Living in the Cold
Physiological and Biochemical Adaptations : Proceedings of the Seventh International Symposium on Natural Mammalian Hibernation, Held October 6-11, 1985, at the Stanford University Conference Center, Fallen Leaf Lake, California, U.S.A.
Description:... This collection of authoritative papers presents significant findings in the physiology of human and animal responses to acute cold. International experts review information based on studies ranging from recent investigations in molecular biology to environmental ecology. The contributors examine the comparative physiology of cold acclimation and cold adaptation and address a variety of important topics, including thermoregulation, neural and endocrine aspects of hibernation and seasonal cycles, and hypothermia. The papers in this volume are derived from the proceedings of the seventh international symposium Natural Mammalian Hibernation, held October 6-11, 1985, in Fallen Leaf Lake, California.
