Book Description
Circadian rhythms have been shown to be ubiquitous and critically important in the experimental laboratory, accounting for the difference between life and death in response to identical stimulus. The partly endogenous nature of circadian rhythms has been well documented and methods for their characterisation have been developed enabling the cellular and molecular mechanisms to be understood. Chronobiology and Chronomedicine aims to provide a review of these mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms and illustrate the role of the brain’s suprachiasmatic nuclei in the ‘pace-making’ process and the effects caused by ‘clock genes’ present in almost all cells. Beyond the mechanisms involved, the book discusses the relationship between body systems, disease, and proper circadian function; in particular, how disruption of the circadian rhythm is associated with ill health and disease status from observations made at the organismic level. The book is organised to be an ideal introduction for the postgraduate in various fields, reviewing developments and outlining methods to show the depth and breadth of chronobiology and chronomedicine, as well as an invaluable companion to researchers and healthcare professionals working in the field with an interest in developing novel therapeutic approaches.

Book Description
The time structure of living systems, which rules the autonomous temporal order of organisms as well as their coherence with the outer environment, has aroused considerable attention in biology and medicine since 1937, when a few European scientists gathered to establish this new field of research. This volume contains the Proceedings of the 2nd Annual Meeting of the European Society for Chronobiology, held in Marburg in 1986. It mirrors the great advances of chronobiology and chronomedicine in theory and practice up to the present. Distinguished scientists from European and other countries report on recent results in basic research and medical applications.

Book Description
The contemporary chronobiology covers increasingly wider areas of not only biological, but also medical sciences. Its development, particularly impressive in recent years, is proportional to the increase in the interest in this fascinating and important field, both in the West and East of Europe. This volume contains selected Proceedings of the 5th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Chronobiology, held in Cracow in 1989. It was the first meeting of European chronobiologists in a communist ruled country.

Book Description
This volume contains the proceedings of the 4th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Chronobiology, held jointly with the British Society for Chronobiology at Birmingham, UK, 1988. Contributions, both fundamental and applied, illustrate the multidisciplinary nature of contemporary chronobiology and indicate how an understanding of biological rhythms may contribute to various aspects of human biology and endeavour.

Book Description
The regular alternation of light and dark affects not only human biological systems, but also the social organization of behavior. The effect of such light modes is manifested in periodic changes in physiological functions and biological rhythms exhibited at every level of life. The book discusses some of the specificities of the circadian rhythms in living organisms and mentions aspects of the control of circadian rhythms as well as experimental and clinical cases that are closely related to circadian disruption. This book can evoke interest in many researchers who want to use this information for the advancement of their research towards a better understanding of the biological time structure.

Book Description
The development of Chronobiology is illustrated by the diversity of fields, both fundamental and applied, in which the study of rhythmicities is increasingly becoming an essential part of the research. This book covers the Proceedings of the VI Annual Meeting of the European Society for Chronobiology, which took place in Barcelona in July 1990. It describes the recent advances in Chronobiology by scientists from Europe working on basic research as well as on medical applications.

Book Description
This volume covers the recent developments in chronobiology in both East and West Europe. It mirrors the advances of Chronomedicine, the increasing interest for the inherent time structure of living systems, and their interactions with the external world, as well as their practical applications, as presented by distinguished scientist at the VIIth annual meeting of the European Society for Chronobiology in Marburg 1991.
