Comprehensive Human Physiology, Vol. 1: From Cellular Mechanisms to Integration

Comprehensive Human Physiology is a significantly important publication on physiology, presenting state-of-the-art knowledge about both the molecular mechanisms and the integrative regulation of body functions. This is the first time that such a broad range of perspectives on physiology have been combined to provide a unified overview of the field. This groundbreaking two-volume set reveals human physiology to be a highly dynamic science rooted in the ever-continuing process of learning more about life. Each chapter contains a wealth of original data, clear illustrations, and extensive references, making this a valuable and easy-to-use reference. This is the quintessential reference work in the fields of physiology and pathophysiology, essential reading for researchers, lecturers and advanced students.

"...indeed comprehensive ...an excellent treatise that integrates a vast amount of molecular, cellular and systematic physiologic information ...it is a valuable reference work for research physiologists, cellular and molecular biologists, and biochemists." The New England Journal of Medicine
