Inhaltsangabe

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. This book provides not only the more recent results in each of its chapters but also suggests new directions for research.

The intended readership is postgraduate students and research scientists in various fields.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

An old and fascinating area of investigation, high pressure biology studies the role of this environmental factor in thermodynamics and the consequent biological adaptations. Presenting a panoramic view of the subject, this comprehensive volume examines the phenomena from the molecular to the organism level, discussing uni- and multicellular spe
