Rejecting the antiquated and stultifying models encountered in textbooks and in courses on methodology and championed by the self-appointed gatekeepers of a narrow and parochial political science, Norton opens the gates to new practices, new principles, new questions, more...

Cellular and Molecular Methods in Neuroscience Research
ISBN: 9780387953861 / Angielski / Twarda / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Analysis of the neural tissue presents unique and peculiar technical problems encountered in everyday bench work. Numerous books dealing with cellular and molecular protocols for general use in cell biology are available, but few are specifically devoted exclusively to neurobiology. Moreover, the "cross-talk" between researchers with different backgrounds, i.e. histologists, cell and molecular biologists and physiologists, is still quite difficult, and very often one remains somehow "confined" to his or her own specific field of expertise never daring to explore "mysterious" lands unless...

Quantitative Methods for Conservation Biology
ISBN: 9780387954868 / Angielski / Miękka / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Quantitative methods are needed in conservation biology more than ever as an increasing number of threatened species find their way onto international and national red lists. Objective evaluation of population decline and extinction probability are required for sound decision making. Yet, as our colleague Selina Heppell points out, population viability analysis and other forms of formal risk assessment are underused in policy formation because of data uncertainty and a lack of standardized methodologies and unambiguous criteria (i. e., rules of thumb ). Models used in conservation biology...

ISBN: 9780415158800 / Angielski / Miękka / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Do mothers determine the sex of the infant? Research shows that women who score highly on personality questionnaires designed to measure dominance are more likely than less dominant women to conceive sons.
