Science Publishers | 2010 | ISBN: 1578086388 | 575 pages | PDF | 5,4 MB
High
pressure biology is an old, fascinating and stimulating field of research. One of the major reasons for the interest in studying high
pressure is that this environmental factor also plays an important role in thermodynamics and consequently in biology.
Pressure, from a biological perspective, has a bearing on all living creatures. The book presents a panoramic view of this subject from molecules to the overall organism, via the cells and unicellular species, invertebrates and vertebrates, ectotherms and endotherms.
