Great point! 

By absolutely sheer coincidence (and definitely not because I'm any type of well read fancy pants), I was just diving into another old book whose last chapter you might be interested in:

The wisdom of the body.
Walter Cannon, 1932
(This book was the first to coin the term "homeostasis" and introduce fight-or-flight).
Available via the internet archive.
