Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. In this, Skinner's first book, he "launched a new science based on selection by consequences as the mechanism through which behavior changes during the lifetime of the individual. The book summarizes nearly ten years of research, spanning the years of Skinner's graduate school days at Harvard through his three years as a member of the Society of Fellows. Here he defines his basic unit of behavior, the operant, proposes rate as the basic datum, and describes his research program-to identify the variables of which behavior is a function." - B.F. Skinner Foundation. ix, [1], 457 pages. References. Index.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Unicellular organisms use gravity as an environmental guide to reach and stay in regions optimal for their growth and reproduction. These single cells play a significant role in food webs and these factors together make the effects of gravity on unicellular organisms a fascinating and important subject for scientific study. In addition, they present valuable model systems for studying the mechanisms of gravity perception, a topic of increasing interest in these days of experimentation in space. This book reveals how single cells achieve the same sensoric capacity as multicellular organisms like plants or animals. It reviews the field, discussing the historical background, ecological significance and related physiology of unicellular organisms, as well as various experimental techniques and models with which to study them. Those working on the biology of unicellular organisms, as well as in related areas of gravitational and space science will find this book of value. How do single cells know where is up and down? What is their ecological benefit? How can they be used to study the mechanisms of gravity perception? Historical and current approaches are summarised in order to answer these basic questions of interest to biologists as well as space and gravitational scientists. This item is printed on demand.

Those working on the biology of unicellular organisms, as well as in related areas of gravitational and space science will find this book of value. How do single cells recognize gravity and apply their perception to their ecological advantage? This book summarizes historical and current approaches to this basic question. Single cells play a significant role in food webs and also present valuable model systems for studying the mechanisms of gravity perception, a topic of increasing interest in these days of experimentation in space. The book is directed to biologists and other life scientists interested in space sciences, cellular evolution, cell motility, signal transduction and ecophysiology. This item is printed on demand.
