Evolution
Evolution is the single unifying principle of biology and core to everything in the life sciences. More than a century of work by scientists from across the biological spectrum has produced a detailed history of life across the phyla and explained the mechanisms by which new species form. This textbook covers both this history and the mechanisms of speciation; it also aims to provide students with the background needed to read the research literature on evolution. Students will therefore learn about cladistics, molecular phylogenies, the molecular-genetical basis of evolutionary change including the important role of protein networks, symbionts and holobionts, together with the core principl...
Operations Research Models and Methods
In a rapidly developing field like Operations Research, its easy to get overwhelmed by the variety of topics and analytic techniques. Paul Jensen and Jonathan Bard help you master the expensive field by focusing on the fundamental models and methodologies underlying the practice of Operations Research. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, the author presents the quantitative tools and models most important to understanding modern operations research. You'll come to appreciate the power of OR techniques in solving real-world problems and applications in your own field. You'll learn how to translate complex situations into mathematical models, solve models and turn models into solutio...
The Anatomical Basis of Mouse Development
The Anatomical Basis of Mouse Development by Kaufman and Bard is an essential anatomical resource for developmental biologists needing to know about any aspect of mouse developmental anatomy, as well as for geneticists using the mouse embryo as a model. This book is a companion to Kaufman's The Atlas of Mouse Development and details the developmental anatomy of the early embryo, the transitional tissues, and all the major organ systems. It also includes extensive reference indexes detailing developmental stage criteria, when tissues first appear, and the constituent tissues of embryos at each of the 26 Theiler stages, as well as tissue and author indexes and a glossary. Key features: * Gives...
Poetry of Jonathan G. Murphy: The Bard of Northumberland County, Virginia
Over twenty years ago my mother, Bonnie Ashworth, passed along to me an old, worn ledger book. The book contained poetry written over one hundred and fifty years ago by her great-great-grandfather and passed down to her by her Grandmother, Caroline Billingham Bentz (Grandpa MurphyÕs granddaughter.) The family possessed several pictures of the author, but no one in the clan could remember precisely who this lyrical ancestor was. He was known to the family as simply ÒGrandpa Murphy.Ó The acquisition of this family heirloom marked the beginning of my long search for the identity of the mysterious Grandpa Murphy, and my family history in general; a search that would ultimately lead me to a small historical society basement on the Northern Neck of Virginia where many of my questions began to be answered.

Collaboration in Computer Science: Working Together
Computers are playing a larger role in our lives every day, which means the teams behind these devices are becoming more and more important. In this book, students receive an inside look at the collaboration that goes into developing the technology that powers our lives. Readers will learn about the different teams that tackle each step of a computer science project, from programmers and software engineers to testers and debuggers. STEM concepts from the Next Generation Science Standards are covered. Fact boxes and sidebars provide additional opportunities for students to learn about collaboration in computer science.
The Kidney
Organogenesis of the kidney has been intensely studied for over a century. In recent years advances in molecular techniques have not only made great inroads into exploring the genetic regulation of this complex process but also began to unravel the molecular basis of many forms of congenital kidney disease. This book is a comprehensive study on these findings and the only book available with such in depth coverage of the kidney. Hundreds of color figures depicting key events in all aspects of kidney development Full coverage of the genetic and cellular basis of kidney development Analysis of the genetic basis of the major congenital kidney diseases
Principles of Evolution: Systems, Species, and the History of Life
Principles of Evolution considers evolution in the context of systems biology, a contemporary approach for handling biological complexity. Evolution needs this systems perspective for three reasons. First, most activity in living organisms is driven by complex networks of proteins and this has direct implications, particularly for understanding evo-devo and for seeing how variation is initiated. Second, it provides the natural language for discussing phylogenetic trees. Third, evolutionary change involves events at levels ranging from the genome to the ecosystem and systems biology provides a context for integrating material of this complexity. Understanding evolution means, on the one hand,...
Oops! It's Penicillin!
One of the single greatest leaps forward in human healthcare happened because of an accident in a laboratory. This serendipitous event was the result of a summer vacation in Scotland and an unattended experiment. Dr. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, one of the first antibiotics, in 1928 when he noticed that mold had gotten into a petri dish and it had prevented bacteria from growing. This book explores Fleming's accidental discovery, the science behind antibiotics, and the dawn of the era of antibiotics.
