Comparative Physiology of Thermoregulation, Volume III. Special Aspects of Thermoregulation
نویسنده
چکیده
The intent of this book, if one were to judge from the title, would be a handbook in the supporting structures necessary for the accomplishment of patient care in pediatric surgery. After reviewing the material in some detail, I find that it does not fulfill this role and that it indeed fulfills no evident role that can be determined from reading it. The treatment of most individual sections is so superficial that is not useful and the number of sections and specific conditions that are dealt with precludes any completeness in the dealing with any one of them. The book would seem to be fragmentary recall on the part of the author on a number of subjects put down in a form which is not useful as a reference text and difficult reading as a narrative. I was diverted by many misspellings and inadequate grammatical forms. Many of the references are long out-dated and not current. In general, I found little merit or value to the book. My primary concern is that the book has very little relationship to its title.

l. Thermoregulatory patterns and levels of controlled body temperature ( Tb) in adult female Myotis thysanodes and M. lucifugus throughout their stay in maternity colonies are significantly affected by stage of reproduction and even more by stage of pregnancy, but are not affected by abundance of body fat or age. 2.
