Work by international researchers is gathered here, focusing on body temperature regulation, or thermoregulation, in humans and animals. Contributors review relevant principles of thermodynamics, and present studies on factors such as diet, exercise, and drugs. Early chapters review fundamental principles governing behavioral thermoregulation, then outline the functional architecture of the human thermoregulatory system. Later chapters look at topics including neonatal thermoregulation, the use of infrared thermography, and the effects of environmental temperature and metabolic behavior. Some non-human thermoregulation systems examined include those of hornets, domestic fowl, and mice. B&w diagnostic images are included.
