que contribuyó significativamente a la comprensión histórica y geográfica de su nativa provincia de Nuevo Brunswick. Su carrera profesional se centró en la botánica, sirviendo como profesor en Smith College. Sin embargo, en su vida privada, se dedicó profundamente al estudio de la historia y la cartografía de su tierra natal, creando a menudo sus propios mapas de sus exploraciones. Su interés de toda la vida por la naturaleza y los idiomas, incluyendo el conocimiento de lenguas indígenas, enriqueció su investigación.
Organized by organ system, each chapter discusses normal structure and function, pathology and disordered physiology, common clinical presentations and mechanisms underlying symptoms and signs.
