The Ovary of Eve: Egg and Sperm and Preformation
ISBN: 9780226669540 / Angielski / Miękka / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The Ovary of Eve" is a rich and often hilarious account of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century efforts to understand conception. In these early years of the Scientific Revolution, the most intelligent men and women of the day struggled to come to terms with the origins of new life, and one theory preformation sparked an intensely heated debate that continued for over a hundred years. Clara Pinto-Correia traces the history of this much maligned theory through the cultural capitals of Europe.

Brain Storm: The Flaws in the Science of Sex Differences
ISBN: 9780674063518 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Female and male brains are different, thanks to hormones coursing through the brain before birth. That's taught as fact in psychology textbooks, academic journals, and bestselling books. And these hardwired differences explain everything from sexual orientation to gender identity, to why there aren't more women physicists or more stay-at-home dads. In this compelling book, Rebecca Jordan-Young takes on the evidence that sex differences are hardwired into the brain. Analyzing virtually all published research that supports the claims of "human brain organization theory,"...

Lives of the Brain: Human Evolution and the Organ of Mind
ISBN: 9780674064058 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Though we have other distinguishing characteristics (walking on two legs, for instance, and relative hairlessness), the brain and the behavior it produces are what truly set us apart from the other apes and primates. And how this three-pound organ composed of water, fat, and protein turned a mammal species into the dominant animal on earth today is the story John S. Allen seeks to tell. Adopting what he calls a "bottom-up" approach to the evolution of human behavior, Allen considers the brain as a biological organ; a collection of genes, cells, and tissues that grows, eats, and ages,...

Ingenious: The Unintended Consequences of Human Innovation
ISBN: 9780674976887 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The trouble with innovation is that it can seldom be undone. We invent technologies to modify our environments in immediately beneficial ways, but the long-term consequences can be costly. From obesity to antibiotic resistance, we pay for our successes. Peter Gluckman and Mark Hanson explore what happens when our creations lead nature to bite back.

FGF Signalling in Vertebrate Development
ISBN: 9781615040636 / Angielski / Miękka / 75 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This review will explore examples from several vertebrate model organisms and include discussions of the role of fibroblast growth factors (FGF) signaling in regulating the establishment of the mesoderm, neural patterning, morphogenesis, myogenesis, limb development and the establishment of right-left asymmetry. The FGF represent one of the relatively few families of extracellular signaling peptides that have been shown in recent decades to be key regulators of metazoan development. FGFs are required for multiple processes in both protostome and deuterostome groups. Given the wide range of...

Regulation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Function
ISBN: 9781615041800 / Angielski / Miękka / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In book the role of Ca2+ and other signaling pathways of Vascular smooth muscle (VSM) contraction will be discussed. VSM contraction plays an important role in the regulation of vascular resistance and blood pressure, and its dysregulation may lead to vascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary artery disease. Under physiological conditions, agonist activation of VSM results in an initial phasic contraction followed by a tonic contraction. The initial agonist-induced contraction is generally believed to be due to Ca2+ release from the intracellular stores. Although VSM is unique in...

Beyond Biology: Metaphysical Brain Science
ISBN: 9781432754013 / Angielski / Miękka / 670 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Technological advances have given us increased life expectancy, conquest of disease and hunger, provided us the wherewithal to explore other worlds, and our inner selves. Yet, we owe a certain pessimism to the materialism of the mind. Beyond Biology transposes brain science from mere description of diseases and lesions, into a realm of limitless possibility. The brain, mediator for all behavior, is the springboard of all human capacity, taking us far beyond our physical and biological limitations. Do computers and other tools extend mental and physical capacities? For science, music,...

Essays in Animal Behaviour : Celebrating 50 Years of Animal Behaviour
ISBN: 9780123694997 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recently, the 50th anniversary of the publication of Animal Behaviour has passed. To mark the occasion, a group of prominent behaviourists have written essays relevant to their fields. These essays provide a glimpse of the study of behaviour looking in all directions. History and future aside, it is imperative to broadcast this information from the perspective of the behaviourists who have helped shape both the past and the future. It is important for any field to be both retrospective and prospective: where have we been, where are we going, where are we now? These essays provide a...

The Social Amoebae: The Biology of Cellular Slime Molds
ISBN: 9780691139395 / Angielski / Twarda / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Noted biologist and author John Tyler Bonner has experimented with cellular slime molds for more than sixty years, and he has done more than anyone else to raise these peculiar collections of amoebae from a minor biological curiosity to a major model organism--one that is widely studied for clues to the development and evolution of all living things. Now, five decades after he published his first pioneering book on cellular slime molds, Bonner steps back from the proliferating and increasingly specialized knowledge about the organism to provide a broad, nontechnical picture of its whole...

Genes and the Agents of Life: The Individual in the Fragile Sciences Biology
ISBN: 9780521544955 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What are the agents of life? Central to our conception of the biological world is the idea that it contains various kinds of individuals, including genes, organisms, and species. How we conceive of these agents of life is central to our understanding of the relationship between life and mind, the place of hierarchical thinking in the biological sciences, and pluralistic views of biological agency. Genes and the Agents of Life rethinks the place of the individual in the biological sciences, drawing parallels with the cognitive and social sciences. Genes, organisms, and species are all agents...
