Saber Saleuddin, PhD, is University Professor Emeritus of the Department of Biology at York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Dr. Saleuddin received his early education in Bangladesh. He received his doctorate in molluscan zoology from the University of Reading in the UK. After an NRC Research Fellowship at the University of Alberta, studying biomineralization in molluscs, he continued his research on biomineralization in the laboratory of Karl Wilbur at Duke University. Though offered a position at Duke, he accepted a faculty appointment at York University in Canada, where he taught for 37 years. The university recognized his outstanding contributions to research, teaching, and administration by honoring him as a University Professor. He has published more than a hundred papers in international journals and has co-edited three books on molluscan physiology. He served as co-editor of the Canadian Journal of Zoology for 18 years and was president of the Canadian Society of Zoologists, from whom he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. Spencer Mukai, PhD, is currently an instructor and technician at York University's Glendon College campus (Toronto, Ontario, Canada), where he is facilitating the implementation of a new biology undergraduate teaching laboratory. Dr. Mukai's research interests are in the neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction, growth, and osmoregulation in molluscs. He has published in and served as reviewer for national and international journals. After receiving his BSc and PhD from the Department of Biology, York University, Dr. Mukai has spent time as a postdoctoral fellow and research associate as well as an instructor at York University's Keele campus. He has demonstrated labs in invertebrate physiology and zoology for many years and has taught a variety of courses, including invertebrate physiology and endocrinology, animal physiology, environmental physiology, histology, human physiology, parasitology, introductory biology, ecology, and conservation biology.
This two-volume set provides up-to-date reviews that are useful both for new entrants to the field of molluscan physiology and also for established researchers.ã While the emphasis of the collection is on neurobiology and behaviour, there are also excellent reviews covering a range of fields including physiological, biochemical and biophysical processes underlying biomineralization, estivation, envenomation, locomotion and reproduction. The compilations of modern overviews together with commentaries and perspectives by leading investigators warrant reading both volumes cover to cover by anyone working on or even just interested in molluscs and their diversity. -Roger Croll, PhD, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
