What reading level is A Textbook of Physiology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

But if th^ individual keeps at rest and protected from cold, there is no increased metabolism during these hours.
External Temperature. — A lowering of the external temperature •excites to more muscular movement, voluntary and involuntary, and thereby increases metabolism. Shivering helps to keep up the teinperatiu-e. Exi)o:;ure to cold wind may double the respkatory •exchange, even if the individual sits quiet in a chair and does not shiver.
There is a relation between the cooling power of the
... atmosphere, the skin temperature, and the rate of metaboHsm. Thus the appetite is increased at a bracing place.
The raising of the body temperature increases the metabolism.
Feeding. — The taking in of food raises the metabolism, partly owing to the mechanical work involved in digestive processes, partly owing to the chemical processes. With some foods this may be very great — as much as 50 per cent, of the energy value of the food taken in. For instance, with a horse chewing hay, 48 per cent, of the energy value is used up in the work of mastication and digestion, whereas but 19-7 per cent, is so used in the case of oats.
