Description

This book is an exploration of the relationship between time and human biological processes, offering examples of seemingly miraculous timing mechanisms in the human body. This approach to human biology provides scientific explanations for such questions as "How does the heart keep time?", "What governs growth cycles, reproductive cycles, the aging process and the healing process?" and "How do seasons affect our moods?".
