The Book of Man: The Human Genome Project and the Quest to Discover Our Genetic Heritage
ISBN: 9780195114874 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...

The Natural History of Weasels and Stoats : Ecology, Behavior, and Management
ISBN: 9780195322712 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Field naturalists have observed the activities of weasels for centuries. Their descriptions were often accurate but sometimes misinterpreted the animals' behaviors and underlying explanations for those behaviors. "Organized natural history" became one of the roots of the science of ecology in the 1920s and by the 1960s scientists had begun to study the biology of weasels with all the critical, objective advantages of modern theory and equipment. Until the first edition of this book appeared in 1989 no one had attempted to explain these results to non-specialist naturalists. Now thoroughly...

Classification and Human Evolution
ISBN: 9780202309354 / Angielski / Miękka / 371 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. The names given to the variety of man-like fossils known to scientists should refl ectno more than scientifi c views of the nature of human evolution. However, often in the past these names have also refl ected confusion regarding the basic principles of scientifi c nomenclature; and the matter has been further complicated by the many new fi nds of recent decades. It is the unique purpose of this book to clarify the present state of knowledge regarding the main lines of human evolution by expressing what is known (and what is surmised) about them in appropriate taxonomic language.

The Rat : A Study in Behavior
ISBN: 9780202309774 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. The laws of animal behavior have been revised and revealed through research performed by zoologists, physiologists and experimental psychologists. Each has contributed much. Their main meeting ground has been the study of mammals, especially rats. This classic book is unique in bringing together the principal conclusions of these researchers in a compact, well illustrated, and lucid form. The author himself made important original contributions to wild rat behavior; his account of "white rat psychology" and of relevant work on other species is equally authoritative. Experience as a...

Mammalian Dispersal Patterns: The Effects of Social Structure on Population Genetics
ISBN: 9780226102689 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-12 dni roboczych. Mammalian Dispersal Patterns examines the ways that social structure affects population genetics and, in turn, rates of evolution, in mammalian groups. It brings together fieldwork in animal behavior and wildlife biology with theoretical work in demography and population genetics. The focus here is dispersal whether, how, and when individuals leave the areas where they are born.
Theoretical work in population genetics indicates that such social factors as skewed sex ratios, restrictive mating patterns, and delayed age of first reproduction will lower the reproductive variability of a...

Electromyography for Experimentalists
ISBN: 9780226490151 / Angielski / Miękka / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-12 dni roboczych. The technique of electromyography, used to study the electrical currents generated by muscle action, has become invaluable to researchers in the biological, medical, and behavioral sciences. With it, the scientist can study the role of muscles in producing and controlling limb movement, eating, breathing, posture, vocalizations, and the manipulation of objects. However, many electromyographic techniques were developed in the clinical study of humans and are inappropriate for use in research on other organisms tadpoles, for example. This book, a complete and very practical hands-on guide to...
