Autorenporträt
Georg Hermann von Meyer (1815-1892) was a distinguished German anatomist and anthropologist, whose scholarly contributions extended into the realm of biomechanics and ergonomics. Although not primarily known as a mainstream author, his work 'Why the Shoe Pinches' represents an intersection of science and practical knowledge, offering insights into the implications of footwear on human anatomy and comfort. This treatise, reflective of Meyer's meticulous study, aims to elucidate the physiological repercussions of poorly designed shoes and is indicative of his broader interest in the functional aspects of human physiology. Meyer's scientific career was marked by his efforts in anthropometry and the study of human movement, which have rendered him an influential figure in the development of orthopedics. His literary style is emblematic of the scientific discourse of his time, characterized by precision and an analytical approach devoid of superfluous embellishments. His writings not only enlightened his colleagues in the medical and scientific communities but also provided valuable knowledge to the lay public, particularly in 'Why the Shoe Pinches'. Through his work, Meyer has left an enduring legacy that continues to resonate within the fields of anatomy and ergonomics.
