* Project | * Project: I would like to begin work on a concise but informative compendium of scientific volumes that describe basic physiological processes with the non-scientist in mind. For example, each volume would focus on the basic anatomy and physiology of one anatomical organ (e.g., kidney), or perhaps one major integrative process (e.g., how blood pressure and kidney function are related).
