Sinopsis
This is a user-friendly monograph designed for medical students as well as graduate students and postdoctoral trainees in medicine and other health-related sciences who need a comprehensive overview of thermoregulation. It presents the bases of the modern concepts in thermal physiology and pathophysiology, bringing together the disciplines encompassed by this highly integrative field ― physiology, anatomy, biophysics, molecular and cellular biology, pharmacology, neuroscience, pathology, medicine, and others ― into a clear and concise form that can be read comfortably in a relatively short time. This text was conceived by the Commission on Thermal Physiology of the International Union of Physiological Sciences in response to its concern over the inadequate and outdated coverage of this topic in traditional textbooks. The membership of this Commission comprises international experts in each of the subfields of thermal physiology, with extensive research and teaching experience in their respective specialties. They are the authors of the chapters of this indispendable textbook.
Críticas
"? this book is an excellent resource. It provides the reader with basic, applied, and clinically relevant material on the most pertinent aspects of thermal physiology ? even a neophyte will find aspects of this book fascinating and understandable." The Physiologist, 1999 "Most chapters are superbly written, beautifully illustrated, and highly informative ? This book is a bargain, and one that those interested in thermophysiology will treasure." The Quarterly Review of Biology, Mar 2000
