Human Calorimeters (Endocrinology and metabolism series)

Calorimeters, the fundamental tool in thermal physiology, have shown that energy is conserved and they have established the scientific basis of nutrition and characterized the metabolic states in fever and disease. In all, 36 human calorimeters have been built in the past 95 years. Human Calorimeters presents an historical survey of the research produced from human calorimeters to date.
