The Clocks That Time Us: Physiology of the Circadian Timing System

Biological Sciences

Today's sophisticated technology and the constant drive for profit have driven us on to greater and more spectacular advances, but have failed to make adequate allowance for human limitations. Arguing that the human body is not well-enough equipped for the world we have created, this book sets out to show that the Chernobyl explosion, the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, Three Mile Island, Bhopal, and many other errors, accidents and deaths, were the results of human fatigue caused by the round-the-clock pace of our non-stop world. The author goes on to offer radical prescriptions which he believes people should follow if they are to improve the quality of their lives, and increase the safety of airlines, nuclear-power plants, hospital emergency rooms, motorways and factories.
