It presents a clear, logical pathway from the fundamental physiology of thermoregulation, through neurobiology, to clinical applications and disease. Undoubtedly, it will become a must for physiologists, biologists, neurologists, anesthesiologists and all clinicians whose clinical focus includes temperature control, as e.g. in internal medicine and endocrinology…\" --Jürgen Werner, Book Review: \"Thermoregulation: From Basic Neuroscience to Clinical Neurology, Part 1\", in Temperature, Volume 5, Issue 3, 2018.
