Introducing Biological Rhythms is a primer that serves to introduce individuals to the area of biological rhythms. It describes the major characteristics and discusses the implications and applications of these rhythms, while citing scientific results and references. Also, the primer includes essays that provide in-depth historic and other background information for those interested in more specific topics or concepts.
It covers a basic cross-section of the field of chronobiology clearly enough so that it can be understood by a novice, or an undergraduate student, but that it would also be sufficiently technical and detailed for the scientist.
Review:
Feedback from others the authors have received
As a co-author of the book "Introducing Biological Rhythms," I would like to share with potential readers some of the comments that we have received from others who have already received a copy. I hope this may help others who might be interested in some of the topics in our book. Thanks.
"I started immediately to read [the book] and also brought it with me on the train, in the plane and any place where I could sit and read. It is well written... To me it is the only book today that covers the whole field of Chronobiology, and you find everything there. It is a very useful reference that I will recommend to anybody that might be interested in the field. I will also get the institute to buy extra copies... I am really impressed by your work." Ole D. Laerum, PhD, Director, Stem Cell Research Group, The Gade Institute, Department of Pathology, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway.
"It represents an encyclopedic coverage viewed from Minnesota...; the infradian cover is particularly interesting." Hugh H. Simpson, MD, Division of Pathology, Royal Infirmary, Glasgow, Scotland.
"The book looks beautiful... Congratulations for this great amount of work, with an approach that is different from the one now `in vogue' in our field!" Francis Lévi, MD, Directeur, Cancer Chronotherapeutics, H
