Pressezitat
For a course more focused on animal physiology, this would certainly work as an appropriate, comprehensive textbook, especially as it includes all of the basics that students would, in theory, know before taking a physiology course, but have surely forgotten ... Overall, the volume is a considerable achievement -- and one that I am happy to have, especially in an electronic format. Theodore Garland Jr., Quarterly Review of Biology
