Human Molecular Genetics is an established and class-proven textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students which provides an authoritative and integrated approach to the molecular aspects of human genetics. While maintaining the hallmark features of previous editions, the Fourth Edition has been completely updated. It includes new Key Concepts at the beginning of each chapter and annotated further reading at the conclusion of each chapter, to help readers navigate the wealth of information in this subject.The text has been restructured so genomic technologies are integrated throughout, and next generation sequencing is included. Genetic testing, screening, approaches to therapy, personalized medicine, and disease models have been brought together in one section. Coverage of cell biology including stem cells and cell therapy, studying gene function and structure, comparative genomics, model organisms, noncoding RNAs and their functions, and epigenetics have all been expanded.

Zug; Vitt; CaldwellHerpetology, Second Edition has been thoroughly revised. The text has been reorganized, new chapters have been added, new text references have been inserted. All this plus new color systematics sections will maintain this book as THE leading textbook on the biology of amphibians and reptiles. The book will also showcase reptiles and amphibians as model systems in conceptual areas of biology. Such a text will help integrate herpetology as a discipline into conceptually oriented undergraduate programs. The book should also appeal to a large audience of sophisticated lay people interested in reptiles and amphibians. * Written by internationally recognized experts on the biology of amphibians and reptiles * Provides a general background on the evolution and morphology of amphibians and reptiles * Details what is known about reproduction and life histories * Examines physiological ecology, emphasizing water balance, temperature, and energy * Integrates population and community ecology with conservation biology * Provides detailed taxonomic accounts of all higher taxa, including high quality distribution maps and color photographs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Textbook introducing students to the biology of amphibians and reptiles, also of interest to researchers and faculty interested in these animals. Features information on reproductive and life history, behavior, social behavior, taxonomic accounts of all higher taxa, and physiological ecology. Color and halftone illustrations. Previous edition: c1993.

This is first attempt to summarise what is know about the region's reptiles and amphibians in a single volume. Ethiopia has many endemic species: more than 30 new herpetological species have been described from the area since 1970 and 40% of Ethiopian frogs are found nowhere else in the world.

Molecular Cell Biology presents the key concepts in cell biology and their experimental underpinnings. The authors, all world-class researchers and teachers, incorporate medically relevant examples where appropriate to help illustrate the connections between cell biology and health and human disease. As always, a hallmark of Molecular Cell Biology is the use of experiments to engage students in the history of cell biology and the research that has contributed to the field.The new edition of Molecular Cell Biology introduces a new member to our author team, respected researcher and teacher Angelika Amon of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Amon is an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute as well as a member of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and the National Academy of Sciences. Her laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms that govern chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis and the consequences when these mechanisms fail during normal cell proliferation and cancer development.In the new edition, the authors have scrutinized every chapter with an eye toward bringing out key concepts and making connections easier to follow. Perennially challenging topics, such as cellular energetics, cell signaling and immunology, have been revised to improve student understanding. Coverage of developmental biology has been streamlined to focus on just those key areas central to cell biology courses. Every figure in the book was reconsidered and, if possible, simplified to highlight key lessons. Revised end-of-chapter materials include new questions, including additional Analyze the Data problems to give students added practice at interpreting experimental evidence.The result is a book that balances currency and experimental focus with attention to clarity, organization, and pedagogy.

So you plan on majoring in Biology. Why wouldn't you want to use what's been described as the best majors' text for learning the subject? That's what you get with Solomon, Martin, Martin and Berg's BIOLOGY. Working like a built-in study guide, the integrated learning system guides you through the material, starting with key concepts for each chapter and learning objectives for each section. Check your grasp of key points before moving on by answering Checkpoint questions at the end of each section. Reinforce your understanding of the learning objectives with chapter summaries, followed by the opportunity to test your new knowledge. To further help you "get it," the eleventh edition uses themes--among others, the evolution of life and the inter-relationship of structure and function--as well as interactive online and multimedia resources. Ready to go for it? Then go for BIOLOGY.

Nueva edición de un libro que ha sido diseñado como texto de botánica, aunque se pretende que sea útil como fuente complementaria de otras disciplinas, tanto en sus aspectos teóricos, como en los datos descriptivos y aplicados. Mantiene el esquema basico de la anterior edicion, desarrollado en cinco bloques tematicos: Taxonomia y nomenclatura Fuentes de caracteres taxonomicos Diversidad y descripcion de los grupos de hongos, algas y de plantas(Briofitas, Helechos, Gimnospermas y Angiospermas) Biodiversidad y conservacion(Jardines botanicos y Biodiversidad) Geobotanica (Bioclimatologia y Biogeografia) Todos los capitulos han sido revisados y actualizados de acuerdo con las recientes tendencias y corrientes cientificas. El capitulo de Taxonomia se ha ampliado con planteamientos de cladistica. La Nomenclatura se ha adaptado a los nuevos codigos internacionales de nomenclatura de Botanica y de Fitosociologia. Se ha ampliado el capitulo de Citologia y Citogenetica, incorporando aspectos moleculares y los avances derivados del empleo de la informacion procedente de la genomica. Los capitulos relacionados con el analisis de los grupos sistematicos se han remodelado en su totalidad, en concordancia con las tendencias actuales en la ordenacion sistematica de cada uno de ellos. El capitulo de Bioclimatologia trata de las relaciones clima/planta, y el de Biogeografia amplia los contenidos basicos relacionados con la distribucion y la caracterizacion y distribucion de los grandes tipos de vegetacion de la Tierra. Se incorpora un capitulo nuevo: Biodiversidad y conservacion, que incluye su definicion, caracterizacion, cuantificacion, distribucion en el espacio, los procesos de extincion asi como los principios y las practicas mas habituales de la conservac
