This book makes an effort an effort to meet the requirement of undergraduate and post-graduate to understand, unless presented in a simple and clear manner. The main objective of the book is to express the fundamental principles and physiological basis of modern medicine in a form which will make the subject clear, lucid and easily understandable to the Indian students of medicine,by avoiding unnecessary or complicated details. While presenting basic fundamentals of physiology and recent concepts that has evolved on the subject, the book strives to present a balanced exposition of the general principles and physiology and experimental research.

Completely revised, entirely rewritten, thoroughly updated, and judiciously enlarged by a highly qualified and experienced team of editors.

The Principles and Practice of Human Physiology reflects the progress of human physiology and presents developments through instrumentation and field work. This book is a continuation of previous texts on human physiology and survival, but focuses more on the aspect of human endeavor. The text comprises of 12 chapters with an additional article at the beginning (written by one of the authors) and a postscript regarding human experimentation and the ethics of it. Chapter 1 lays the foundation with a discussion on the history of human physiology. The succeeding chapters tackle and focus on aspects of physiology such as work, thermal, underwater, locomotor and postural, and stress. A chapter on instrumentation and physiological measurements is also featured in the text. The book will be a good source of valuable information to many students and professionals in the field of physiology, biology, medicine, and pharmacology.
