"Even the most experienced instructor can find teaching cell biology daunting, and most cell biology texts are bogged down in detail or background information. Lost in all the details are the more fascinating material and contemporary advances that represent this rapidly moving field. With so much to cover, creating a classroom around active learning may be difficult or nearly impossible. The Cell: A Molecular Approach, Ninth Edition, endeavors to address those issues with succinct writing, incorporation of current research, a test bank that encourages critical thinking, and an active learning framework. With just enough detail for a one-semester, sophomore/junior level course, the text pres...
Every day it seems the media focus on yet another new development in biology--gene therapy, the human genome project, the creation of new varieties of animals and plants through genetic engineering. These possibilities have all emanated from molecular biology. A History of Molecular Biology is a complete but compact account for a general readership of the history of this revolution. Michel Morange, himself a molecular biologist, takes us from the turn-of-the-century convergence of molecular biology's two progenitors, genetics and biochemistry, to the perfection of gene splicing and cloning techniques in the 1980s. Drawing on the important work of American, English, and French historians of s...
Dans un texte limpide, enrichi d'une iconographie généreuse, l'ouvrage présente les processus fondamentaux de la vie à l'échelle moléculaire. Les chapitres s'enchaînent logiquement et exposent de façon équilibrée, graduellement par souci pédagogique, les principaux concepts classiques de la biologie moderne. Des intitulés "Expérience clé" et "Médecine moléculaire" résumant des expériences-phares soulignent l'essence expérimentale de cette science. Un glossaire reprend les termes introduits un à un dans le texte et un questionnaire, résolu à la fin du traité, accompagne chacun des chapitres.
Discourse can no longer be contained within the frameworks of literature and linguistics. It has broken through the barriers between subjects and dominates the way we relate to each other and to the world. Even where we least expect it, `storytelling' is going on, and the implications of this are vast. This is the view universally shared by the writers contributing to this book. Specialists in economics, law, the history and semiotics of science, psychology, politics, philosophy, and literary theory and criticism, they are a uniquely cross-disciplinary group.
