How Bodies Work: Animal Physiology
Do you ever wonder what makes you grow? Or why you
shiver when you are cold? Have you ever marveled at
the speed of a cheetah, the fastest land animal on earth?
Or been awed at how a chameleon can change color? Such
mysteries are part and parcel of "animal physiology,"
the science that investigates how different animal bodies
work. Learning how they do so increases our appreciation
of the uniqueness and diversity of the vast animal kingdom,
and adds to our understanding of how our own human bodies
work.
How Bodies Work: Animal Physiology offers a glimpse inside ourselves and the amazing creatures around us.
