From the reviews: "This book adopts a transdisciplinary approach and presents chapters authored by experts on sleep about the effect of sleep on obesity and cancer. ... The book was written for students, researchers, and clinicians across all disciplines but specifically for those involved in sleep, energy balance, and cancer. ... a worthwhile contribution to the field of sleep medicine. It provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art studies on sleep, obesity, and cancer in order to provide information to researchers and clinicians." (M. Isabel L. Crisostomo, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2014)
