Title: Biological Science/ Authors: Freeman, Scott Abstract: This book is for instructors who want to help their students learn how to think like a biologist. The content knowledge, problem-solving ability, and analytical skills that this requires can help students become better human beings, in addition to preparing them for success in clinical medicine, scientific research, conservation, law, teaching, journalism and other careers. Description: ix,1385 pages: illustrations (color) Includes index.

Title: ENZYMES: Catalysis, Kinetics and Mechanisms Authors: Punekar, N. S. Abstract: Enzymes are the lead actors in the drama of life. Without these molecular machines the genetic information stored in DNA is worthless. With rising attention to the fashionable fields like molecular biology, genetic engineering, and biotechnology, the techniques to manipulate DNA have occupied center stage. Being popular, many concepts of molecular biology/genetic engineering are now introduced to undergraduates. Unfortunately, this has happened at the cost of other fundamental facets of biology, including enzymology. In the excitement to collate volumes of data for Systems Biology (and the various “Omics” fashions), the beauty and vigor of careful analysis – one enzyme at a time – is neglected. Description: This book endeavors to synthesize the two broad mechanistic facets of enzymology, namely, the chemical and the kinetic. It also attempts to bring out the synergy between enzyme structures and mechanisms. Written with self study format in mind, the emphasis is on how to begin experiments with an enzyme and subsequently analyze the data collected. Individual concepts are treated as stand-alone short sections, and the book is largely modular in organization. The reader can focus on a concept (with real examples) with minimal cross-referencing to the rest of the book. Many attractive enzymes were consciously passed up in order to suit the “Biology” audience.

Title: Spine Surgery. Authors: Meyer (Editor), Bernhard; Rauschmann (Editor), Michael Description: We are very excited to introduce this new book on spinal surgery, which follows the curriculum of the EUROSPINE basic and advanced diploma courses. The approach we take is a purely case-based one, in which each case illustrates the concepts surrounding the treatment of a given pathology, including the uncertainties and problems in decision-making. The readers will notice that in many instances a lack of evidence for a given treatment exists. So decisions taken are usually not a clearcut matter of black or white, but merely different shades of gray. Probably in a lot of cases, there is often more than one option to treat the patient. The authors were asked to convey this message to the reader, giving him a guidance as what would be accepted within the mainstream. In addition, the reader is provided with the most updated literature and evidence on the topic.

Title: Bioinformatics for Evolutionary Biologists: Authors: Haubold, Bernhard; Börsch-Haubold, Angelika Abstract: Evolutionary biologists have two types of ancestors: naturalists such as Charles Darwin (1809–1892) and theoreticians such as Ronald A. Fisher (1890–1962). The intellectual descendants of these two scientists have traditionally formed quite separate tribes. However, the distinction between naturalists and theoreticians is rapidly fading these days: Many naturalists spend most of their time in front of computers analyzing their data, and quite a few theoreticians are starting to collect their own data. The reason for this coalescence between theory and experiment is that two hitherto expensive technologies have become so cheap, they are now essentially free: computing and sequencing. Computing became affordable in the early 1980s with the advent of the PC. Description: The aim of this book is to help the reader overcome the distinction between naturalists and theoreticians difficulties. We do this by posing a series of problems. These come in two forms, paper and pencil problems, and computer problems. Our choice of concepts is centered on the analysis of sequences in an evolutionary context. The aim here is to give the reader a look under the hood of the programs applied in the computer problems.
