Circadian Rhythms

A Very Short Introduction

by Russell Foster, Leon Kreitzman ...

However, these changes are regular, rhythmic and, therefore, predictable. Thus, the near 24 hour circadian rhythm is innate: a genetically programmed clock that essentially ticks of its own accord. This Very Short Introduction explains how ... Read more

The astonishing role of the placenta

by Y. W. Loke ...

Compared to many other animals, the human placenta represents a particularly ... Read more
