الملخص:Why do people have more heart attacks in the early morning? How do bees tell the time? Or reindeer know when to migrate? Why can't teenagers get out of bed in the morning? And how can we avoid jetlag? The answer lies in biological clocks. We live in a 24/7 world dictated by the atomic clock. Yet our bodies, honed by over three billion years of evolution, beat to an older celestial rhythm. Drawing on the latest research in many species of plants, animals, bacteria and algae, this book describes the world of circadian rhythms and makes this area of biological medicine accessible to all. It explains how our daily patterns of sleeping and waking, eating and drinking depend not just on how tired we feel, or how hungry or thirsty we are, but what our biological clocks are telling us. Rhythms of Life provides the essential science that enables us to understand the biological basis of our behaviour. '{The book] takes readers on a captivating journey ... it is time that the profound knowledge of clock research reaches everyone in society; this book does an excellent job in this campaign' Nature
