Pages :
Book Description
The Principles of Biology sequence (BI 211, 212 and 213) introduces biology as a scientific discipline for students planning to major in biology and other science disciplines. Laboratories and classroom activities introduce techniques used to study biological processes and provide opportunities for students to develop their ability to conduct research.
Introducing Biological Energetics
Author: Norman W. H. CheethamPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019959371X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
This novel, interdisciplinary text presents biological understanding in terms of general underlying principles, treating energy as the overarching theme and emphasizing the all-pervading influence of energy transformation in every process, both living and non-living. Key processes and concepts are explained in turn, culminating in a description of the overall functioning and regulation of a living cell. The book rounds off the story of life with a brief account of the endosymbiotic origins of eukaryotic cells, the development of multicellularity, and the emergence of modern plants and animals. Multidisciplinary research in science is becoming commonplace. However, as traditional boundaries start to break down, researchers are increasingly aware of the deficiencies in their knowledge of related disciplines. Introducing Biological Energetics redresses the reciprocal imbalance in the knowledge levels of physical and biological scientists in particular. Its style of presentation and depth of treatment has been carefully designed to unite these two readerships.

Molecular Biology of the Cell
Author: Energy And Life
Author: John WrigglesworthPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780748404339
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
^Energy and Life addresses the subject of energy in biological systems. It concentrates on the way in which energy flow through plants, animals and bacteria drives the primary processes of life such as metabolism, movement and ion transport. It deals with living systems from a whole-body approach, for exampke in starvation and obesity, to the cellular and molecular level where modern advances in biochemistry and molecular biology are revolutionising our knowledge of how "molecular machines" work. Extensive illustrations, concept boxes, summary sections, suggested further reading lists, as well as questions and answers aid with the presentation of a sometimes daunting, yet fascinating, area of biological science.

Complex Ecology
Author: Charles G. CurtinPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108244335
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 595
Book Description
From climate change to species extinction, humanity is confronted with an increasing array of societal and environmental challenges that defy simple quantifiable solutions. Complexity-based ecology provides a new paradigm for ecologists and conservationists keen to embrace the uncertainty that is pressed upon us. This book presents key research papers chosen by some sixty scholars from various continents, across a diverse span of sub-disciplines. The papers are set alongside first person commentary from many of the seminal voices involved, offering unprecedented access to experts' viewpoints. The works assembled also shed light on the process of science in general, showing how the shifting of wider perspectives allows for new ideas to take hold. Ideal for undergraduate and advanced students of ecology and conservation, their educators and those working across allied fields, this is the first book of its kind to focus on complexity-based approaches and provides a benchmark for future collected volumes.
