  • Summary

    This chapter starts with a historical review of ideas about blood flow around the body, culminating in an understanding of circulation, the mechanics of which are described. The propagation of the pressure pulse in arteries is discussed, as is the disturbance to smooth flow caused by the complex geometry of arteries. The deformation of blood cells during their passage along the smallest capillaries is considered, as are the interesting effects of gravity on the venous return to the heart in upright animals, notably those with long necks and legs, such as giraffes and dinosaurs.

  • Summary

    Demonstrates that music was a vital part of the daily routines of those interned in prisoner of war camps. The forming of orchestras and theatrical revues were a popular way of passing the time and maintaining morale, but in many cases musical activities were used by prisoners of war to conceal attempts to escape. This chapter will give examples of how prisoners of war used music as a means of keeping up their morale to stave off feelings of ‘mouldiness,’ later identified as barbed wire disease.
