Biology

Highly recommended!!
Richard C. Francis weaves a fascinating narrative while seamlessly integrating the most cutting-edge ideas in twenty-first-century biology, from genomics to evo-devo.
Very up-to date, this is a must-read for any biologist.

Did you know that many of life's most basic processes from DNA replication to photosynthesis rely on quantum processes? Quantum mechanics has recently been shown to be at work at the cellular level, providing tantalizing possibilities of explaining many remaining puzzles in biology and opening up a new and exciting research field.
A must-read for biochemists and cell biologists in particular.

Regarded by some as the greatest natural history book of modern tiimes!

" The classic that launched the environmental movement". You can't consider yourself "environmental" until you have read the book that started it all. In this 40th anniversary edition, also read the "afterword" on the importance of SS by E.O. Wilson, co-author of "The Ants".

"Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection is both a key scientific work of research, still read by scientists, and a readable narrative that has had a cultural impact unmatched by any other scientific text. First published in 1859, it has continued to sell, to be reviewed and discussed, attacked and defended. The Origin is one of those books whose controversial reputation ensures that many who have never read it nevertheless have an opinion about it. Jim Endersby's major new scholarly edition debunks some of the myths that surround Darwin's book, while providing a detailed examination of the contexts within which it was originally written, published and read. Endersby provides a new, up-to-date and very readable introduction to this classic text and a level of scholarly apparatus (explanatory notes, bibliography and appendixes) that is unmatched by any other edition."--BOOK JACKET.

An innovative online text from the publishers of Nature.

Approaches modern biotechnology from a molecular basis, which grew out of the increasing biochemical understanding of physiology. Using straightforward, less-technical jargon, Clark and Pazdernik manage to introduce each chapter with a basic concept that ultimately evolves into a more specific detailed principle. This up-to-date text covers a wide realm of topics, including the forensics used in crime scene investigations, the burgeoning field of nanobiotechnology, bioethics and other cutting edge topics in today's world of biotechnology.
