"The 12th edition of Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology
continues this bestselling title's long tradition as one of the world's
favorite physiology textbooks. The immense success of this book is due
to its description of complex physiologic principles in language that is
easy to read and understand. Now with an improved color art program,
thorough updates reflecting today's medicine and science, and accessible
online at studentconsult.com, this textbook is an excellent source for
mastering essential human physiology knowledge." |

"
Until recently, a small number of model organisms has been the
focus of most research in molecular, cellular, and developmental
biology. But in the last few years, due in part to increased interest in
questions of evolution, technical advances in selectively altering gene
expression patterns, and the reduced costs of genome sequencing, the
range of organisms used for research is greatly expanding. Emerging Model Organisms, Volume 1,
introduces the reader to this new generation of model organisms,
providing a diverse catalog of potential species useful for extending
research in new directions. In this volume leading experts provide
chapters on 23 emerging model systems, ranging from bat and butterfly to
cave fish and choanoflagellates; cricket and finch to quail, snail, and
tomato. Subsequent releases of the Emerging Model Organisms series, already in preparation, will focus on additional species."

"For over fifty years, McDonald's Blood Flow in Arteries has remained the definitive reference work in the field of arterial hemodynamics, including arterial structure
and function with special emphasis on pulsatile flow and pressure.
Prestigious, authoritative and comprehensive, the sixth edition has been
totally updated and revised with several new chapters. This edition continues to provide the theoretical basis required for a thorough understanding of arterial blood flow in both normal and pathological conditions, while keeping clinical considerations and readability paramount throughout the text."

Developmental Biology 9th Edition by Scott F. Gilbert
Copyright 2010
ISBN: 9780878933846 USD 124.95
"During the past four years, the field of developmental biology has begun
a new metamorphosis. The Ninth Edition of Developmental Biology
mirrors this shift with a wholly revised text, over 600 new literature
citations, and substantial reorganization of content. The introductory
section has been streamlined from six chapters to three—one each on
developmental anatomy, the mechanisms of gene regulation during
differentiation, and cell–cell communication during morphogenesis.
Another new feature is the addition of short part openers that address
key concerns in developmental biology. These provide an introduction to
the subsequent chapters, telling the reader what to expect and placing
that information into a specific context. Each chapter ends with a guide
to Web-based resources relevant to that chapter’s content, and the
Ninth Edition is the first to include a glossary of key terms. Some of
the new material in this edition includes: mesenchymal and induced
pluripotent stem cells; the transdifferentiation of pancreatic cells;
new data on sea urchin micromere specification; the mechanisms whereby
Sry and Wnt signaling determine mammalian sex; the memory of cell fate
during amphibian limb regeneration; how bats got their wings and how
dachshunds got their short legs."

Laboratory Xenopus sp by Sherril L Green
Copyright 2009
ISBN: 9781420091090 USD 59.95
Even though Xenopus
is one of the two most popular non-mammalian animals used in biomedical
research, their value in the lab suffers from a lack of standardization
regarding their optimal care, breeding, and housing.
Filling the need for such a reference, The Laboratory Xenopus sp
provides researchers and lab managers with a practical, step-by-step
manual that emphasizes the humane care and use of captive clawed frogs
in basic as well as biomedical, and toxicological research.
Amply illustrated with 50 color illustrations of management practices and technical procedures, this how-to guide:
- Offers quick reference on the humane care and use of clawed frogs in the laboratory
- Illustrates management practices and technical procedures with figures and tables
- Provides sources of additional information on frogs, feed, and sanitation supplies
Supported
with hypothesis-driven research, this well-organized manual explores
the full range of responsibilities facing individuals who work with
this species. The content is divided into intentionally brief sections
that allow for the quick retrieval of essential information regarding
important biological features and experimental methodology, as well as
compliance and veterinary care, husbandry, housing, and water quality
management.

Developmental Neurobiology by Greg Lemke
Copyright 2009
ISBN: 978-0-12-375081-5 USD 155.00
"Developmental Neuroscience is one of the six core disciplines in
Neuroscience, and yet no single volume, non-textbook reference exists on the
market that provides researchers with more in-depth, high-level information on
developmental neurobiology. Currently, anyone interested in the field at a
higher level must sift through review articles published frequently and the more
specific handbooks that focus on aspects of development rather than the field as
a whole.
This reference is the first of its kind to fill this need. It pulls together
the relevant articles on the topic from the 10-volume Encyclopedia of
Neuroscience (Academic Press, 2008) and serves as an affordable and
immediate resource for scientists, postdocs, graduate students with an interest
beyond the basic textbook materials on the subject."

Insect Development by Lawrence I. Gilbert
Copyright 2009
ISBN: 978-0-12-375136-2 USD 93.95
"The publication of the extensive 7-volume work Comprehensive Molecular
Insect Science has provided library customers and their end-users with a
complete reference encompassing important developments and achievements in
modern insect science including reviews on the ecdysone receptor, lipocalins,
and bacterial toxins. This derivative from the major reference work, Insect
Development: Metamorphosis, Molting and Morphogenesis, presents a new
opportunity for the end user who desires to purchase a comprehensive yet
affordable work on these important aspects of insect development. Timeless
articles by a host of respected contributors in the field cover such topics as
embryonic development, hormonal control of form and function of the nervous
system, programmed cell death, organization of the endocrine system, and much
more."

Biology of Fishes by Quentin Bone and Richard Moore
Copyright 04/08
ISBN: 9780415375627 USD 93.00
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.
Biology of Fishes does not try to cover all aspects of fish
biology, but focuses on the ingenious ways in which fish have resolved
the particular problems that come from living in water, especially body
fluid regulation, locomotion, feeding mechanisms, and sensory systems.
Enough detail is provided for the reader to be able to go on and use
primary research papers. Each chapter has been thoroughly updated and a
new chapter on the immune system has been added.
This is an ideal textbook for students of fish biology and any of
the branches of aquatic biology. Given its skilful combination of
breadth and detail, the book also provides a manageable review of fish
biology for experienced biologists.
