An Introduction to the History of Chronobiology, Volume 3
In three volumes, historian Jole Shackelford delineates the history of the study of biological rhythms—now widely known as chronobiology—from antiquity into the twentieth century. Perhaps the most well-known biological rhythm is the circadian rhythm, tied to the cycles of day and night and often referred to as the “body clock.” But there are many other biological rhythms, and although scientists and the natural philosophers who preceded them have long known about them, only in the past thirty years have a handful of pioneering scientists begun to study such rhythms in plants and animals seriously. Tracing the intellectual and institutional development of biological rhythm studies, Sh...
The Seven-day Rhythms of Life
Have you ever wondered why the entire earth operates on a seven-day cycle? Have you thought about how even some of the smallest animals seem to follow a weekly schedule? This is NOT a coincidence. Our amazing God, having created this world in seven days, has implanted in living things a very tiny yet powerful gland that transfers information within our bodies—or even between species—by biochemical, neurological, or photonic means. The pineal gland is the rhythm-maker of our bodies and is a testament to the Sabbath created by God in Eden. This seal of our Creator is non-changing and anchored in time. As you explore the various aspects of these biological rhythms in humans, animals, birds,...
Handbook of Genetics
The purpose of this and future volumes of the Handbook of Genetics is to bring together a collection of relatively short, authoritative essays or annotated compilations of data on topics of significance to geneticists. Many of the essays will deal with various aspects of the biology of certain species selected because they are favorite subjects for genetic investigation in nature or the laboratory. Often there will be an encyclopedic amount of information available on such a species, with new papers appearing daily. Most of these will be written for specialists in a jargon that is be wildering to a novice, and sometimes even to a veteran geneticist working with evolutionarily distant organis...
Handbook of Genetics
Many modern geneticists attempt to elucidate the molecular basis of phenotype by utilizing a battery of techniques derived from physical chemistry on subcellular components isolated from various species of organisms. Volume 5 of the Handbook of Genetics provides explanations of the advantages and shortcomings of some of these revolutionary tech niques, and the nonspecialist is alerted to key research papers, reviews, and reference works. Much of the text deals with the structure and func tioning of the molecules bearing genetic information which reside in the nucleus and with the processing of this information by the ribosomes resid ing in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. The mitochondria,...

Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis in Plants
During the summer of 1974 we discussed the state of molecular biology and biochemical developmental biology in plants on a few occasions in Paris and in Strasbourg. The number of laboratories engaged in such research is minute compared with those studying comparable problems in animal and bacterial systems, but by then much interesting work had been done and a great momentum was building. It seemed to us that the summer of 1976 would be a good time to review these areas of plant biology for students as well as advanced workers. We outlined a program for a course to colleagues both in Europe and the United States and asked a few potential lecturers if they would be interested. The response wa...
Workshop on Mechanisms and Prospects of Genetic Exchange, Berlin, December 11 to 13, 1971
Advances in the Biosciences 8 is a collection of papers presented in a workshop on "Mechanisms and Prospects of Genetic Exchange, sponsored by Schering Pharma AG, held in Berlin, Germany in 1972. The book presents various research works from various scientific disciplines in line with the workshop's theme. The workshop is organized into 3 sessions. Session I: Genetic Exchange at the Molecular Level discusses such topics as enzymology of genetic recombination; studies on transcription and ligation of RNA; and expression and integration of viral DNA in animal cells. Session II: Genetic Exchange at the Cellular and Organelle Level covers topics on germinal cell membranes; application of cell fu...
Dasycladales
This is the first monograph atlas on Dasycladales to extensively describe the unique morphologic features of both fossil and living species, following the phylogeny of these single cell organisms through their more than 500 million years of existence. Due to the increasingly detailed knowledge on the evolution of morphologic characteristics, it is now possible to determine the time of development of the living genera, and their distribution is specified in accompanying maps. For the first time, the systematic classification of the living Dasycladales makes use of their availability in laboratory cultures. Crosses were performed between questionable species and morphologic characteristics obs...
