- The Extended Organism
- J. Scott Turner
- Building on Richard Dawkins's classic, The Extended Phenotype, physiological ecologist Scott Turner shows why drawing the boundary of an organism's physiology at the skin of the animal is arbitrary. Since the structures that animals build undoubtedly do physiological work, capturing and channeling chemical and physical energy, Turner argues that such structures are more properly regarded not as frozen behaviors but as external organs of physiology and even extensions of the animal's phenotype.

- Metabolic Arrest and the Control of Biological Time
- Peter W. Hochachka
- Michael Guppy
- What mechanisms turn down (or off) cell metabolism and other cell functions? How does an animal such as an opossum know when to activate mechanisms for slowing or stopping tissue and organ functions? These capabilities raise important questions, which Hochachka and Guppy explore in this seminal new book. This is a pioneering book of great use to biomedical/clinical researchers and to biologists, biochemists, and physiologists generally.

- The Tinkerer's Accomplice
- J. Scott Turner
- Physiologist Scott Turner argues eloquently that the apparent design we see in the living world only makes sense when we add to Darwin's towering achievement the dimension that much modern molecular biology has left on the gene-splicing floor: the dynamic interaction between living organisms and their environment. Only when we add environmental physiology to natural selection can we begin to understand the beautiful fit between the form life takes and the way life works.
