Bodily Changes In Pain, Hunger, Fear And Rage is a book written by Walter B. Cannon, first published in 1920. The book explores the physiological responses of the human body to four basic emotions: pain, hunger, fear, and rage. Cannon, a physiologist, examines the physical changes that occur in the body when experiencing these emotions, such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and the release of hormones. The book is divided into four main sections, each focusing on a different emotion. In the section on pain, Cannon describes the body's response to both acute and chronic pain, including the release of endorphins and other natural painkillers. In the section on hunger, he explains how the body regulates hunger and appetite through the release of hormones such as ghrelin and leptin. The section on fear explores the body's ""fight or flight"" response, including the release of adrenaline and other stress hormones. Cannon also discusses the role of the sympathetic nervous system in this response. Finally, the section on rage examines the physical changes that occur when experiencing anger, including increased heart rate and blood pressure.Overall, Bodily Changes In Pain, Hunger, Fear And Rage is a seminal work in the field of psychology and physiology, providing a detailed exploration of the physiological responses to basic emotions. The book remains relevant today, as it continues to inform our understanding of the mind-body connection and the ways in which our emotions impact our physical health.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
