Biology: Find Books

The meaning of biology is, "The science of life", which is derived from the Greek word bios (life), and logos (knowledge). So, Biology is the field of science dealing with Living Being. That's why Biology is also called Life Science. The book circumvents the customary human-centric style of nearly all introductory textbooks, the style which significantly misrepresents our understanding of the diversity of life. Our methodology focusses on the illustration of individual topics and their impact on different living species. For instance, the discussion of the cell-structure of different living things is present in the same chapter. The authors also highlight that it is essential to understand biological science as a whole for a thorough understanding of human biology. The book mainly avoids the use of specialized biological vocabulary where possible, instead it offers the concepts using simple English.

We are in the midst of a return to Henri Bergson – the French philosopher whose influence touches the fields of continental philosophy, literary theory and art theory. This revival of interest in his work could even be called a full-blown Bergson renaissance. Tano S. Posteraro contributes to this increasingly serious study of Bergson’s philosophy with a tight focus on Bergson’s theory of evolution. He presents an alternative Bergson: not a phenomenologist whose central concern is the conscious experience of lived time or the lived body in time, but a systematic philosopher of biology with a robust, prescient and largely workable evolutionary programme.

The World of Molecular Biology is a book which examines and explores the discoveries as well as the lives of twenty-five stellar scientists who have all contributed in different ways to the field that we know today as "molecular biology". The book covers a vast timeline from the last century to present day advances and concerns such as viral replication and transmission. The book examines the foundational structures of the field as well as how many scientists and basic scientific knowledge has contributed to our current understanding. Beginning with DNA (as hereditary material) and evolving into recombinant DNA and replication and somatic DNA, the book covers the way in which scientists have examined and explored these realms and some of the resultant discoveries which have led to the Nobel Prize. Nobel prize winners are not born, but they are made- they are made from years of education, years of familial nurturance, years of mentoring by other scientists (either formally or informally) and of course by luck, chance, fate and surreptitious encounters. Some of our scientists have spent years studying the fruit fly (drosophila), fly genetics, mutations, replications, and of course, genes, gene replication, split genes and "jumping genes". For those seeking an overview of the field of molecular biology this text will provide an overview of the lives of those who have delved most deeply into these issues and those whose discoveries have resulted in the Nobel Prize. The test is certainly relevant in today's world as we encounter and challenge the dreaded ever evolving virus known as Covid-19 which seems intent on replicating, changing, evolving, and challenging mankind and our scientific community.

Protocols used in Molecular Biology is a compilation of several examples of molecular biology protocols. Each example is presented with a concise introduction, materials and chemicals required, a step-by-step procedure and troubleshooting tips. Information about the applications of the protocols is also provided. The techniques included in this book are essential to research in the fields of proteomics, genomics, cell culture, epigenetic modification and structural biology. The protocols can also be used by clinical researchers (neuroscientists and oncologists, for example) for medical applications (diagnostics, therapeutics and multidisciplinary projects). Techniques explained in this reference include: - Nucleic Acid (DNA/RNA) isolation - Next-generation sequencing through real time PCR - Western Blotting - 2-D gel electrophoresis - Immunohistochemistry - Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) - Live cell-culture techniques - Golgi Staining Key Features: - Recent laboratory protocols - Diverse examples of molecular biology experiments - Simple step-by-step presentation of information - Special focus on scientific and clinical applications Protocols used in Molecular Biology is essential reading for academicians, molecular biologists, as well as graduate and undergraduate students studying basic and applied research. Pharmacologists, and medical researchers can also benefit from the wide array of techniques presented in the book.

Genetics, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Ecology, and Evolution takes the readers through the various processes in genetics and explains them the meaning, history, role and application of this field and also states its importance in the current world. It also explains the meaning of molecular biology and the various applications of molecular biology, focusing on the study that has been conducted in the subject and the future application so this field. Also discussed in the book are the topics of cell biology and the various aspect related to it and the subject of ecology and speciation, in detail, which provide deep insights to the readers on the subjects.
