I’m deeply interested in the history of muscle mechanics. I collect books covering the work of early pioneers. Below is a list of books that I own, and next to that books that I’m looking for. If you have any books on my list, please let me know!

Books I own

• 1864: Rudolf Heidenhain — Mechanische Leistung, Wärmeentwicklung und Stoffumsatz bei Muskeltätigkeit

• 1881: Adolf Fick — Mechanische Arbeit und Wärmeentwicklung bei der Muskeltätigkeit

• 1965: Archibald Vivian Hill — Trails and Trials in Physiology

• 1970: Archibald Vivian Hill — First and Last Experiments in Muscle Mechanics

• 1977: Andrew Huxley — Reflections on muscle

• 1981: Herbert Hatze — A general myocybernetic control model of skeletal muscle

Books I’d like to own

• 1848: Johannes Müller — Archiv für Anatomie
  (This edition contains the famous Hermann von Helmholtz paper on the principle of conservation of energy, pages 144-164)

• 1900: Edward Albert Sharpey-Schafer — Textbook of physiology

• 1903: Adolf Fick — Gesammelte schriften

• 1975: Herbert Hatze — A control model of skeletal muscle and its application to a time-optimal bio-motion
