Genetics and Molecular Biology Second Edition by Robert Schleif (EGJULMPM20152702530009)

Description:

This book is evolved from a course in molecular biology which the Author have been teaching primarily to graduate students for the past twenty years.
Because the subject is now mature, it is possible to present the material by covering the principles and encouraging students to learn how to apply them. Such an approach is particularly efficient as the subject of molecular genetics now is far too advanced, large, and complex for much value to come from attempting to cover the material in an encyclopedia-like fashion or teaching the definition of the relevant words in a dictionary-like approach.

Biology Matters Workbook Second Edition for GCE O Level by Lam Peng Kwan, Eric Y K Lam and Christine Y P Lee (EBJULMPM20152701470008)

Description:

The Biology Matters for GCE 'O' Level Workbook (2nd Edition) is specifically developed to complement the Biology Matters for GCE 'O' Level Textbook. Designed to support learning with understanding, this workbook fulfills the latest GCE 'O' Level Biology syllabus requirements of the Ministry of Education, Singapore. Its wide-ranging exercises build foundational knowledge and develop critical higher-order thinking skills.

Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Second Edition (EOJULMAM20152711110007)

Description:

Over the last few years, the language of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Has expanded enormously to the extent that few scientists can expect to be familiar with all the terms and concepts. This is partly due the massive influence of the Genome and successive "-omics" projects which have developed into many new areas of research. At the same time, terms from subject areas - including mathematics, statistics, physics and other life sciences - appear increasingly in the biochemical literature.

Plant Physiology Third Edition by Lincoln Taiz and Eduardo Zeiger (EPJULFPM20152402520006)

Description:

With this Third Edition, the authors and contributors set a new standard for textbooks in the field by tailoring the study of plant physiology to virtually every student--providing the basics for introductory courses without sacrificing the more challenging material sought by upper-division and graduate-level students.

Key pedagogical changes to the text will result in shorter book.

Principles of Molecular Virology Fourth Edition by Alan J. Cann (EPJULFPM20152401460005)

Description:

Principles of Molecular Virology, Fourth Edition, provides an introduction to modern virology. Viruses are submicroscopic, obligate intracellular parasites that are more diverse than all the bacterial, plant, and animal kingdoms combined. The book examines protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid, and protein-lipid interactions, which control the structure of virus parasites; the ways in which viruses infect cells; how viruses replicate; and the effects of viruses infection on host organisms.

A Guide to Protein Isolation by Clive Dennison (EAJULTPM20152303100004)

Description: 

It  is a science that the more fundamental the subject, the more university applicable it is. Nevertheless, it is important to strike a level of "fundamentalness" appropriate to the task in hand. For example, an in-depth study of the mechanics of motor cars would tell one nothing about the dynamics of traffic. Traffic exists on a different "level"-it is dependent upon the existence of motor vehicles but the physics and mathematics of traffic can be adequately addressed by considering motor vehicles as mobile "blobs", with no consideration of how they become mobile.

Mammalian Cell Viability: Methods and Protocols by Martin J. Stoddart (EMJULWPM20152206120003)

Description:

Whether the question is one of basic cell survival, or whether it is being used to correlate cell number to some other factor such as matrix synthesis, an estimate of cell viability is universally required. In Mammalian Cell Viability: Methods and Protocols, experts in the field describe methods from the most basic which can be performed in any laboratory, to some which require specific pieces of equipment. Initially focusing on methods for mono-layer and suspension cells, later chapters describe methods for determining viability within tissue sections and 3 dimensional culture systems. Finally, methods requiring highly specialized equipment are described in order to explain what is possible. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and vital tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Biology For Dummies Second Edition by Rene Fester Kratz & Donna Rae Siegfried (EBJULFAM20151701400002)

Description:

An updated edition of the ultimate guide to understanding biology
Ever wondered how the food you eat becomes the energy your body needs to keep going? The theory of evolution says that humans and chimps descended from a common ancestor, but does it tell us how and why? We humans are insatiably curious creatures who can't help wondering how things work--starting with our own bodies. Wouldn't it be great to have a single source of quick answer to all our questions how living things work? Now there is.
