Animal Physiology presents all the branches of modern animal physiology with a strong emphasis on integration among physiological disciplines, ecology, and evolutionary biology. Its full-colour illustration program includes many novel, visually effective features to help students learn.
Richard W. Hill is Professor in the Department of Zoology at Michigan State University and a frequent Guest Investigator at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He received his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Michigan. Apart from Sinauer Associates' editions of "Animal Physiology", Dr. Hill has authored two other books on the subject (the second with Gordon Wyse), as well as numerous articles for scientific journals, encyclopedias, and edited volumes. Among the awards he has received are the Outstanding Faculty Award (Michigan State University Senior Class Council) and election as Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was a U.S. Senior Fulbright Scholar in 2000-2001. His research interests include: temperature regulation and energetics in birds and mammals, especially neonates; and environmental physiology of marine tertiary sulfonium and quaternary ammonium compounds, especially in the contexts of biogeochemistry and animal-algal symbioses.
Gordon A. Wyse is Professor of Biology Emeritus and Lecturer at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan, then did postdoctoral and sabbatical work at Stanford University and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Wyse helped found the graduate program in Neuroscience and Behavior at UMass Amherst. He has served on the Editorial Board of "Advances in Physiology Education" and as Associate Dean of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. His research interests include the neural control of feeding behavior and other behavior patterns.
Margaret Anderson is Professor of Biological Sciences at Smith College. After completing her Ph.D. at Stanford University, she undertook postdoctoral studies at the Universidad Cat#lica de Chile, Harvard University, and the University of Puerto Rico. At Smith, Dr. Anderson has served as an Academic Dean, Director of the Program in Neuroscience, and premedical advisor. She is one of six founding members of the Consortium of Medical Schools and Women's Colleges, and she contributes to several efforts that encourage women and minorities in the sciences. Her research interests include the functional properties of excitable cells.

这本《动物生理学,第二版》简直是为我这种对生命科学充满好奇的本科生量身定做的教材。我记得第一次翻开它的时候,就被它清晰的逻辑和详尽的阐述所吸引。它不像一些老旧的教科书那样堆砌着晦涩难懂的专业术语,而是用一种非常流畅且富有启发性的方式,将复杂的生理过程层层剥开。尤其是在讨论跨膜转运机制和神经信号传递那几章,作者似乎能预料到读者在哪些地方会感到困惑,并提前用非常巧妙的比喻和图示进行了解释。我尤其欣赏它对不同物种间生理差异的比较分析,这让原本抽象的理论变得生动起来,真正体现了“生命科学的广阔性”。当我需要回顾某个关键概念时,书后的总结和习题设置也极其到位,它们不仅仅是简单的知识点复述,更是引导我思考更高层次的生物学问题。这本书已经成为了我实验室学习和自习时的必备工具书,每次重读都能发现新的理解层次。
评分作为一名有志于从事兽医学实践的毕业生,我最看重的是教材的实用性和临床相关性。这本书在理论深度之外,成功地融入了大量的“应用案例”,这让我觉得学习起来更有目标感。它不仅仅是告诉我心脏是如何跳动的,更重要的是,它会紧接着讨论在不同病理条件下(比如失血性休克或慢性心衰)这些生理功能会如何发生偏离。这种将基础生理与病理生理无缝衔接的处理方式,极大地帮助我建立起一个完整的临床思维链条。我记得有一次在实习中遇到一个关于电解质紊乱的复杂病例,正是书中关于渗透压调节那部分扎实的知识点,让我迅速定位了问题所在。这本书的语言风格非常直接且富有权威性,没有太多文学性的修饰,每一个句子都充满了信息密度,非常适合需要高效获取知识的读者。
评分说实话,我最初拿到这本书时,对它的厚度有些望而生畏,但一旦开始阅读,便发现时间过得飞快。这本书最让我惊喜的是它对进化论视角的坚持。它没有把动物生理学当作一个静止的知识集合来呈现,而是始终探讨这些精妙机制是如何在漫长的自然选择压力下逐渐演化而来的。比如,在比较不同动物的呼吸色素载体时,它不仅描述了它们的结构差异,还探讨了这些差异如何适应各自独特的生活环境,如深海高压或高海拔低氧。这种深植于进化背景下的讲解,让学习过程充满了“历史感”和“智慧感”。它不仅是知识的传授,更是一种对生命适应性与多样性之美的深刻揭示。这本书的价值远超一本普通的教科书,它更像是一部关于生命如何解决生存挑战的史诗。
评分我对这本书的评价可以概括为一个词:体系化。我过去阅读过一些专注于单一系统(比如神经或循环)的专业书籍,它们往往在某个领域非常深入,但却缺乏将所有系统整合起来的宏观视角。这本《动物生理学,第二版》在这方面做得尤为出色,它清晰地展示了各个生理系统之间是如何相互依赖、动态平衡的。读完关于能量代谢的那一部分后,再回过头看运动生理学,我能更深刻地理解到肌肉收缩的能量来源和废物清除机制是如何与其他器官系统协同运作的。它仿佛为我提供了一张完整的动物生命体运行的“总蓝图”。这种从宏观到微观,再回归宏观的叙事结构,极大地提升了我的学习效率,让我不再将各个知识点视为孤立的模块,而是视为一个有机的整体。
评分我是一个研究生,主要的研究方向是比较内分泌学,坦白说,市面上关于动物生理学的书籍汗牛充栋,但真正能深入浅出探讨调控机制精妙之处的却凤毛麟角。我对这本《动物生理学,第二版》的印象是其内容的深度和广度达到了一个非常高的平衡点。它没有停留在简单的“是什么”的层面,而是深入探究了“为什么”和“如何实现”的分子和细胞机制。例如,在描述肾脏生理学时,它对激素如何调节离子平衡的描述,结合了最新的信号通路研究成果,这对于我撰写文献综述时提供了非常坚实的基础和参考框架。它的排版和插图设计也极其专业,色彩运用得当,使得那些原本需要花费大量精力去想象的细胞器动态过程变得一目了然。我发现,即使是面对一些前沿的、尚存争议的研究热点,作者也给出了审慎且基于证据的讨论,这极大地培养了我的批判性思维。
