Description
Human Physiology: A Very Short Introduction by Jamie Davies explores how living things work and what makes them distinct from non-living. This book delves into the science of life, examining how our bodies are supplied with energy, maintain internal parameters, gather and process information, take action, and create new generations. The author discusses the physiological experiments and research that have helped understand these processes, as well as the ethical issues involved in this field. Davies also considers the evolution of scientific knowledge, showing how enhanced understanding can inform medical research and care. This book is part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, which offers pocket-sized guides to almost every subject area.
