Introduction to Computational Biology
Biology is in the midst of a era yielding many significant discoveries and promising many more. Unique to this era is the exponential growth in the size of information-packed databases. Inspired by a pressing need to analyze that data, Introduction to Computational Biology explores a new area of expertise that emerged from this fertile field- the combination of biological and information sciences. This introduction describes the mathematical structure of biological data, especially from sequences and chromosomes. After a brief survey of molecular biology, it studies restriction maps of DNA, rough landmark maps of the underlying sequences, and clones and clone maps. It examines problems assoc...
A Leader's Call
In our present society, it is increasingly rare to ¬find a leader in any area of life who is known to have noble character and great integrity. The examples of current leadership in all areas leave a lot to be desired. If we are not careful, we are prone to follow in the steps of those wicked leaders mentioned above. King David was known as a man after the heart of God. His was a life worthy of examination and study. He was the greatest king in the history of Israel. Looking at this man's life will challenge all, it will force leaders in all areas to do one thing: to deal with their hearts. To the reader this will be, 'A Leader's Call'.
Waterman
Waterman is the first comprehensive biography of Duke Kahanamoku (1890–1968): swimmer, surfer, Olympic gold medalist, Hawaiian icon, waterman. Long before Michael Phelps and Mark Spitz made their splashes in the pool, Kahanamoku emerged from the backwaters of Waikiki to become America’s first superstar Olympic swimmer. The original “human fish” set dozens of world records and topped the world rankings for more than a decade; his rivalry with Johnny Weissmuller transformed competitive swimming from an insignificant sideshow into a headliner event. Kahanamoku used his Olympic renown to introduce the sport of “surf-riding,” an activity unknown beyond the Hawaiian Islands, to the wor...
The Watermen
The feel-good underdog story of the first American swimmer to win Olympic gold, set against the turbulent rebirth of the modern Games, that “bring[s] to life an inspiring figure and illuminate[s] an overlooked chapter in America’s sports history” (The Wall Street Journal) “Once or twice in a decade, one of these stories . . . like Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken [or] Daniel Brown’s The Boys in the Boat . . . captures the imagination of the public. . . . Add The Watermen by Michael Loynd to this illustrious list.”—Swimming World Winner of the International Swimming Hall of Fame’s Paragon Award and the Buck Dawson Authors Award In the early twentieth century, few Americans knew ...
Getting Outside
This is a memoir of a childhood spent on an isolated livestock ranch on the southern coast of Oregon in the mid-twentieth century. The author's family kept heading west until they reached the Pacific Ocean and then stalled for a hundred years. While much of the United States by 1950 was already urbanized, on Four Mile Creek horses were being replaced by tractors, axes by power saws, and coal-oil lamps by electric lights. The contrasts between the myths of the American West and reality are described: living off the land, freedom from all outside authority, cowboys, loggers, wilderness and the conflicted roles of men and women.
Collecting Experiments
Databases have revolutionized nearly every aspect of our lives. Information of all sorts is being collected on a massive scale, from Google to Facebook and well beyond. But as the amount of information in databases explodes, we are forced to reassess our ideas about what knowledge is, how it is produced, to whom it belongs, and who can be credited for producing it. Every scientist working today draws on databases to produce scientific knowledge. Databases have become more common than microscopes, voltmeters, and test tubes, and the increasing amount of data has led to major changes in research practices and profound reflections on the proper professional roles of data producers, collectors, ...
