Discrete Dynamical Modeling
ISBN: 9780195084382 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book presents an introduction to the wide range of techniques and applications for dynamic mathematical modeling that are useful in studying systemic change over time. The author expertly explains how the key to studying change is to determine a relationship between occurring events and events that transpire in the near future. Mathematical modeling of such cause-and-effect relationships can often lead to accurate predictions of events that occur farther in the future. Sandefur's approach uses many examples from algebra--such as factoring, exponentials and logarithms--and includes many...

Fractals in Molecular Biophysics
ISBN: 9780195084474 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Historically, science has sought to reduce complex problems to their simplest components, but more recently it has recognized the merit of studying complex phenomena in situ. Fractal geometry is one such appealing approach, and this book discusses its application to complex problems in molecular biophysics. The book provides a detailed, unified treatment of fractal aspects of protein and structure dynamics, fractal reaction kinetics in biochemical systems, sequence correlations in DNA and proteins, and descriptors of chaos in enzymatic systems. In an area that has been slow to acknowledge the...

ISBN: 9780195086225 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Despite the depiction of nature "red in tooth and claw," cooperation is actually widespread in the animal kingdom. Various types of cooperative behaviors have been documented in everything from insects to primates, and in every imaginable ecological scenario. Yet why animals cooperate is still a hotly contested question in literature on evolution and animal behavior.
This book examines the history surrounding the study of cooperation, and proceeds to examine the conceptual, theoretical and empirical work on this fascinating subject. Early on, it outlines the four different categories of... Despite the depiction of nature "red in tooth and claw," cooperation is actually widespread in the animal kingdom.

Evolution by Association: A History of Symbiosis
ISBN: 9780195088212 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this comprehensive history of symbiosis theory--the first to be written--Jan Sapp masterfully traces its development from modest beginnings in the late nineteenth century to its current status as one of the key conceptual frameworks for the life sciences. The symbiotic perspective on evolution, which argues that "higher species" have evolved from a merger of two or more different kinds of organisms living together, is now clearly established with definitive molecular evidence demonstrating that mitochondria and chloroplasts have evolved from symbiotic bacteria. In telling the exciting...

Genes for Sale: Privatization as a Conservation Policy
ISBN: 9780195089103 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With each species lost to the mass extinction crisis, the natural economy of the nation and of the world is greatly diminished. An endangered animal may hold the cure for cancer; a threatened plant could someday become a major food crop; and even bacteria often provide novel molecular structures in polymer science. As the rainforest is destroyed and habitats are degraded, conservationists are now urgently searching for dramatic new ways to save these economic resources. In this provocative and important book, Joseph Henry Vogel details one potential solution that has met with increasing...

Ecologies of the Heart: Emotion, Belief, and the Environment
ISBN: 9780195090109 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There is much we can learn about conservation from native peoples, says Gene Anderson. While the advanced nations of the West have failed to control overfishing, deforestation, soil erosion, pollution, and a host of other environmental problems, many traditional peoples manage their natural resources quite successfully. And if some traditional peoples mismanage the environment--the irrational value some place on rhino horn, for instance, has left this species endangered--the fact remains that most have found ways to introduce sound ecological management into their daily lives. Why have they...

The Causes of Molecular Evolution
ISBN: 9780195092714 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work provides a unified theory that addresses the important problem of the origin and maintenance of genetic variation in natural populations. With modern molecular techniques, variation is found in all species, sometimes at astonishingly high levels. Yet, despite these observations, the forces that maintain variation within and between species have been difficult subjects of study. Because they act very weakly and operate over vast time scales, scientists must rely on indirect inferences and speculative mathematical models. However, despite these obstacles, many advances have been made....

Toward Unity Among Environmentalists
ISBN: 9780195093971 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Today, six out of ten Americans describe themselves as "active" environmentalists or as "sympathetic" to the movement's concerns. The movement, in turn, reflects this millions-strong support in its diversity, encompassing a wide spectrum of causes, groups, and sometimes conflicting special interests. For far-sighted activists and policy makers, the question is how this diversity affects the ability to achieve key goals in the battle against pollution, erosion, and out-of-control growth. This insightful book offers an overview of the movement -- its past as well as its present -- and issues...

The Role of the Sun in Climate Change
ISBN: 9780195094145 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The luminosity of the sun governs the temperatures of the planets. Yet the solar forcing, or driving, of climate, primarily due to changes in solar radiation, has never been well documented. Recent satellite measurements have shown that solar radiation varies as a function of time and wavelength, a concept that has been hypothesized for the past two centuries and has recently become a major topic with all the attention paid to global warming. This book reviews the physics of the concept of solar forcing, from its beginnings in the early 1800's and apparent success in the 1870's, to its near...
