The Green Phoenix: A History of Genetically Modified Plants
ISBN: 9780231122634 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Providing the first account of the story behind genetically engineered plants, Paul F. Lurquin covers the controversial birth of the field, its sudden death, phoenixlike reemergence, and ultimate triumph as not only a legitimate field of science but a new tool of multinational corporate interests. In addition, Lurquin looks ahead to the potential impact this revolutionary technology will have on human welfare. As Lurquin shows, it was the intense competition between international labs that resulted in the creation of the first transgenic plants. Two very different approaches to plant...

Evolution and Religious Creation Myths: How Scientists Respond
ISBN: 9780195315387 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Polls show that 45% of the American public believes that humans were created about 10,000 years ago and that evolution is a fictitious myth. Another 25% believes that changes in the natural world are directed by a supernatural being with a particular goal in mind. This thinking clashes head on with scientific findings from the past 150 years, and there is a dearth of public critical thinking about the natural world within a scientific framework. Evolution and Religious Creation Myths seeks to educate and arm the public on the differences between myth and science, fiction and...

The Origins of Life and the Universe
ISBN: 9780231126540 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The Origins of Life and the Universe is the culmination of a university science professor's search for understanding and is based on his experiences teaching the fundamental issues of physics, chemistry, and biology in the classroom. What is life? Where did it come from? How can understanding the origins of life on Earth help us understand the origins of the universe, and vice versa? These are questions that have occupied us all. This is a book, then, about the beginning of things--of the universe, matter, stars, and planetary systems, and finally, of life itself--topics of profound...

High Tech Harvest: Understanding Genetically Modified Food Plants
ISBN: 9780813341750 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A research biologist tells the clear-eyed story of modern plant genetics, the human manipulation of biotechnology, and the reality of genetically engineered plants worldwide. Genetically engineered plant products line the shelves of our grocery stores, but we don't know which ones they are because no label identifies them. Should we be concerned? It is true that biotech companies are saying that engineered corn and canola are safe, but are they telling the truth? In High Tech Harvest, Paul Lurquin answers these questions and more, believing that the public has a right to know and understand...

Genetic Engineering in Eukaryotes
ISBN: 9781468444957 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book includes the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute held at Washington State University, Pullman, Washington from July 26 until August 6, 1982. Although genetic engineering in eukaryotes is best developed in yeast and mammalian cells, the reader will find that some emphasis has been put on plant systems. Indeed, it was our position that the development of plant cell genetic transformation would benefit from the interactions between a comparatively smaller number of fungal and animal cell experts and a larger number of plant cell specialists representing various aspects of...
