During the past decade many review papers and books have been
devoted to descriptions and analyses of biological rhythms
(chronobiology) in plants and animals. These contributed greatly to
demonstrating the impor tance of bioperiodicities in living beings
in general. However, the practi cal aspects of chronobiology with
regard to human health and improving the treatment of disease have
not yet been a major focus of publication. One of our aims is to
establish the relevance of biological rhythms to the practice of
medicine. Another is to organize and convey in a simple fashion
information pertinent to health- and life-science professionals so
that students, researchers, and practitioners can achieve a clear
and pre cise understanding of chronobiology. We have limited
scientific jargon to unavoidable basic and well-defined terms and
we have emphasized illus trative examples of facts and concepts
rather than theories or hypotheti cal mechanisms. This volume is
divided into seven chapters, each of which is compre hensive in its
treatment and includes an extensive bibliography. The book is
organized to serve as a textbook and/or reference handbook of modem
applied chronobiology. Chapter 1 describes the historical
development of chronobiology and reviews why, when, and how major
concepts were introduced, accepted, and transformed."
