Book Title: On the Essential Principles and Practice of Circadian Biology: A Road Map

Book Description: Circadian Biology is about the adaptation of life to our rotating world, to the Earth’s 24-hour rhythm of day and night. Not surprisingly, the field has attracted considerable popular and scientific interest from people seeking further study or applications. This new diversity is exciting and invigorating! But newcomers may have little or no foundational knowledge on the essential principles and practice of circadian biology, no framework upon which to incorporate their disciplinary experience and expertise. If this describes you, our intention is to provide you with a Road Map – call it a launching pad, jump start, gateway, or primer – as a first (and hopefully engaging and helpful) step to enter the field and as an entrée to its now voluminous literature.
