In this entertaining and illuminating book, biopsychologist Blumberg explores the many ways that temperature rules the lives of all animals. He moves from the physical principles that govern the flow of heat in and out of our bodies to the many complex evolutionary devices animals use to exploit those principles for their own benefit.
