Recenzii

'All of the topics that must be covered in a text on chronobiology are present. And the production of the book is superb: the many illustrations and photographs are beautifully reproduced and the layout is uncluttered and appealing, so students should like it. In a nutshell, I take my hat off to the many contributors and the publisher for their efforts. The stated goal of the preface has been accomplished - the field now has its much-needed textbook.' - John D. Palmer, University of Massachusetts, Nature
