Softcover. Condition: Good. Jan Parr (illustrator). 2nd. The second edition of this successful textbook looks again at the influence of natural selection on behavior - an animal's struggle to survive by exploiting resources, avoiding predators, and maximizing reproductive success. In this edition, new examples are introduced throughout, many illustrated with full-color photographs. In addition, important new topics are added including the latest techniques of comparative analysis, the theory, and application of DNA fingerprinting techniques, extensive new discussion on brood parasite/host coevolution, the latest ideas on sexual selection in relation to disease resistance, and a new section on the intentionality of communication. Written in the lucid style for which these two authors are renowned, the text is enhanced by boxed sections illustrating important concepts and new marginal notes that guide the reader through the text. This book will be essential reading for students taking courses in behavioral ecology.

Softcover. Condition: used. 3. Essential Endocrinology explains the subject of endocrinology and endocrine disease in a clear and logical fashion and presents it to the medical student in the context of clinical medicine. In this way, the entire scope of the subject is treated and an explanation of endocrine disease is coherently built upon sound scientific principles. This book bridges the gap between basic science and the clinical practice of endocrinology. Written by a clinician and a teacher of preclinical science it covers the cellular mechanisms of hormone action and an account of each of the main glands. While aiming to be comprehensive, it does not impose upon students information which is superfluous to their needs. Understanding basic concepts will allow them to build on their foundations and frequent references to clinical problems should remind them of the link between science and practice which is particularly exemplified in endocrinology. The book also informs about laboratory methodology and imaging as applied to endocrinology.

Hardcover. Condition: used. Illustrated edition. This is a modern undergraduate textbook explaining the physical methods used in determining inorganic structure, particularly those structures based on ionization, spectroscopy, or diffraction. The emphasis of the book is on interpretation of data and clinical applications of methods, although detailed theory and experimental factors are included. Increasingly useful methods, such as high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of solids, and resonance Raman spectroscopy are given due importance. A notable feature of the book is the lengthy final chapter which contains 19 case histories which discuss structural problems related to particular compounds or groups of compounds and use a range of methods in order to understand the systems or solve the problems.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 2nd. This volume aims to explain the basic concepts of crystallography and to discuss the principal modes of study of crystalline solids and the diffraction of X-rays, electrons and neutrons. Some depth of understanding of crystallography and some knowledge of the methods employed in the study of crystalline solids are central to the contemporary study of many of the active areas in chemistry, the earth sciences, materials science and physics, and this book will therefore be of interest to students and researchers in those fields where crystallography applies. A notable feature of the book is the inclusion of problems at the end of each chapter. It is the first volume in the series "Crystalline Solids".
