About the book
"This book brings together the behavioral, physiological, and neuroendocrine regulation of calcium and introduces an understanding of how the brain orchestrates whole-body demands for calcium. The approach is that behavior, in addition to physiology, serves bodily maintenance. The book links basic and clinical literature surrrounding calcium homeostasis, as a wide variety of clinical syndromes are tied to calcium metabolism. Because calcium is so important during life stages particular to women, the book emphasizes the relevance of calcium to women's health, although this emphasis is not exclusive: calcium is fundamental to both sexes."--Jacket.
First sentence: There is a long tradition of investigation - harking back to Claude Bernard and Walter Cannon and further advanced by Curt Richter - that has demonstrated how behavior and physiology often serve the same end of maintaining homeostasis.
