Timing of Biological Clocks (Scientific American Library)

Very Good first edition hardcover. Green cloth boards remain clean and bright with light shelf wear and minor rubbing to extremities. Binding is firm and square. Interior pages are clean, bright, and unmarked. No dust jacket, likely as issued in the Scientific American Library format. A handsome copy overall. Arthur T. Winfree's influential exploration of biological rhythms and circadian timing systems. Drawing on mathematics, biology, physiology, and physics, Winfree examines the mechanisms governing biological clocks in living organisms, from cellular rhythms to complex behavioral cycles. Richly illustrated throughout with photographs, diagrams, and scientific imagery, the work presents advanced chronobiological concepts in an accessible manner. A significant contribution to the study of chronobiology by one of the field's leading researchers. Particularly valuable for collectors and scholars of biological sciences, neuroscience, physiology, sleep research, and the history of scientific thought. Scientific American Library volumes are noted for their high production quality and enduring relevance as scientific reference works. Carefully packed and shipped in a box.
