Molecular Biology of the Cell

Unique in the field, this new reference provides up-to-the-minute coverage of the fast-growing areas of esthetic orthodontic treatment planning, orthognathic surgery, and computerized videoimaging tec...hnology. Its multidiscliplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment details the best that each specialty (orthodontic, orthognathic, and facial plastic) has to offer. Excellent coverage of soft-tissue growth differentiates between contemporary orthodontic treatment planning in growing patients (youths and adolescents) and maturing patients (adults and aging adults). Principles of facial soft-tissue surgical options are presented in detail, making this text the perfect choice for maximizing the esthetic outcome of orthodontic cases and combined orthodontic and orthognathic cases.

Biology: Life as We Know It!

Nature’s building blocks have never been more sociable than in this newest offering from the creators of The Periodic Table and Physics. From cells to DNA, from viruses to mammals, from chloroph...yll to flowers and fruit, and including the human body’s parts and systems, Biology is a single volume BIO101 course. Distinctive characters, a creative pallette, and straight- forward text make it all clear—and fun!Children's LiteratureLife science is more than diagrams and hard-to-pronounce vocabulary words, and that concept is taken to new heights as Dan Green and Basher collaborate to present an engaging introduction to the many aspects of biology, the study of life. Charles Darwin kicks off the book, which is divided into sections focusing on building blocks, life forms, body parts, and plant life. The book is unique in that it does not have a traditional narrative; rather, after an introduction to the chapter, each subtopic is featured on a one- or two-page spread presented from the first person point of view. Each character provides an overview of its function and conveys its most significant information in a fresh, sassy, and smart dialogue with the reader. Vibrant, quirky, cartoon-style illustrations as well as more detailed, scientific illustrations give concrete images of such microscopic organisms as mitochondria and DNA, while a glossary and an index make the book easier to use for reference. Human and plant reproduction are addressed scientifically but in the same playful tone as the rest of the book. This edition includes a poster with detailed illustrations of various human systems, such as muscular, digestive, respiratory, and reproductive. Colorful and unusual, this modern approach to biology will grab kids' attention and hopefully encourage them to search for more in-depth information in other books. Reviewer: Keri Collins Lewis

This is Biology: The Science of the Living World

biology Until Recently Has Been The Neglected Stepchild Of Science, And Many Educated People Have Little Grasp Of How Biology Explains The Natural World. Yet To Address The Major Political And Moral Q...uestions That Face Us Today, We Must Acquire An Understanding Of Their Biological Roots. This Magisterial New Book By Ernst Mayr Will Go Far To Remedy This Situation. An Eyewitness To This Century's Relentless Biological Advance And The Creator Of Some Of Its Most Important Concepts, Mayr Is Uniquely Qualified To Offer A Vision Of Science That Places Biology Firmly At The Center, And A Vision Of Biology That Restores The Primacy Of Holistic, Evolutionary Thinking.as He Argues Persuasively, The Physical Sciences Cannot Address Many Aspects Of Nature That Are Unique To Life. Living Organisms Must Be Understood At Every Level Of Organization; They Cannot Be Reduced To The Laws Of Physics And Chemistry. Mayr's Approach Is Refreshingly At Odds With The Reductionist Thinking That Dominated Scientific Research Earlier In This Century, And Will Help To Redirect How People Think About The Natural World.this Is Biology Can Also Be Read As A Life History Of The Discipline—from Its Roots In The Work Of Aristotle, Through Its Dormancy During The Scientific Revolution And Its Flowering In The Hands Of Darwin, To Its Spectacular Growth With The Advent Of Molecular Techniques. Mayr Maps Out The Territorial Overlap Between Biology And The Humanities, Especially History And Ethics, And Carefully Describes Important Distinctions Between Science And Other Systems Of Thought, Including Theology. Both As An Overview Of The Sciences Of Life And As The Culmination Of A Remarkable Life In Science, this Is Biology Will Richly Reward Professionals And General Readers Alike. ann Finkbeiner [a] Lovely Book. . . [it] Is A Long Essay On How Biologists Study Living Things On The Large Scale Of Organisms And Their Families. Its Range Is Enormous. . . This Is An Old-fashioned Book, To Be Read Slowly, More Than Once, And To Be Thought About Afterward. Isn't That The What Books Are For? -- New York Times Book Review
