Evolution by Gene Duplication
It is said that "necessity is the mother of invention". To be sure, wheels and pulleys were invented out of necessity by the tenacious minds of upright citi zens. Looking at the history of mankind, however, one has to add that "Ieisure is the mother of cultural improvement". Man's creative genius flourished only when his mind, freed from the worry of daily toils, was permitted to entertain apparently useless thoughts. In the same manner, one might say with regard to evolution that "natural selection mere(y tnodifted, while redundanry created". Natural selection has been extremely effective in policing alleHe mutations which arise in already existing gene loci. Because of natural selection, o...

The Right Turn
When self-made Los Angeles billionaire Clint Jason dies in a tragic car accident, a long list of people profit handsomely from his death. Before Clint died, he believed someone was trying to kill him. From his grave, he wants the killer found and punished. Tric Lee, a rakish, rule-breaking private detective, has been hired to investigate Jason's death. The beneficiaries of Clint's wealth include his attorney, Lewis Boné; his grown children, Allison, Christina, and Westley; his wife, Veronica; and Steven Dalheim, director of Jason's pet charity Protect Animal Rights. They're shocked, however, when an unknown codicil is produced at the reading of the will. Tric methodically follows the evidence to prove Jason's death was no accident. His investigation uncovers a myriad of issues, including infidelity and family greed, and Tric finds himself infatuated with one of the lovely suspects-who soon turns up dead. An engaging whodunit, The Right Turn holds many surprising twists for Tric and his talented assistant, Cricket Jackson, who doggedly pursue every lead, no matter how small, to uncover a secret that one suspect doesn't want exposed.
Evolutionary Bioinformatics
Books on bioinformatics which began appearing in the mid 80s primarily served gene-hunters, and biologists who wished to construct family trees showing tidy lines of descent. Given the great pharmaceutical industry interest in genes, this trend has continued in most subsequent texts. These deal extensively with the exciting topic of gene discovery and searching databases, but hardly consider genomes as information channels through which multiple forms and levels of information, including genic information, have passed through the generations.
Gene Autry
"This biography takes the reader from Gene Autry's childhood in Oklahoma through his career as a singer and actor, and covers his later triumphs in business and sports. Of particular interest is the book's detailed day-to-day treatment of Autry's performing career, with information on each recording session and film shoot, including key personnel and interesting anecdotes"--Provided by publisher.

Gene Worship
"A wonderful antidote to the gene hysteria that is now so dominant! . . . What is most exciting about this book is the authors' ability to move seamlessly from research on how the brain works, to sociology, history, and philosophy. And that, I believe, is exactly how we need to understand gender--neither nature nor nurture, but a complex interplay." - Dr. Lynda Birke, author of Feminism and the Biological Body This work moves beyond the old nature/nurture debate concerning what makes us who we are to present a new understanding of gender and sexuality. Since the mapping of the human genome there has been widespread coverage of scientific discoveries in the offing, and of the host of human pr...
Form Criticism of the Old Testament
Because of its long oral tradition the Old Testament includes an array of different literary types and compositions. Analysis of these genres in the biblical material is known as form criticism. Gene Tucker draws on contemporary speech patterns to illustrate how the scholar pinpoints various categories or genres. The basic principles of form criticism are outlined and many biblical examples given. The story of Jacob's struggle at the Jabbok and the prophetic literature are treated in detail. While form criticism does not solve all the interpreter's problems, it forms an essential tool for exegesis and for recovering the living history of Old Testament literature.
