Description
This text complements the standard physiology textbooks. It shows how the physiology of an individual changes throughout life and with extremes of environment. These are areas which are often only superficially covered by the standard texts. This book is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of physiology.

Description
Most physiology textbooks tend to focus on a "snapshot" taken at a particular time of life under standard conditions. This text takes a unique approach to physiology, by empahasizing the adaptations to changing demands, such as age and environment. The ideal complement to standard physiology textbooks, it highlights the importance of considering stressful circumstances and conditions as an aid to understanding normal mechanisms more fully. A completely revised
successor to the authors' Variations in Human Physiology, this new book is of immense value to students studying physiology on science courses or preclinical courses in medicine or dentistry.
