Introducing Biological Rhythms is a primer that serves to introduce individuals to the area of biological rhythms. It describes the major characteristics and discusses the implications and applications of these rhythms, while citing scientific results and references. Also, the primer includes essays that provide in-depth historic and other background information for those interested in more specific topics or concepts.
It covers a basic cross-section of the field of chronobiology clearly enough so that it can be understood by a novice, or an undergraduate student, but that it would also be sufficiently technical and detailed for the scientist.
Review:
Feedback from others the authors have received
As a co-author of the book “Introducing Biological Rhythms,” I would like to share with potential readers some of the comments that we have received from others who have already received a copy. I hope this may help others who might be interested in some of the topics in our book. Thanks.
“I started immediately to read [the book] and also brought it with me on the train, in the plane and any place where I could sit and read. It is well written… To me it is the only book today that covers the whole field of Chronobiology, and you find everything there. It is a very useful reference that I will recommend to anybody that might be interested in the field. I will also get the institute to buy extra copies… I am really impressed by your work.” Ole D. Laerum, PhD, Director, Stem Cell Research Group, The Gade Institute, Department of Pathology, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway.
“It represents an encyclopedic coverage viewed from Minnesota…; the infradian cover is particularly interesting.” Hugh H. Simpson, MD, Division of Pathology, Royal Infirmary, Glasgow, Scotland.
“The book looks beautiful… Congratulations for this great amount of work, with an approach that is different from the one now `in vogue’ in our field!” Francis Lévi, MD, Directeur, Cancer Chronotherapeutics, Hôpital Paul Brousse et Université Paris XI, Villejuif, France.
“I am impressed by the number of pages that you have written. It is not surprising that this work demanded several years. I will now read it with a great deal of interest.” Bernard Millet, PhD, Botany Laboratory, Besancon University, Besancon, France.
“I just received your book, congratulations. I already have my students using it. It is great. What a marvelous accomplishment.” Jayna L. Ditty, PhD, Dept of Biology, St. Thomas University, St. Paul, MN.
“Your book is magnificent. I very much respect your work and opinions about rhythms. I hope to give the book some serious reading in the near future. Will pass your book info on to other scientists.” Helen V. Ratajczak, PhD, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Ridgefield, CT.
“I’d like to share, now as a reader, my very good impression of your book. I like it very much. It’s written in a way I appreciate in books - with clear aims and clear messages. The Take-Home Message is a great thing. I like the style - friendly and simple (even when you’re presenting complicated things!), with nice humor.” Oleg Tsinkalovsky, MD, Centre of International Health, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway.
“You have my sincere gratitude for undertaking the Herculean and useful task, for your scholarship in doing it, and for the broad scope of the book on which I congratulate you, and I trust that in reading it I can learn much more about the field and about the two authors.” Franz Halberg, MD, Halberg Chronobiology Center, University of Minnesota, Mpls, MN.
