Circadian Rhythms: A Very Short Introduction Foster Russell
The earth's daily rotation affects just about every living creature. However, these changes are regular, rhythmic and, therefore, predictable. From dawn through to dusk, there are changes in light, temperature, humidity, and rainfall.
Covering variables such as light, the metabolism, human health, and the seasons, Foster and Kreitzman illustrate how jet lag and shift work can impact on human well-being, and consider circadian rhythms alongside a wide range of disorders, from schizophrenia to obesity.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Thus, the near 24 hour circadian rhythm is innate: a genetically programmed clock that essentially ticks of its own accord.This Very Short Introduction explains how organisms can know the time and reveals what we now understand of the nature and operation of chronobiological processes.
