The Book of Man: The Human Genome Project and the Quest to Discover Our Genetic Heritage
ISBN: 9780195114874 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. James Watson, a discoverer of the structure of DNA, described it as "the most golden of molecules," the true chemical for life. Indeed, it is the essential component from which our genes are made. In it is encoded the genetic language that controls our destinies. Astonishingly powerful, just six millionths of a gram of DNA carries as much information as ten volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary . The "Book of Man," is the term used by Walter Bodmer and Robin McKie for the DNA that is the instruction set according to which all humans are made. At conception, a single cell--the fertilized...

Structure and Function of an Alpine Ecosystem: Niwot Ridge, Colorado
ISBN: 9780195117288 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book will provide a complete overview of an alpine ecosystem, based on the long-term research conducted at the Niwot Ridge LTER. There is, at present, no general book on alpine ecology. The alpine ecosystem features conditions near the limits of biological existence, and is a useful laboratory for asking more general ecological questions, because it offers large environmental change over relatively short distances. Factors such as macroclimate, microclimate, soil conditions, biota, and various biological factors change on differing scales, allowing insight into the relative contributions...

The Touchstone of Life: Molecular Information, Cell Communication, and the Foundations of Life
ISBN: 9780195118285 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. No one can escape a sense of wonder when looking at an organism from within. From the humblest amoeba to man, from the smallest cell organelle to the amazing human brain, life presents us with example after example of highly ordered cellular matter, precisely organized and shaped to perform coordinated functions. But where does this order spring from? How does a living organism manage to do what nonliving things cannot do--bring forth and maintain all that order against the unrelenting, disordering pressures of the universe?

A Low-Cost Approach to PCR: Appropriate Transfer of Biomolecular Techniques
ISBN: 9780195119268 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used to replicate specific pieces of DNA millions of times, which permits the detection and analysis of minute amounts of nucleic acids. Since its introduction in the late 1980s, this technique has been applied not only in molecular biology research but also in fields as diverse as anthropology, phylogeny, and forensics. However, despite the large impact of PCR, many of its applications remain within the confines of research and the academic environment. Now, in A Low-Cost Approach to PCR: Appropriate Transfer of Biomolecular Techniques, Dr....

Sex and the Origins of Death
ISBN: 9780195121193 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Death, for bacteria, is not inevitable. Protect a bacterium from predators, and provide it with adequate food and space to grow, and it would continue living--and reproducing asexually--forever. But a paramecium (a slightly more advanced single-cell organism), under the same ideal conditions, would stop dividing after about 200 generations--and die. Death, for paramecia and their offspring, is inevitable. Unless they have sex. If at any point during that 200 or so generations, two of the progeny of our paramecium have sex, their clock will be reset to zero. They and their progeny are granted...

Adaptive Genetic Variation in the Wild
ISBN: 9780195121834 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Two of the great mysteries of biology yet to be explored concern the distribution and abundance of genetic variation in natural populations and the genetic architecture of complex traits. These are tied together by their relationship to natural selection and evolutionary history, and some of the keys to disclosing these secrets lie in the study of wild organisms in their natural environments.
This book, featuring a superb selection of papers from leading authors, summarizes the state of current understanding about the extent of genetic variation within wild populations and the ways to...

Footprints in the Jungle: Natural Resource Industries, Infrastructure, and Biodiversity Conservation
ISBN: 9780195125788 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Tropical forests have seen a tremendous growth in logging, mining, and oil and gas development over the past decades. These industries and their infrastructure, including roads and power lines, have a tremendous impact on the environment and often conflict with the growing concern for conservation, particularly the conservation of tropical biodiversity. However, development in the tropics is extremely important economically, both for developing and industrialized nations, and Footprints in the Jungle is an invaluable reference in this important and highly politicized debate. This...
