Introduction to Genetics A Molecular Approach

The theme of Introduction to Genetics is the progression from molecules (DNA and genes) to processes (gene expression and DNA replication) to systems (cells, organisms, and populations). This progression reflects both the basic logic of life and the way in which modern biological research is structured.


This book is an excellent companion for

students in human genetics or for researchers that want

to gain background and knowledge in this field.

The progression from molecules through

processes to systems makes eminenet sense to

a clear visual style similar to the one used for Genomes 3 should

make this an attractive proposition for adoption.

Plant Biology

Plant Biology is a textbook written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. Plant Biology is a ‘where we are now’ account of plant science. It acknowledges the distinguished history of the subject, but its approach is strongly influenced by the radically new outlook that has emerged in the last twenty years. Many of the recent advances in plant biology the authors describe are useful in the understanding of modern biology as a whole.

Plant Biochemistry

Plant Biochemistry presents each topic from the cellular level to the ecological and environmental levels, placing it in the context of the whole plant. Biochemical pathways are represented as route maps, showing how one reaction follows another. These maps emphasize the dynamism and flexibility of the plant in the face of environmental challenges.

...much more then a suite of biochemical reactions and it offers a facinating vision of the living plant

cell...clearly a textbook to recommend without any hesitation to

students and their teachers...

...abundantly and lavishly illustrated with original colour line

drawings, and photographs and micrographs from leading

plant laboratories and practitioners from around the world...

BIOS Instant Notes in Plant Biology, Second Edition

The second edition of BIOS Instant Notes in Plant Biology, has been both updated and reorganized and gives an insight into the whole of plant science, integrating structure, function and physiology. . A major addition is the section on understanding plants which introduces the major techniques in plant science and shows how advances are made. Molecular techniques are used in all areas of plant science and are included throughout.

Biology of Fishes, Third Edition

The Third Edition of Biology of Fishes is chiefly about fish as remarkably efficient machines for coping with the many problems that life in water entails, and looks at many such special cases. Fishes form the largest group of vertebrates, with around 20,000 known species, and they display a remarkable diversity of size, shape, internal structure and ecology to cope with environments ranging from transient puddles to the abyssal depths of the sea
