DESCRIPTION This friendly text is based on the premise that all nurses need a working knowledge of the normal functioning of the human body. It is only when we understand the normal that the abnormal pathological situation makes any senses. If we can understand how the body goes wrong then it often becomes obvious what needs to be done to treat a disorder. This means physiology and pathophysiology can both be used to inform our clinical interventions and provide us with rationales for care. John Campbell initially wrote these notes as a guide for his students and because they proved so useful he decided to expand and publish them. The aim has been to keep the text concise but to explain the physiology and necessary basic science in a way that is easy to understand and learn. Diagrams are an important part of this philosophy. When the book was first discussed John thought about getting the diagrams professionally drawn, but rather than do so he decided to draw the diagrams himself, just as he does for his students.

DESCRIPTION Comparative developmental physiology is a growing discipline examining a diversity of organisms as they transform from single cells to mature, reproductive individuals. This collection of original, innovative essays emerged from a Roundtable on Comparative Developmental Physiology held in Glen Rose, Texas in the summer of 2002. This meeting brought together investigators studying the physiology of developing animals in an effort to identify the field's potential contributions to biology. The participants honed in on common emerging themes and future goals, which are reflected in the chapters within. The nascent community of comparative developmental physiologists was challenged to amplify the power of data collection and tool development by focusing on a few select model organisms, while still employing the power of the broader, more traditional comparative approach. Evolution has provided comparative developmental physiologists with remarkable biological diversity, which they have used to investigate a broad range of questions critical for understanding how life works. This goes beyond the basic nuts and bolts of cellular mechanisms to the functional whole, from the mechanistic level to behavior within and between organisms. The union of developmental biology with the breadth of comparative physiology holds much promise for a deeper understanding of evolutionary processes. CONTENTS Contributors Introduction 1.
