In the course of the evolutionary journey of our species, there have been three seminal events. The first happened some seven million yeas ago, when our humanoid ancestors entered on the evolutionary scene. Their journey toward the second crucial event lasted over six million years when - as the greatest event of our evolutionary history - homo sapiens sapiens, started the revolutionary process of cultural evolution. Today, we have arrived at the... Based on a comprehensive review of human and societal evolution the book develops an approach to conscious, self-guided evolution.

Gene Avatars: The Neo-Darwinian Theory of Evolution
ISBN: 9780306466168 / Angielski / Twarda / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why life?' Questions of this type were for a long time the prerogative of philosophers who left the how' question to scientists. Nowadays, Darwin's successors no longer have any qualms about addressing the why' as well as the how'. Over a century ago, Darwin modestly admitted having 'thrown some light on the origin of species - this mystery of mysteries'. Two major advances in the following decades helped biologists answer many of the questions he left unsolved. The first was the discovery of the laws of heredity, the second that of DNA. Both provided Darwinian theory with the foundations... Why life?' Questions of this type were for a long time the prerogative of philosophers who left the how' question to scientists.

Hormonal Carcinogenesis IV
ISBN: 9780387237831 / Angielski / Twarda / 546 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has been over a decade since the First International Symposium on Hormonal Carcinogenesis convened in 199 1. Since then, the field has rapidly expanded with considerable progress in both breast and prostate cancers; while ovarian and endometrial cancer have been hampered, in part, due to the absence of suitable hormone-mediated animal models. While knock-out, transgenic, and cell-culture systems have been extremely useful in identifying specific genelprotein alterations and the ensuing pathways affected, the precise molecular mechanisms whereby sex hormones elicit their oncogenic effects...

In Silico Immunology
ISBN: 9780387392387 / Angielski / Twarda / 451 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whatever its final readership and impact, we, the Editors, feel this book is im- portant. It addresses the realisation that there is a deep and abiding synergy, albeit one only now being properly explored and exploited, between immunol- ogy and computational science. This area of intersection we christen in silico immunology. Immunology is an inspiration for computational scientists seek- ing practical and philosophical metaphors for their work; but, at the same time, it is itself a biological discipline of such discombobulating complexity that only computational help as different as...

Molecular Aspects of the Stress Response: Chaperones, Membranes and Networks
ISBN: 9780387399744 / Angielski / Twarda / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We are extremely happy to present the reader this book containing a summary of a well-known research field, the phenomenon of cellular stress defense from two new angles: networks and membranes. The volume starts with an introduction to the concept of molecular chaperones in their original sense: R. John Ellis, the founder of the chaperone concept describes chaperones as mediators of correct assembly and/or misassembly of other macromolecular complexes. This sets the tone of the book, where later chapters give detailed examples of the richness of chaperone ac- tion by hundreds of other...

Nowhere on Earth is the challenge for ecological understanding greater, and yet more urgent, than in those parts of the globe where human activity is most intense - cities. People need to understand how cities work as ecological systems so they can take control of the vital links between human actions and environmental quality, and work for an ecologically and economically sustainable future. An ecosystem approach integrates biological, physical and social factors and embraces historical and geographical dimensions, providing our best hope for coping with the complexity of cities.

The Biostatistics Cookbook: The Most User-Friendly Guide for the Bio/Medical Scientist
ISBN: 9780792338840 / Angielski / Twarda / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We live in a very uncertain world. Variation surrounds our work. There is noise in our experiments, in our measurements, and in our test subjects. From all these sources of uncertainty and variation, we try to extract a coherent picture of very complex and sometimes dynamic, biological and chemical processes. In fact, one of our major challenges is to separate this signal, the 'real' biology or chemistry, from the noise. The tools developed to do this are called, collectively, biostatistics. Any tool, even a hammer, can be misused. This could result, at best, in inefficiency, and, at worst,...
