From Fish To Philosopher: Journal of Allied Health Editorials: 2008-2020

From Fish To Philosopher is the title of a book that Dr. Thomas Elwood, the current Editor of the Journal of Allied Health, read in 1962. It relates the story of vertebrate kidney evolution seen through the function of that organ at different phylogenetic levels. A similar embryological perspective can be employed usefully as a conceptual framework to reveal how the Journal continues to evolve from one quarterly issue to the next by reflecting changing sets of circumstances over a defined time interval. This collection of 40 editorials by the author, spanning the years 2008 to 2020, documents changing perspectives over that period.
