Since the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine was awarded to researchers of circadian rhythms in 2017, no serious biomedical researcher (and no responsible physician) can be excused for not being aware of the importance of the circadian organization of bodily processes. Now in its fourth edition, Circadian Physiology offers a thorough review of principles and applications of research on circadian rhythms and serves as a comprehensive introduction to the field for life scientists, as a valuable reference book for circadian researchers, as a primer for health practitioners, and as an all-inclusive textbook for university students.New in the fourth edition: every chapter updated with new research findings; 800 text figures now in full color; over 8,000 bibliographic sources now with DOIs

Roberto Refinetti, PhD, is a physiological psychology professor, circadian physiology researcher, and chair of the department of psychology at Boise State University in Idaho, USA. He is also a member of the graduate faculty of the University of Messina (Italy) and was formerly associated with the University of South Carolina, the University of Virginia, the University of Illinois, the University of São Paulo (Brazil), and the University of California at Santa Barbara, where he earned his doctorate. His research program in circadian physiology, which concentrates on the integration of circadian and homeostatic mechanisms, has been funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Professor Refinetti is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Circadian Rhythms and of the interdisciplinary journal Sexuality & Culture.
