摘要：Rhythms of Life is a successful attempt to present what is currently known about time cycles in living creatures. It is a book about biological clocks, that is, the biological mechanisms that enable all organisms from bacteria to worms, plants, birds and mammals, including humans, to ‘tell’ the time. This extraordinary ability in organisms allows the exhibition of rhythmic behaviour that can be presented in cycles of a single day (circadian) or longer than one day (infradian).
