Human Body Size and the Laws of Scaling: Physiological, Performance, Growth, Longevity and Ecological Ramifications - Book by Thomas Samaras

Name: Human Body Size and the Laws of Scaling: Physiological, Performance, Growth, Longevity and Ecological Ramifications
Author: Thomas Samaras

Human Body Size and the Laws of Scaling by Thomas Samaras explores how body size influences various physiological processes. Samaras discusses the concept of allometric scaling, which refers to how metabolic rate, heart rate, and other bodily functions change with body size. Larger bodies, for instance, tend to have slower metabolic rates, while smaller bodies consume energy more quickly. The book delves into the clinical implications of these principles, including how body size affects disease risk, drug dosage, and aging.
