Book project
The International Union of Physiological Sciences publishes – in association with Elsevier – a series of books focussing on “Fundamentals of Physiology” as well as “Hot topics in Physiology“. Up to now 3 volumes have been published which may be of great use for faculty, students, researchers, and clinicians who are interested in the field. Below find a short descriptions of these volumes.
On Oxygen: from Air to Tissues, provides a fundamental overview of the entire oxygen pathway, sharing key mechanistic insights into the alternating conductive and diffusive steps of O2 transport. The book describes specific aspects along each stage of the oxygen route through the body, from the transfer of air to the alveoli, through the lungs, to the ultimate fate of O2 in the mitochondria. Additionally, the effect of specific disease states, aging, and developmental aspects are considered.
Sex, Gender and Function provides a fundamental overview on sex and gender differences in all aspects of physiology. The book shares information on sex and gender differences in a variety of topics in a single comprehensive volume. This book, published in association with the International Union of Physiological Sciences acts as a primer of information scientists can build upon with their own research in sex and gender-based research.
Truth Unveiled: Navigating Science and Society in an Era of Doubt provides valuable information to inform researchers and clinicians and better train students on the broader aspects of the scientific process and how to best counteract mis- and disinformation
