The Cell
The Cell, outlines the fundamental events related to cell biology and how they impact a wide array of diseases through numerous cell types and mechanisms. New embedded resources including self-assessment, and expanded data analysis problems further facilitate student learning.
A History of Molecular Biology
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...
Narrative in Culture
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.
Drawing the Map of Life
Drawing the Map of Life is the dramatic story of the Human Genome Project from its origins, through the race to order the 3 billion subunits of DNA, to the surprises emerging as scientists seek to exploit the molecule of heredity. It's the first account to deal in depth with the intellectual roots of the project, the motivations that drove it, and the hype that often masked genuine triumphs. Distinguished science journalist Victor McElheny offers vivid, insightful profiles of key people, such as David Botstein, Eric Lander, Francis Collins, James Watson, Michael Hunkapiller, and Craig Venter. McElheny also shows that the Human Genome Project is a striking example of how new techniques (such as restriction enzymes and sequencing methods) often arrive first, shaping the questions scientists then ask. Drawing on years of original interviews and reporting in the inner circles of biological science, Drawing the Map of Life is the definitive, up-to-date story of today's greatest scientific quest. No one who wishes to understand genome mapping and how it is transforming our lives can afford to miss this book.
La cellule
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.
