The American scientist author explains the discovery of the biological clock that governs the behaviour of all life and unfolds the researches that have made the living clocks a central concern of biologists seeking to understand our environment. Research has uncovered, for example, how leaves sleep, how bees orient themselves, how four cells serve as a clock for cockroaches, how a prolonged stay underground alters human reactions and why long distance plane travellers experience disorientation. **** NOT EX LIB **** B2A Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
