These essays -- the outgrowth of a symposium sponsored by the University of Kentucky to honor one of its most distinguished graduates, Nobel Prize laureate Thomas Hunt Morgan -- provide a representative view of research interests in specific areas of molecular biology. The fifteen contributors to this volume are among the most distinguished scientists in America.

Diese Studienhilfe dient Ihrer Selbstkontrolle und damit der Vorbereitung auf Prufungen. Sie bietet Ihnen die Moglichkeit, sich mit den vielfaltigen Fragen in Ruhe zu Hause auseinanderzusetzen und Ihr Wissen eigenstandig zu uberprufen; oder Sie nutzen die Fragen als Anregungen, wenn Sie sich in Lerngruppen gegenseitig abfragen. Zusatzlich zu den rein zoologischen und botanischen Fragen sind ausserdem einige aus den verwandten Bereichen Okologie und Evolution enthalten, um den Prufungsstoff umfassender abzudecken. Die 1000 Fragen sollen Ihnen helfen, sich in diesen vier Themengebieten zu...

Our teeth are like living fossils that can be studied and compared to those of our ancestors to teach us how we became human. In Evolution's Bite, noted paleoanthropologist Peter Ungar brings together for the first time cutting-edge advances in understanding human evolution and climate change with new approaches to uncovering dietary clues from fossil teeth to present a remarkable investigation into the ways that teeth--their...

A Camelot of the Biomedical Sciences

The history of science began with wonder. Its foundation was endless curiosity about the world and people brave enough to ask, what if? How? And why? It began in rudimentary laboratories set up by wealthy men in basements and emptied rooms. The British Royal Academy gave it a formal experimental structure. And for almost two centuries it was the exclusive domain of those wealthy and educated people able to find the time and resources to conduct their experiments. To satisfy their own...
