Vitamins in endocrine metabolism Book

Good introductory test for those interested in the physico-electrobiochemistry of how Earth organisms operate, with the focus on us humans; occasionally it touches on the comparison between us and other organisms. For example: how much more intellectually conceptual and abstract are we humans than organisms close to us? -- such as cetaceans, other primates, dogs and longer-memoried mammals (e.g., elephants); are chimpanzees and Bonobos just mentally playing out solutions to rather simple (much less complex and complicated) problems of survival before implementing them?
