Zustand: Ausgabe 1973 , leichte Gebrauchsspuren, Einband/Schutzumschlag gering berieben, Umschlag m. Randläsuren, gutes Exemplar. Text / Sprache: Englisch , by H. Precht [u. A.]. With contributions by K. Brück [u. A.], The text of the 1955 German edition, Temperatur und Leben by Precht, Christophersen and Hensel has been completely revised and substantially enlarged for the English edition. The great difference between this and the earlier work in German is that in 1955 there had been no book on the subject for 20 years, so that the material was virtually novel. Since then a number of books and review articles have appeared, but none of these gives a complete survey of the whole subject. When setting out to cover such a large canvas, it is essential to maintain the balance between the various parts of the picture; thus, the physiological aspects of temperature adaptation are always well to the fore. lt is also necessary to ensure that all are viewed from approximately similar standpoints: for instance, the decision was taken always to mention species that diverge from the norm.

The book by PRECHT, CHRISTOPHERSEN and HENSEL referred to in the text as the first edition was published in German in 1955 with the title Temperatur und Leben. The present volume is a revised version of this book, constructed along the same lines, but it cannot properly be called the second edition because it is in English. Yet another difference is in the number of contributors, who now include two microbiologists, seven botanists, three zoophysiologists, one biochemist, and three human physiologists. We have again endeavored to treat as many problems as possible but the main theme is still the adaptation of organisms to changing temperatures. What was conceived as a chapter on physical and chemical aspects by Professor L. LUMPER of GieBen will be published later as a supplementary volume. A special effort has been made to cover the copious literature published since 1955 though not, of course, exhaustively. The various chapters were completed at different times and those written earlier have footnotes referring to subsequent literature. The botanical contributions by W. LARCHER, K. NAPP-ZINN and A. PISEK were translated by Mrs. JOY WIESER; Dr. J. M. AUGENFELD was the translator of those on poikilotherms by H. D. JANKOWSKY, H. LAUDIEN and H. PRECHT as well as of those on homeotherms by H. HENSEL, K. BRUCK and P. RATHS. The section on limiting temperatures by H. PRECHT was translated by HAZEL PROSSER. We are grateful to them for undertaking this work.
