Biological Effect of Freezing and Supercooling: Monographs of the Physiological Society, No. 9 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258573201)

""Biological Effect Of Freezing And Supercooling: Monographs Of The Physiological Society, No. 9"" by Audrey U. Smith is a scientific book that explores the effects of freezing and supercooling on living organisms. The book is part of a series of monographs published by the Physiological Society, a professional organization of physiologists based in the United Kingdom.The book starts by defining freezing and supercooling and explaining the physical and chemical changes that occur in organisms during these processes. It then delves into the physiological and biochemical mechanisms that allow some organisms to survive freezing and supercooling, while others cannot.The author discusses the effects of freezing and supercooling on different types of organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms. She also examines the role of cryoprotectants, substances that protect organisms from freezing damage, and the different strategies that organisms use to cope with extreme cold.The book is written in a clear and accessible style, with numerous diagrams and illustrations to help readers understand complex concepts. It is aimed at scientists and researchers in the fields of physiology, biochemistry, and cryobiology, as well as students and educators interested in these topics.Overall, ""Biological Effect Of Freezing And Supercooling: Monographs Of The Physiological Society, No. 9"" is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the effects of extreme cold on living organisms, and an important contribution to the field of cryobiology.Edited By H. Barcroft, H. Davson, W. D. M. Paton.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
