Derek J. Chadwick & Kate Ackrill 
Circadian Clocks and Their Adjustment [PDF ebook] 

Prestigious contributors describe the genetic, molecular, anatomical and neurochemical mechanisms and pathways that operate to regulate and control circadian rhythmicity and functioning in organisms ranging from unicellular algae to human beings. Also considers the implications of the basic and clinical research for humans.
