Produktbeschreibung

This book contains invited contributions by top experts in the field of physiological rhythms. It is the first attempt to demonstrate the pronounced similarities between the various types of physiological rhythms and to identify their interrelations. This integrative and interdisciplinary approach will be of interest to physiologists, physicists, physicians, and biologists.
