ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY is one of the volumes in the new Foundations of Mod ern Biology Series. As do all the Foundations books, ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY stresses principles without excessive detail, and stands as a very thorough, well-written. treatment of its specific subject area. At the same time it is a working part of the larger series concept.
The reader interested in biology, physiology, and wider areas of natural science will find in this compact volume an elementary presentation of animal physiology containing clear definitions and discussions of the most important concepts. He will find that the author's approach encourages and promotes thinking in these clear concepts rather than merely requiring the accumulation of a mass of information. Strong reader interest is sustained by Professor Schmidt-Nielsen's fascinating descriptions of some of the special and unique problems that animals meet in their surroundings.
