Annotation Contains 42 seminal papers illustrating advances in cell biology, along with brief commentaries that place the papers in historical and intellectual context. All papers are studies of eukaryotes, and are grouped according to themes of genome organization and replication, transcription, nuclear envelope and nuclear import, mitosis and cell cycle control, cell membrane and extracellular matrix, protein synthesis and membrane traffic, and cytoskeleton. Lacks a subject index. Gall teaches embryology at the Carnegie Institution. McIntosh teaches cell biology at the University of Colorado. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
Franz Joseph Gall, a dedicated physician and scientist, is unfortunately most remembered for his controversial doctrine that would become known as phrenology. Although often portrayed as a discredited buffoon who believed he could assess a person's strengths and weaknesses by measuring cranial bumps, Gall strove to answer pressing questions about the mind, brain, and behavior. His career began in Vienna during the 1790s and ended with his death in Paris in 1828. This work presents a fresh look at Gall, both his life and seminal ideas, some of which--for example, cortical localization of function--would become tenets of modern behavioral neuroscience.

Frogs from the genus Xenopus have long been used as model organisms in basic and biomedical research. These frogs have helped unlock key fundamental developmental and cellular processes that have led to important scientific breakthroughs and have had practical application in embryology, cancer research and regenerative medicine. Xenopus Development is a vital resource on the biology and development of these key model organisms, and will be a great tool to researchers using these frogs in various disciplines of biological science. Xenopus Development is divided into four sections, the first three highlight key processes in Xenopus development from embryo to metamophosis. These sections focus ...
