      abstract = {Just as daily events are timed by living creatures through  circadian rhythms, so seasonal events are timed through an  internal calendar that signals birds to return to nesting  grounds, salmon to spawn, plants to flower, squirrels to  hibernate, kelp to stop growing. Russell G. Foster and Leon  Kreitzman draw on remarkable recent scientific advances to  explain how seasonal change affects organisms, and how  plants and animals over countless generations have evolved  exquisite sensitivities and adaptations to the seasons. The  authors also highlight the impact of seasonal change on  human health and well-being. They conclude with a  discussion of the dangers posed when climate changes  disrupt the seasonal rhythms on which so much life  depends.},
