Derek Denton’s The Hunger for Salt: An Anthropological, Physiological and Medical Analysis is an extensive scholarly study of salt appetite, sodium regulation and the biological drive for salt across humans and animals. Combining physiology, medicine, anthropology, evolutionary history and animal behaviour, Denton examines sodium deficiency, body fluid regulation, hormones, salt taste and appetite, blood pressure, the renin angiotensin system, human evolution and cultural practices surrounding salt. This substantial illustrated reference includes hundreds of figures, photographs, diagrams and experimental data and remains of particular interest to researchers in physiology, medicine, neuroscience, nutrition, anthropology and the history of medical science. This copy shows visible wear to the covers and some age related marks consistent with use, while the internal pages present well overall. Please see the photographs for the exact condition.
