The First Edition Of The Textbook Of Medical Physiology Was Written By Arthur C. Guyton Almost 55 Years Ago. Unlike Most Major Medical Textbooks, Which Often Have 20 Or More Authors, The First Eight Editions Of The Textbook Of Medical Physiology Were Written Entirely By Dr. Guyton, With Each New Edition Arriving On Schedule For Nearly 40 Years. The Textbook Of Medical Physiology, First Published In 1956, Quickly Became The Best-selling Medical Physiology Textbook In The World. Dr. Guyton Had A Gift For Communicating Complex Ideas In A Clear And Interesting Manner That Made Studying Physiology Fun. He Wrote The Book To Help Students Learn Physiology, Not To Impress His Professional Colleagues
