The Evidence for Evolution
ISBN: 9780226723808 / Angielski / Twarda / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to polling data, most Americans doubt that evolution is a real phenomenon. And it's no wonder that so many are skeptical: many of today's biology courses and textbooks dwell on the mechanisms of evolution-natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow-but say little about the evidence that evolution happens at all. How do we know that species change? Has there really been enough time for evolution to operate? With The Evidence for Evolution, Alan R. Rogers provides an elegant, straightforward text that details the evidence for evolution. Rogers covers different...

Rapid Methods for Analysis of Biological Materials in the Environment
ISBN: 9789048154555 / Angielski / Miękka / 333 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contrary to common belief, infectious diseases are not as well under control as we would like. We are now at a crossroads regarding the impact of the environment on infectious diseases. Renewed interest in biological weapons and the emergence of new pathogens, coupled with a better understanding of the impact of infectious agents on other conventional diseases, has led us to realise that we can no longer remain complacent about the impact of infectious agents on human, animal and crop health.
The present book first discusses current and emerging military and civilian policies on the... Contrary to common belief, infectious diseases are not as well under control as we would like. We are now at a crossroads regarding the impact of the ...

Die Orthopteren Europas / The Orthoptera of Europe: Volume I
ISBN: 9789048185122 / Angielski / Miękka / 749 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Seit C. BRUNNER von WATTENWYL 1882 seinen Prodromus der europaischen Orthopteren veroffentlichte, ist keine zusammenfassende Arbeit mehr auf diesem Gebiet erschienen. Viele Anderungen haben sich seither in Syste- matik und Nomenklatur ergeben, zahlreiche neue Arten wurden beschrie- ben, andere eingezogen. Viele dieser Anderungen ergaben sich aus klei- neren Arbeiten, die zerstreut in den verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften Europas in den vergangenen 86 Jahren erschienen, was ein umfassendes Arbeiten mit den Orthopteren Europas ungemein erschwerte.

Agromyzidae (Diptera) of Economic Importance
ISBN: 9789048185139 / Angielski / Miękka / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The original stimulus which started KENNETH SPENCER on a study of the Agro- myzid flies was an invitation, which he accepted, to translate from the German the monograph on Leaf Miners by Professor E. M. HERING. From this developed nearly 20 years of collaboration until Professor HERING's death in 1967. Dr. SPENCER has himself described over 600 new species in the family, many of which he collected and reared from known host plants during his extensive travels to all the five main continents. Largely as a result of his work, the number of species known in Britain has increased from 90 in 1945...

The Ecology of Bruchids Attacking Legumes (Pulses): Proceedings of the International Symposium Held at Tours (France), April 16-19, 1980
ISBN: 9789048185252 / Angielski / Miękka / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As editor of this volume I am not going to emphasize the economic im- portance of the Bruchids of pulses, nor how necessary it is to know the conditions of infestation of crops in order to achieve an efficient protection; both points are testified by F.A.O.'s sponsorship, as well as of the International Organization for Biological Control. On the other hand I would like to stress the scientific interest of the study of 'domestic' bruchids. It raises questions which require that present basic entomological knowledge be extended. I am not going to review all questions raised but I will...

Science, God and the Nature of Reality: Bias in Biomedical Research
ISBN: 9781599425450 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This philosophy of science book is written by a biomedical scientist for a lay audience but is well-referenced for use by scientific readers and college course curricula. Its thesis is that the current paradigm in the biological and medical sciences, which is responsible for rejecting the existence of a Divine Being, is outdated. There is no factual basis for creating a dichotomy between evolution and Divine Design. Misconceptions about the nature of reality, i.e., the belief that matter is the ultimate cause of everything we think, feel, say, and do, have made it easy to ignore data...

Mechanisms of Life History Evolution: The Genetics and Physiology of Life History Traits and Trade-Offs
ISBN: 9780199568765 / Angielski / Twarda / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Life history theory seeks to explain the evolution of the major features of life cycles by analyzing the ecological factors that shape age-specific schedules of growth, reproduction, and survival and by investigating the trade-offs that constrain the evolution of these traits. Although life history theory has made enormous progress in explaining the diversity of life history strategies among species, it traditionally ignores the underlying proximate mechanisms. Mechanisms of Life History Evolution argues that many fundamental problems in life history evolution, including the nature of...

Evolution of Faith, Roots of the Origins Debate
ISBN: 9781936343522 / Angielski / Miękka / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The discussion of Darwinian of Evolution vs. Fiat Creation and the variants of each scenario has come to life periodically since the publication of Darwin's books in 1859 and 1871. The conversations have frequently produced more heat than light, especially when the teaching of these two theories has become entangled in the legal system. In fact, there has been very little open public discussion of the relevant verifiable evidence that might support the contradictory claims of each camp. Instead, the advocates of each viewpoint resemble the fans of professional sports teams, who root with...

Epigenetics: Linking Genotype and Phenotype in Development and Evolution
ISBN: 9780520267091 / Angielski / Twarda / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Illuminating the processes and patterns that link genotype to phenotype, epigenetics seeks to explain features, characters, and developmental mechanisms that can only be understood in terms of interactions that arise above the level of the gene. With chapters written by leading authorities, this volume offers a broad integrative survey of epigenetics. Approaching this complex subject from a variety of perspectives, it presents a broad, historically grounded view that demonstrates the utility of this approach for understanding complex biological systems in development, disease, and evolution....

The Evolution of Agency and Other Essays
ISBN: 9780521645379 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents a collection of linked essays written by one of the leading philosophers of biology, Kim Sterelny, on the topic of biological evolution. The first half of the book explores most of the main theoretical controversies about evolution and selection, while the second half applies some of these ideas in considering cognitive evolution. These essays, some never before published, form a coherent whole that defends not just an overall conception of evolution, but also a distinctive take on cognitive evolution.

Gender and Sexual Dimorphism in Flowering Plants
ISBN: 9783642084249 / Angielski / Miękka / 305 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While the majority of flowering plant species are hermaphroditic, gender di- morphism, or the occurrence of two sexual morphs, has, nevertheless, evolved on repeated occasions. Gender dimorphism is found in nearly half of all angio- sperm families and in approximately 10% of flowering plant species. Where plants are dimorphic in gender, they can also be dimorphic in secondary sex characters. We refer to dimorphism of the latter kind as sexual dimorphism, in keeping with the term's usage by most zoologists. This book is about the evolution of both forms of dimorphism -hence the book's lengthy...

Interdisciplinary Anthropology: Continuing Evolution of Man
ISBN: 9783642116674 / Angielski / Twarda / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume is the result of a research project entitled Evolutionary Continuity Human Specifics The Possibility of Objective Knowledge that was carried out by representatives of six academic disciplines (evolutionary biology, evolutionary anthropology, brain research, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology and philosophy) over a period of three and a half years. The starting point for the project was the newly emerging riddle of human uniqueness: though the uniqueness of human beings is undisputable, all explanations for this fact have successively been discarded or refuted in recent...

The Biology of Gobies
ISBN: 9781578084364 / Angielski / Twarda / 702 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Among all vertebrates, gobies are second in diversity only to the teleost family Cyprinidae. The Gobiidae consists of more than 200 genera and nearly 2,000 species and make up the largest family of marine fishes. Gobies account for as much as 50% of the energy flow in coral reef communities. Their small size, ability to adapt to numerous ecological niches and to be bred in aquaria has led to numerous studies both in the field and laboratory. Gobies are found from above the high tide line to depths of over 1,100 m. Some species are found only within caves, others deep inside sponges, and some...

Of Evolution," the author, a Chemical Engineer, ex-atheist and now a Christian Pastor, presents the results of serious scientific researches on the subject of the origin of the universe and life. He demonstrate that the "Millions of Years" and the complexity of the subject of evolution is only a subtle and dangerous maneuver to divert the human attention of the true crucial point over the existence of the universe. He also reveals that in school, our children receive an INDOCTRINATION that makes them become atheists. As he says: "Could it have been a Wise,...
