Conclusions reached by meta-analyses are also included.In this, the work’s first volume, findings from thousands of studies are summarized regarding basic biology.

The eight chapters comprising Volume I are as follows: Reproduction, Development, and Morphology Anatomical and Physiological Factors Bodily Fluids, Biochemicals, and Biochemical Receptors The Brain: Structure and Functioning Physical Health and Illness Factors Responses to Physical and Chemical Environmental Factors Responses to Stress and to Pain Prenatal Factors The Handbook of Sex Differences is of significant importance for any researcher, student, or professional who requires a comprehensive resource on sex differences.
