Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Physiology is
the science of life, and sets out to understand how living things
work and what makes them distinct from the non-living. It considers
how our bodies are supplied with energy, how they maintain their
internal parameters, the ways in which we gather and process
information, the ways we take action, and the creation of new
generations. This Very Short Introduction explores the field of
human physiology, considering how the body works, senses, reacts,
and defends itself. As Jamie A. Davies shows, human life (and
indeed, all life) is sustained by the interplay of a wide variety
of physiological mechanisms and principles. He discusses the
physiological experiments and research undertaken to understand
these processes, and analyses the ethical issues involved. He also
considers the evolution of the scientific field itself, showing how
enhanced understandings of physiological knowledge can help inform
medical research and care. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds
of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books
are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our
expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and
enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
readable.
